''July 21st, 1293IR''
 +
In an event that will be remembered in the history books, North Mack finally launched its first Interstellar Battleship today. Outfitted with all the latest technology, including the newly developed Artificial Gravity System, as well as the Boranian Shift Drive, the <i>ISS Contact</i> heads for the stars. It will shift to a location that is thought to be the origin of a extra-terrestrial radio signal, in the hopes that it is artificial. No word on the result of the mission as of yet.</FONT><BR>

===General Information===
 +
The Terran Empire of North Mack is located on the planet Heimatland, which literally means 'Homeland'. The Empire gained control of the planet after conquering its neighbors using a slight technological edge. The Empire has maintained that edge, funding the most advanced research efforts, and spending a whole 59% of the Government Budget on defence related projects.
  
__TOC__
+
===A Short History===
 +
North Mack was originally only one of many nations on Heimatland, indeed, it had succeeded from the oppressive nation of Mack. North Mack, due to its small status, saw that it needed an edge. It funneled all available funds into research and military technology. It gained several advantages over its neighbors, so that when war did come, North Mack not only endured, but prospered. a mere 700 years after North Mack became independant, it controlled the entire planet. (The last enemy nation fell on June 25th, 732IR.) It saw nowhere else to go on the planet, so it looked to the stars. At first, the Empire could only reach its own solar system. After it had filled out the solar system (Mining asteroids for metals, and comets for ice and water, building military outposts on every rocky planet, and sewing satellites like seeds) North Mack looked for signs of extra-terrestrial life. And it found them. Recently, the <i>ISS Contact</i> (ISS stands for Imperial Star Ship) headed out into the galaxy, to connect with other intelligent races.
  
 +
===The Government===
 +
As the government is focused entirely around the military, it it ovbious that most government officials were former military soldiers (Indeed, the Kaiser himself was a Captain in the Imperial Army). In fact, in order to become a high ranking official, a person must have served more then the mandatory 2 years in the military.
  
== The Terran Dominion of North Mack ==
+
====Current Government Officials====
The Terran Dominion of North Mack is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.952 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

===The Lay Of The Land===
 +
====Topographic Informaiton====
 +
The planet of Heimatland is mainly plains, but also has a large amount of forests and mountains. This diverse geography has allowed the Imperial Armed Forces a wide range of training locations, so that they are prepared for combat in any terrain.
  
The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal then most battlefields, military spending is on the increase, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, and much of North Mack's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Mack's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the M-Cred.

After the Diplomatic period, having seen how other nations existed, North Mack realzed something. It needed an edge. It needed space warfare. Billions of Creds worth of funds were pored into researching InterSteller drives. First to work was the Bubble Drive, but it used a hell of a lot of energy. To counter this, The North Mack Casimir Generator, (NMCG) was created. It generated energy using space-time. A 20x20x20 fot cube could power a modern day city. The NMCG is still in use today.

=== The NYC Conflict ===
+
====SCSM1k1====
When North Mack had just joined the ranks of the FT nations, it came to the aid of one of its allies, NYC. It used a space based carrier to launch fighters assisting NYC, whose shipping lanes were being attacked and cargoes seized. When parked in orbit, the carrier was attacked by another allie of North Mack, the Forest Bread Elves. FBE had betrayed North Mack, and had kicked off the start of the Unjust War
+
As North Mack found itself deploying its Black Corps soldiers on an ever increacing amount of dangerous missions, casualties began to mount. On one mission, three Black Corps soldiers were killed, the greatest mission loss in the history of the Black Corps program.  
  
 +
North Mack scientists began development of a highly advanced armor system, that would make the soldiers nearly invincible. It was called the Spartan Combat Suit Model 1, Version 1, or the SCSM1k1. Made of special synthetic materials, the suit is an entirely enclosed system, allowing its user to even battle in airless environments. The success was immediate. Since the deployment of the suits on missions classified as REAVER5, or missions that would essensially be suicide for even an entire brigade of regular soldiers, only 2 Black Corps soldiers have been lost, both due to suit failure.
  
=== The Unjust War ===
+
[http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/halo2bios/01mc.jpg Picture of a SCSM1k1 Suit]
The Unjust War occurred when North Mack had around 500 million citizens. This was called the Unjust War. Forest Bread Elves had betrayed North Mack, and attacked with 4 allies (all with billion plus population) North Mack was able to survive, but lost 2 cities and an Emporer to nuclear fire before nations stepped in on North Mack's side.
+
 
+
=== The First Rebellion ===
+
The Revolution occured next. This was the first uprising of the People of North Mack, and was almost succesfull. However, in the end, the Revolution was put down and North Mack remained under Impirical control.
+
 
+
 
+
=== The Great Migration ===
+
At the end of the First Rebellion, North Mack discovered a habitable planet around the star Beta Centlet. The North Mack government decided to move ALL citizens to the New Planet. The task took 13 years. Durring that time, birth was outlawed in North Mack, and massive Population Ships were build, each capable of taking up to 2 million passengers each. With the invention of the new Shift Drive, a round trip jorney, (Loading, shift, unload, shift back) took around 2 months. The entire population of North Mack was completley transported to their new home 13 years after the start of the Great Migration. On January First, 926 Imperial Reckoning ended, and It bacame January First, 1 Post-Migration, or 1-1-1 P.M.
+
 
+
=== The Second Rebellion===
+
The second revolution occured recently, (at 1.358 Billion population) and started with the assassination of Emporer Jackson. The rebels were more organized then last time, and took the capitol, 14 other cities, and 4 military installations before it was put down with the assistance of outside nations.
+
 
+
===The Frenzia War===
+
North Mack was called to assist a CIN nation, No_State_At_All in the aid of defending a nation called Frenzia, which was under attack by massive, militaristic corporations. North Mack remained involved for about a month before one of the major CIN allies, No_State_At_All, mystyriously cut all contact and trade with the outside world. Battle came to a standstill, and Frenzia signed a treaty with New Nick. The treaty involved NN getting a small section of the conquered land, a chemical arms reduction, and NN recompensing Frenzia for war damages. North Mack withdrew its troops, and the Emporer declared a victory.
+
 
+
== The Impirical Council ==
+
North Mack is ruled by an Emporer. The emporer has the final say in all. However, whenever the emporer prepares to make a decicion concerning laws or military affairs, an '''Impirical Council''' is called. The Impirical Council, or IC, is like a senate meeting. The members of the IC attempt to pursuade the Emporer to make one decision or another. An IC has no set length, and have been recorded to last as short as five minutes, or as long as three months. The longest IC on record lasted four months and eight days.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
== The Class System ==
+
In North Mack, the Military is all. Consuming approximatly 50% of the budget, the Military is the heart and soul of Mackian Culture. All technology starts in the military, evry civillian must serve one year in the military, and evry government official started in the military.
+
 
+
North Mack has an unusual class system. In North Mack, there are only three classes. '''Civilians''', '''Citizens''', and '''Officials'''. A member of society can only reach the Citizen and Official class through military service.
+
 
+
=== Civilians ===
+
The basic class in North Mack is the Civilian. A civilian has only basic freedoms. They cannot participate in Impirical Councils, and are not allowed to own Citizen or Official grade housing and technology. A member of North Mack does not need to do anything to attain Civilian status.
+
 
+
=== Citizens ===
+
The next step up from Civilian is the Citizen. To become a citizen, a civilian needs to enlist in the Military (''Enlist'', meaning the one year of mandatory service doesnt grant Citizen status), or do something ''so'' extraordinary, that the Emporer himself grants Citizen status to the Civilian. Citizens can live in Citizen and Civilian grade houses, and have permits to own certain technologies forbidden to Civilians.
+
 
+
=== Officials ===
+
After a Citizen has ceased their sevice to the Military, they are judged by the Officials Tribunal. If the tribunal judges them worthy, they are granted Official status and can serve in government positions and jobs. If they are judged to be unworthy, they remain Citizens, and have the option to reenlist in the Military and Post-Citizens, who usually obtain jobs such as supply officers, and other non-combat jobs. Officials can live in all classes of housing, and are granted permits to own almost all technology available to North Mack. The Emporer himslef is of the Official class.
