If the land is flat, then there is no infrastructure; you guys never even got CLOSE to the democratic republic, since every push from the beginning was unsupplied and vulnerable to attacks. Plains, believe it or not, are still usable for guerilla warfare. Guerillas hide in tall grass and distant treelines (since no plains is truly completely flat), with well-entrenched positions. The DRE is proud to be a traitor; all in the DRE know they will die if they join Elevia, since they are mostly non-human. Another thing; according to YOUR map, this area is forest, and is urbanized; it has a city in it!!
