History

The Eardrum-Shattering Empire of Audio Assault's history dates back to May of 2003. The founder of AA had started out with a country called The Rogue Nation of Cemeteria. If the history books are correct, Cemeteria did not last very long.

Fast forward to March of 2004, when the founder of Cemeteria had a little more time on his hands. As he was creating this country, he was listening to an old Van Halen album (the 1st one). "Eruption" blasted out of the worn-out speakers on his computer, and the phrase "Audio Assault" jumped out of the recesses of his brain and onto the keyboard.

The Rouge Nation of Audio Assault spent the first two months of it's existence in the West Pacific. The founder remembered hearing about Axis of Absurdity back in the Cemeteria days, and decided to make for the Axis.

In Sepetmber 2004, the Rouge Nation of Audio Assault reached the half-billion population mark. This is when Audio Assault changed from a Rouge Nation to an Eardrum-Shattering Empire.

Since arriving in the Axis so many moons ago, Audio Assault has caused hearing loss from one side of the region to the other with it's incessant rock concerts. Nearly any and every rock band worthy of mention as played in AA at least a dozen times. Enormous concert arenas were built in every major city.

In August of 2007, due to conflicts of opinion with another country, Audio Assault left the Axis. Audio Assault can now be found in a region called Meddle...the name was inspired by a Pink Floyd album. To date, there is no word on if a return to the Axis of Absurdity is in the works.

Audio Assault Space Command

It seems that the powers that be in Audio Assault can't leave anything alone for very long. It's been decided that the majority of the Great Whites are being retired in favor of more sophisticated vessels. The GWAR battle cruiser is not a ship to be messed with. The Nirvana Mk II is a technologically advanced version of the old Nirvana class. The Def Leppard is a brand new interstellar starship specifically designed for deep space exploration. Non-weapon specs are available upon request.


GWAR Class (Galactica 4300):

- G-1 through G-50


Pink Floyd Class (Galactica IC-206):

Culture

The Deafening Metal Empire of Audio Assault is a weird kind of place. If anything, the culture is ever evolving. In the beginning, No one believed in wearing their hair short or throwing out those holey jeans and death metal tee-shirts. The citizens of this empire are still as weird looking and profane as ever, but the space program wrought massive irrevocable changes to Audio Assault society. The citizens are very proud of what Audio Assault Space Command has become, and anyone caught badmouthing space, Star Trek, etc., will be beaten up! It's not law, it's how the citizens feel about thier nation's space program.

Government and Miscellaneous

Audio Assault has a democratic government which elects it's president. Recently, Henry Rollins stepped down as president to become head ambassador to the Axis of Absurdity. In a close election, Senator Johnny Headbanger of the Seattle colony on Audio Assault Planet was elected to the presidency, and scruffy-haired friend, "Murder U" bassist Creep became Vice President. Ugly Sid is the go-to guy when it comes to tricked-out spaceships (or when Hampsters' Big Fuzzy Earl has his hands full). He's also the caretaker of the spaceship junkyard in sector Omega-13 and the lead mechanic on the runaway TV hit, "Pimp My Ship".

Any and all laws, tax cuts/hikes, ordinances, government salaries, etc., are voted on by the voters. English is the main language, but German is the bona fide second language.
