The Armed Republic of Crazed Marines is a hard working, hard nosed, no-nonsense but cynical type of country that firmly believes in capital and corporal punishment. The citizens of Crazed Marines are led by a President, who must be former or current military. It also has a Congress composed up of a 300 member Senate and a 750 member House of Representatives. Its Government structure is very similar to that of the USA's. Crazed Marines also has an astonishing amount of common-sense laws, especially their famous "Burglars are free-game" law stating that a home invader is open to be shot as many times as necessary or desired while the homeowner is not responsible for damages incurred. This law came three months after the compulsory gun law that made it illegal for all homes to not own a gun, save for convicted felons or the mentally unstable. Speaking of gun laws, the Constitution also states that any type of firearm is legal to own, as long as the person is not a convicted felon and is mentally stable.

Active role in Regional Defense

Crazed Marines has volunteered itself for the defense of Earth Orbit/ Landsraad. The logical step was to build a large Space Fleet that would be created by over one thousand space docks completely run by AI and nanites. This method increased production speed to 1000% efficiency compared to most earlier mechanical and human-operated plants. Next was a minefield. It started with the Barbados point-detonation mine (nuclear bomb upgraded to a disruptor charge) then the Manchurian point-defense mine (a laser point-defense system that would support the Barbados mines), next was the graviton mines (which secured against Shivians' subspace shielding as well a good trash compactor). It is currently rumored within intelligence circles that cluster-mines are soon to come as well as anti-temporal distortion devices. The President of Crazed Marines had one thing to say when regarding the minefield, "Come and test it out for yourself if you wish to die. If you don't, I suggest you move away, slowly."

Expansion into space

Crazed Marines rapidly accelerated from a 2010 tech nation to a space tech nation within ten years due to the help of New Exodus and Crystal Ireland. They activated their first colony in 2015 and launched the majority of the country into space by 2025. They have since expanded to accommodate their ever expanding population. In 2027, they announced an Orbital Stargate program along with the colonization of a new, uninhabited planet halfway between Earth and Yavin IV called Sigma Octaganus. Many see this as a step forward to trading more with CoreWorlds. There are also Fortress worlds and major military bases on other planets such as Reach, Rogan, and Elsi. In 2030 Crazed Marines and the rest of the GDA went on a "rampage", CM alone conquered twenty seven systems and destroyed three others in a spite of rage. Five of these systems are mainly asteroid derelicts used for mining, but two contain major trading hubs.

Dialect

Crazed Marines: being a mostly Southern USA nation, tends to use terms such as, "Plum", "y'all", and a few other words of Southern slang.

The Nation: "Crazed Marines", such as when responding to. It is never pronounced "Crazy Marine" or "Crazy Marines", just "Crazed Marines"

A Citizen: Always called a "Marine", never "Crazy Marine" or "Jarhead"

The Nation (possessive): Always referred to as "Crazed Marines' such-and-such), never "Crazy Marine's so-and-so".

Arts and Entertainment

Arts : The arts are frowned upon due to their lack of productivity and are generally spat upon. Entertainment : There are three major TV stations are in CM, Teuful Hounden (literally meaning devil dog, like Spike TV, always posted in blue), Foxtrot News (just like Fox IRL, green preface), and CMN (Crazed Marines News, similar in slant/ bias towards liberals to CNN, red preface). Foxtrot and Teuful Hounden are the leaders of the pack, while CMN's ratings are slipping like an unnamed, fat, white film-maker down a Louisiana mud-hole.

Entertainment : Public executions are now being shown of Teuful, and the ratings have skyrocketed. Foxtrot's main networt also has shows called, "EOD Fridays", "Machinegun Joe", and the critically acclaimed "Explodathon!" where they find clips taken from all kinds of ordinance from the previous few weeks and their effects. Video games are also popular, and holograms replaced screens and neuroscanners dominating controllers. The newest hit was Halo: Chronicles of Reach where the players get to fight the Reach campaign as any of fifty Spartans. It also has a popular online campaign and multiplayer component.
