| - The PERDR, or the Peoples' Eastern Roman Democratic Republic, entered this century as the most feared nation in the world. They had proclaimed themselves the vanguard of the Levelist Revolution, and felt it was their duty to incorporate poor, "oppressed" countries into their "liberated' nation. Many small nations like Hungary and Czechoslovakia had fallen to the Byzantines, and their thirst for expansion continued. They were driven by their feared leader, Baltazar Georgopoulos, who celebrated a huge propaganda victory with the Byzantines being the fourth nation to land a man on the moon in 1904 (after Meixikou, Japan, and India). However, after his death in 1905, great political instability and strife gripped the Byzantine Republic, with the next several leaders barely lasting for a single year. The eventual successor, Hector Laskaris, would come to power in 1909, desperate for some external force to keep his nation from collapsing. He began building up the military to even greater extents, using even more propaganda and being even harsher than Georgopoulos. Tensions between the Byzantine Greeks and the rest of Europe were high... However, it was northern Africa which would first be a test of Byzantine strength. The nation of Libya had been consumed by political instability since its inception. It only took a slight push from Byzantine spies to start Levelist rebellions, that were then funded and armed by the PEDR. When Libya went into chaos, the Byzantine forces swooped into Libya in 1911, placing an allied Levelist government in place. Meixikou, crediting isolationism for its success, did nothing. Japan, fearing that another war could send it down the same path of China and Sri Vijaya, did nothing. India and Vijayanagar sent empty threats, telling the Byzantines to stop. Laskaris swore that would be the last revolution he would help. He lied. The PEDR then began doing the very same tactics to Arabia and Egypt, destabilizing both nations. In 1913, Byzantine forces swept into Egypt, aiding revolutionary forces there which had been almost totally funded and supplied from PEDR. Egypt, covered in propaganda stating that they would unite the world into one nation, joined PEDR directly in 1915. The next year, in 1916, the Byzantines began to start a revolution in Arabia. The Arabs managed to unite and hold them off for a while, but they too were placed under a Levelist government in 1919. India and Vijayanagar sent empty threats again. The rest of the world did nothing. Laskaris and the PEDR seemed unstoppable.
