The Aryan Brotherhood, also referred to as Perm, due to geographical location, is a warlord state in western Russia. It borders Vyatka to the west, Bashkiria and the Ural League to the south, Zlatoust to the east, and the Order of Saint George to the north.

The country operates under a National Socialist dictatorship, under the control of Alexey Alexandrovich Dobrovolsky. By going down the focus tree, the Aryan Brotherhood can potentially become ultranationalist under Zigfrid Shultz as Hyperborea.

History

In the years following the failure that was the West Russian War, many people came to believe that the Germans were right when it came to the supremacy of the Ubermensch. While for most, this cause a feeling of depression, it stirred different emotions in the mind of one Alexey Dobrovolsky.

Dobrovolsky believed that, contrary to what the Germans argued, Aryanism was a matter of psychology, not physiology. He believed that he, along with many others around him, had the inner strength to be called Aryans, regardless of their Slavic ancestry. And so, he began to gather men together to destroy the Slavic untermensch of Russia, creating a new, pure, Russian Reykh, of which Dobrovolsky would be the Fyurer.

Together, Dobrovolsky and his men overthrew and slaughtered the Slavic rulers of Perm, renaming it to Permhaym and enslaving or exterminating any untermensch within the city. Now, the Aryan Brotherhood continues to raid from Permhaym, uplifting Aryans they find, and killing any untermensch too. Meanwhile, Dobrovolsky waits in Permhaym, looking forward to a future where the Slavs are purged, and the Aryan race is dominant, once and for all.

Politics

Overview

The Aryan Brotherhood operates under a National Socialist government, led by the Fyurer Alexey Dobrovolsky. Its capital city Permhaym has deteriorated severely since the fall of the Soviet Union and the anarchist occupation, resulting in almost complete dissolution of its industrial capability. The Aryan Brotherhood's end goal is to be allied by their "German brothers" and purge the Untermensch from Russia.

Foreign relations

The Aryan Brotherhood is hated by virtually all other Russian warlords. They are seen as nothing more than a joke by many Russian warlords and as a band of murderers and rapists by others. Despite their deep reverence toward Germany, who they see as their brethren, the German government hardly even knows of their existence and would greet the brotherhood with complete disgust, due to the Brotherhood's interpretation on what an Aryan is. As such, rather than a somber message when defeated like the other warlords, their capitulation quote states "There remains some justice in the Russian Anarchy."

Should Omsk face the Brotherhood at the regional stage and defeat them, a special event will play where the Brotherhood is executed, with many of the Brotherhood members begging for their lives in butchered German.

If the Brotherhood is able to unify Russia, and should Hermann Göring have not only won the German Civil War, but also have gotten to Fall Rot (the invasion of Russia), he can instead opt to invite the Brotherhood to the Einheitspakt.

Trivia

• Originally, the Aryan Brotherhood was ruled by Alexander Medvedev, who took the name Andreas Maier, despite the fact that Medvedev was in real life, an individual with no ties to National Socialism. This was changed after the developers learned that his family searches for mentions of him (and in general, this prompted the developers to stop giving individuals whose records were otherwise clean evil roles). After the change, Medvedev can still become the leader of the country (albeit under the name of the "Perm Antifascist Committee"), provided that Onega "unifies" western Russia (he will meet with a soldier sent to negotiate, and be overjoyed to learn that said soldier was an old friend of his), and in addition, an event for Vyatka features him if the Constitutional Democrats win the election, expressing surprise at the Tsar's new government. Another event for Vyatka at the super-regional stage will have him pay respects to his wife.
• The Brotherhood originally only had the goal of conquering western Russia, then submitting to Reichskommissariat Moskowien. As the lore for the game developed, this was changed, and as a result, they became a proper unifier for Russia. Presumably, this was scrapped because doing so would mean that whoever unified the other three regions would have to fight Moskowien to reclaim European Russia, and doing so would likely trigger a war between the Russian unifier and Germany. This may have inspired the ability for Germany under Hermann Göring to be able to invite the Brotherhood to the Einheitspakt if Goring gets to Fall Rot and the Brotherhood has unified Russia.
  • Strangely, none of the other Fuhrers of Germany can invite the Brotherhood to the Pakt. While Reinhard Heydrich is likely too busy dealing with internal affairs to invite them, this does not explain why Albert Speer or Martin Bormann do not have the ability to invite the Brotherhood to the faction.
