Democratic Republic of Leasath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leasath (IPA: [leɪsæθ]) is a fictional country from the game Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. It seems to also share similarities to North Korea, especially in its relationship to the Federal Republic of Aurelia. After going through years of civil war, Leasath is now led by Commanding Officer Diego Gaspar Navarro. Navarro is an arms dealer who has profited immensely through the years of war and declares war with Aurelia under false pretenses to continue that profit. As a country, however, Leasath has a high amount of poverty due to the years of civil war. During the war, Aurelia provided Leasath with food and money; however, Navarro spent these resources on weapons and armament to increase his own wealth.
Leasath's special weapons include the massive air fortress Gleipnir and its derivative fighter, the Fenrir.

[edit] Geography
[edit] Physical Geography
Leasath is on the Southern Osean Continent, bordered to the east by the Spring Sea and to the south by Aurelia. Leasath has a temperate climate near the Aurelian isthmus, and a semiarid climate on its southeastern islands.
[edit] Human Geography
Leasath is similar to North Korea both geographically and in its political relationship with its southern neighbor. Aurelia provided Leasath with large amounts of financial aid during and after its civil war. Despite this generosity, most of Leasath still holds animosity towards Aurelia due to state-sponsored propaganda. Even after years of civil war, Leasath united under Diego Navarro and the hatred towards Aurelia that his regime inspired.

[edit] Alect Squadron
Alect Squadron is an elite unit in the Leasath Air Force made up of 6 pilots. During the Aurelian conflict, they flew S-32s, prototypes of the Su-47 Firkin. After the war officially ended, Alect Squadron flew the Fenrir.
[edit] Navy
Leasath's navy uses relatively outdated classes of ships, almost all of which saw action in the Continental War, 16 years before the conflict with Aurelia. This is probably due to the fact that Leasath is not a world power and is recovering from a large civil war. The nations does, however, deploy massive amounts of vessels.
