Old School Fod

Life above all else. Life is not something to impede upon. Balance is nature. Order is nature. They will come in time, hand in hand with conflict and hand in hand with discord. People with no names, whose acts went unsung. No recognition, fame or wealth. A single lesson. This lesson has no words, yet it has survived.

Geography

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.

History

Arcane Fod

Clans ruled Fod until 1400, when an armistance was reached between the rival Lords of Gabriel, Imo and Sek. This was called the Charter of the Rising Sun, which established the Holy Empire of Fod. Nyx was appointed the first Arch'Juscte of Fod in 1440. Nyx immediately drafted the GC of Fodmodmadtol, which outlined the manner in which the Empire was the be governed. This effectively established a the Nyxgol Communist Regime. Peace did not come easily. The nation saw several civil wars, the most notable The Clover Rebellion of 1740 wherein Nyx was abducted. She was never seen after the incident. Her confidant Yoshi ascended to power, ushering in the Yoshigol Socialist Regime. Yoshi was active in disassembling the Theocracy throughout her reign.

Old Fod

The infamous Massacre at the Ministry occurred on New Sun Day, 1800. This event signaled a discontent with Administration. From this point on Fod would become less Administration orientated and more Corporation orientated. An anarcho-secular movement appeared in 1802 after the Administration published "Report on Radicalism, New Sun Day 1800." People found this unsatisfactory and craved Administration reform. Yoshi consequently allowed nationalized industry to become privatized, leading to further Administration weakening. In the early 1900s, Yoshi, who served as Arch'Juscte for over a century, underwent euthanasia.

New Fod

Nokona, daughter of Yoshi, assumed power. Instantly Fod was changed. Any vestige of the Nyx or Yoshi Regime evaporated as Nokona instated a laissez faire, laissez passer policy. Administration completely dissolved, Nokona dividing it into several Corporations and installing advisors as CEOs. The Reign of the Black Sun, as it is known, spanned a decade before being usurped by TIoR forces. The TIoR occupation of Utobjj City was considered a failure, though, despite removing Nokona. A disorderly offensive soured Fod perception of TIoR. They offered no help with reconstruction.

Modern Fod

Till, speaker of the Senate, was placed into power. By this point Administration was only a shadow of itself, Corporation vesting any real authority. He attempted to salvage what was left by delcaring Jordan Lions, confidant, CEO of Kay Medical. No Corporation would dare to oppose Kay Med even as a marionette. Till was able to restore authority by creating Administration-Corporation.

Politik and Ekonomy

Over time, Fod has become an economic and political behemoth. Ekonomy is regulated strictly by Administration in order to protect the rights of the citizen. Politik is regulated by Corporation, though, in that Administration is comprised of Corporation. As in: The Minister of Peace is the CEO of Helium. The Minister of Love is the CEO of Nys. The last monarch to rule over Fod was the CEO of Kay Medical. Administration and Corporation are one in the same, thus, Fodmodmadtol Administration-Corporation.

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.

List of 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.

List of Corporations

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. Not to say they don't produce some of the finest medication ever know- But prices for what will actually work is affordable only by the elite. Kay Medical controls a system called IRC; Internet Radio Connection.

One Beacon

Kudos

Power Company which conducts business under three fronts; Jericho, Anameth, and Mehtyl. While Jericho supplies power harnessed by wind generators, Anameth supplies power harnessed by fossil fuels.

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

Nys

The Media, period. Nys publishes books under an assortment of different houses, fiction and non-fiction, with a wide range of subject matter. They also produce an intense genre of film, hosting exactly sixty channels, controlling television exclusively. Other Corporations must pass through Nys before going on air. The firm also plays host to a number of Private Schools; it's said the curriculum would have riddled the minds of Sophocles and Plato.

Helium

Large Arms Industry. Helium has, and will always, play the entire role in any Fodmodmadtol military movement.

Hewlett Packard

Spawn of 11:10 PM merger. This chain of übermarkets vend any and every food product, but only food.

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 Premierment

Cours Premierment gives children study skill, while providing lessons in social decorum. This Cours involves children and their parents, stressing the responsibility of everyone in the learning process. Curriculum includes the colors, the alphabet and the numbers. This Cours also takes learning outside the Academy.

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 childrens' rudementary knowledge, delving in an assortment of different mathematical theories, scientific methods and social studies. At this level children 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

It is required that students attend Academy Cours Troisième. It 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.
