Chambobo only recently came into statehood under the great warlord Afagan in the region of Camajara, a small island region. For centuries it had existed, purely as a nation of people with no state to guide them. Then Afagan came around and took them to earth 6.

Geography
Total area:18,270 sq km
Chambobo is a geographically small, maritime nation. Its capital is Ñanta Orqoman on Viti Levu. The Chamboan ecosystem is pristine, with glittering, privately owned beaches and a bountiful Ocean.
The Yasawa Group is a national wild life reserve and is home to several very rare animals such as the aquatic garden snail, giant guinea pig, and the Peruvian mountain llama.
Kanji Waterfall, Tavewa
Much of Viti Levu and some of Vanua Levu is entirely urbanized to house Chambobo’s 2.6 billion population. Skyscrapers rise hundreds of feet into the air above Chambobo, only thinning out near the edges. Because of it’s density, waste removal and air quality condition are critical.
Nadi, Viti Levu
Of course the beaches are extraordinary too. Extremely strong environmental laws protect the Koro Sea from most pollution. Nevua Levu holds the most popular beachfront in Chambobo and is home to many of the wealthy of Chambobo.

Antartida
A region of frozen waste, inhabited by courageous scientists. Established long ago, this colony has come up with some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in Chamboan history. Contributing greatly to the efforts of moon colonization and other occurrences, these people are held in high esteem. Recently the technology that the government has permitted them to sell (mostly in the field of cold weather garments, robotics, biotechnology, and energy efficient architecture) has eliminated the trade deficit.
Moon Colonies
The moon colonies were a failed attempt at greatness. Struck down by LB. After making several great discoveries Afgnwrlrd died and Parliament reversed its former decision and the research ceased.
-(The official document)
To be put before Parliament:
1. Preamble: It is far past time for Humans to accomplish destiny and colonize space. This Proposal will Begin the research and eventual accomplishment of life in space. This will doubtless require much funding and time but when accomplished we will shine above the rest and be untouchable.
2. Cause: To advance humanity and Chambobo into a space age. To settle the surface of the moon and sustain a self-sufficient community 250000 miles from earth.
3. Implementation: By paying private and public groups to advance the knowledge or production of: - Space Transportation - Space Conditions - Biological Resources having to do with environmental renewal - Alternate Energy Sources - Psychology of Astronauts - Space Shuttles - Satellites
4. Projected cost: $21 per capita annually
5. Projected Implementation Time: 67 years
6. Assurance of Secrecy: Under no circumstances are any Parliamentary members permitted to disclose any information involving this document until it has already been approved by Parliament and Afgnwrlrd. You will be watched. You are not to make a copy of this document or record any piece of it on your own time or the governments.
(Some salvaged information)
Engine
The Space Ship Engine is actually a four-part launch vehicle, designed to enable the Space Ship to complete its journey. Its first stage is the external booster rockets, which, much like the terrestrially launched shuttles of the late twentieth century, are solid fuel boosters and are jettisoned when they are no longer needed. The second part to the Engine is the Space Ship's solar sail, which was designed both to use the radiation emitted from our sun and Jupiter for propulsion and to collect atomic particles for further future fuel and materials. The third part of the Engine array is the ion drive, which will harness both nuclear power and collected hydrogen to propel the craft through space, channeling high-energy particles through the Thrusters. The fourth and most externally obvious component is the hydrogen solid fuel rocket, which will be used, in the final phases of the Space Ship's travel.
Life Support
Essential to the sustenance of human life are food, water, air, and heat, and the Life Support System provides all of these things. Recycling is the key to the Space Ship's Life Support System, and no organic component is left to waste in the vessel. Computers control the collection and recycling of waste, which is injected into large vats of algae which consume the waste or processed into fertilizer for the Space Ship hydroponics garden. Both the algae and the garden provide food and oxygen for the colonists as well as for their livestock, which consist of fish, shrimp, and a particularly hearty (and tasty) breed of Peruvian Mountain llama. Extra oxygen is processed in the air filtration system, which electrically divides water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules and separates them for oxygen and fuel uses. Excess heat produced by the Fuel Cells is also absorbed into steam pipes, which are used to keep the interior the vessel warm and to separate pure water out of waste water to a 99.44% purity the Life Support System has been carefully crafted to provide indefinitely the needs the colonists as well as giving them a basis for redeveloping a food chain on the eventual place of colonization.
Origins of Chambobo
The modern Chambobo is named after an old Chamboan Empire that once rivaled in power the gods. The height of it's power (circa 2010 BC) Chambobo had holdings on several of the great islands the region including Camaja "the Jewel of Camajara"; Rishdaa, a heavily forested island; and Isha the pearl of the east. Eventually the sea god, Onan, grew angry the power of the Chamboans (who were aided the spirit Maraja who they revered and who of old had escaped the clutches of Onan) and unleashed war upon them. The Chamboans, legend tells us fought valiantly the aggressor and many of their inhuman vassals (Chambobo Island was rumored to be honeycombed with tunnels of giant crocodiles reaching lengths of 45 feet or more) fought beside those who had civilized them, but not all resisted the sea god. A faction calling themselves "the faithful" allied with Onan. With the combined strain of fighting against Gungans (called "water goblins" by Chamboans Gungans profited greatly from an alliance with Onan, and became extremely advanced but died out around 240 AD as their religion required that they have only one child, their numbers dwindled slowly for decades) on many fronts and sudden wave of pirate attacks on their coasts by pirates out of the south, Chambobo fell and the island was flooded so that every fertile Vail and field was under wave. Only in the hills and mountains did they survive, for Onan could not bring these down. They belonged to the god of earth; Okvard and he would have none of it. So the Chamboans fell from power, and their former colonies grew and prospered then fought amongst them selves or the new comers out of the south.
Political Parties
There are several political “parties” vying for control of Chambobo. And they play dirty. Really dirty.
Fe Nueva
Fe Nueva (new faith) believes in a higher law -- one in which righteousness is fire, and justice is the light that shines from it. Founded by Carlo Garcia, Fe Nueva is Chambobo’s most formidable political force. Fe Nueva is all about action -- they leave skepticism and doubt to others. Fate favored them, as it was just these traits that allow them to rise to power in the vacuum after the assassination of the Chamboan Parliament. Their absolute belief in justice makes them swift and effective in neutralizing any conflict. Supported by the local catholic church, they may be the most popular party of Chambobo.
Also Known As: The Junta
Leader: Carlo Garcia. Carlo Garcia is heralded as a prophet by the local Catholic Church and held in high esteem. Behind the scenes, Fe Nueva is governed by the remnant of the old junta.
Headquarters: Casa de Dios, Tevua. A combined fortress, barracks, and place of worship. Widely considered impregnable, Casa de Dio serves as a symbol of military might and the base of operations for the Carabineros, the division of the Junta that acts as Chambobo’s official peacekeepers.
Values: Passionate belief in law. To friends of Fe Nueva, they have unwavering faith, powerful devotion and unsurpassed generosity. To enemies, they are dangerous zealots and fascists willing to give anything for their beliefs.(9, -1)
Kunanchu
"Once you are with us, you are an equal among us. Until then, you are lost." Thus spoke the evangel Tolsimir, an agent of the Kunanchu. But the words might have been spoken by anyone in the Conclave. Depending on your point of view, the Conclave is either a selfless, nurturing, spiritual group or a brainwashing nature cult. The Kunanchu bolsters its membership through recruitment, bringing outsiders into the fold with ceaseless effort. Kunachu is made up of conglomeration of the ancient tribal cultures of Chambobo, modern environmentalism and new age spiritualism.
Also Known As: The Conclave, Inka (derogative)
Leader: Communal leadership by all members, or so the Kunanchu claims. Led by a council of "Cardnals" who over see the beaurocracy below them.
Headquaters: Vitu-Ghazi, once the oldest park in Ñanta Orqoman, it now contains the headquarters and sacred temple of the Kunanchu.
Values: Communal, spiritual and environmental, the Kunachu occasionally colaberates with Fe Nueva, but is more often content to fight their own way.(-6, 3)
Namonin
The Namonin are represented by an association of secular scientists, who believe in order and a higher society in which all people prosper. The solutions to the worlds' problems, they claim, lay not in God, but in science. To the Namonin the ideal government is a centralized, depoliticized one that will be able to enact policies without having to bend to the wishes of corporations or the people. To the Namonin, people are a statistic, not a soul.
Also known as: Rawa
Leader: Ralph Skizzit, political figurehead for the Namonin. Can act amazingly quickly in response to new developements.
Headquarters: Spyro Tower, Sigotoka. A marvel of modern engineering.
Values: Economic viability and equality. A large but efficient centralized government. Nationalist. Anti-religious. (-3,0)
Tiandihui
The Tiandihui represent business interests in Chambobo. Tianihui is only concerned in making money, often butting heads with Kunachu, and occassionally Fe Nueva. The Tiandihui contains many factions, including mega-corporations, small businesses, and even organized crime. Leadership of the Tiangihui is usually contested. The most ambitious members of Tiandihui are often jailed for illegal activity or destroyed by envious competitors before they get the chance to be leader.
Also known as: The Mob Leader: Contested. The Del Granado family is the currently leader. But Vincent Biruta has grown powerful enough to challenge them.
Headquarters: Believed to be in Ba.
Values: Money at all costs. Less government intrusion of privacy. (10, -6)
Peace and Freedom Coalition
The PFC is the leading party in Chamboan politics, mainly because it is merely a great compramise between the 4 above parties. POlice without Military, Civil Service without Communism, Secularism without radicalism, and Capitalism without Corruption. Although, not really a party This coalition has many supporters and detractors that feel it is "too compramising." Because the national assembly must have a majority party and every member must come to a consensus, the result is this.
Also known as: The Pacific League
Leader: Jose Torbino. Great grandson of Sharbat Gula, Torbino is much like his ancestor in many ways. He is perhaps sterner and less ready to try new things, however, and this incenses many Chamboans that wish for a more charismatic leader.
Headquaters: Central Building, Ñanta Orqoman.
Values: Varied. (0,0)
Structure: Centralized organization. Uses mostly legit means to elect it's members. As a wide based organization it makes sure it sets it's policies strait and keep them strait.
