Old School Fod

Fod is only an idea. The Fodist Idea is one that can be applied to anyone that values the right of Life above all else. The Fodist Idea would have no sense of actual law and order, for Life is not something to impede upon, and the Balance that is Life ordained by Aliliah favors no side. . . The only act of judgement would come if the one true Fodist Idea is broken, and that is the right of Life to all who hold it.

Politik and Ekonomy

Fodmdomadtol Administration-Corporation touts itself proudly as a Libertarian Police State. Fodmodmadtol is currently known as The Marxist Corporation of Fodmodmadtol, due only for the reason that the government and economy are one in the same, neither side pulling more control over the other. While the CEOs of Corporate make up the General Cabinet of Administration, Marxist principles are insisted on by the consumer. At some point a moderate ground was found between both and implemented. Fod has grown to become a massive economical and societal beast. However, due to constant instability in Administration-Corporation, the people who now have no say in politics are exactly that; the people. Administration-Corporation strikes down protests, unions, rallies, and girl scout troops peddling cookies; anything that is seen as a threat to stability. The people are content by still being allowed an opinion, and being allowed to voice it if the proper paperwork is presented. Even though elections for Lord Chancellor are held, they're nothing more than populist shams to appease the upstarts. If a politician falls into disfavor, it takes a small revolt coupled with an assassination to remove them from office. Not that many care; aside from the politician in question.

Dust

This topographic information is applicable to Fod Proper. Other topographic information, specifically on Fod Informal, is recorded with the Viceroy.

Sek is defined by a Highland Climate(H) of a Boreal Forest Climate(Dfc). Long, very cold winters, and short, cool summers. Weather changes rapidly on mountains, becoming colder the higher the altitude gets. Overall temperature range is very larger. Precipitation increases during summer months, although annual precipitation is still small. Plant life is composed of Mountain Riparin and Alpine with areas of Aspen.

Imo is defined by a Dry Midlatitude Climate(BS). Polar air in winter creates very cold winters, although summers can be very hot. Decent enough rainfall that keeps the land from transgressing into an arid climate, and holding it as a tall grass prairie. Flora consists mostly of Grasslands, Sagebrush, and Mountain Shrub.

Gabriel is a Moist Continental Climate(Cf). The battleground of tropical and polar air masses. Seasonal changes between summer and winter are very large. Daily temperatures also change often. Abundant precipitation falls throughout the year. It is increased in the summer season by invading tropical air masses. Cold winters are caused by polar and arctic masses moving south. Plant life varies from Ponderosa Pine, Mountain Fir, Deciduous, Wet and Dry Meadow.

Standardization

Fod Proper uses the Pkisersk Calendar, based on the movement of the Marx System, where Fod is located. The Pkisersk Calendar is divided into twelve months, each having five weeks, each having six days.

Administration

Politik of Fodmodmadtol is inherently one thing; a mess. The Governing Charter of Fodmodmadtol Administration-Corporation, once a document so precious, is now kindling in the hearth. The Lord Chancellor is the only position peacefully selected, and even then, the General Cabinet decides on who reigns. Every Ministry is lead by the CEO of a Corporation, and every Minister is part of the General Cabinet. The registered voter, registered consumer, supports whichever Minister would suit their Politik needs.

Political Movements

Corporation

From the trenches of the Ekonomy rose several Corporations which have buried any competition. Eleven in all have been created, outstanding in each of their own aspects. The Corporations hold to themselves a significant portion of the Fodmodmadtol Ekonomy, none being able to survive without one other, and none being able to grow with another. A constant battle between these behemoths creates an astonishingly stable marketplace. Lethal competition from these forces usually drives opposition into the dust within a single fiscal year. The registered consumer, registered voter, supports whichever Corporation would suit their Ekonomic needs.

Corporations of Fodmodmadtol

Kay Medical

Personal Arms Manufacturing and Medicinal Industry monolith solely responsible for the rise of Corporate in Fodmodmadtol. The Kay Medical monopoly on the health care industry ensures its stability. Almost all cheap medication produced will leave you with a bout of something else.

Kudos uses this marketing strategy to capture the demographic of the "environmentally-concerned," while still satisfying those who couldn't care less.

Nys

Education

All educational programs in Fod are regulated by the Ministry of Truth. Instructors are employed by Adminsitration and are consequently civil servants. The curriculum is the same for all Fod students in any given Cours. However, there exist specialized sections and a variety of options that students can choose. The reference for all Fodist educators is the National Truth Archive which catalogs all teaching directives. The school calender has two breaks, the month of Isis and the month of Maht, otherwise, the calender is completely uninterupted. Most students have finished their year by Bastille Day. The school calendar is standardized throughout Fod Proper.

Cours Deuxième

Academy Cours Deuxième is mandatory for children six to twelve years of age. Cours Deuxième is sectioned into two levels, Elémentaire and Préparatoire. The former is an important step in the educational process, as it is when children are introduced to reading and writing. Much akin to other educational systems, Elémentaire usually has a single teacher who instructs in many different disciplines, such as mathematics, science and history. The latter elaborates on the student's rudementary knowledge, delving in an assortment of different mathematical theories, scientific methods and social studies. At this level students are given a choice of which study they would like to pursue. An intensive culture program is also introduced at this level, which makes available a slew of artistic and creative studies.

Cours Troisième

Academy Cours Troisième continues with the knowledge base from Préparatoire into Classique. Into Cours Semester, however, the curiculum changes dramatcially. A student has mostly free roam, able to pick and choose which studies to follow. It's required that students choose studies pertinent to success.
