Fordock is a new nation started on August 26th 2007. It is socialist. It has recently begun to build and army but is for the most part peaceful. It however does take offense to breaches of what it considers rights of human dignity and if it is severe enough might get involved in a conflict or serious diplomatic exchange.

The land and it's People

Fordockians are a somewhat haughty folk. They think themselves better than many others. They are also known for arguing and have been know to have arguments that their grandchildren concluded. The land of Fordock is mostly grassland with many rivers running through. They are some large cities however pollution has been cut drastically due to new governmental programs aimed at cleaning up the air. They are situated on a peninsula with a forest at the fare north easter edge.

Fordockians are very fond of the national animal the Elephant. A wealthy family frequently has a pet elephant. The Fordockian obsession with elephants can be traced to the fact that Fordockians feel elephants represent them. Smart creatures that are accepting and have longevity but can easily destroy others if attacked or provoked.

The Forst

The current Forst exchange rate for the universal standard dollar is 1 Forst = $0.37. This is pretty good for a new nation. The people are happy. It is a copper coin with an Elephant upon it. The Forst displayed here is a modern mint. [1].

Technology

Fordock is somewhat technologically advanced. They also rely upon Nuclear power. They have not however started a nuclear weapons program.

The two biggest technologically interesting subjects being expanded upon recently are the military and ecology. Currently the military scientist's are perusing new experimental weapon designers with hexagonally shaped guns and bullets. Results have been mixed. Other than that ecologist have been very successful in reducing pollution.

Fordock's military is estimated at 67,500 (Around 0.5% of the population. Or 1/200.)

This is divided into

45,000 (1/2) in the Army. 22,500 of these are support troops (Logistics) armed with FMPM-01 guns. They also carry 2 days rations and 4 days water with them. The 22,500 actully serving are comprised of 4 different branches. Officers, Special Forces, snipers, and infantry. The breakdown being 563 (1/40 of the active Army +odd man out.) in special forces armed with whatever load out they choose, 1000 are snipers armed with and FBAR-01 with a 10x sniper scope and a FPM-01. They carry enough rations and supplies to last up to 10 days. There are 562 officers (1/40 of active troops) armed with a FPM-01. They carry little to no supplies. The remaining forces are infantry of which there are 21375 (19/20ths of active serving). These include Non-commissioned officers. They are typically carrying 3 days of rations and water with them. They are for the most part armed with FBAR-01s.

6,750 (1/10) in the Air force. 4500 (2/3) are support troops (Logistics and such) armed with FMPM-01 guns. They carry little to no rations as they are at a base. The 1000 men serving are loaded with a FPM-01 for self defense or suicide if shot down and threatened with torture. They man the 100 planes Fordock currently owns.

Weapons

Fordock has recently created a side arm for it's troops. It is know as the FPM-01 (Fordock Pistol Model 1). It is a new semi-automatic with a 15 round ejectable magazine. It is distinguished from most pistols as the barrel and the gun are hexagonally based. The ammunition used is unique but comparable in size and damage to a 9mm bullet.

Fordock uses the FBAR-01 for it's standard rifle. It is an old fashioned design with a 10 round clip. It is bolt action but carries larger .4 inches caliber to make up for this. The FBAR-01 can be fitted with a sniper scope as well as a socket bayonet. While this is and old fashioned design it is heavily resistant to weathering and still efficient. It's cheapness also makes it possible to equip every single Fordockian solider with one. [2]

Fordock has recently begun making in limited quantities the new FASM-01 or Fordockian Assault Shotgun model 1. It is a 12 gauge, pump action shotgun. It's magazine can hold 8 Shots. It can also be loaded with rubber ammo and most types of specialist ammo. [[3]]

For vehicle Crews and personal Defense Fordock has recently begun issuing limited quantities of the FMPM or Fordockian Machine Pistol model 1. This is chambered for a 20 9mm round box magazine. An odd feature of it thought is the fact it is in a Bullpup configuration. It has not been tested much and it's performance is unsure. [[4]]

1000 RPG-27 were bought recently from the World Soviet Party.

Weapon Designs are being pumped out rapidly. In development is a Squad Automatic Support Weapon as well as a carbine type SMG.

Armored Wing

The Vehicle Fordock Currently owns have been bought from DMG and are all DMG designed Vehicles or on contract to DMG.

100 Tiger Main Battle Tanks

These are the main battle tanks the Fordockians used. They are manned constantly and the pride of the newly assembled armored wing. They are used to spearhead assaults and to draw fire so that Snipers might have a shot. They have also been modified to have a platform attached so that A sqaud my sit on the tank or a sniper my put sandbags around himself on the platform and have an armored fortress carry him to where he need go. Snipers also work from on top of the tank.

400 Elusion Class Vehicles

This is the standard Transport Vessel of Fordock. It is designed to get troops quickly where they need to go without being detected and most of the time preforms admirably. A few have had a .50 cal turret attached to them. Snipers thought have the most use for them. The snipers wear a vest that deflects the screens so they appear invisible but are also in hard cover. They pop out shoot and disappear behind hard cover. It is a well used trick and has destabilized units. However it is somewhat Suicidal

150 FB-4 Bull Warrior

This is used as the Standard Heavy response unit. If a major attack happens one of these will come to the area with a squad of troops and well equipped. This can be dangerous to raids.

50 SA-1 MH-1 Annihilator

The New Fordockian artillery preforms well. They mostly use precision firing and then move to a new location.
