They are all armed with 2 × A 430 100 mm (3.9 in) guns, 2 × 2 x 30 mm guns, 2 x 4 × 14.5 mm machine guns, and 2 × 40 × 122 mm MRL Strela 2M MANPADs. | |||

Named after his great grandfather, Ivan Alexov has been appointed as the Chief of Army by his father, Tsar Zheko II. From birth, he underwent rigorous training, shaping him into a formidable warrior for the nation. This extensive training stems from Tsar Zheko II's mistrust in the armed forces, a sentiment rooted in their vulnerability during the Soviet Order's occupation. | |||

The year 1992 marked a pivotal moment in Balkovaria's history when Allied forces liberated the nation after the collapse of the Soviet Order.

The emergence of the Social Liberal Party of Balkovaria played a crucial role, electing the nation's first Prime Minister and introducing triennial elections. | |||
Following the Prime Minister's election, Balkovaria faced a unique challenge. Despite overtures from Monarchist sympathizers, the Prime Minister stood firm in rejecting the return of the former Balkovarian Royal Family, underscoring a commitment to democratic principles.

Pre Soviet Order Occupation (1652- 1953)
Balkovaria, since its establishment in 1652, had functioned as an Absolute Monarchy until the disruptive Soviet occupation of 1953. This historical interruption paved the way for a resurgence of monarchical rule in 1994 during the Monarchist turn. The enduring legacy of the (insert name here) dynasty has gracefully presided over Balkovaria's lands since the nation's inception and persists in doing so following its restoration in 1994.
Throughout Balkovarian history, each Tsar has held sway until either their demise or abdication due to old age. As of 2023, Tsar Zheko II, aged 56, upholds this tradition. The Tsar has three children, aged 36, 31, and 24, respectively. The two youngest are daughters, while the eldest, Ivan Alexov, follows in his father's footsteps as the male heir to the throne.
Named after his great grandfather, Ivan Alexov has been appointed as the Chief of Army by his father, Tsar Zheko II. From birth, he underwent rigorous training, shaping him into a formidable warrior for the nation. This extensive training stems from Tsar Zheko II's mistrust in the armed forces, a sentiment rooted in their vulnerability during the Soviet Order's occupation.
Liberation and the Democratic Dawn (1992-1994)
The year 1992 marked a pivotal moment in Balkovaria's history when Allied forces liberated the nation after the collapse of the Soviet Order. The demise of external dominance paved the way for local governance, leading to the establishment of Balkovaria as a democratic republic. The emergence of the Social Liberal Party of Balkovaria played a crucial role, electing the nation's first Prime Minister and introducing triennial elections.
