Alternate history: the Nations Against the New World Order, European Federation, alternate Korea & alternate Vietnam

Work in progress.


https://flag-designer.appspot.com/gwtflags/SvgFileService?d=9&c1=5&c2=7&c3=4&o=0&c4=1&s=16&c5=4
The Nations Against The New World Order was formed by Cascadia, Zootopia, and the European Federation in 1946 as a political and military alliance, much like real-world North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and Warsaw Pact.

The Cascadian constitution is the basis for each NATNWO nation and how they operate, with each nation being a secular, nonpartisan, and either a constitutional republic or federation, depending on geographic and population size (republic for smaller countries, federation for larger countries). 


During World War 2, Cascadia ran pro-independence propaganda campgins to regions of western Europe that they occupied gave independence to most of the western European lands listed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_separatist_movements_in_Europe (except for London, England & Catalonia), giving them complete sovereignty and heavy political and military support.

Here’s a list of parent countries & their independent offspring (Ireland is the first member):

Parent country: United Kingdom.
Territories given: 
Wales. 
Scotland. 
Northern Ireland. 
All crown dependencies.
All overseas territories.
The following colonies were also handed over to the European Federation:
Bahamas.
Barbados.
Jamaica.
Leeward Islands.
Antigua and Barbuda.
Dominica.
Saint Christopher (St Kitts)-Nevis.
Windward Islands.
Grenada.
Saint Lucia.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Parent country: France.
Territories given:
Corsica.
French Basque Country.
Northern Catalonia/Roussillon.
Savoy.
Provence.
All regions that are modern-day overseas regions, overseas collectivities, overseas departments, & territorial collectivities except for several French Polynesian islands for nuclear testing.

Parent country: Italy:
Territories given:
Friuli-Venezia Giulia. 
Lombardy. Sardinia. 
Sicily. 
Veneto.

Parent country: Germany.
Territory given: Bavaria.

Parent country: Denmark.
Territory given: Faroe Islands.

The European Federation also keeps an enclave in Willingdon, England, in the areas where the Battle for the Animal Kingdom the events of the book Animal Farm happened.

The European Federation adopts the Cascadian constitution, and as part of Nations Against The New World Order, also standardises military equipment, strategies, tactics, and philosophies.

The European Federation’s rival, the European Union, has frequently harassed landlocked EF member states with border controls.


In this timeline, the NATNWO has also won both the Korean and Vietnam wars, with both countries becoming NATNWO members.

The Zootopia Human Hunters & Zootopia & weapons of mass destruction


https://www.visualbadge.com/badge.aspx?badge=M261F&base=silver&textfont=BLOCK&textcolor=RED&text1=CHIEF&text2=ZOOTOPIA&text3=HUMAN&text4=HUNTERS&text5=&text6=%E2%98%A0&seal=C136BKE&textsep=NONE

The Zootopia Humans Hunters is an intelligence, law enforcement gendarmerie, and combined arms force all rolled into 1 (that is comparable to organisations such as the CIA and Mossad, Volkspolizei and People's Armed Police, and United States Marine Corps respectively). However, some can say that their dogmatic loyalty to their country and animal kind is comparable to the Waffen SS's loyalty to Adolf Hitler, and near purity in feeling dark emotions (particularly hatred, anger, rage, and lust for power, all with an obsessive, unbreakable passion, along with showing enemies not even the slightest hint of sympathy, compassion or mercy), is similar to, but even more extreme than the Sith from Star Wars.

Their official emblem is Fire, Crosshairs, and Skull and CrossbonesFire represents hot destruction. Crosshairs represents targeting. And the skull and crossbones represents the death of humans.

Its stated purpose is to "Protect the Nonpartisan Secular Constitutional Republic of Zootopia from humans". More specifically, the ZHH monitors the activity of foreign governments, religious groups, political groups, and companies owned and/or ran by humans and/or have humans in them, act as customs agents whenever humans are coming to Zootopia or suspected of doing so (especially in the case of watercraft in Zootopian waters and aircraft that landed in Zootopian jurisdiction), and does experimentation on humans sentenced to capital punishment.
They were also responsible for licensing humans to possess weapons while on Zootopian jurisdiction, and registration of weapons, weapon components, and ammunition possessed by humans (especially by non-military personnel). Humans are not allowed to join the ZHH, with exceptions of human secret agents working under extremely strict binding contracts.

The ZHH is the ONLY government agency ever to be authorised to be both a military and law enforcement agency. The constitutions of NATNWO countries strictly forbid deploying on civil soil (with some leeway of allowing militaries to be deployed on civil soil in the case of an invasion), and discourages militarisation of law enforcement.

There are 4 branches of the ZHH, from largest to smallest: infantry, pirate fleet (navy), air force, and intelligence.

Basic training for a ZHH Stormtrooper (infantry soldier) is over 13 hard weeks long, and from then on, troops would train every day when possible (often for hours on end).

For ZHH Shock Troops (special forces) and secret agents, their training is even longer, harder, and more in-depth about things such as infiltration, intelligence gathering and assassinations.


The ZHH, in response to seeing how the United States uses hired mercenaries in Latin America, formed their own "Privateer's corps", which uses animal infiltrators and human mercenaries to do their bidding.
Part of this are the "Pirate Marines", which was more active and acted more like sea vigilantes. Most of the time they went after waling vessels, illegal fishing vessels, and conducted "counter piracy" operations around Indonesia.


Zootopia is the only NATNWO country with weapons of mass destruction. These are mainly old nuclear bombs and warheads, newer hydrogen warheads, and a bioweapon.

It is also the only NATNWO country that authorises human experimentation, and, for those convicted of very serious crimes (ie war crimes, crimes against humanity), they are exempt from the protection from "cruel and unusual punishment".

There is a laboratory-prison that Zootopia brought from cascadia that's located in the Aleutian islands, and this is the place where bioweapons and interrogation and mind control techniques are developed.

The lab is guarded by the ZHH, surrounded by Zootopian Navy ships and the Air Force patrolling the skies and surrounding area (even though the ZHH has a few ships and a number of stealth and combat aircraft).

The lab is biosafety level 4+ (the video below should give you a clue about what a BSL 4 laboratory is like) and is also equipped with at least level 3 biosafety cabinets.

Inside the prison, inmates generally wear pocketless pink jumpsuits without underwear, and are confined to tiny pink cells (which can be as bare as a 25 square foot room with a drain).

If a bioweapon is to be experimented on an inmate, the inmate is led to the lowest level of the building, the "bio experiments" floor.
Here, there are all cast stainless steel cells, each one with an air-tight door, a floor that slopes inward toward a drain, and top vents to let in experimental substances and controls the cell's air mix.

When a cell is to be cleaned out, first, it is slicked down with liquid soap. Then it is cleaned with chemical pressure washers that ensures that viruses and other biological substances does not leak into the outside world and literally end humanity unintentionally.

All waste, including sewage, is treated on-site and incinerated and inspected to prevent contamination.

(Note: since this part may seem slightly "graphic" to some people, this is the start of the point where you may want to skip.)

_________________________________________________________________________

When an inmate dies, an autopsy is generally done. Though sometimes vivisections have also been done when experimenters feel that a vivisection would yield better results than an autopsy.

The bioweapon, a virus, is simply called “Invincible”. While it is absolutely harmless to organisms that aren’t humans, it is ludicrously lethal to humans with no cure, and anything that one does to even try to slow down their death from the disease once they get is is next to useless.

Invincible is perhaps most comparable to ebolapox in which the effects combine the effects of other diseases that were in existence before, especially ebola, but also causes the following:
Tissue to die and rot, with skin peeling at least as easily as wet tissue paper.
Blood and projectile vomiting.
Internal bleeding.
Diarrhea, with blood.
Dysentery.
Hijacking the immune system and turning it against the body.
Destruction of the central nervous system.

And that's just to name a few.

All of this is from a germ that incubates in less than 2 days at most and multiplies at a rate that is off the charts.



                                                                                                                                                  
(End of "graphic" section.)


Origins and history:

The Zootopia Human Hunters can trace their origins to a special unit of Robin Hood's animal volunteers that joined the Cascadian Army's Special Forces. This unit was called "Titan force" (no reference to the band).

These individuals had to pass training that are about as hard for them as the Cascadian Army's Special Forces would be for humans.
These units, alongside their human counterparts, wreaked pure havoc against invading American and Canadian ground-based forces.

After the Pearl Harbor attack on December the 7th, 1941, both the human and animal Commandos, together with Cascadia's conventional military forces, were deployed outside of Cascadia to capture islands in the pacific from Japan before other countries do, to enforce the independence of counties of the future European Federation, and attempt to combat war crimes by both sides without starting a war.

After World War 2, the Nonpartisan Secular Constitutional Republic of Zootopia was being formed, and its founders were divided between which types of military and law enforcement that the new nation would have, and the type of training and doctrine these armed forces should have.
As a compromise, military and law enforcement are separated with the very exception of the Zootopia Human Hunters, which would also act as the nation's intelligence service and elite military branch, and have controll over Weapons of Mass Destruction.

During the Korean and Vietnam wars, and the NATNWO takeover of Laos, the ZHH spearheaded the invasions, with the first one being led by World War 2 era veterans.

During this time, before conflict even breaks out, ZHH intelligence would collect information about what powerful people are up to, what is going on in areas of the world, and plan actions.


After Zootopia was annexed, ZHH units in the state were re-branded as the "Zootopia State Shocktroopers Force".

However, many ZHH members decided to leave the agency and get involved in militant actions of attacking the United States government and collectively punish Americans to try to get them to oppose their government's actions, along with going after and punishing any animal abusers that former ZHH members could find.
However, these actions simply escalated violence, and did more harm to the Zootopian sovereignty movement than good.

Sometime in the 2020's, several years after Zootopia regained independence, the ZHH was finally disbanded after a NATNWO court order publically declaring it a criminal entity and forcing Zootopia to disband it, the ZHH's rain of terror finally ended, but their infamous legacy lived for generations to come.

As for ZHH veterans, even though many were not necessarily evil, they are practically brainwashed into believing in using violence to solve problems, and emotional imbalance from being conditioned into mainly feeling dark emotions.

Trivia:

. I consider the ZHHF to be an anti-villain organisation (if you're curious about what an anti-villain is, read the TV Tropes article on the topic). This is becuase, while I consider it good that the ZHHF opposes fundamentalism & the New World Order, it is militantly anti-theist, culturally chauvinistic (believing that Zootopian culture is better than virtually every other culture in the world), & does not belive in following it's country's laws or the laws set by the Nations Against The New World Order.

. The ZHHF developed three of its own signature camouflage patterns that, under Zootopian law, no non-member individual can possess nor can any other organisation obtain (with the sole exception of specifically authorised individuals working with the ZHHF), all in tiger stripe: "Mean Green" (which has black stripes on a rifle green background, intended for use in green areas), "Sandstorm" (which has maroon stripes on a khaki background, intended for sandy or arid areas), and "Cold Blood" (which has black stripes on a white background).
The only good camouflage pattern was "Sandstorm", which is why ZHHF members going on vital missions are permitted to use other camouflage designs.

. The ZHHF's restrictions on who can wear their uniforms is similar to the real-world United States Marine Corps policies about non-marines wearing USMC uniforms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniforms_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps#Wear_by_Navy_personnel), except that the ZHHF's policy is more situation specific.

. The ZHHF is responsible for doing asset repossessions on behalf of Zootopian entities, especially with ships that are outside of the country.

. The intentionally discriminating effects of "Invincible" is similar to real-world race-specific bioweapons developed by Israel.


. Disease and mind control experimentation on humans is similar to how the U.S. government (among others, such as Imperial Japan's Unit 731) has done, with the Tuskegee syphilis experimentGuatemala syphilis experiment, and Fort Detrick experiments for disease-related experimentation, and Project MKUltra when it comes to mind control.


. The disease "Invincible" and how it affects humans but not animals is similar to the nerve gas depicted in the James Bond film Moonraker. In the film, a man by the name of Hugo Drax creates nerve gas that kills humans, but not animals, with the plan being that himself and his "master race" will go into a space station, poison earth with the gas, and once it's safe to come back to earth, repopulate the planet with his "master race".
The disease "invincible" causes a slower and, at least arguably, nastier death than the Moonraker nerve gas, but can reproduce and spread on its own, so massive amounts of the substance aren't as nessasary, and may be somewhat more realistic as it is a biological weapon that discriminates by DNA as opposed to a chemical weapon with an unexplained way of discriminating by species.

. The Fire, Crosshairs, and Skull and Crossbones are analogous to the real-world United States Marine Corps' Eagle, Globe and Anchor (no offense to actual U.S. Marines or anyone who knows a Marine).

State alternate history: Libertopia state law enforcement agencies, along with private security-patrol, private investigations & bounty hunting

The OOCE is an anti-corruption agency, elite investigative, and law enforcement agency (almost like the Texas Rangers), in that order. They are the official watchdog for public officials and high ranking government agents, regularly auditing the government and government agencies, and literally tracks every single cent that comes into contact with the government, government agencies, public officials, and high ranking government agents.
OOCE officers must have at least a doctoral degree in federal constitutional law and must also study state law before even being accepted into training.
SWAT Team 6 is the Special Weapons And Tactics arm of the OOCE. While SWATT 6 agents aren’t OOCE officers, SWATT 6 is under full control of the OOCE, and SWATT 6 agents must undergo training that is similar to what US Army Delta Force, USMC Force Recon and Marine Raiders Regiment and US Navy SEALS go through (except that, for agents who aren't divers, their training is less water based). SWATT 6 are also generally the first state law enforcement agency to get money and new equipment.

Essentially, Constitution Enforcement officers more intellectually based and are more like investigators, whereas SWATT 6 agents are adapted for combat and crime fighting.

Work uniforms:
SWATT 6: combat fatigues various forms of camouflage depending on the environment (such as charcoal gray with black tiger stripes for urban areas).
OOCE: no formal uniforms (though there is a dress code that regulates clothing to "appropriate" situations, such as casual dull and dark colored clothing for most missions).

Trivia:
. The Office Of Constitution Enforcement can be said to be similar to the real life Office of Inspector General (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Inspector_General_(United_States)), except that it regulates all state level government agencies and does audits for all governments and government agencies from the state level down, along with ensuring that constitutional law is enforced, from making sure that the governor (or other politicians from the state level down) is not associated with any special interests right down to making sure that state-funded charter school teachers don't make or enforce any dresscode.


Badge image:

Libertopia State Troopers division (LST):
The LST are the largest law state level law enforcement agency, and is the backbone of Libertopia state's law enforcement and enforcement arm of the Department of Public Safety.
It is mainly tasked with patrolling the state's borders, highways, waterways, state properties, and areas where local governments feel that are under policed, in that order.

The LST also runs the state's air and water units, called the "Air Force" and "Marine Corps" respectively (while the former uses though the latter actually uses United States Navy ranks), and are respectively responsible for carrying out missions in air and water for the Emergency Service Unit and other state law enforcement agencies.
The LST even has their own Emergency Service Unit (ESU).

Work uniforms: usually brown combat fatigues, but may also wear camouflage in times of crisis.


Badge image:

Libertopia State Department Of Corrections, Community Supervision & Rehabilitation (DOCCSAR):
Libertopia DOCCSAR is the state's Department of Corrections.

Trivia:
. Libertopia DOCCSAR's unoffical song is Sabaton's "Out of Control".


Badge image:

Libertopia Family & Youth Services Police (L-FAYS Police):

The L-FAYS Police is the armed enforcement wing of the Libertopia State Family & Youth services, made up of highly trained & strictly vetted personnel, with officers acting as part cop, part social worker. Their job is to go to cases of suspected child abuse, & to enforce court orders involving children.




Badge image:

Libertopia Animal  & Wildlife Services Police:
The law enforcement arm of Libertopia Animal And Wildlife services, which regulates the handling and interaction of animals and wildlife within the state of Libertopia.
A few examples of this are the regulating of fishing and hunting, regulating the ownership and possession and transport of animals, regulating agriculture involving animals, and so on and so forth.


Work uniforms: rifle green combat fatigues, though camouflage is used in some cases (especially when serving warrants). If you have any suggestions &/or questions, please feel free to comment below.

Local:

County and city governments have Sheriff's offices and Police departments like the most of the United States of America. 
Constable's offices are responsible for enforcing civil decisions.
Marshall's offices act as the enforcement arm for courts. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional information:

It is constitutionally mandated that all chief law enforcement officers who work for governments be elected. For one to become a law enforcement officer, they must swear to unconditionally follow both state and federal constitutions.

In 2016, immediately after the election of Hillary Rodham Clinton as president and Joseph Isadore Lieberman as vice-president, fearing the worst of the worst, the Libertopia State Department of Public Safety passed Regulation 11/9/2016.

The Regulation dropped the age of 21 to 18 to enter the police academy.
The age requirement to be a security agent, previously being 21 years old, was removed.
Both were done to increase the number of law enforcement and security personnel to cope with expected upcoming chaos.

The regulation also required that all handguns carried by security-patrol agents while on-duty to be chambered for calibers no less than .380 caliber for semi-automatic pistols or .38 caliber for revolvers, unless the cartridge the handgun is chambered for is chambered for a centerfire bottlenecked cartidge. Rifles possessed by security-patrol agents while on duty (including in vehicles and/or buildings) must also be able to generate at least 460 foot pounds.

This was to try to get private security-patrol agents to carry adequate weapons while on-duty.

And lastly, the regulation regulated the predominant colors that state and local law enforcement uniforms and vehicles may be in.

All law enforcement work uniforms (uniforms worn on active duty) may only come in the colors of brown, green, gray, black, blue, and/or camouflage.
This was done to make law enforcement uniforms be dull in color and give slightly better concealment to their wearers.

All law enforcement vehicles in the state, by January the 19th, must predominantly be in the colors of black, darker shades of brown, dark shades of blue, and/or charcoal gray.
This was done to make vehicles less conspicuous, and thus, make it easier for agents to sneak up on suspects.
