The Superpower of The Phoenix Milita is a massive, safe and economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.65 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator(Field Marshall [[Maximus Seville II]]), 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by Arms Manufacturing [[Phoenix Dynamix|Phoenix Dynamix INC]] and IS followed by the the Automobile Manufacturing industry and Uranium Mining industries.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, and manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job.'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favorite drink, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, people who are terrified of needles are torn between their phobia and free health care, and gun ownership is compulsory. Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, and military service is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Phoenix Milita's national animal is the [[Wikipedia:Red Fox|Red Fox]] which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the [[Shell Casing]].

TPM has one of the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of 32,055.83. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. TPM business firms enjoy considerably greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to entry in their rivals' home markets than the barriers to entry of foreign firms in TPM markets. TPM firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment. The onrush of technology largely explains the gradual development of a "two-tier labor market" in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits.The year 2001 saw the end of boom psychology and performance, with output increasing only 0.3% and unemployment and business failures rising substantially.  Moderate recovery took place in 2002 with the GDP growth rate rising to 2.4%. A major short-term problem in first half 2002 was a sharp decline in the stock market, fueled in part by the exposure of dubious accounting practices in some major corporations. The war in March/April 2003 between a TPM-led coalition and Islamaisbad shifted resources to the military. Unemploymentis at 2.68%. Long-term problems includerapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, sizable budget deficits, and stagnation of family income in the lower economic groups.

Long-term problems include rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, constant threat of alien invasion, sizable budget deficits, and stagnation of family income in the lower economic groups.

The Superpower of The Phoenix Milita is a massive, safe and economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.65 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator(Field Marshall Maximus Seville II), 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defense, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by Arms Manufacturing Phoenix Dynamix INC and IS followed by the the Automobile Manufacturing industry and Uranium Mining industries. Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of grueling tests to evaluate their capabilities, and manual laborers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job.'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favorite drink, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, people who are terrified of needles are torn between their phobia and free health care, and gun ownership is compulsory. Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, and military service is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Phoenix Milita's national animal is the Red Fox which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Shell Casing.

Background:

The Phoenix Milita was formed July 4th, 2001, by 5 million Tyradorian military hard-liners and thier families. In late 2004, TPM finished what it started, conquering Tyrador in just 2 months. Today TPM is one one of the world's great powers and makes an impact on international trade with its massive and active aircraft production facilities.

Economy

Economy - overview:

TPM has one of the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of 32,055.83. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. TPM business firms enjoy considerably greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to entry in their rivals' home markets than the barriers to entry of foreign firms in TPM markets. TPM firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment. The war in March/April 2003 between a TPM-led coalition and Islamaisbad shifted resources to the military where they have remained for the past 4 years. Unemployment was at 2.68% in mid 2006. Long-term problems include rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, constant threat of alien invasion, sizable budget deficits, and stagnation of family income in the lower economic groups.

to the darkest day
in every way
we will forever fight

we will always do our best
we'll drive them out
they'll scream and shout!!
Any thing
Any time
Any wherer
The Phoenix Milita
WILL BE THERE!
