International Wizarding Protectorate

International Wizarding Protectorate
The International Wizarding Protectorate ( Protectorate) came into being in 2005 with the signing of the First Protectorate Treaty by the " Original Three ( Russia, The United Kingdom, and France)" over the years, more countres joined until the Protectorate spanned all of northern Eurasia as well as the middle east and much of northern Africa. The Protectorate has the most territory of all three factions under its control, which is both its weakness and strength. On one hand, it is so vast that conquering it is no small task, on the other, their forces are spread so thinly that they are forced to play defence while the Brotherhood of Zure and the Death Eaters can pick and choose where to fight.

History
The wizarding world at large saw the need for a multinational coalition against Dark Magic Terrorism in Europe after the devastating English Wizarding Civil War. The First Protectorate Treaty was signed on December 12 2005 by the auror offices of Russia, The United Kingdom, and France. Its goal was to curtail and counteract the forces of Dark Magic and Magical Terrorism internationally. The International Wizengamot formally declared that the Protectorate was its military arm in 2008 and most of the European countries such as Germany and Ukraine joined in that year. The Second Protectorate Treaty was signed in 2013 and stated that if one or more of the countries in the Protectorate was attacked, all would come to their aid. In 2015 the USA, while refusing to ratify the Protectorate Treaties, was admitted as a observer state. This began the tensions between Zure and the Protectorate. As more Countries joined the Protectorate, the more tensions built up in the wizarding world. As the light of Zure's technological supremacy came into light, the Protectorate began its own research into muggle military weapons and devised its own muggle tech based weapons such as the " Dominator Tank " and " Dragon Fighter Jet" but they still remained far behind Zure in technological development. They also cleared the use of the Unforgivable Curses in the case of War between the three factions. In 2015 The Third Protectorate Treaty was signed and stated that the Protectorate would take a no tolerance stance toward any Zure or Death Eater expansion attempts. This furthered the divide between the three factions. In 2019 the Protectorate began operations against both Zure and Death Eater resistance pockets in Europe and Russia. In Retaliation, Zure bombed Gringotts and the Death Eaters slaughtered innocents in Kazakhstan. In 2020, The Brotherhood of Zure and The Death Eaters both declared war on both the Protectorate and each other starting the Global Wizarding War. The Protectorate eventually lost its small presence in North America and in China. As the war intensified the Protectorate was struck another blow by Zure when they used muggle mass communication to reveal the Wizarding World to the Muggles and the war took on a new twist as Muggles became vital to both the Protectorate and Zure, The Death Eaters on the other hand, took it upon themselves to enslave and mass murder muggles in the territories they occupied.

Tactics
The Protectorate uses shock and awe as well as mass numbers to win battles. They have the largest army both including the Muggle Armies of Russia and Europe as well as that of West India but have their forces spread very thin, forcing them to protect the territories they already have. The Protectorate, like Zure, is willing to use muggle weapons but is more prone to rely on cooperation between the Muggle militaries of Europe and Russia as well as their Auror Forces. They have modified existing muggle weaponry with magic to enhance said weapons capability. They, like Zure, use Spell infusion on explosives and other weapons. They also have their own Nuclear Arsenal as they occupy Russia and the UK as well as France. In early 2023, the Russian Nuclear Arsenal was sabotaged and all their underground nukes were detonated in their silos by a Zure loyalist by the name of Ankundinov. Still they had signifigant nuclear deterrent to keep Zure from nuking their Cities and later that year would devise a HARRP like device that was magically enhanced to create weather anomolies over targeted areas. The Protectorate has some of the best armored vehicles but they are not as verstile as their Zure and Death Eater counterparts and thus use Mass numbers to overwealm their enemies.

Ideology
The Protectorate is designed to uphold international wizarding law. The First Protectorate Treaty outlines its goals and duties in the world. It was formed to uphold the laws of the international wizengamot as well as fight to protect it.
