Overview

The Galactic Federation of Cornbread Fanatics(GFCF) is a massive, safe nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.727 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. The nation excels in the Information Technology industry and was the former U.N Delegate for Razgriz Region. Colonies of Cornbread Fanatics are the nations Onmium and Northern Petrol, while Beyond Coast is its first space colony.

History

During the dawn of the 20th Century, Razgriz Region was suffering through a depression of some sorts. Crime rates were at an all time high, death rates were increasing, and the economy was in trouble for all the nations in the region. Some percentage of the population in each of the nations in Razgriz Region decided to head to an unexplored part of the region and start a new life. This was the beginning of Cornbread Fanatics. At first, life was hard, with the risk of invasion from one of the old nations and other problems, but in time, the nation grew and progressed. By 1985, the nation had a great Information Technology industry, superb civil rights, and superb political freedoms. By that time, the population was about 300,000,000. Two groups of people in the nation, the civil right and political freedom activists Onmium, and the capitalist group Northern Petrol, asked for permission to create colonies in the northeastern part of Razgriz Region. The government granted permission for them to create colonies and by 1990, the two colonies Onmium and Northern Petrol were flourishing and expanding enough for them to be nations. By 1999, it seems like Cornbread Fanatics was in its greatest form. Great political freedoms, civil rights, the trade surplus in its highest peak, the Zollar going strong, and no wars were happening in the region. But after 1999 came the Great Collapse. During The Great Collapse in the region was numerous wars among the nations, anarchy, crime, poor economy, and so on. The Great Collapse lasted for 17 years till a group called Philanthropy came in and saved the region from total annihilation. A decade later, the nation came back to it's former glory, with the construction of the nation's first space colony, "Beyond Coast", in 2035. About 200 years later, scientists managed to create a working Fusion Reactor. With a Fusion Reactor, it is possible for Spaceships to travel long distances. Work on a colony ship began in 2335 and was completed in 2342. It was decided that the Colony Ship "Discovery" would carry a population of 300,000 and transport them to the recently discovered earth-like planet, "New North Point", to begin colonization there. It took about 15 years for the Colony Ship to arrive in "New North Point", but the mission was a success. Now today in 3021, "New North Point" has flourished into a population close to 1 Billion, and is now the capital planet of its very own system.

Economy

The economy of the GFCF is based on a Capitalist System. It excels in the Information Technology industry, though it also does well in the Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing industries. For now, 1 Universal Credit=$1.7264. Currently the Gross Domestic Product is $93.8 trillion, the GDP Per Capita is $34,402.14, and the unemployment rate is 2.66%.

Government

The GFCF is considered to be a Federation. Every summer, Senators from each state in their planet meet in the Capital of their Planet to discuss Important Matters regarding their planet, while 2 elected leaders of each planet under the rule of the GFCF meet in the Space Station "Discovery" that orbits over planet "New North Point to discuss important matters about the entire Galactic Federation. The "First Citizen" (Leader) of the entire empire is elected every 10 years by every citizen in evey planet. Information about what the First Citizen does is classifed. The current First Citizen is Erich Rinehart of Planet Jagd, one of the many Planets on the outskirts of the GFCF.

Military

Currently, data regarding the Armed Forces of the GFCF is classifed for the safety of its citizens.
