Green Nation

From Army Men Wiki

The Green Nation flag
The Green Nation is the homeland of the protagonists, and is the main nation that General Plastro and his Tan Republic are at war with. The Green Nation appears to be a relatively peaceful and friendly country, despite the fact that it does have a rather extensive military. The Green Nation seems to be based off of Western European countries and the United States, as indicated by the accents and weaponry deployed by the Green Army. The Green Nation also appears to be a democratic state, as it has a President, who is only shown in Army Men: Air Tactics.

[edit] Army

The Green National Army is relatively small when compared to the Tan Republican Army (The ratio is 50:1 against), and appears to be very susceptible to raids and ambushes, as this is how the Tan Army appears to operate. However, on an open battlefield, the smaller army seems to openly prove its might and beat back the Tan menace time and time again. The Green Army is well-rounded, and utilizes traditional weaponry, destaining from cannibalizing anything from the Real World. One of the main objectives of the Green Army is to destroy every known portal and sever ties with the Real World forever. The Green Army is led by Colonel Grimm, who, despite his title, appears to be a General based upon his clothing and demeanor. In Sarge's Heroes, Vikki Grimm states that the Green Army is the head of an alliance of nations against the Tan Nation, although the other nations are never mentioned. Despite their numerical setbacks, the Green Army has some things going for it. For example, the Green Army has the elite Bravo Company, led by decorated war veteran Sarge Hawk. The second advantage that the Green Army has is technological superiority, as shown in the Omega Program and the invention of the Air Cavalry. The majority of the Green Army was assembled at the peace treaty signing in Army Men: Sarge's War, and apparently met its firey demise by a bomb hidden in the Peace statue, courtesy of Operation Vengeance. However, it is unknown if heroes such as the Omega Soldier or Captain William Blade were present.

[edit] Geography

The geography of the entire Plastic World is unclear. However, many speculate that the Green Nation is an island nation with a series of mountains to the north, a vast desert to the west, and a series of swamps and bayous to the south. This geography would correspond with the basic geography of the United States. One map is presented in the introduction of Army Men, which depicts the Green and Tan nations as adjacent to each other and landlocked. However, in Army Men II, the two nations are divided by water, with a massive island between them. In Sarge's Heroes II, a map of what appears to be an island is behind Sarge. This map is believed to be a representation of the newest incarnation of Green.
