The One Hundreth Reich
History of The One Hundreth Reich
The first ever ruler of The One Hundreth Reich was the commander of the Spetsnaz forces, Colonel Gurlukovich. He succeeded in joining third world countries together into The One Hundreth Reich. Before this formation took place, these third world countries were constantly at war. The Spetsnaz should up and put on a display of awesome firepower while Gurlukovich out smarted the third world troops. Colonel Gurlukovich then assumed control over the region, and called it "Outer Heaven". To avenge their expulsion from the Soviet Union, the Spetsnaz targeted and raided numerous Soviet research facilities and "rescuing" the scientists. Back in Outer Heaven, the scientists were granted freedom to do whatever they wanted as long as they somehow furthered Outer Heaven's progress. When word of this treatment got back to the Soviet Union, all sorts of educated people from doctors to engineers to more scientists fled the Soviet Union to Outer Heaven. Then in 1997, Gurlukovich died. Without the stability provided by Gurlukovich, The One Hundreth Reich dissolved back into the third world countries, and thrown back into war. The Spetsnaz couldn't keep control of the situation, and fled the region, hoping they could ally with someone and once again bring stability to the region. Their prayers were answered when a United States special forces unit known as Foxhound was disbanded after a terrorist incident. Foxhound was forgotten about, and they turned into nomads, searching for a place to call home. They stumbled upon Spetsnaz troops hiding in the mountains around what was once "Outer Heaven". They joined forces, and once again brought stability to the region. The new nation that was formed was called The Empire of The One Hundreth Reich. The new man in charge was the commander of Foxhound, known only by his rank of Colonel. He succeeded in bringing more and more techies to The One Hundreth Reich, and as a result, furthing The One Hundreth Reich from a third world country to something much more.
Political Orchestration
The President- The president is the main body of the government. He has the power to make any decision that he thinks is in the best intrest of The One Hundreth Reich, and he is elected by the people. The current president is the commander of the Foxhound unit, known only by his rank of Colonel. He served in the 101st Airborne in World War 2, which is where The One Hundreth Reich's flag comes from.
The Presidential Advisors- The president is aided by 3 advisors who are also elected by the people. Their job is to oversee the President's decisions and make sure they aren't irrational.
The People- The people are the bottom line. If two-thirds of the public doesn't agree with the decision made by the advisors, they can override the advisors and cancel out their decision.
Voting
Any citizen of The One Hundreth Reich 18 years of age or older has the right to vote.
The Military
Scince The Empire of The One Hundreth Reich was founded on the principle of a strong military, that's where most of the government spending goes. Scince it was originally a haven for the Spetsnaz and created as a haven for forgotten soldiers, its military is comprised of highly trained soldiers and units from all over the world. The military is especially known for its special forces units. The most dominate of these is the Foxhound unit. The One Hundreth Reich's military is also comprised of a massive armored corps, comprised mostly of the M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks. It also has an elite Army and a powerhouse of a navy. The One Hundreth Reich also has an enormous air force comprised of various aircraft from throughout the world. There are also the Metal Gear Projects that pushes The One Hundreth Reich's nuclear launch capability past any nation on the planet.
Special Forces Units
The One Hundreth Reich has many special forces units such as the Army Rangers, Delta Force, and the A-Team. But the dominate two are the Spetsnaz and Foxhound. The Spetsnaz are a group of Russian soldiers which number around 1,000. Foxhound doesn't have as many soldiers as Spetsnaz, but they are just as, if not, more efficient than the Spetsnaz. Foxhound specializes in one man infiltration missions. Stealth missions behind enemy lines. The Spetsnaz normally attack and hold places of particular interest to The One Hundreth Reich. Other units like the Rangers, Delta Force, and the A-Team specialize in counter-terrorist ops or stealth missions like ambushes or hostage rescue ops.
The Armored Corps
Well over 75,000 strong, the armored corps is a force to be reckoned with. The armored corps is split into seven divisions, the most renowned, the 3rd Armored Division, nicknamed Spearhead. The 3rd Armored Division has been around scince World War 2. Its nickname Spearhead refers to the fact that almost all major offensives from WW2 where "spearheaded" by the 3rd Armored. It's not that they're more highly trained than the others, its just that they made a name for themselves. The main tank in the armored corps is the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank.
The Army
Well over 100,000 strong, the Army is comprised of 10 divisions. Each soldier is trained for all types of warfare from desert to jungle to snow and whatever else. Each soldier is more than capable of surviving on their own with no more than a hunting knife which makes them extremely independent. The standard issue rifle of the Army is the M1A16 assault rifle with an M79 grenade launcher attachment.
The Marines
Although not as numerous as the army(coming in at around 50,000 strong), the Marine Corps is tougher and better than the Army. The Marines are trained almost as hard as special forces units, and are more capable of inflicting heavy damage while trapped behind enemy lines than the Army. The Marines are still equipped with a M1A16 assault rifle with an M79 grenade launcher attachment.
The Navy
The Navy is comprised mostly of submarines, although there are a few aircraft carriers, battleships, and destroyers. There are 150 attack subs, 75 nuclear missle subs, 65 aircraft carriers, 50 battleships, and 75 destroyers.
The Airforce
The Airforce known as the HRAF(Hundreth Reich Airforce), utilizes various aircraft from around the world such as fighters like the MIG-25, F-14 Tomcat, and the infamous F-22 Raptor, to bombers like the B-52 heavy bomber, the F-117A Nighthawk, and the B-2 Flying Wing Stealth Bomber. The pilots of these aircraft undergo intense survival much like the Army so in the event they get shot down over enemy territory, they can survive and make they're way back to friendly territory.
The Metal Gear Projects
Metal Gear "Rex"
"Rex" is the codename for the Metal Gear developed for the Army. It's a nuclear equipped bipedal tank that is capable of launching a nuclear warhead from any place on the face of the planet. It's armed with a TMD(Theater Missle Defense) module on its back, 2 vulcan cannons, 2 rocket pods, and a laser. It also has a rail gun on its right shoulder. "Rex" is capable of launching a new type of nuclear warhead, but the details are classified.
Metal Gear "Ray"
"Ray" is the codename for the Marine Metal Gear derivetive. "Ray" has a massive payload of 1,000 missles, and comes equipped with 2 vulcan cannons on each arm. Like "Rex", "Ray" is also bipedal, but unlike "Rex", "Ray" does not have nuclear launch capability. However, it makes up for this by being amphibious. "Ray" can cruise deep underwater and make its landing on any shoreline.
Arsenal Gear
Arsenal Gear is the name of the Navy's Metal Gear. Unlike both "Rex" and "Ray", Arsenal is not bipedal. It's a massive submersible vessel that is capable of transporting the entire army plus its crew and supplies. Arsenal has a payload of 4,000 conventional missles. It also comes equipped with 40 purified hydrogen bombs, 24 nuclear missles, and 15 high altitude EMP missles(missles that detonate at high altitude and release a massive EMP that can fry any electronic gadget in an entire city). Arsenal Gear was designed to be the core of The One Hundreth Reich. It has a direct link to the nation's entire armed forces. It also has an uplink to the internet to digitally manage the flow of information. Arsenal enables the president to run the entire country from it. And scince it's submersible, it can hide from anything deep underwater. Soon, Arsenal will be protected by mass produced Metal Gear "Ray" units which will be piloted by an AI that is centered in Arsenal.
Space Corps
Although The One Hundreth Reich is not advanced enough to have developed its own space corps, it makes up for this in the pure muscle of its earth based forces, and it hopes to have its first 5 Paladin class battle cruisers and 500 Crusader star fighters completed by the end of this year. And the first Emperor class battle cruiser is scheduled for completion by the summer of 2007.
Geography
The One Hundreth Reich is an mountinous country, which is why the Metal Gear "Rex" and "Ray" projects were pushed so much. The One Hundreth Reich has mountains on the northern, eastern, and southern borders, and the Atlantic Ocean on the western border. There are over 500 miles of coastline, and what's not a beach is either a civilian port or a naval base. There are also forests which are mostly public hunting grounds.
Resources
The One Hundreth Reich is abundant in coal, iron, gold, carbon, oil, natural gas, and diamonds.
The Home Front
Healthcare is free to all citizens of The One Hundreth Reich, but wellfare and social security are unheard of. Most roadways are unpaved, but a massive reconstruction product is underway to pave every road and build bigger better road ways linking all major cities. Public transportation is non-existent, but most people who live in the major cities walk anyway.
Economy
The One Hundreth Reich's economy is reletively weak, but that only makes sense because 1, it's a new nation, and 2, scince it was formed by joining a bunch of third world countries, it had no economy to speak of to begin with. But regardless, the economy has grown under the Colonel's reign. By bringing over engineers, doctors, dentists, surgeons, scientists, and other techies, he has succeeded in pushing The One Hundreth Reich past it's third world status. The major industries are arms manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and mining.
Education
There really aren't that many children in The One Hundreth Reich scince it is basically a military stronghold, but The One Hundreth Reich has an extremely organized school system ranging from elementary schools, all the way to universities. By promoting education, The One Hundreth Reich hopes to turn its youth into educated people who can further The One Hundreth Reich's technological progress, and not just soldiers.
Law Enforcement
Crime is totally unkown, thanks to the strict military discipline that most of the populace went through, but there are laws that are strictly enforced, and the dealth penalty is execution style firing squad(point blank shot to the back of the head while the person being executed is on his knees).
