Old School Fod

Fod is not anything. Fod is only an idea- A thought. The Fodian ideal is one that can be applied to anyone that values the right of Life above all else. The Fodian Ideal 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 Fodian Ideal is broken, and that is the right of Life to all who hold it.

Politik and Ekonomy

Fodmdomadtol Administration-Corporate 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-Corporate, the people who now have no say in politics are exactly that; the people. Administration-Corporate 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 assasination to remove them from office. Not that many care; aside from the politician in question. Fodmodmadtol rests squarely on the tenent of "Order through Consumerism."

Epsilon has but a Sky of Dust

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.

Administration

Politik of Fodmodmadtol is inherently one thing; a mess. The Governing Charter of Fodmodmadtol Administration, 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

Party Leader Description Registered Voters
East Theocracy Movement Till-Aries The East Theocracy Movement is based around the teachings of Nyx, the last Arch'Juscte before the fall of the Fodmodmadtol East Theocracy. They advocate higher education spending over all sectors. The East Theocracy Movement favors more regulation and restriction on the economy, leaning towards socialism. Rights for the registered voter are considered irritants, which ironically, is what draws most support. They do however, support a system like that of a Democracy. 40%
Kay Medical Nokona Kay Medical, also known as The Buddy Capitalism Movement, has suffered loss of support after the fall of The Monarch CEO, Nokona, and has yet to fully recover. There are doubts it ever will. Kay Medical is a self promoting, egotistical regime, the priority base composed of only Kay Medical. Monopolization of the economy under Kay Medical and general apathy regarding civility are the focus of this party. 20%
Fascism Movement Ludvik The Fascism Movement advocates justice, for only the strong. The term used to identify strong is subjective to many values, but seen by the Fascism Movement as the term CEO. The Fascism Movement is agressive in every manner; Imperializtic, and Capitaliztic. Recently the Fascism Movement altered it's motto from the centuries old, "Justice for the victor," to, "Keep your eyes to look upon us." The Fascism Movement has grown increasingly volitile over the past few years, due largely to their loss of a stable base. The Fascism Movement and Kay Medical have long standing ties with one another. 20%
The First Stalin Party Madison Hilton The First Stalin Party favors iron fist control over everything. The Grand Old Party, as it is reffered to, favors Mom & Pop operations over Corporate. They also lean towards the military, fiercly supporting every aggressive action Fodmodmadtol takes, and protesting lack thereof regarding warfare at home or away. The G.O.P. has a seldom seen soft side, highlighted by their support of the Department of Cruel and Unusual Punishment. The G.O.P. denounces consumerism. Presently it focuses on silencing minorities in Fodmodmadtol. 20%

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 single handedly responsible for the rise of Corporate in Fodmodmadtol. The Kay Medical monopoly on the healthcare 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
Monopoly of the Mining and Refining Industries. Renowned for its exploitation of natural resources, and milking every drop of profit from what they dig up. Control of most, if not all domestic raw material, lays with One Beacon. One Beacon also acts as the sole supplier of utilities, ( water, oil ), in Fodmodmadtol. Rumored to be in bed with Traveler.
Traveler
Transportation Vehicle Manufacturer, ranging from 1] Trains to 2] Planes and to 3] Automobiles. Notorious for production of Vehicles which malfunction within twenty four hours of the warrantee expiration date, exacting quantity over quality. Profit yield is exceptionally high due to trendy designs aimed towards the NASCAR demographic. Have increased profit as of late by experimenting with public services.
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. Methyl is supported by the power of nuclear fission. Ironically if you support Jericho, you support Anameth as well. Kudos uses this marketing strategy to capture the demographic of the "enviornmentally-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 Sophacles and Plato.
Helium
Large Arms Industry. Helium has, and will always, play the entire role in any Fodmodmadtol military movement. Once a State Industry, Helium holds much clout with the International Corporate Community as well as with the International Administrative Community. Helium conducts business on the principle of wholesale, as factory, to only a large consumer. (Created the Administration-Corporate Fod).
Lynbrook
Lynbrook produces a wide variety of familiar goods. The Corporation itself is divided into five different storefronts. Each is dubbed, ordinarily, Lyn-Sleep, Lyn-Wash, Lyn-Cook, Lyn-Dine, and Lyn-Live. Recently, Lynbrook has expanded into office goods. Lynbrook is a name on the tongue of every family when it comes to furnishing their life.
Saint Syndicate
Security business which installs patented Safe-Systems throughout a clients contracted area. Lestat, MFS, and the infamous L-NET were produced by Saint Syndicate. Computer software, as well as hardware of outstanding quality has been created by this single Corporation. Recently they've also expanded into the area of banking, sweeping away competition in the market.
Canon Vestal
Telecommunications Firm providing slow, unreliable service for high, unreasonable prices. Cellular coverage though reaches into every isolated nook of everywhere, providing efficient service. Internet Providers based in the firm remain dominant due to the fact they come standard with any Canon Vestal PC- Prices extraordinarily cheap. Canon Vestal became famous for operating the first massive space operation in Fodmodmadtol, known as Elitist Orbit.
Amika & Company
Clothing producer and retailer, responsible for trends circulating in the teen community ranging from Everheart Bracelets to Gauge-Palm. Pop culture and gossip are inherently controlled by Amika & Company, Media Outlets including Meta Urb Television [ MUT ] and NonLocal Magazine. Amika & Company have developed a marketing technique known as One Stop. They have never replicated a storefront, each one unique.
Hewlett Packard
Spawn of 11:10 PM merger. This chain of übermarkets vend any and every food product, but only food. They've been knwon for spiking prices of goods to unreasonable heights, shouting always of Supply and Demand. HP controls every iota of the Agriculture Industry, using the Syndicated Families as its muscle in demolishing Mom and Pop Stores. HP also has a chain of popular (see:only) fast food venues, gained from the 11:10 PM merger.

A CEO Monarch

... Its a sprawling, circular room, of magnificent Old-School Imperialist opulence. Italian porcelain tile of warm earthly hues, cathedral plaster ceilings adorned in a fresco of the tortured Saint Sebastian, magnificent Corinthian columns of marvelous red rising fluted around the edges of the room, arches between to lead out onto an open verandah on all sides. In the middle of this spectacular shrine, there was a shallow circular platform, rising just a few inches above the floor in the same rich material of porcelain. In the center of this platform, there is a nest of pillows situated. Ornate, luxurious things, bold colors and creeds, indefinably variegated. Above this hangs a banner, long and white and falling to just a few feet above the arrangement of comfort, bearing- Oddly enough- The Seal of the East Fodian Theocracy. Many Servants, distinguishable by their ordinary black uniforms, hustled through this most sacrosanct area to other places within the Villa. Also, Employees, differentiated by their stiff corporate dress. A dull murmur was always masking The Great Hall, it living up to its title as a hub of the Villa. [ Being Great, and whatnot. ] The Sun, of course, looked upon this with an ordinary eye. ...
