History[]
By the 1980s, the reformed Belkan Federation was in a state of economic turmoil. Belka's representative government, seated in Dinsmark, consequently fell under the control of a radical right-wing party, which aimed to restore Belka to its former glory. Dinsmark became the site of numerous military parades marked by ostentatious displays of the nation's technological might.[1]
Throughout the duration of the Belkan War, Dinsmark's strategic northern location isolated the capital from the intense fighting along Belka's western and southern defense lines. Although the Allied Forces had begun preparing for an invasion of Nord Belka, the nuclear detonations of June 6, 1995 ensured that the Allies never reached Dinsmark.[2] Despite undergoing considerable changes to its political structure in the wake of Belka's defeat, Dinsmark remained the nation's capital into the 21st century.[3]
