A little slice of Falcania

Somehow, the 1.694 billion citezens of Falcania are crammed onto a tiny island and a miniscule nub of mainland in the south-east of Atlantian Oceania. Falcania has been called "One of the last bastions of pure, unsullied capitalism left in the world," and indeed this is true. Most Falcanians are hardworking, rich and cynical. The Falcanian way of life is "Work hard, reap the rewards, retire happy and rich." As such, there is little room for slackers. There is no welfare state to speak of, so in Falcania it is, quite literally, work or starve. Immigrants are welcome, provided they work. Anyone who enters the country is welcome to work, although they get less preferential treatment than natives. Any immigrant who is prepared to work hard can reap the rewards just like a native.

History of Falcania

A peaceful nation until 1950, Falcania prospered but did not make itself noticed. A rather dull country, you may say. All until April 1950, when Terranea invaded the sub-Pacific Border. Falcania was hit hard, with the Terri forcing themselves upon the country. Within a year, it was under total occupation, with the TDF [Terri Discipline Force] patrolling the streets with rights to do whatever they wanted. The TDF, also known as Blackies because of the black suits they wore, were permanently at war with the Falcanian Militia, who wanted freedom. Led by Cmmr Falcon, they fought tooth-and-nail with the Terri, and finally, on August 1 1954, they won a critical battle. Having driven the TDF to the capital Mathdon, the FM destroyed them and were victorious. Falcon was crowned King Falcon I on the battlefield.

All was great until August 1 2004, when a Terri assassin killed him whilst he was celebrating his Golden Jubilee. His son, then Cmmr Falcon II, suceeded to the throne, proclaiming his country a "free kingdom" in memory of his father.

Falcanian Military Organisation

While small, the Falcanian Army is well known for being one of the most organised in the world.

Numbers: Each squad consists of 9 privates, normally led by a sergeant, unless it is a command squad (see below). A platoon consists of 5 squads, total 50 men. A company consists of 5 platoons, or 250 men. A battalion consists of 4 companies, therefore 1,000 men. A brigade consists of 5 battalions, or 5000 men. A regiment contains 5 brigades, and 25,000 men. There are 25 regiments at present, total army strength of 625,000.

Leadership: As noted before, the vast majority of squads will be led by a sergeant. However, each level of numbers has a different level of command. A platoon is led by a lieutenant, a company by a captain, a battalion by a marshal, a brigade by a brigadier, a regiment by a general. The entire army is led by the Commander, currently Cmmr Michael Hack. Each officer has his own squad, which is the first in the level, for instance the first squad in a platoon is led by a lieutenant, the first squad in a company is led by a captain, the first squad in the first platoon first company in a battalion is led by a marshal, the first squad in the first platoon company of the first battalion in a brigade is led by a brigadier, and the first squad of the first platoon of the first company of the first battalion of the first brigade in a regiment is led by a general. The first squad in the first platoon in the first company in the first battalion in the first brigade of the King's Royal Guard regiment is led by Cmmr Hack himself.

Falcania in the Future

In 2005, Falcania invaded former Diamindokere. This nation had a high level of nuclear radiation quotient. This, combined with the nation's staple of fried falcon, caused the residents of Falcania to mutate into an avian species, Homo Sapiens Peregrinus; this first became prevalent around 2050. They were known as freaks, and hated worldwide. The Falcanian aim was to reach space. In around 2063, with the advent of Zefram Cochrane's Warp Engine, the Falcanians made a break for space. The entire race was transferred onto a small, uninhabited class M planet in the Alpha Centauri system. Dubbing the planet Falcania Prime, the Falcanians begun a happy existence.
