Proper Name: The Johnified States of America

• Brief History

Founded July 2003 by the great "John", the Johnified States of America has been a rare participant in international affairs, only coming into the international spotlight when absolutely required. After the JSA Civil war in which The Confederacy of Johnified States, whhich was about to be defeated, detonated a large number of tactical nuclear weapons within thier own territory, destroyed thousands of troops and vehicles, The Johnified States of America signed a peace treaty granting the Confederacy it's independence. Since the war The JSA has rebuilt and is more powerful than ever, although a colony, Johnified Antarctica, became lost in the winter of 2005 to severe weather, to the pleasant suprise of President John, the Confederacy of Johnified States collapsed economically and was easily absorbed into Johnified America more than making up for the disatrous loss of the small 10 acre colony and 4,000 colonists at the South Pole. In 2006, in order to solidify funding through The Phoenix Milita's military asistance program, the flag of Johnified America was changed to the former flag of Johnified States, which was a Phoenix Protectorate before it was dissolved.

Member of the Mutal Regional Defense Pact (JSA Pact)

• Military

The military, its personnel and its equipment, are the pride of the JSA. Many children are raised from birth knowing that they will be soldiers once they mature. Although throughout the years of the Civil War and before, the JSA used surplus and upgraded US Military equipment such as the M-1A3 Tank, A-10 attack aircraft, M113 APC, much of which was bought from Tyrador, The JSA now uses the latest high-tech military hardware such as the classifed Talon Tank which is now its main battle tank and the Phoenix II which is the primary Multi-Role Fighter. The Navy uses a mix of upgraded US Navy-type ships and regionaly bought higher-end ships.

While the JSA Infantry used the AR-22(a .450 caliber battle rifle built for JSA forces under contract from Phoenix Dynamix when the JSA was just starting out ) for many years, transistion to a new 6.66mm assault rifle has begun. Called simply the "JSA Assault Rifle" it is a suprisingly simple design and although more than one variant exists, the primary rifle usually has an attached sling and bayonet as the only accessories, although the top of the intergral iron sight contains a sheathed rail interface system compatibile with the latest optics and versions with underbarrel weapons have been seen. The weapons seem to be shaped to perfectly interface with the JSA ballistic combat facemask at multiple angles, a feature the AR-22's lack. The 6.66mm round is also lighter and thus more can be carried, and the weapon itself is lighter, reducing fatigue. The JSA ballstic combat facemask has undergone a recent evolution, allowing for easier use of night vision goggles and NBC gear, and taking on what the designers call a "meaner" look. Kevlar threaded cotton BDU's have become standard issue, while these uniforms can't stop most rifle rounds, they can slow most pistol calibers enough to prevent a cripplin wound and are quite effective at defeating medium speed shrapnel. Of course for high speed shrapnel, and although they have breatheable "ports" troughout, they qualify as a Level 3 NBC suit when sealed. "Dragon Skin" Body Armor worn over the BDU can offer chest, abdomen, shoulder, back and groin protection from up to 7.62x51mm Full Metal Jacketed rounds and high speed shrapnel. Load bearing equipment can easily fit over the Dragon Skin vest. Boots, shin guards, knee and elbow pads are armored as well. The boots offer protection from some types of land mines, turning would would have to be a permanent amputation into a compound fracture at worst. While the boots are heavier than leather (and much more expensisve due to liberal use of spectra fiber), they are still flexible and breatheable enough to be comfortable and ceramic plates can be removed. The shin guards, knee and elbow pads can stop a 6.66mm round. To completely dress a JSA Infantryman, without taking into consideration weapons or training, costs well over $15,000
