A Fodmodmadtol
Fodmodmadtol is not anything, precisely. A Fod is really only an idea- An abstract thought. The Fodian ideal is one that can be applied to any People that values the right of Life above all else. The Fodian Ideal would have no sense of actual law and order, for the Life of the People is something not 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 Fodian Ideal is broken, and that is the right of Life to all who hold it.

Civil Rights- Superb; Economy- All-Consuming; Political Freedoms- Excellent
- The Imperial Federation of Fodmodmadtol is a massive, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.048 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
- It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
- Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fodmodmadtol's national animal is the Bed Badger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Byte.
Enviornment
Climate, Flora, Fauna
Fodmodmadtol North America is seperated into three major climactic ranges, The Northern, Midway, and Southern Expanse. The climate ranges are defined by the Köppen Climate Classification System.
The Northern Expanse 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.
The Midway Expanse is a Moist Cotinental 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.
The Southern Expanse 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 tallgrass prarie. Flora consists mostly of Grasslands, Sagebrush, and Mountain Shrub.

Geography
The Northern Federa Expanse stretches from Lake Eerie, to the Hudson River Valley, up along the St. Lawrence River, Catskills and Adirondack Mountains. Major water features include the coast along the Atlantic Ocean, the Finger Lakes, and the Hudson River. Many smaller streams run through the mountains, but larger rivers like the Hudson are rare. Large outcrops of Igneous and Metamorphic bedrock are abundant in this Geographic region, Glacial Till providing a rich topsoil. Rugged Mountains, Foothills, and Water features prove only 20% of the land arable.
The Southern Federa Expanse holds a coast along the Carribean Sea, situated on the Northern Extreme of South America. The terrain consists of lowlands along the coast. Deeper into the enterior of the Districts, the Guadavarus Jungle. Many streams cut through out towards Sea, irrigating and fertilizing the soil with refuse from the Guadavarus. As well, many water way connections lead to the Amazon and provide a route to the Atlantic. Minerals are rare. However, over 90% of land is arable.

"A true opinion on any matter can only be determined by searching the subject from all points of view. It is by this quote that the Governing Charter of Fodmodmadtol is made known to the World."
-Prime Minister; Yishi
The Governing Charter of Fodmodmadtol
Guaranteed to all People of the Server. For the People of the Socialist Server, in order to provide a commonwealth of the People, to insure tranquility, to insure justice, to insure protection, and insure the rights to life every citizen deserves, do ordain this Governing Charter for the Socialist Server and the United Districts over which its Federal authority falls.
Article One-
All Districts shall stand United under this charter for the common good, yet if it is evident a District believes in a reasonable difference with the Server, than that District shall be allowed to Cede from the Server and sever all ties. Each District has the right to provide for its People as the People see fit, and that shall not be hindered by Federal authority. Federal laws regarding the People will prove to be fairly feathery, as each District has the right to decide laws by which to govern by. It is assumed though, that each district under Federal Authority, shall have a void of laws and conduct a state of Anarchy. Any Federal Authority by which to seek some order within these Districts is ordained to keep the guidelines projected that are guaranteed to all People of the Server.
Article Two-
To provide a commonwealth of the People, a Server shall be established which will collect the makings of the People as a mass, and contribute it to a common stock. This common stock will be re distributed to the People as they see fit.
Section one- The People of each District have the right to speak to the Commonwealth on any issue they wish to have addressed regarding what the Server provides. This can be held on a Community level, District level, or Server level, in that successive order. In this way the People can speak directly with the Commonwealth and communicate their ideas without distortion.
Article Three-
To insure tranquility, Federal Bureaus shall be established which will coordinate all functions of the Peoples economy, to regulate and track all economic progress and recession in specific areas of the economy. These Bureaus shall be led by a Minister accepted by the People. An assembly of all Bureaus shall be dubbed the General Cabinet.
Section one- A Minister of any Bureau shall be chosen by the People, an election held whenever it is seemed necessary, and brought to the attention of the Server by the People. Elections shall be held at the Peoples discretion alone, and thus the faith of the Bureaucracy is placed.
Section two- These Bureaus shall coordinate Departments as they see fit to keep order to the economy, and organize a hierarchy within themselves to govern order of these Departments. All Departments shall report to the Bureau they are descended from.
Article Four-
To insure justice, High Courts shall be established which will settle disputes between the People, and the Nation as a whole, to regulate all moral progress and recession in general areas of society. These Courts shall consist of a Tribunal of Judges accepted by the People. An assembly of all Courts shall be dubbed The Justice.
Section one- A Judge of any Tribunal shall be chosen by the People, an election held whenever it is seemed necessary, and brought to the attention of the Server by the People. Elections shall be held at the Peoples discretion alone, and thus the faith of the High Courts are placed.
Section two- The Tribunal has District Authority to pass judgment as it sees fit; Following no Federal Code and adhering only to the guidelines projected that are guaranteed to all People of the Server; Yet a Moral System decided on the People of the District, that does not stand as a regulation but as a guideline to follow in deciding a judgment.
Section three- Any Person or People of the Server has a right to bring a case before the Courts, for judgment regarding the actions of a Second Party.
Section four- For affairs that are regarded more than Domestic, the High Courts of all Districts shall assemble in a Justice, and confer on the said matter to pass proper judgment.
Article Five-
To insure protection, the United Districts of the Server under a single Bureau, and accepted by the General Cabinet as well as the Justice, shall each provide military service for the Server in times of war. To protect the Values that the people hold close to their hearts, it is expected they come forth in time of war to aide the Server, although no mandatory drafting shall be instated to force any Person to fight for ideals which they do not believe.
Excerpts of a summary drafted by the Late Co'od Arch'Juscte Nyx
Late Ruler of East Fodmodmadtol
It is taken that the people of the Server, are to live as they choose, but not to the point where they would disrupt the life of another. It should be taken the Server is there to do what its name implies, to Serve [ the people ]. It is to coordinate the peoples economy in a way which all can benefit, and none are left out. Yes, there will be those who will try and exploit a system conceived on [ a commonwealth ], and yes they shall have to be dealt with. That is for the Courts, The People, to decide who is a Dreg. To protect the ideals that you live by, living as you see fit, it is excepted that you fight for it if times are threatening your peace, and not roll over to allow another to spear you in the heart.

Welcome to Earth.
A Citisen
The Metroliner passed quickly into the Station, halting exactly and quietly at the Platform. It's sleek, aerodynamic sides, released with a soft hiss and were opened upwards in a gull wing fashion. From either side dozens of People surged, in a systematic order, passing to and from the platform. You are among those departing. Having enjoyed a pleasant ride into the City, you disembark to the sounds of a Flutist piping a tune on the Platform; a Flutist whom is part of a Government funded orchestra. A nod spared as you make your way through the Station, itself a replica of the other Stations in commission proving it easy to navigate. Pneumatic doors part and you exit into the City. A monotonous and sterile setting, this sector is dedicated wholly to Residence. That's what you get for living in such a densely populated area- Monotony. Blocks and blocks of glass locked in a rigid grid spanned for miles in either direction, each stretch of civility the same as the last. This Station was in the Grandison Flats Building, distinguishable from the others only by it's Serial Number above the doors. Each Flat Complex had above its doors a Serial Number, consisting of twelve digits, and this was the only way to navigate by. So you turn to your left, and begin to stroll down the walk. The walk itself is a broad one, concrete, that allowed for a half dozen people to fill its breadth at any given time. The Street itself off your right shoulder is composed of Blue-Brick, White Flagstone lining the gutter on both sides. 'Tis a narrow street, wide enough for maybe two Trams, Public Transportation is a big thing in the Federation. Huge, drooping Willows are fixed in a continuos pattern along this Avenue, and that's one thing you have to give Fodia credit for- The Flora is stunning. They Willows on this Block shadowed the entire Avenue. As you make your way along, the people will wander past you carrying a distant and disconnected air, if noticed they would look up with a smile though, and greet you with a warm "Salve." Nobody in any sort of a rush. 'Tis very serene. The Worship Sector was another mile away, but it was pleasant out, so one wouldn't mind the walk. The whole idea of a Worship Sector seems ludicrous, with all Religions confined to one area, but the Federation itself is OCD. A place for everything, and everything in it's place.
