The Nations Founder, Shaun Carver is currently the oldest living person known to man. Unseen in person now since shortly after the Nations creation, his only communication with the populace is now via the numerous giant wall screens which ornament every street corner. Rumours are abound, some saying Shaun Carver died many years ago, some say that he his held in Cryo stasis, all of which are added to whenever Shaun Carvers youthful face appears on the wall screens. Although his age is actually unknown, there are records of his business dealings which date back several centuries. What is known is that he is at least 350 years old.


When he was still young and in the public eye, Shaun Carver used is new found wealth (unknown source) and Title (Lord Carver) to expand several of his companies. Firstly Carver Securities personnel recieved military standard training, making it the most sought after security agency in the world, providing services to every nation that could afford its high rates. Secondly Carver Aviation began releasing a series of highly advanced millitary aircraft, supplying the worlds strongest nations and in turn raising their stocks levels to incredible amounts. And finally, Carver Medical announced it's revolutionary breakthroughs in Cancer Research, AIDS, Crygenics and Cybor Implants, making it the world leader in the medical and pharmaceutical marketplace.


30 years ago Carver Property began the creation of a man made island just off of the West Pacific Coast. Made from re-enforced titanium plating over a granite and resin mixture base, the island is both immune to erosion and thanks to a series of giant capacitors able to harness the static electricity from its inhabitants to power its basic functions such as lighting and polution reducers. The large tower in the centre of the island, which dominates the island from any view point, was the first structure to be built. Rumoured to be the home of Shaun Carver, it is the most fortified building on the island, if not in the world. The towers security personnel out number those of many Nations Armies, and this impressive force is also backed up by the latest in mobile artillary vehicles design by the recently founded Carver Munitions.


One Nation (now owned by Carver Industries) did attempt an attack on the island, hoping to take control of Carver Aviation and Carver Munitions. Arriving via Naval Fleet, only 1/3 of the attack force made it to the island, the rest were destroyed vy the islands numerous underground cruise missile defence silos which surround DalKorn. The missiles were launched when the fleet were over 500 miles away, proving therumours about DalKorns defensive radar grid were correct. Of the 1/3 that did make it to shore, none made it over the islands security fence, powered by 10,000 volts of electricity and backed up by a heavy machine gun turret stationed every 15 feet it's not surprising. Although showing very little interest in attacking or conquering other nations, many feel anxious over why DalKorn amasses such an arsenal. What is sure however, is that Shaun Carver does not tollerate un-invited guests.


The island itself. although actually having several city districts, is infact one large city. Carver City is split into several zones, each one housing civilians with varying amounts of wealth. Only when a family achieves a certain amount of status are they allowed to move into the more provided for and better areas. The persons residential zone also limits their job prospects, those in the lowest zones are normally given sewage cleaning or some other less favourable duty, those in the higher zones can become company shareholders, executives etc. This inturn pretty much nsures that those in the lower levels, stay in the lower levels unless they work extremely hard (sometimes to the death).


Although crime is high in DalKorn, the punishment for anything crime, including shop lifting, graffiti or treason (ie insulting Shaun Carver or any Carver Company) is death! This does not however deter people from risking all for a small profit, raising your worth raises your status which inturn makes it easier to raise your worth. In this nation money really does go to money and greed is probably the only allowed religion.


Now, DalKorn is ruled by the military forces under Shaun Carvers command. His citizens are there to ensure his businesses expand, if they do, the citizens are rewarded appropiately. Those that live on DalKorn know that if they work hard enough to achieve a higher status, they probably wont have to work very hard ever again....but those just arriving have a long hard struggle ahead of them that many dont survive.
