Kola (EMG-2)

The Sámi People's Republic on the Kolan Peninsula, also the Republic of Kola or simply Kola, is a nation in EMG-2. Prior to Turn 1, it was controlled by Russia, but Sámi politician Anthenon Kalugin led a revolt against Russia, and to peacefully resolve this, Vladimir Putin gave the Kolan Peninsula to the revolutionaries.

Kola was the leading member of the coalition opposing the Dutch takeover of Flanders in the Dutch-Flemish War, despite fighting against Basque, another member of the Historical Nations Alliance. Following the conflict, Kola turned its wartime alliance into a permanent one, called the International Coalition Alliance, and founded the Four Northern Seas Alliance. Additionally, Vake attempted to frame it for an attempted assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.

Kolan Civil War
In turn 6, Kola began negotiating deals with Norway and Finland under which their northern territory would become Kolan, but while this was happening, Anthenon Kalugin died. During this time, a group called the Kolan Nationalists, concerned with their country potentially losing its Sámi national identity, began a civil war. To counter them, Gustu Hárri was made Emergency President. The Kolan Government has received support from Vake and Spain. Despite this, Kolan Nationalists quickly took over the southern and eastern parts of the peninsula. However, an unidentified loud noise from Ostrovonoy killed an entire legion of Kolan Nationalist troops. When Nils Anteer of Vake listened to the recording, he fell into a coma and died shortly after, though it was later revealed he had meningitis from Coxsackie B virus, as the probable cause of death.

At the beginning of Turn 7, the Kolan Nationalists lost the conflict and were forced to surrender, but Russia declared war on Kola.

Second Emergency President
In turn 9, Gustu Hárri's plane was landing on Östersund's airport when one of the plane's wheels fell of due to a pothole that was on the ground. The plane crash killed parliament member Gáhte Leammu and put President Gustu Hárri on life support. Gustu Hárri was temporarily replaced by Čuvje-Juđet Ráffokirst, leader of The Sami Unification party. Hárri then died, and Ráffokirst was officially sworn in as President. An election will be held for President in turn 10. After the war finished, Kola declared neutrality in all international affairs.
