Officially The Queendom of Aliquantus is an imperial monarchy posessing several overseas colonies. Mainland Aliquantus is a large island housing the capital and around 47% of the population of Aliquantus. The nation is very developed, governed by a seven member council that includes the monarch who holds overall power. The Aliquancian people live free of corrupt governance although the government is absolute and elections are none existent. Aliquantus is an anti-green nation, carbon emissions are uncapped and pollution is unchallenged although pollution is low. Religion is seen an outdated concept and is illegal to practice. Mainland Aliquantus is possably the world's most densely populated island. Aliquantus also boasts more millionaires per capita than any other country and is one of the most isolated nations in the world; foreign influences and tourism are regulated by the government to preserve its traditional deportment of sexuality and sexual culture. Aliquantus possesses several colonies and is a member of the Mediterranica region.

History

Aliquantus was originally an ainchent settlement similar to the mythical island of Atlantis, the island was flooded by an underwater volcaino witch boiled the water as it submerged the island, the population either burned or drowned. It was then discovered by Godiva, captain of the ship 'Rapier' who was a female British buccaneer. After beaching, she built a settlement and her crew named it Godiva, after her. After selling the location of the Island to British charters traders began using the island as shelter and to replenish meat and water stores wile trading in the process. In 1625 French and Spanish settlers arrived to the north of the island after initially planning to settle elsewhere. The French and Spanish settlers were attacked in 1629 by the Royal Navy, the French retreated and the Spanish where forced from the island. The British where successful and captured the northern settlements on the island, expelling the French and Spanish civilians. The British renamed the settlement Essex and also named the island Aliquantus. The French then returned to take the fort but retreated after resistance by the British who had expanded on the fortifications. A year after the British had landed, travlers from Essex found Godiva's settlement and after negotiations, the British gained sovereignty of the whole island with Godiva as the Governor. From 1630 onward, the island of Aliquantus was divided into free trade areas and British colonies allowing buccaneers to use the island more frequently as their main base of operations. In the same year, the Spanish returned to trade with the British and to keep the peace the British pirates were ordered to leave, but the order was blocked by Godiva. She was to be removed from governing if she did not comply, only for the Spanish to leave again allowing the pirates to stay. In 1633, the Spanish again returned to take the island but failed after heavy losses, this enraged the Spanish who returned with a far larger force backed by the French. Facing three thousand Spanish and French soldiers was the British garrison of only two hunderd men. As the attcking forces ammassed outside Essex, Godiva rode along the battle line naked in order to pospone the attack until the next day at the request of the Spanish general. This was so the British ship HMS Saracen could unload weapons and ammunition for the civilians to fight the attackers with. The battle ended with a decisive victory for the defenders and for its actions, a town was named after HMS Saracen, the town was then the garrison for British troops.

By 1640, the British left and buccaneers claimed power of Aliquantus under Godiva as their Queen. The pirate population was mostly made up of British citizens. In 1645 Godiva was killed by a gunshot during a battle against a Spanish warship, her daughter Eva became queen at the age of seventeen. Due to her death most of the citizens began to revolt and in an attempt to bring harmony and control over the island, the Queen Eva imported roughly 3,000 prostitutes from nabouring islands, hoping to regularize the unruly pirates' lives. By the year 1670, as the buccaneer era was in decline, many of the pirates, seeking a new source of trade, turned to work as lumberjacks, metalsmith's and traders from the island. At this time, however, a British pirate named James Gaffa partnered with the Queen and started to advertise Aliquantus and invite the pirates on the island of Aliquantus to set sail under their leadership. They created a striking force that allowed pirates to have a much stronger hold on the region. Consequently the first Aliquancian navy was built. In 1675, the governors office was demolished and the first Royal Palace was built. After the import of prostitutes the female population had oversteped the male population considerably, fornication was wildly out of control and added to the growth of the island. The island was fully under control of Queen Tidal of the House of Scythe in 1737. She braught order to Aliquantus with her soldiers and in 1745 after eight years building the country she ordered the building of the first Crown Jewels. It was built from the large collection of loot that had been dormant since the navy was formed.

Citizenship

There are five bases of citizenship in Aliquantus:

Working class: rewarded with government handouts generated from tax, tax paid health service and free education.
Financially able: free from increased pressure or exploitation of their surplus money, encouraged to invest in larger housing, encouraged to invest in financial supporting schemes (Help them remain more financially able).
Military: Aliquancian soldiers are unable to enter civilian areas (See Aliquancian Military).
Immigrants: live as second class citizens and have to accept all standards of living in Aliquantus. Preaching methods other than the Aliquancian way of livening is illegal and immigrants who break this law are imprisoned and if found guilty may face death. Temporary citizens are welcomed but face many of the same harsh immigration laws. Business travellers are restrained less. Immigration is extremely gruelling. Upon entry immigrants must write, speak and toughly understand the English language. Immigrants also must abide by native traditions and become a member of society, not live as an outsider and to be eligible for health/tax/housing/education benefits they must have approval from community leaders. They must also give up religion. Immigrants must sign documents accepting these standards; penalty of not abiding by this document is classed as treason. Treason is punished by death by hanging.
Criminals / Unwanted people: are stripped of all possessions and money, death penalty imposed on murderers, paedophiles and traitors. Illegal immigrants and criminals who have been executed suffer public banishment (dumped far out into the ocean by the military to save Aliquancian citizens taxes and burial grounds).

Adepta Purplia

Adepta Purplia is the name of the soldier force charged with guarding the official Sovereign residences in Aliquantus and are the Sovereign Family’s body guard. Adepta Purplia is separate from the Aliquancian military although each soldier is chosen from the military.

Culture & Social

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">

Aliquancian women.

</div>Sexually orientated adult behaviour is traditional; nudity is legal above the age of eighteen although purposely nude in front of children is a legal offence. Nudity in practice is rare (see Public Clothing and Appearance). Sexually orientated tradition has recently become more popular; the all female royal family are indescribably beautiful and base life around this tradition and have become the benchmark of what the public accept.

Obesity is offensive to natives; obesity that invites certain medical problems is illegal. Smoking tobacco, snorting cocaine (gak) and smoking cannabis are social luxuries, for example, cocaine is used to stimulate oneself in a social area and all are legal substances. However, if any invite certain medical problems the payment of the treatment is used as punishment. Most other drugs are highly illegal, increased tax and in some cases, public banishment (dumped, by military aircraft, far out in the ocean) are the main punishments. Incest, necrophilia, rape and other sexual attacks are illegal; to the natives they are sickening and are among the most morally incorrect actions and the punishment is death. Age limits are largely liberal: movies, pornography and alcohol are under the 12A limit, requiring the participant to be the age of twelve and over to be able to use/view, the A is an advisory rule: A=Requiring an advisory certificate digitally signed by a parent (In case the parent disallows the viewing/use these items).

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">

The Rock of Aliquantus.

</div>Sexual activities, driving and the ability to leave and/or be independent of a guardian freely are obtained at the age of sixteen. Ownership of a weapon (Registered), a private home and large vehicles (Trucks, industrial vehicles) are legal after the age of eighteen.

A compulsory survey in early 2007 showed that 68% of females and only 1% of males are Bisexual, 11% of females and 80% of males were heterosexual, 10% of females and 9% of males are homosexual and the rest were of undecided orientation. Celebrities live amongst the average public. Actors, politicians and other celebrity figures buy larger condos in the centre of Aliquantus city. Permanent housing is restricted by law to be large, the minimum size a modern house can be is laid out is based around a large four bedroom family house template set by the Government. This was once a problem, space needed for so many large houses, single houses were largely replaced by condo style housing, each sharing a large social area with a swimming pool, the stacked housing and social area would replace the obsolete single house and single garden (yard). This type of housing enabled large housing and also enabled several families to share and live around a single area, each complex and attaching gardens is known as ‘ite domum’, pronounced ‘Iti-domm’ Linking each citizen together keeps crime down, it is not rare for an ‘ite domum’ to host barbecues, parties and other social gatherings for friends, neighbours and family. Homosexuality is accepted, outsiders would see Aliquantus's females as bisexual, homosexuality in men is extremely rare however, mainly due to the outweighing number of females. The people of Aliquantus are known as Aliquancians.

Religion & Marriage

Religion and Marriage are both abolished concepts and are illegal to practice. Commitment is rare. Due to the abolishment of religion second names are rare, only used in certain cases.

Life expectancy

Life expectancy is down to around the age of fifty to sixty years, scientists believe that due to the sexually rich culture, after sexual activity stops the body expires without a purpose, citizens are acceptant of this, the inevitability of death does not fear the population. Despite the country’s scientific advances, no attempt has been made to 'cure' this trend of somewhat early death as Aliquancians view old age and dependability as a worse fate than death.

People, Public Clothing and Appearance

Due to the many generations of appearance determined genocide the public is largely of what was classed as beauty, although this act is illegal now it is because of this that the natives are extremely beautiful/handsome, the beauty of the people has influenced a great sexual culture, that of witch the Princesses are a benchmark of. The population are golden tanned due to the climate and sun exposure. Clothing is a large industry because it is tailored for the hot weather and style that the natives desire. Loose, thin, one piece clothing with loose necklaces is the most fashionable style for women while men stray little from baggy, loose shirts and tight jeans. Generally lightly coloured clothes are the norm. Signet rings are an expensive ring, given at birth at expense of the government, these rings are a symbol of your family, they are used to sign (with wax) important documents along with a personal signature, the personalisation of such rings is encouraged, it is also fashionable to attach signet rings on a necklace. Signet rings and signatures are also accompanied by a digital signature in some cases. Aliquancians also rarely have second names.

Education

Education in Aliquantus is controlled by the Ministry of Public Education, headed by the Education Minister, Lady Latis. Pass levels are high; the level of financial support it receives is on the rise. Being that the sexually orientated culture can inflict sexually transmitted diseases, sex education is practised more in Aliquantus than in any other known nation. Language and Literature is of high quality, schooling of language keeps Latin and English on a parallel setting and both are used for convocation. Strangely enough, the nation produces citizens with a higher IQ and common sense ability than most nations although maths education such as algebra is sacrificed; maths is a practised form of education however and Roman Numerals replace standard numbers. Education starts at the age of three, mainly influenced by the British schooling system. Nursery school introduces children to education at the age of three; Primary school lasts from four to ten years and then Secondary school from ten years to sixteen years of age. Collage is not compulsory; passing secondary school education is comparable to a collage degree in other nations. Further education in collage is expense paid by the government although university is a private investment. Education is based around teaching practical lessons, schooling that will be used in a work related or social environment is preferred than trying to teach a teenager brain surgery.

Economy

The five largest industries are Science, Uranium mining, Future Technology, Defence contracting and native influenced clothing and jewellery. The chemical and pharmaceutical industry is also strong in Aliquantus. Aliquantus is a leading nation in the so called ‘Smart blood’ and Magnetorheological fluid technology and is investing in Nanotechnology. There are a large number of science and future technology research companies. The larger companies in the science related industry include Bastelleim, CitaDEL, SIRR and Telemarx. The new technology and science industry accounts for 8% of the economy. The motor industry is a significant part of the countries economy. Aliquantus is also home to Naphtha Battletech Yards, a large defence contractor. Civil aircraft production is led by a large aerospace firm, Aircoach. There is also a large Jet Engine manufacturer; Regal and East, witch produces the engines for the larger NBY Company’s military aircraft and the engines for Aircoach’s civil aircraft. Aliquantus has large coal, natural gas and oil reserves. Primary energy production accounts for about 10% of Gross domestic product (GDP), one of the highest shares of any industrial state although nuclear power stations have replaced oil and gas power stations and two hydroelectric dams have been planned. The sex trade is a legal and socially accepted enterprise; Aliquantus’s sex trade generates a lot of wealth from prostitution, pornography and bawdyhouses, several company operating brothels and sex stores include Peppermint Simum, Glassdom and The Pink. The country is a benchmark in scientific advances towards curing sexually transmitted infections. The largest media corporations are Aliquantus Broadcasting witch is a large television and internet media company, The Chapter National Newspaper and the internet service provider and television giant IV Network. Banking is also a major industry. The currency used in Aliquantus is the Lex, its symbol is L. The currency and economy is handled by The Royal Bank who have kept inflation to the target level and the GDP rising, recently The Royal Bank has introduced punitive tariffs to protect local industry.
As the entire island of mainland Aliquantus is covered with the city any underground resources are unobtainable; however, Aliquancian territorial waters are home to underwater reserves of crude oil and natural gas. Natural resources include: graphite, diamond, ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst, opal, aquamarine, tanzanite, alexandrite, petroleum and natural gas. Gemstones are a natural mystery on Avarice islands, they were discovered when the islands rainforest was being explored, the release of methane from the melting of alpine permafrost peat bogs drew attention to the mountain and when the mountain was climbed the gemstone reserves were found. Aliquantus imports most resources and most jobs are in the manufacturing, banking, business, media, entertainment and the social industry (public house, bar, sex trade, night clubs, ect).
Products available for export
Grand tourer luxury automobiles, limestone, marble, jewellery, biomedicine, science applied data, nanotechnology, defence systems, advanced research data, gemstones, condoms, mobile technology, computer related technology, crude oil and natural gas.
Major Imports
Specific: Metals, humans, rubber, polyurethane, uranium, plutonium, rock (particularly metamorphic rock & sedimentary rock), construction materials, construction vehicles and tools and food and aliment products. Generalisation: Modern technology, manufactured goods.

Transport

Transport in Aliquantus is proficient, the Ministry of Civil and Commercial Transport has invested money in building a clean and fast road network, railways complete with mainly straight line routes and tilting track on the corners to help speed up rail traffic, fast and efficient port control and a carefully thought out and modern air transport link-up.

Roads

Due to only encouragement, not pressure by the government to invest in economical vehicles, personal transport is preferred, cars are strictly monitored, and only certain types are allowed, all must be of acceptable standards in maintenance. Ugly appearing cars are penalised with higher taxes, some are even illegal. The road network in Aliquantus is extensive and is the most popular method of transportation. A high-speed road system has ensured less congestion. There is no maximum speed limit, the motorways have four or five lanes to travel in depending on how fast you wish to travel and this increases the unlikelihood of congestion. Bus lanes were on the agenda of the Ministry of Civil and Commercial Transport but the plans were scrapped as Bus lanes caused congestion and busses are an unpopular choice transport.

Railways

There is an underground rail system that runs throughout the city, except in the areas submerged

Air Transport

Air transport is immense; Lions gate international airport is one of the busiest in existence. The largest airline in Aliquantus is Excelsior Airways, who operate long-distance flights from Aliquantus to destinations all over the globe. There are only two other airline companies based in Aliquantus, Air Aliquantus and Veni, vidi, vadi. International Airports include: Lions gate International Airport, Aliquantus City (AXLZ-LGA)

Water

Sea travel is the main route for importing and exporting goods, approximately 95% of freight enters Aliquantus by sea (75% by value). A major port handles the freight traffic, Queen’s Free Trade Port. There are other ports and harbours around Aliquantus. Many citizens own a private motor boat; swimming is classed as a national addiction, although it is only thought of as a sport when international games are held. In the south-east of Aliquantus the water is so clean and clear that people swim instead of walk to travel short distances. Clean electric motor and rowing boats replace cars.

Military

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">

Female soldiers account for 90% of the Aliquancian Military personnel.

</div> Aliquantus has a small standing military, the nations military is based around its medium sized navy. The Aliquancian military trains and deploys females mainly because of Aliquantus’s gender imbalance making it hard to obtain male recruits, females have proven to be better in certain roles. Aliquantus trains soldiers through a lethal program of trial and adaption and only accepts the most acceptable recruits. The force works along side the Secret Operations Executive to protect the nation’s interests and sovereignty. The military is direct property of the Empress.

 ==History==
-Aliquantus was once home to an ancient settlement that little is known about, evidence supports the claim that the islands where similar to Atlantis. Audeamus was destroyed by a flood and was not discovered until 1506 by the British Royal Navy. It was certainly known by 1511, when Royal Navy charters published a full map of the island, which mentioned the discovery with the explorer Captain Angus Tavern shouting "Audeamus" or "let us dare", the island was also included on Spanish charts of this year. Both Spanish and Portuguese ships used the islands as a replenishment spot for fresh meat and water. The island was explored by British soldiers and sailors in the late 1510s; the south of the island was attributed with storm-wracked conditions, stopping them finding the Terra incognita islands until 1521. King James I of England and VI of Scotland, who granted a Royal Charter to The Virginia Company was pleased to find that Audeamus was a large island and began ordering the habitation of the island. The during American Revolution the island was used as a staging post and by the end of the eighteenth century, with seafaring being the only real industry, at least a third of the island's manpower was at sea at any one time. Audeamians deforested their landscape to begin the salt trade that would become the world's largest, and remained the cornerstone of Audeamus's economy for the next century. The colony provided soldiers during the two world wars. Following British colonial rule in 1945, the country became independent and incorporated the Terra incognita islands as part of the country, forming The Kingdom of Aliquantus and ordered the habitation of the island of Tuebor. The people then voted the then governing family as King and Queen who were descendants of the first family living on Audeamus, the king and queen immediately started to cull the citizens they believed to have unacceptable appearance, there was due to be an uprising by the population but to regain acceptance the Royalty had their two ugliest children killed, showing such a hard line against none beautiful people, even their own children, worked. For another one hundred and forty years the country’s issues and history was not written as all of the historians were killed. It is thought that the people lived in a kind of social bliss, fornication was wildly out of control, it is argued that this is the reason why the population swelled. The culling stopped in the start of the nineteen nineties; the Cold War restrained other countries interfering with the issues. Recent history includes the country changing once more, the King is old, his daughters will become joint heads of state and both are known for their extreme following of the tradition of a sexually orientated lifestyle. The Princesses posing semi-nude together on a sofa cemented outsiders views that the two becoming leaders will imbalance the world morally. However outside pressure is nonexistent, the death because of appearance killings may return. In early 2007; trias politica or "separation of powers" was enforced by the King’s military, pressured into the position by the princesses the act introduces law where the monarch will handle social and cultural issues and hold overall power of the country, leaving the economy and other issues in control of His Majesty the Kings Government. The country if now flourishing and has become a benchmark country in science and future technology.
+Aliquantus was originally an ainchent settlement similar to the mythical island of Atlantis, the island was flooded by an underwater volcaino witch boiled the water as it submerged the island, the population either burned or drowned. It was then discovered by Godiva, captain of the ship 'Rapier' who was a female British buccaneer. After beaching, she built a settlement and her crew named it Godiva, after her. After selling the location of the Island to British charters traders began using the island as shelter and to replenish meat and water stores wile trading in the process. In 1625 French and Spanish settlers arrived to the north of the island after initially planning to settle elsewhere. The French and Spanish settlers were attacked in 1629 by the Royal Navy, the French retreated and the Spanish where forced from the island. The British where successful and captured the northern settlements on the island, expelling the French and Spanish civilians. The British renamed the settlement Essex and also named the island Aliquantus. The French then returned to take the fort but retreated after resistance by the British who had expanded on the fortifications. A year after the British had landed, travlers from Essex found Godiva's settlement and after negotiations, the British gained sovereignty of the whole island with Godiva as the Governor. From 1630 onward, the island of Aliquantus was divided into free trade areas and British colonies allowing buccaneers to use the island more frequently as their main base of operations. In the same year, the Spanish returned to trade with the British and to keep the peace the British pirates were ordered to leave, but the order was blocked by Godiva. She was to be removed from governing if she did not comply, only for the Spanish to leave again allowing the pirates to stay. In 1633, the Spanish again returned to take the island but failed after heavy losses, this enraged the Spanish who returned with a far larger force backed by the French. Facing three thousand Spanish and French soldiers was the British garrison of only two hunderd men. As the attcking forces ammassed outside Essex, [[Wikipedia:Lady Godiva|Godiva rode along the battle line naked]] in order to pospone the attack until the next day at the request of the Spanish general. This was so the British ship HMS Saracen could unload weapons and ammunition for the civilians to fight the attackers with. The battle ended with a decisive victory for the defenders and for its actions, a town was named after HMS Saracen, the town was then the garrison for British troops.
+By 1640, the British left and buccaneers claimed power of Aliquantus under Godiva as their Queen. The pirate population was mostly made up of British citizens. In 1645 Godiva was killed by a gunshot during a battle against a Spanish warship, her daughter Eva became queen at the age of seventeen. Due to her death most of the citizens began to revolt and in an attempt to bring harmony and control over the island, the Queen Eva imported roughly 3,000 prostitutes from nabouring islands, hoping to regularize the unruly pirates' lives. By the year 1670, as the buccaneer era was in decline, many of the pirates, seeking a new source of trade, turned to work as lumberjacks, metalsmith's and traders from the island. At this time, however, a British pirate named James Gaffa partnered with the Queen and started to advertise Aliquantus and invite the pirates on the island of Aliquantus to set sail under their leadership. They created a striking force that allowed pirates to have a much stronger hold on the region. Consequently the first Aliquancian navy was built. In 1675, the governors office was demolished and the first Royal Palace was built. After the import of prostitutes the female population had oversteped the male population considerably, fornication was wildly out of control and added to the growth of the island. The island was fully under control of Queen Tidal of the House of Scythe in 1737. She braught order to Aliquantus with her soldiers and in 1745 after eight years building the country she ordered the building of the first Crown Jewels. It was built from the large collection of loot that had been dormant since the navy was formed.
 ==Geography==
-{{Image|http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w109/Orexins/ISLAND0012.jpg|right|Trein|Gova cliff face to the south of Audeamus.}}Mediterranean based: Hot climate, flourishing plant life from underground complex of loose brick tunnels running throughout the land that are fed by the sea. Audeamus is Mountainous and boggy to the south.
+See, [[Geography and Territory of Aliquantus]].
-As an island nation, Aliquantus is surrounded by ocean, the immediate area of water contacting the island is known as the Leofick Sea to the north west, the Horatia Sea to the north east and the Alma Mater sea or 'Alma Mater sounds' to the south. Audeamus is the name of the largest island, named after the Royal Navy captain that first explored the island, he was warned by officers on his ship that the poor weather that was forecasted would most likely imprison them on the island, the captain ordered the ship towards the nearest beach and shouted Audeamus, Latin for “let us dare”. Tuebor is the biggest island of the Terra incognita islands to the south east of Audeamus and was recognised as an uninhabited colony, Tuebor is "I will protect" in Latin. Both colonies became independent together and formed Aliquantus as a single country.
-{{Image|http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w109/Orexins/ISLAND0013.jpg|right|Trein|Peir beach, east of the capital city, Godiva.}}Although Tuebor was once a separate colony there are no large cities on the Terra incognita islands, the village of Ubi sunt houses the largest concentration on Tuebor with a suspected population of nine hundred. The city of Atlanti and its joining city of Oceana are flooded and are named after the Atlantic Ocean; the water is purified partly because the entire area is rock and solid stone. The buildings are mainly made of limestone and marble, decorated with Turquoise, Chryscolla and Malachite gems and are enforced to not change.
-Due to the layout and large size of housing, most Aliquantus live in developed areas.

Permanent housing is restricted by law to be large, the minimum size a modern house can be is laid out is based around a large four bedroom family house template set by the Government. This was once a problem, space needed for so many large houses, single houses were largely replaced by condo style housing, each sharing a large social area with a swimming pool, the stacked housing and social area would replace the obsolete single house and single garden (yard). This type of housing enabled large housing and also enabled several families to share and live around a single area, each complex and attaching gardens is known as ‘ite domum’, pronounced ‘Iti-domm’

+Education in Aliquantus is controlled by the Ministry of Public Education, headed by the Education Minister, Lady Latis. Pass levels are high; the level of financial support it receives is on the rise. Being that the sexually orientated culture can inflict sexually transmitted diseases, sex education is practised more in Aliquantus than in any other known nation. Language and Literature is of high quality, schooling of language keeps Latin and English on a parallel setting and both are used for convocation. Strangely enough, the nation produces citizens with a higher IQ and common sense ability than most nations although maths education such as algebra is sacrificed; maths is a practised form of education however and Roman Numerals replace standard numbers. Education starts at the age of three, mainly influenced by the British schooling system. Nursery school introduces children to education at the age of three; Primary school lasts from four to ten years and then Secondary school from ten years to sixteen years of age. Collage is not compulsory; passing secondary school education is comparable to a collage degree in other nations. Further education in collage is expense paid by the government although university is a private investment. Education is based around teaching practical lessons, schooling that will be used in a work related or social environment is preferred than trying to teach a teenager brain surgery.

 ===Roads===
-Due to only encouragement, not pressure by the government to invest in economical vehicles, personal transport is preferred, cars are strictly monitored, and only certain types are allowed, all must be of acceptable standards in maintenance. Ugly appearing cars are penalised with higher taxes, some are even illegal. The road network in Aliquantus is extensive, with around 46,000km of road, and the most popular method of transportation. A high-speed motorway system, the expansion of the road network was constructed from the 1990s and continues, it links all major cities with high-speed motorways and links to every settlement in the country. The maximum speed unlimited, the motorways have four or five lanes to travel in depending on how fast you wish to travel, this increases the unlikelihood of congestion. Bus lanes were on the agenda of the Ministry of Civil and Commercial Transport but the plans were scrapped as Bus lanes caused congestion and busses are an unpopular choice transport.

-Sea travel is the main route for importing and exporting goods, approximately 95% of freight enters Aliquantus by sea (75% by value). Three major ports handle most freight traffic with the largest being Essex Deep dock and Essex free-trade Port, both are in New Essex. There are many other ports and harbours around Aliquantus.  Many citizens own a private motor boat; swimming is classed as a national addiction, although it is not thought of as a sport. In the city of Atlanti and its connecting city, Oceana, the water is so clean and clear that people swim to get around. Clean electric motor and rowing boats replace cars.

The Aliquancian military trains and deploys females mainly because of Aliquantus’s gender imbalance making it hard to obtain male recruits, females have proven to be better in certain roles. Aliquantus trains soldiers through a lethal program of trial and adaption and only accepts the most acceptable recruits. The force works along side the Secret Operations Executive to protect the nation’s interests and sovereignty. The military is direct property of the Empress.
