The Elected Regency of Nag Ehgoeg is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of over 6.5 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
+
The Elected Regency of Nag Ehgoeg is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of over 10 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
  
−
The large, liberal government devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
+
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and the Environment. Citizens pay an average income tax of 20%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry - led by ACO, Nag Ehgoeg's leading company - but the Uranium Mining and Gambling industries are also important.
  
−
Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and cities are engulfed by smog. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nag Ehgoeg's national animal is the Royal Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the LC.
+
Catholic protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Not to mention the fact that the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and all recreational drugs are legal. Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages (including English, Latin, Russian, and at least one Turkic language (usually Uzbek)), Nag Ehgoeg's airwaves are dominated by corporate-backed commercial radio, and the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly.

===Prologue===
+
[[History of Nag Ehgoeg]].
  
−
For seventy long years I have laboured, as Master Cripias did before me and Master Seldon before him throughout an untold number of generations of the Keepers of the Library Sanctus of Syntha Prime. It has been our endeavour, our lives long aim, to compile a history of the majesty of the Pre-Regency history of Nag Ehgoeg. However it is I who have been granted the singular and great honour and pleasure of completing the task in my own life span.
+
==Other Information==
  
−
Nag Ehgoeg is reckoned by the scholars of the UN to be among the oldest civilisations in the world. While I can not vouch for the validity of the currant data, it is estimated that Nag Ehgoeg is the 59th largest nation in the world, though certainly this does not make it the 59th oldest as will be discussed later.
+
===National Anthem===
  
−
The origins of Nag Ehgoeg are shrouded in secrecy however recently declassified military documents shed some light on the formation of Our Great Nation. In the interests of maintaining a referable time frame all dates will be of the Common Era (that is to say Anno Domini) and written in Imperial Standard. Rather than take a local time frame the Maxtopian Theoretical unit of time, the “RL”, will be used. The World is reckoned to have existed for a little over 3 RL “Years”. The currant date using the RL system in Imperial Standard form is (0) 953 005 M3, and the estimated formation of the world as we know it would thus be (1) 871 002 M3.
+
Currently, Nag Ehgoeg does not have a national anthem. The hymn "My Jesus, My Saviour" has been adapted to temporarily serve as an expression of National Pride. Many citizens, however, either adopt the [[History_of_Nag_Ehgoeg#Chapter_the_Second_.E2.80.93_Freedom.2C_Unity.2C_Peace|old anthem]] or adapt traditional Turkic songs.
  
−
Throughout copious notes and petitions of relevant governments a sketchy history of times past has been reconstructed. Here I have revealed my findings for the first time, for as it was in the time of the First Keeper, Solomon, our knowledge has been past by oratory and the hearsay of conspiracy theorists. However in this enlightened time the truth can finally emerge, like a butterfly emerging from the chrysalis of a Dark Age of Historical Knowledge.
+
===Constitution===
  
−
===Chapter The First - The Massassi Jungle===
+
In practice the rights of Nagian citizens are unwritten, however a short and rather ‘open’ written document does exist:
  
−
It is known that Nag Ehgoeg was founded on (0) 940 002 M3 but five million of “the best and brightest”. What is unknown is why Nag Ehgoeg was founded, where we where founded, and who founded us – that is to say where these five million originated from.
+
# There is no law beyond "Do what thou wilt!"
 +
# Love is the law, love under will.
 +
# Let all be held accountable for their actions. Let every action have its reaction.
 +
# All are free so long as do not impose on the freedom of others.
 +
# An action born of malice for the sake of malice is to be reviled and carries consequences!

One written record from approximately (9) 350 003 M3 details the history of Nag Ehgoeg in a welcome booklet, presumably for use by tourists:
+
===Key Civil Rights===
  
−
:<code>Nag Ehgoeg was founded as part of a UN-NATO pogrom to create a Middle Eastern :nation friendly to Western governments.</code>
+
While Nag Ehgoeg’s written constitution is scarce, the unwritten constitution of Nag Ehgoeg is extensive. A full list of Citizens Rights would be almost impossible to document, however some of the key elements of Nagian Life are shown below:
  
−
:<code>An island, in the shape of a half sphere, was created off the sunny Orlando shores that was made entirely of a lighter than water, plastic polymer. Atop this island a mighty city of 15 story skyscrapers called Enclaves where constructed, arranged in a circular pattern around a central airstrip. These Enclaves where networked to each other to ensure that each one could operate independently providing housing, renewable power (as so not to be dependent on foreign oil rather than for environmental concerns), a work place, storage and amenities but also tighter as a great whole. Also a secrete bunker was said to exist in the island, though this has always remained unconfirmed by third party sources.</code>
+
*'''Suffrage:''' 16 years of age; universal. Elections are held every 5 years on April 30th. The Regent is decided by popular vote, though each Nagian State has a branch of elected local government.
  
−
:<code>The island was dubbed The UNATCO Synthetic City Alpha-Prime, later renamed to Syntha Prime on the whims of the presiding American president on the grounds of “its so darn hard to say! Can’t we just give it a flashy sci-fi name?”</code>
+
*'''Age of Majority: ''' 16. At the age of 16 a Nagian citizen is considered to be an adult for all lawful purposes. Nagian adults are free to drive motor vehicles, consume alcohol, smoke, have sexual intercourse and take certain approved recreational drugs. In essence, 16 is the only ‘age limit’ in Nag Ehgoeg.
  
−
:<code>The President also wanted the city to be airlifted and dropped “right on Saddam’s ugly head!” A massive debate ensued as to how best deploy the city in the Middle East. The French Premier wanted to ask politely, the German wanted to cripple the Middle Easten economy to force them to sell land, the English wanted tea and the Americans stood stubbornly by using the city as a giant bomb. In the end it was a wealth private citizen that broke the deadlock.</code>
+
*'''Right To Naturalism:''' Nagian citizens are not required to wear clothing, though many choose to, both in public and private locations. Minors have the right to wear clothes, however their Right to Naturalism is governed by their parents.
  
−
:<code>This man anonymously contacted the American Embassy in the UK under the alias Werdna Nagehgoeg (a cipher the FBI are still working on to decipher to this very day) saying that he had heard of the project and had already purchased a large swath of land in the middle east and preformed terraforming experiments (learned from the scientific masters of the Massassi Jungle) on it to turn it into a verdant haven – a rainforest in the middle of the middle east. The person spoke with a deep voice, a British accent and used proper words (as opposed to Americanisms and US spellings, which he termed American orientated colloquial slang) of over 3 syllables however his dislike of tea stopped not only the Americans but the entire world from discerning his nationality.</code>
+
*'''Right To Bodily Freedom:''' The government of Nag Ehgoeg recognises that from birth to death a citizens body is there to do what they will with it. Thus it is taken as a given that citizens have the right to modify their body (both physically and with chemicals) in any way they so choose. ''However'' free public health care is dependent on the citizen taking certain steps to keep themselves healthy. Notably Nag Ehgoeg does ''not'' grant any rights to unborn children unless they could survive on their own out of the womb without intensive medical support. Also the Government claims the bodies of the deceased as government property.
  
−
:<code>So it was the Syntha Prime was domed (aside for the airstrip) filled with 5 million of the First world’s bravest, best and brightest (numbering 3 French men and only 1 American) and the city was airlifted by a fleet of American choppers and dumped in Mr Nagehgoeg’s land (the Americans considered the mission a failure as no-one was killed – not even by friendly fire).</code>
+
*'''Retirement Age:''' Citizens of Nag Ehgoeg are free to retire at the age of 60. However, as state pensions are so unbelievably pitiful, most citizens work into their late eighties.
  
−
:<code>The city was founded on the principles of Capitalism, Military might, fair trade, democracy, law and order and personal freedom.</code>
+
*'''Right To Service:''' The “Right” to Service is somewhat misleading. All citizens between the ages of 16 and 30 must enlist in the Nagian Defence Force for no less than one year. Most take this opportunity to train as military engineers or medical staff.
  
−
:<code>All went well until the tripartite disaster. The Enclaves and even the domes where :over there max capacity all too soon, leaving many homeless and the streets crowded. This would have been bearable if the brief UN-NATO alliance fell apart under international pressures, the project officially dissolved the citizens of Syntha Prime where unable to economically support them as they realised that capitalism and fair trade where mutually exclusive. Choosing Socialism as the way forward the government blew its budget on tearing down the protective dome and preceded to raise taxes – crushing the weakened economy further. This lead to the abandonment of the military and while citizens must still have compulsory training Nag Ehgoeg has not had a standing military ever since. Yes, Nag Ehgoeg, for in tearing down the dome and expanding into Mr Nagehgoeg’s land they took his name as the name of this new, anti-west nation.</code>
+
*'''Right To Education:''' All citizens of Nag Ehgoeg below the retirement age are entitled to free education provided by the state up to the Doctorate level. Citizens about the age of 60 are still entitled to free education up to basic University Degree Level (i.e. Not a Masters or Doctorate Degree). All citizens '''must''' receive no less than 10 years of education and must start schooling between the ages of 4 and 8. Most commonly children are enrolled at the age of six.
  
−
:<code>Naturally many changes then took place over the following years, many of them irrelevant. But what is important follows:</code>
+
===Religious Break Down===
  
−
:*<code>Sytha Prime was expanded. Many industrial Enclaves where converted into living space and shantytowns formed. Sytha Prime still accounts for over 50% of Nag Ehgoeg’s population to this day.</code>
+
Officially Nag Ehgoeg recognises 3 faiths: Catholicism, Satanism and Agnosticism. However independent surveys indicated that Nag Ehgoeg has the following religious demographic:
  
−
:*<code>Towns where formed, previously while situated on a great deal of land very little of it was used, and with no way to police its boarders after the fall of the UNNATCO the jungles had become inhabited by native people. The City folk and the Natives (terms originally used as a joke) blended to become Nagians.</code>
+
*Christian: 25%
 +
:*Catholic: 18%
 +
:*Orthodox: 6%
 +
:*Other: 1%
 +
*Muslim: 23%
 +
*Agnostic: 20%
 +
*Atheist: 18%
 +
*Satanist: 8%
 +
*Judaism: 3%
 +
*Wicca/New Age: 2%
 +
*Other: 1%
  
−
:*<code>A second city was founded under the principles of capitalism leading to the two-tier society Greater Nag Ehgoeg now has.</code>
+
===Ethnic Breakdown===
  
−
:*<code>Many alliances where also founded as Nag Ehgoeg became a hot tourist site – many where attracted by the lovely landscapes, the fact we all speak the major European and American languages, and of course the legal gambling, drug use and prostitution.</code>
+
Nag Ehgoeg is racially diverse, with a disproportionate number of mixed race citizens. As such, citizens tend to aquire cultural identity from the Sector in which they were raised, rather than from the teachings of their ancestors. However, a rough demographic would look something like this:
  
−
:*<code>Nag Ehgoeg’s lack of an army and military concerns has also made it a premier place for negotiations.</code>
+
*Turkic: 35%
 +
:*Turkmen: 13%
 +
:*Uzbeki: 12%
 +
:*Kazakh: 7%
 +
:*Other: 3%
 +
*Caucasian/White (inc. Russian): 30%
 +
*Afro-caribbean/Black: 22%
 +
*Asian/Non-Turkic: 12%
 +
*Other (primarily Latino/Hispanic): 1%
  
−
:<code>So come visit the nation founded by greed and ruled by brotherhood.</code>
+
===Crime and Punishment===
  
−
:<code>Welcome to Nag Ehgoeg, enjoy your stay.</code>
+
Crime in Nag Ehgoeg is virtually non-existent, eliminating the need for a conventional prison system. Every public place is recorded by security cameras. However this system is fully automated, and thus not monitored in real time, but rather a request must be made to a Judge in order to get permission to view the tape.
  
−
Needless to say that one (long out of date) leaflet does not make for a complete history. However what is known for sure is that the founding Father of Nag Ehgoeg was one “We rDNA Nag Ehgoeg”. No record of this individual exists in any historical achieve and the name has long believed to be a pseudonym. The most obvious decoding would be to remove the spacing and reverse the spelling to get “andrewgeoghegan”. While Andrew is a common name, the letters after it are somewhat unusual. “Geoghegan”, somewhat remarkably, is a real surname however. Old Irish in origin, Geoghegan’s of our time include the famous English jewellery designer and Nag Ehgoeg’s late pop singer.
+
Criminals in Nag Ehgoeg are almost universally treated by a course of operant conditioning (brain washing). For minor crimes, such as shop lifting, this usually takes place along side counselling. For major crimes, however, the citizens civil rights are suspended and the conditioning is far more… ''intensive''. Rehabilitated murderers often end the six month conditioning period envying their victim.
  
−
However historian’s agree that We rDNA Nag Ehgoeg possessed great wealth, and just why an Irish man of great wealth would found Nag Ehgoeg is somewhat of a puzzle. Thus it is widely accepted that We rDNA Nag Ehgoeg holds some wider significance – possibly an acronym for a coalition of nations or businesses.
+
====Trial====
  
−
Early Nag Ehgoeg consisted of what is now known as Syntha Prime (the nations capital). A “super city” built to house a hundred times the founding population – then thought to be in far surplus to what the colonists would ever need.
+
Nagian citizens are innocent until proven guilty. As such, accused criminals have the right to be tried after no less than 30 days after arrest, regardless of their crime. In practice crime is so rare that next day trails are the norm.
  
−
In these founding days, the nation was the city and the city was complete. From the tallest tower block to the deepest foundations and sewer systems the entire city was portable. It is believed that Nag Ehgoeg was assembled in the waters of the Pacific – lending credence to the theories that the name of the founder comes from a coalition of (American) businesses – before immediately being shipped to a location known as “[[Massassi Jungle]]”.
+
A Nagian jury consists of 21 members: 3 are chosen by the defendant; 3 are chosen by the prosecution; and the remaining 15 are chosen at random from the populace.
  
−
The nature of this “Jungle” is questionable, as is its very existence and location. Some believe the Junge to simply be an international community, the sharing of ideas and so forth. Others believe it to be located within the Amazon rainforest and consist of a number of intellectual nations. Still others suggest parallel planes of existence.
+
Every crime in Nag Ehgoeg is settled by trial by jury and requires a majority of 16 of the jurors to reach a concordance on a verdict.
  
−
What is known is that from the Jungle forces where stirred in Europe. A number of nations residing in this Jungle, to which only three survive to this day, incited Europe’s Pope Jamie I to found a nation from Vatican City. This nation was [[Catholic Europe]], though it was not long before southern expansion took CE into the [[Middle East]].
+
The “contamination” of the jury by “professional” jurors has been criticized by the international community and so has allowing the defendant to select jurors – especially in cases relating to organised or gang crime. However prosecution jurors are closely reviewed and defendant plants who try to sway the jury by dubious means often find themselves swiftly put on trial.
  
−
(The exact date to the founding of Catholic Europe and its move to the Middle East is unknown to me, though finding the information is surely not difficult for those interested in such matters.)
+
====Crime?====
  
−
This took those in Nag Ehgoeg by surprise, as it was widely expected that the Pope would turn his attentions to the Jungle. By this time the Elected Regency of Nag Ehgoeg had been established and Andreas Malfisto Emmanulas had begun his Eternal Reign. It is also known that “The Time of Love” had already come.
+
Notably many things are legal in Nag Ehgoeg that are not legal elsewhere. These include:
  
−
(NB: “The Time of Love” refers to the time period of one RL day in which the birth rate in Nag Ehgoeg was double the norm. Additionally the Elected Regent Andreas Malfisto Emmanulas maintains his rule to this day, having seen countless leaders of other nations grow to old age and die. The Malfisto and Emmanulas families of Nag Ehgoeg exist in secrecy and will be discussed later, however suffice to say for the moment that some believe that the identity of the Regent is hereditary while others believe the Regent undergoes some form of longevity process.)
+
*Conspiracy to commit a crime: It is perfectly legal to speculate on breaking the law, even to plan detailed acts of terrorist, murder or embezzlement.
  
−
Furthermore it is known that Nag Ehgoeg’s military had officially severed themselves from the main body of Nag Ehgoeg. At this time Nag Ehgoeg was something of an economic powerhouse with a reasonable armed forces and compulsory military service. Then the military declared themselves a separate state, known as “The People’s Republic of Dictatorship N Strife”. This name was taken in mockery of the leading sociologists of the time who believed that military rule would lead to ignorance and oppression, as DnS enjoyed the high education budget and civil and political freedoms of Nag Ehgoeg at this point. DnS rapidly became a very different nation to Nag Ehgoeg, and came to oppose Us politically.
+
*Prostitution and recreational drug use: Again, both legal in Nag Ehgoeg, however an individual partaking in such acts is required to register with the government and may find their free health care revoked.
  
−
Freed from the “Hawk” elements of government the “Doves” remaining in Nag Ehgoeg made personal freedom a top priority, and recognising the value of the environment, moved to disarm and conserve.
+
*Inciting Crime: It is not a crime to convince others to commit a crime. Everyone is free to make their own choices.
  
−
Striking out on their own, the newly formed DnS quickly moved into the Middle East. The reason for this nation leaving The Jungle is unclear. The leading theory is that Nag Ehgoeg (which at this point was still essentially a portable city) had been created to spread western values into the Middle East and that the distillation of the military aspects of the society had provided a more suitable envoy into hostile terrain.
+
*Virtual Child Pornography: Artificially created digital images that hurt no-one are not criminal. It is, however, illegal to edit the likeness of any citizen to appear naked with their consent (and consent of a parent of guardian if appropriate). Furthermore public nudity is legal in Nag Ehgoeg (though in the case of minors both the child and parent(s)/guardian(s) must consent).
  
−
(At this point the Middle East was wracked by wars, locked in an almost perpetual conflict.)
+
*Suicide: All citizens have a right to life, and the right to revoke their rights. This also included assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia.
  
−
Nag Ehgoeg’s allies in The Massassi Jungle looked to the newly formed Catholic Europe, certainly this was an interesting new nation who was beseeching nations in the Jungle to venture forth into the Middle East.
+
===Historical Governing===
  
−
At this point in time (some point in 003 M3) Nag Ehgoeg was hostile towards DnS, however (seeing the Jungle had begun an intellectual decline) the Regent decided to move the nation to below what was then Egypt.
+
Traditionally, Nag Ehgoeg has been a democracy. However, [[History_of_Nag_Ehgoeg#Chapter_the_Forth_-_Troubles.2C_the_Present|recently]] democracy has been suspended in Nag Ehgoeg. Currently Nag Ehgoeg is ruled by the Regent Supremus alone, with all other institutions being declared void and defunct.  
  
−
===Chapter the Second – Move to the Middle East (West)===
+
Information on democratic Nag Ehgoeg can be found on the [[Nagian Elections]] Page.
  
 +
====Elected Regent====
  
 +
Every ten years, a National Electoral Vote is held. Whomever wins the popular vote becomes the Elected Regent.
  
−
What was going through the Regents mind when the order to move the city came, no-one will ever know. However history speaks for itself. Nag Ehgoeg was peaceful, which meant that it was neutral, a perfect place to house refugees, wounded and negotiations in an area of the world ravaged by war. Additionally the collapse of the nation known as “Elias” had created a political power vacuum which Nag Ehgoeg was there to fill.
+
The Regent weilds total executive and judical power. Though in exceptional circumstances the Regents decisions may be overturned by other elected officals.
 +
=====Regina Optiva/Optivus Rex=====
  
−
The nations of the Middle East where small in size, and from the start Nag Ehgoeg was (and is) the largest to claim residence there. Because of this, and the afore mentioned power vacuum, it was not long before Nag Ehgoeg had established itself as a nation of repute – a fair safe haven. This was acknowledged by a huge support from Untied Nation’s members, though Delegacy was hotly contested leaving almost perpetually Nag Ehgoeg at the number two spot. With the support of other key nations in the Middle East (including other immigrants from the Jungle) it was Nag Ehgoeg who pioneered a revolutionary communication system between nations. Inspired by elements of the Roman Empire evidenced by Catholic Europe, Nag Ehgoeg reintroduced the Forums of old, providing a place for regional communication and historical achieving.
+
The (female/male) spouse of the Regent. Legally joined to the Regent by marriage, the Regina Optiva/Optivus Rex has diplomatic immunity but does not weild executive or judical power.
 +
=====Optivus Procer/Procer Optiva=====
  
−
The history of the achieve deserves its own essay, however suffice to say that communication was both primitive and cumbersome. The achieve survived a purge of censorship from Catholic Europe – believed to be the first childish outburst from this nation and the only time they ever destroyed a statement issued by their government! However, ultimately the records where allowed to be swallowed by the sands of time after Paradise (The Great Founder of the Middle East) erected his own Forums on the encouragement of Nag Ehgoeg (as Our Forums where only ever meant as a temporary dalliance which ultimately detracted from matters of state).
+
A possition equivilent to "Vice President" of other nations. The Optivus Procer is not elected, but chosen by the Regent to serve as the Regent's "second in command". The Regent has the right to choose whomever they please for the possition - as it confers little executive power. The primary duty of the Procer is to take over the duties of the Regent, in the event of the Regent's death, resignation or other miscellaneous incapacity that the Regent might suffer (that would prevent them performing their duty). The Procer is obligated to rule the nation (with The Grand Senate) until an emergency election can take place.
  
 +
====The Grand Senate====
  
−
===Chapter the Forth – Present===
+
Citizens of Nag Ehgoeg are distributed over 8 thousand Administrative Sectors, each consisting of roughly one million citizens in the same geographical region. While the Regent is decided by popular vote, citizens also vote for their Sector Governor every 5 years, the vote taking place along side (but seperate to) the Electoral Vote when appropriate.
  
−
One final move was made to the location of Nag Ehgoeg to its present day location over the nations once known as Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
+
These Sector Governers handle the day-to-day governing of the local populas, but also form the Grand Senate which meets four times a year. The Grand Senate's chief duty is to elect the High Parliment, though they can also call for an "Emergency Vote of No Confidence in the Regent" causing an immediate re-election. A unanimous vote of the Senate may overturn any desicion made by the Regent, and may also take the Nation to war (or end a war) without the Regent's consent.
  
−
Recent changes in politics have seen a re-militarization of Nag Ehgoeg, a building of the economy and major blows to multi-culturlism and the environment. What the future of Nag Ehgoeg holds, on-one knows.
+
The Grand Senate provides an oppertunity for sucessful Governers to share their wisdom with their peers.
  
−
==Other Information==
+
====High Parliment====
  
−
===National Anthem===
+
The High Parliment of Nag Ehgoeg is elected every year by the Senate. The Parliment consists of the 13 "Members Of Parliment": the Governers deemed "most fit to represent the People".
  
−
The National anthem of Nag Ehgoeg is Anton LeVay’s “Hymn of the Satanic Empire a.k.a. 'Battle Hymn of the Apocalypse'”.  
+
As a governing body, the Parliment weilds similar power to the Elected Regent and requires a simple majority vote to counter any desicion made by the Regent.
  
−
:Recht die Drommel! Das Lied von die Satanischer Reich!
+
A unanimous vote of the High Parliment can instate the Regent with "Emergency Powers" allowing for the dissolution of the Senate, Parliment and the Democratic Process until the Regent sees fit. This has never yet been used in the history of Nag Ehgoeg.
−
:Eja! Eja! Alal'!
+
  
−
:Drums out of the darkness, listen well.
+
====Custodian====
−
:Drums beating like thunder straight from Hell.
+
−
:Trumpets are blaring, the time's come 'round -
+
−
:Satan is here to claim His ground!
+
  
−
:Chorus;
+
A new title, relevent to the newly formed Colonies of Nag Ehgoeg. Each colony is divided into Administive Sectors, just like the main land. Local government by Governers is handled the same way, along with membership to the Grand Senate of Nag Ehgoeg. However all of the colony's Governers also form a "Micro Senate" to co-ordinate the colonies affairs. This Senate elects a single leader, much in the same fashion as a Member of Parliment is elected, to represent the Colony. This leader is deemed to be "The Custodian" of the Colony, ruling in the stead of the Regent.
  
−
:There's an earth that's green, there's an earth that's free,
+
In new Nag Ehgoeg, the title of Custodian has been abolished, along with democracy. However, in Swiss Nag Ehgoeg, the title has become synonymous with “Elected Regent” as the legality of rule by Regent Supremus is disputed. Additionally, Swiss Nag Ehgoeg continues to abide by the traditional, democratic, stature of Nagian government.

:There's a place for you and a place for me.

The capital city of Nag Ehgoeg was originally constructed to house 500,000,000 in comfort and luxury. It was designed to be a collection of skyscrapers going deep into the ground, to high in the air. Each building designed to be a self contained city, its residents would need only to take an elevator to get to work, to go shopping or see the doctor.

:"Lex Talionis" is their cry!

:Even though tricksters made the law,
+
−
:Justice is served by fang and claw!
+
  
−
:Chorus:
+
Syntha Prime started off with only the central 5 building filled, and a population of but 1% of its maximum. Today a mass shanty town has formed on the fringes of the city that has ballooned to over five times the population it was built to house.

:Drums out of darkness, listen well.
+
Industrial floors have been converted into purely residential blocks; residential blocks have in turn been demolished to make room for factories. The city grows out into Nag Ehgoeg, and in on itself: the heart of Nag Ehgoeg and its cancer.

===Constitution===
+
Population: c2,000,000
  
−
In practice the rights of Nagian citizens are unwritten, however a short and rather ‘open’ written document does exist:
+
Syntha Prime was built to be Nag Ehgoeg. But all too quickly did the city fill. Haven was initially founded as an outreach village: a small town designed to supply medical supplies to the natives living in what became Nag Ehgoeg.
  
−
# There is no law beyond "Do what thou wilt!"
+
Haven quickly swelled. However, unlike Syntha Prime, its mountainous geography prevented it from swelling to the size of other key Nagian cities. It was the second oldest city of Nag Ehgoeg, and it was founded on the principles of charity. Was it any surprise that Haven would become a bastion for Christianity in what was primarily a firmly atheist nation?
−
# Love is the law, love under will.
+
−
# Let all be held accountable for their actions. Let every action have its reaction.
+
−
# All are free so long as do not impose on the freedom of others.
+
−
# An action born of malice for the sake of malice is to be reviled and carries consequences!
+
  
 +
Used by the elusive Emmanulas family as a retreat, Haven initially maintained an independence from Genesis City. At one point it even provided shelter for the Arch Heretic Bishop Laab and Prince Thomas of New Harumf. However, as Nag Ehgoeg became more tolerant of religion (or “personal philosophy” as most faiths are still recognised as) Haven quickly became a Catholic city, then a symbol of religious freedom.
  
−
===Key Civil Rights===
+
Currently approximately 80% of Haven’s residents are of the Catholic Faith, and Nag Ehgoeg’s Cardinal is based here.
  
−
While Nag Ehgoeg’s written constitution is scarce, the unwritten constitution of Nag Ehgoeg is extensive. A full list of Citizens Rights would be almost impossible to document, however some of the key elements of Nagian Life are shown below:
+
====Iron Glass====
  
−
*'''Suffrage:''' 16 years of age; universal. Elections are held every 5 years on April 30th. The Regent is decided by popular vote, though each Nagian State has a branch of elected local government.
+
[http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ironglass8ib.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4761/ironglass8ib.th.jpg]
  
−
*'''Age of Majority: ''' 16. At the age of 16 a Nagian citizen is considered to be an adult for all lawful purposes. Nagian adults are free to drive motor vehicles, consume alcohol, smoke, have sexual intercourse and take certain approved recreational drugs. In essence, 16 is the only ‘age limit’ in Nag Ehgoeg.
+
Population: c32,000,000
  
−
*'''Right To Naturalism:''' Nagian citizens are not required to wear clothing, though many choose to, both in public and private locations. Minors have the right to wear clothes, however their Right to Naturalism is governed by their parents.
+
Iron Glass the Underhive was the second major Nagian settlement. Built to mirror Syntha Prime, Iron Glass is an even more run down, poorly built hellhole. However, while Nag Ehgoeg’s capital is surrounded by makeshift housing, Iron Glass is surrounded by factories and military bases.
  
−
*'''Right To Bodily Freedom:''' The government of Nag Ehgoeg recognises that from birth to death a citizens body is there to do what they will with it. Thus it is taken as a given that citizens have the right to modify their body (both physically and with chemicals) in any way they so choose. ''However'' free public health care is dependent on the citizen taking certain steps to keep themselves healthy. Notably Nag Ehgoeg does ''not'' grant any rights to unborn children unless they could survive on their own out of the womb without intensive medical support. Also the Government claims the bodies of the deceased as government property.
+
Nag Ehgoeg’s military is primarily based in a number of autonomous facilities in undisclosed locations. However, if Nag Ehgoeg could be said to have a military capital then Iron Glass might well be it.
  
−
*'''Retirement Age:''' Citizens of Nag Ehgoeg are free to retire at the age of 60. However, as state pensions are so unbelievably pitiful, most citizens work into their late eighties.
+
Despite its importance, Nag Ehgoeg can survive the loss of Syntha Prime, but where it to lose Iron Glass as well then it would be rendered incapable of carrying out foreign military action without major support from it’s international allies.
  
−
*'''Right To Service:''' The “Right” to Service is somewhat misleading. All citizens between the ages of 16 and 30 must enlist in the Nagian Defence Force for no less than one year. Most take this opportunity to train as military engineers or medical staff.
+
====Taba'et====
  
−
*'''Right To Education:''' All citizens of Nag Ehgoeg below the retirement age are entitled to free education provided by the state up to the Doctorate level. Citizens about the age of 60 are still entitled to free education up to basic University Degree Level (i.e. Not a Masters or Doctorate Degree). All citizens '''must''' receive no less than 10 years of education and must start schooling between the ages of 4 and 8. Most commonly children are enrolled at the age of six.
+

−
===Religious Break Down===
+
Population: c19,000,000
  
−
Officially Nag Ehgoeg recognises 3 faiths: Catholicism, Satanism and Agnosticism. However independent surveys indicated that Nag Ehgoeg has the following religious demographic:
+
Taba'et – the City of the Learned. A city built to further Nagian science, Taba'et is also a major military think-tank. Joint projects with other nations of less than unimpeachable repute take place in Taba’et, particularly such any project involving the Trilateral Commission. Taba'et houses the central building for Nag Ehgoeg’s leading umbrella corporation, ACO, and a secondary United Nations building.
  
−
*Christian: 22%
+
Taba'et is the Nagian city most friendly to foreign enterprise, and when the Red Death ravaged the world it was the most open to try foreign cures while working to improve on existing discoveries – eventually engineering an airborne bacterium capable of replicating the cure and vaccine from inside a host body which was used to clear out Syntha Prime.
−
:*Catholic: 13%
+
−
:*Orthodox: 5%
+
−
:*Protestant: 3%
+
−
:*Other: 1%
+
−
*Agnostic: 19%
+
−
*Satanist: 17%
+
−
*Atheist: 16%
+
−
*Muslim: 13%
+
−
:*Sunni: 11%
+
−
:*Other: 2%
+
−
*Judaism: 6%
+
−
*Wicca/New Age: 5%
+
−
*Other: 3%
+
  
−
===Crime and Punishment===
+
Being open to foreign enterprise, Taba'et has just welcomed [[oZ Corp Enterprises]] building into Nag Ehgoeg.
  
−
Crime in Nag Ehgoeg is virtually non-existent, eliminating the need for a conventional prison system. Every public place is recorded by security cameras. However this system is fully automated, and thus not monitored in real time, but rather a request must be made to a Judge in order to get permission to view the tape.
+
====Sagen====
  
−
Criminals in Nag Ehgoeg are almost universally treated by a course of operant conditioning (brain washing). For minor crimes, such as shop lifting, this usually takes place along side counselling. For major crimes, however, the citizens civil rights are suspended and the conditioning is far more… ''intensive''. Rehabilitated murderers often end the six month conditioning period envying their victim.
+
[http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sagen9he.jpg http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/5640/sagen9he.th.jpg]
  
−
====Trial====
+
Population: c30,000,000
  
−
Nagian citizens are innocent until proven guilty. As such, accused criminals have the right to be tried after no less than 30 days after arrest, regardless of their crime. In practice crime is so rare that next day trails are the norm.
+
Sagen is the definition of what a boarder city should be. Sagen has the transport links needed to get around, and into Nag Ehgoeg proper. Containing Nag Ehgoeg’s second largest train and underground train stations, and its third largest airport not to mention the military airstrip outside of the city making Sagen almost as well connected as the Capital. Secular, devoted to research and a large enough military presence to hold off an attacking force: Sagen is a reflection of Syntha Prime’s versatility.
  
−
A Nagian jury consists of 21 members: 3 are chosen by the defendant; 3 are chosen by the prosecution; and the remaining 14 are chosen at random from the populace.
+
However Sagen is hardly everything a Nagian city should be. Every city has its problems, Iron Glass is a shadow city of pollution, but Sagen’s problems are not so obvious.
  
−
Every crime in Nag Ehgoeg is settled by trial by jury and requires a majority of 16 of the jurors to reach a concordance on a verdict.
+
Sagen is secular enough to attract religious fanatics, but not open enough to worship to appease them. Major Catholic and Muslim terrorist groups operate out of Sagen, and as most of Nagian intelligence is centralised many of their actions go unnoticed. More worrying is how Sagen is so far removed from the rest of Nag Ehgoeg: the military has a surprising amount of control over the city. This wouldn’t be too bad, where it not for the shadow war of religious extremists vying for control of Nag Ehgoeg who aim to undermine the influence of their rivals within the military. Should a major league Christian or Muslim nation attack Sagen, it is possible they might find half of their opposing Officers being killed in their sleep, and the other half defecting to their cause.
  
−
The “contamination” of the jury by “professional” jurors has been criticized by the international community and so has allowing the defendant to select jurors – especially in cases relating to organised or gang crime. However prosecution jurors are closely reviewed and defendant plants who try to sway the jury by dubious means often find themselves swiftly put on trial.
+
===Colonies===
 +
====New Nag Ehgoeg====
  
−
====Crime?====
+
Situated in the North American Continent, New Nag Ehgoeg is the first colony to be formed by Nag Ehgoeg. It is noted for its (by Nagian standards) highly religious populas.
  
−
Notably many things are legal in Nag Ehgoeg that are not legal elsewhere. These include:

+
Declared independance from Nag Ehgoeg.
  
−
*Prostitution and recreational drug use: Again, both legal in Nag Ehgoeg, however an individual partaking in such acts is required to register with the government and may find their free health care revoked.
+
====Swiss Nag Ehgoeg====
  
−
*Inciting Crime: It is not a crime to convince others to commit a crime. Everyone is free to make their own choices.
+
Situated in Central Europe, Swiss Nag Ehgoeg is Nag Ehgoeg's second colony. It is dominated by the Emmanuli family who are at odds with the Genosian Catholic Church.
  
−
*Virtual Child Pornography: Artificially created digital images that hurt no-one are not criminal. It is, however, illegal to edit the likeness of any citizen to appear naked with their consent (and consent of a parent of guardian if appropriate). Furthermore public nudity is legal in Nag Ehgoeg (though in the case of minors both the child and parent(s)/guardian(s) must consent).
+

 +
'''Motto:''' "In nomie die populas!"<br>
  
−
*Suicide: All citizens have a right to life, and the right to revoke their rights. This also included assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia.
+
===The Enclave===
  
−
==Government Spending==
+
The Nagian branch of the Inquisition is known as The Enclave. The Enclave has far reaching political powers, and even maintains it's own standing army with a navy larger than that of Nag Ehgoeg itself.
  
−
As of (0) 989 005 M3:
+
The Enclave's armed forces consist of a two milion man milita, similiar in all respects to the [[Nagian_Ground_Forces#Militia|National Militia]] of the NGO and army of "Inquisitors", trained to the level of the Nagian Special Forces. The Inquisitor army has a proud supporting navy and airforce, and is even backed up by a number of light vehicals - most notorious of all being the Catharsis Flame Tank. However, Inquisitors carry much less specialist weaponry than would be expected for an elite force, making extensive use of the AK-47. Modernisation to the AK-103 was suspended indefinitely owing to budget reasons.

−
Nag Ehgoeg commissions a privately owned militia, run by the Nagian Gun Organisation (NGO). The NGO is similar to a cross between the American NRA and the British TA. Private Citizens are trained in weapon usage, belonging to a "club" of sorts and can be paid into military service. Due to a hang over from it's founding days, Nag Ehgoeg requires all citizens to undergo a years military service. In the past this was "got around" with the introduction of military schools, now membership in the Militia is increasingly common.
+

Nag Ehgoeg

The Elected Regency of Nag Ehgoeg is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of over 10 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and the Environment. Citizens pay an average income tax of 20%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry - led by ACO, Nag Ehgoeg's leading company - but the Uranium Mining and Gambling industries are also important.

Catholic protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Not to mention the fact that the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and all recreational drugs are legal. Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages (including English, Latin, Russian, and at least one Turkic language (usually Uzbek)), Nag Ehgoeg's airwaves are dominated by corporate-backed commercial radio, and the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nag Ehgoeg's national animal is the Royal Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the LC.

Currently, Nag Ehgoeg does not have a national anthem. The hymn "My Jesus, My Saviour" has been adapted to temporarily serve as an expression of National Pride. Many citizens, however, either adopt the old anthem or adapt traditional Turkic songs.

Constitution

In practice the rights of Nagian citizens are unwritten, however a short and rather ‘open’ written document does exist:

  1. There is no law beyond "Do what thou wilt!"
  2. Love is the law, love under will.
  3. Let all be held accountable for their actions. Let every action have its reaction.
  4. All are free so long as do not impose on the freedom of others.
  5. An action born of malice for the sake of malice is to be reviled and carries consequences!

Key Civil Rights

While Nag Ehgoeg’s written constitution is scarce, the unwritten constitution of Nag Ehgoeg is extensive. A full list of Citizens Rights would be almost impossible to document, however some of the key elements of Nagian Life are shown below:

  • Suffrage: 16 years of age; universal. Elections are held every 5 years on April 30th. The Regent is decided by popular vote, though each Nagian State has a branch of elected local government.
  • Age of Majority: 16. At the age of 16 a Nagian citizen is considered to be an adult for all lawful purposes. Nagian adults are free to drive motor vehicles, consume alcohol, smoke, have sexual intercourse and take certain approved recreational drugs. In essence, 16 is the only ‘age limit’ in Nag Ehgoeg.
  • Right To Naturalism: Nagian citizens are not required to wear clothing, though many choose to, both in public and private locations. Minors have the right to wear clothes, however their Right to Naturalism is governed by their parents.
  • Right To Bodily Freedom: The government of Nag Ehgoeg recognises that from birth to death a citizens body is there to do what they will with it. Thus it is taken as a given that citizens have the right to modify their body (both physically and with chemicals) in any way they so choose. However free public health care is dependent on the citizen taking certain steps to keep themselves healthy. Notably Nag Ehgoeg does not grant any rights to unborn children unless they could survive on their own out of the womb without intensive medical support. Also the Government claims the bodies of the deceased as government property.
  • Retirement Age: Citizens of Nag Ehgoeg are free to retire at the age of 60. However, as state pensions are so unbelievably pitiful, most citizens work into their late eighties.
  • Right To Service: The “Right” to Service is somewhat misleading. All citizens between the ages of 16 and 30 must enlist in the Nagian Defence Force for no less than one year. Most take this opportunity to train as military engineers or medical staff.
  • Right To Education: All citizens of Nag Ehgoeg below the retirement age are entitled to free education provided by the state up to the Doctorate level. Citizens about the age of 60 are still entitled to free education up to basic University Degree Level (i.e. Not a Masters or Doctorate Degree). All citizens must receive no less than 10 years of education and must start schooling between the ages of 4 and 8. Most commonly children are enrolled at the age of six.

Religious Break Down

Officially Nag Ehgoeg recognises 3 faiths: Catholicism, Satanism and Agnosticism. However independent surveys indicated that Nag Ehgoeg has the following religious demographic:

  • Christian: 25%
  • Catholic: 18%
  • Orthodox: 6%
  • Other: 1%
  • Muslim: 23%
  • Agnostic: 20%
  • Atheist: 18%
  • Satanist: 8%
  • Judaism: 3%
  • Wicca/New Age: 2%
  • Other: 1%

Ethnic Breakdown

Nag Ehgoeg is racially diverse, with a disproportionate number of mixed race citizens. As such, citizens tend to aquire cultural identity from the Sector in which they were raised, rather than from the teachings of their ancestors. However, a rough demographic would look something like this:

  • Turkic: 35%
  • Turkmen: 13%
  • Uzbeki: 12%
  • Kazakh: 7%
  • Other: 3%
  • Caucasian/White (inc. Russian): 30%
  • Afro-caribbean/Black: 22%
  • Asian/Non-Turkic: 12%
  • Other (primarily Latino/Hispanic): 1%

Crime and Punishment

Crime in Nag Ehgoeg is virtually non-existent, eliminating the need for a conventional prison system. Every public place is recorded by security cameras. However this system is fully automated, and thus not monitored in real time, but rather a request must be made to a Judge in order to get permission to view the tape.

Criminals in Nag Ehgoeg are almost universally treated by a course of operant conditioning (brain washing). For minor crimes, such as shop lifting, this usually takes place along side counselling. For major crimes, however, the citizens civil rights are suspended and the conditioning is far more… intensive. Rehabilitated murderers often end the six month conditioning period envying their victim.

Trial

Nagian citizens are innocent until proven guilty. As such, accused criminals have the right to be tried after no less than 30 days after arrest, regardless of their crime. In practice crime is so rare that next day trails are the norm.

A Nagian jury consists of 21 members: 3 are chosen by the defendant; 3 are chosen by the prosecution; and the remaining 15 are chosen at random from the populace.

Every crime in Nag Ehgoeg is settled by trial by jury and requires a majority of 16 of the jurors to reach a concordance on a verdict.

The “contamination” of the jury by “professional” jurors has been criticized by the international community and so has allowing the defendant to select jurors – especially in cases relating to organised or gang crime. However prosecution jurors are closely reviewed and defendant plants who try to sway the jury by dubious means often find themselves swiftly put on trial.

Crime?

Notably many things are legal in Nag Ehgoeg that are not legal elsewhere. These include:

  • Conspiracy to commit a crime: It is perfectly legal to speculate on breaking the law, even to plan detailed acts of terrorist, murder or embezzlement.
  • Prostitution and recreational drug use: Again, both legal in Nag Ehgoeg, however an individual partaking in such acts is required to register with the government and may find their free health care revoked.
  • Inciting Crime: It is not a crime to convince others to commit a crime. Everyone is free to make their own choices.
  • Virtual Child Pornography: Artificially created digital images that hurt no-one are not criminal. It is, however, illegal to edit the likeness of any citizen to appear naked with their consent (and consent of a parent of guardian if appropriate). Furthermore public nudity is legal in Nag Ehgoeg (though in the case of minors both the child and parent(s)/guardian(s) must consent).
  • Suicide: All citizens have a right to life, and the right to revoke their rights. This also included assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia.

Historical Governing

Traditionally, Nag Ehgoeg has been a democracy. However, recently democracy has been suspended in Nag Ehgoeg. Currently Nag Ehgoeg is ruled by the Regent Supremus alone, with all other institutions being declared void and defunct.

Information on democratic Nag Ehgoeg can be found on the Nagian Elections Page.

Elected Regent

Every ten years, a National Electoral Vote is held. Whomever wins the popular vote becomes the Elected Regent.

The Regent weilds total executive and judical power. Though in exceptional circumstances the Regents decisions may be overturned by other elected officals.

Regina Optiva/Optivus Rex

The (female/male) spouse of the Regent. Legally joined to the Regent by marriage, the Regina Optiva/Optivus Rex has diplomatic immunity but does not weild executive or judical power.

Optivus Procer/Procer Optiva

A possition equivilent to "Vice President" of other nations. The Optivus Procer is not elected, but chosen by the Regent to serve as the Regent's "second in command". The Regent has the right to choose whomever they please for the possition - as it confers little executive power. The primary duty of the Procer is to take over the duties of the Regent, in the event of the Regent's death, resignation or other miscellaneous incapacity that the Regent might suffer (that would prevent them performing their duty). The Procer is obligated to rule the nation (with The Grand Senate) until an emergency election can take place.

The Grand Senate

Citizens of Nag Ehgoeg are distributed over 8 thousand Administrative Sectors, each consisting of roughly one million citizens in the same geographical region. While the Regent is decided by popular vote, citizens also vote for their Sector Governor every 5 years, the vote taking place along side (but seperate to) the Electoral Vote when appropriate.

These Sector Governers handle the day-to-day governing of the local populas, but also form the Grand Senate which meets four times a year. The Grand Senate's chief duty is to elect the High Parliment, though they can also call for an "Emergency Vote of No Confidence in the Regent" causing an immediate re-election. A unanimous vote of the Senate may overturn any desicion made by the Regent, and may also take the Nation to war (or end a war) without the Regent's consent.

The Grand Senate provides an oppertunity for sucessful Governers to share their wisdom with their peers.

High Parliment

The High Parliment of Nag Ehgoeg is elected every year by the Senate. The Parliment consists of the 13 "Members Of Parliment": the Governers deemed "most fit to represent the People".

As a governing body, the Parliment weilds similar power to the Elected Regent and requires a simple majority vote to counter any desicion made by the Regent.

A unanimous vote of the High Parliment can instate the Regent with "Emergency Powers" allowing for the dissolution of the Senate, Parliment and the Democratic Process until the Regent sees fit. This has never yet been used in the history of Nag Ehgoeg.

Custodian

A new title, relevent to the newly formed Colonies of Nag Ehgoeg. Each colony is divided into Administive Sectors, just like the main land. Local government by Governers is handled the same way, along with membership to the Grand Senate of Nag Ehgoeg. However all of the colony's Governers also form a "Micro Senate" to co-ordinate the colonies affairs. This Senate elects a single leader, much in the same fashion as a Member of Parliment is elected, to represent the Colony. This leader is deemed to be "The Custodian" of the Colony, ruling in the stead of the Regent.

In new Nag Ehgoeg, the title of Custodian has been abolished, along with democracy. However, in Swiss Nag Ehgoeg, the title has become synonymous with “Elected Regent” as the legality of rule by Regent Supremus is disputed. Additionally, Swiss Nag Ehgoeg continues to abide by the traditional, democratic, stature of Nagian government.

Pop Info

Major Cities

Syntha Prime

Population: 2,002,794,031

The capital city of Nag Ehgoeg was originally constructed to house 500,000,000 in comfort and luxury. It was designed to be a collection of skyscrapers going deep into the ground, to high in the air. Each building designed to be a self contained city, its residents would need only to take an elevator to get to work, to go shopping or see the doctor.

Syntha Prime started off with only the central 5 building filled, and a population of but 1% of its maximum. Today a mass shanty town has formed on the fringes of the city that has ballooned to over five times the population it was built to house.

Industrial floors have been converted into purely residential blocks; residential blocks have in turn been demolished to make room for factories. The city grows out into Nag Ehgoeg, and in on itself: the heart of Nag Ehgoeg and its cancer.

Haven

haven2cm.th.jpg

Population: c2,000,000

Syntha Prime was built to be Nag Ehgoeg. But all too quickly did the city fill. Haven was initially founded as an outreach village: a small town designed to supply medical supplies to the natives living in what became Nag Ehgoeg.

Haven quickly swelled. However, unlike Syntha Prime, its mountainous geography prevented it from swelling to the size of other key Nagian cities. It was the second oldest city of Nag Ehgoeg, and it was founded on the principles of charity. Was it any surprise that Haven would become a bastion for Christianity in what was primarily a firmly atheist nation?

Used by the elusive Emmanulas family as a retreat, Haven initially maintained an independence from Genesis City. At one point it even provided shelter for the Arch Heretic Bishop Laab and Prince Thomas of New Harumf. However, as Nag Ehgoeg became more tolerant of religion (or “personal philosophy” as most faiths are still recognised as) Haven quickly became a Catholic city, then a symbol of religious freedom.

Currently approximately 80% of Haven’s residents are of the Catholic Faith, and Nag Ehgoeg’s Cardinal is based here.

Iron Glass

ironglass8ib.th.jpg

Population: c32,000,000

Iron Glass the Underhive was the second major Nagian settlement. Built to mirror Syntha Prime, Iron Glass is an even more run down, poorly built hellhole. However, while Nag Ehgoeg’s capital is surrounded by makeshift housing, Iron Glass is surrounded by factories and military bases.

Nag Ehgoeg’s military is primarily based in a number of autonomous facilities in undisclosed locations. However, if Nag Ehgoeg could be said to have a military capital then Iron Glass might well be it.

Despite its importance, Nag Ehgoeg can survive the loss of Syntha Prime, but where it to lose Iron Glass as well then it would be rendered incapable of carrying out foreign military action without major support from it’s international allies.

Taba'et

et9ie.th.jpg

Population: c19,000,000

Taba'et – the City of the Learned. A city built to further Nagian science, Taba'et is also a major military think-tank. Joint projects with other nations of less than unimpeachable repute take place in Taba’et, particularly such any project involving the Trilateral Commission. Taba'et houses the central building for Nag Ehgoeg’s leading umbrella corporation, ACO, and a secondary United Nations building.

Taba'et is the Nagian city most friendly to foreign enterprise, and when the Red Death ravaged the world it was the most open to try foreign cures while working to improve on existing discoveries – eventually engineering an airborne bacterium capable of replicating the cure and vaccine from inside a host body which was used to clear out Syntha Prime.

Being open to foreign enterprise, Taba'et has just welcomed oZ Corp Enterprises building into Nag Ehgoeg.

Sagen

sagen9he.th.jpg

Population: c30,000,000

Sagen is the definition of what a boarder city should be. Sagen has the transport links needed to get around, and into Nag Ehgoeg proper. Containing Nag Ehgoeg’s second largest train and underground train stations, and its third largest airport not to mention the military airstrip outside of the city making Sagen almost as well connected as the Capital. Secular, devoted to research and a large enough military presence to hold off an attacking force: Sagen is a reflection of Syntha Prime’s versatility.

However Sagen is hardly everything a Nagian city should be. Every city has its problems, Iron Glass is a shadow city of pollution, but Sagen’s problems are not so obvious.

Sagen is secular enough to attract religious fanatics, but not open enough to worship to appease them. Major Catholic and Muslim terrorist groups operate out of Sagen, and as most of Nagian intelligence is centralised many of their actions go unnoticed. More worrying is how Sagen is so far removed from the rest of Nag Ehgoeg: the military has a surprising amount of control over the city. This wouldn’t be too bad, where it not for the shadow war of religious extremists vying for control of Nag Ehgoeg who aim to undermine the influence of their rivals within the military. Should a major league Christian or Muslim nation attack Sagen, it is possible they might find half of their opposing Officers being killed in their sleep, and the other half defecting to their cause.

The Enclave

The Nagian branch of the Inquisition is known as The Enclave. The Enclave has far reaching political powers, and even maintains it's own standing army with a navy larger than that of Nag Ehgoeg itself.

The Enclave's armed forces consist of a two milion man milita, similiar in all respects to the National Militia of the NGO and army of "Inquisitors", trained to the level of the Nagian Special Forces. The Inquisitor army has a proud supporting navy and airforce, and is even backed up by a number of light vehicals - most notorious of all being the Catharsis Flame Tank. However, Inquisitors carry much less specialist weaponry than would be expected for an elite force, making extensive use of the AK-47. Modernisation to the AK-103 was suspended indefinitely owing to budget reasons.

The Enclave are the defacto rulers of New Nag Ehgoeg and Gaza (which is being used as a base of operations for the Holy League).

Nagian Inquisitors have fallen under suspicion for carrying out unlawful acts, not limited to arson and murder. Offically, the Inquistion is purely an organisation of Spiritual Guidance.
