Introduction

Friendly Aliens is a nation consisting of many different alien cultures, which all share the same views concerning the environment and peaceful conduct.

The events that led to the eventual crash landing into the Alliance of Honourable Peoples have now become to be known as the Friendly Aliens Exodus.

It must be known that these events have changed the ways Friendly Aliens feel about their values therefore it is justified to believe that they may not be following the same principles that they were founded upon.

The Friendly Aliens crash landed at about 1943 into the Northern Continent with its massive StarSearcher colony ship. It was luckily in an area mostly unexplored at the time and it was a good six months before contact between Friendly Aliens and Humans began. At which time plans for Friendly Alien's first city Planetfall City was well under development. The shock of such magnificence was probably the reason why first relations were so traumatic. When the Super Roman expeditionary force first discovered Planetfall and its population they fired in the air believing the aliens to be hostile, scaring the survivors back into the wrecked ship. However Commander Tyrranus V told all of his men to hold fire. The leader of Friendly Aliens and the Commander of the Super Roman Expedition met and good communication developed quickly.

About half a year later the leader of the Friendly Aliens visited Sparta to speak with the Imperator about the current situation. Super Rome was currently experiencing hostilities with Julius Caesar III, Friendly Aliens was not about to enter war a few years after coming to the Alliance but they did understand that they did have an obligation to help. Therefore the Friendly Aliens offered technology and support as well as offering military forces to defend Super Roman territory but not to attack.

With the tension with Julius Caesar III over Friendly Alien-Super Roman Relations had boosted considerably leading to an official declaration of borders and trade agreements. Also Friendly Aliens got officially introduced to the governments of surrounding nations like McPsychoville and the governments of the economically strong western continent like Kegmenistan and Jihad Allah or Durkistan. The relationship between Friendly Aliens and Jihad Allah was to become particularly strong.

Over the following years the country started to develop with other super cities like Planetfall being constructed. Dawnea was founded in the south east to be the main city to meet foreigners from the northern continent but due to the lack of natural water supplies this was to be the smallest of the new super cities. Xeno was founded in the south-west and was planned to be the main cultural city in Friendly Aliens. Finally Hydro was created to be the main harbour city of the nation and it has the ability to attend to over 1000 super tankers and 2000 smaller cargo vessels. To conserve the environment, land which wasn't set aside of farming and conservation was turned into massive solar fields. This has created the distinctive landscape of Friendly Aliens with one exception.

Due to the seismic disturbances caused by the crash of the StarSearcher. Vast amounts of uranium rich veins of rock have come to the surface of the landscape creating vast caverns full of harmful radioactive ions. This has caused predictable changes to the landscape near these caverns including mutation of local flora and fauna. However radiation also has a positive affect on the Friendly Aliens all species that enter the area with this effect makes the Aliens effectively 'high' it is caused by hormones being released from their brains. This has lead to vast numbers of Friendly Aliens taking residence near these caverns and becoming mutated. The mutation has had different effects on different Aliens but some of the main ones have been categorised in the Mutation Database.

Friendly Aliens used to be a peaceful nation however after the sabotage to the StarSearcher Friendly Aliens has become bitter and realised even though they believe and understand the values of peace other civilisations do not and will not give mercy. Therefore Friendly Aliens has developed a sizeable army which is one of the most well funded in the whole Alliance. It is mostly based around air attack. More can be found out in the Friendly Aliens Military article.

Friendly Aliens is lead by a single leader who was elected at the first few days of the Planetfall landing, he is called BazZeRg. BazZeRg was on the StarSearcher the equivalent to the First Mate the officer directly below the Captain. He was directly involved in the plan to save as many Aliens as possible before the crash by putting them inside the spaces left vacant by the purged drive. With the plan being a success the survivors elected him as their leader (the Captain died during the crash). BazZeRg is the Commander in Chief of the Friendly Aliens Armed Forces and he approves and disapproves laws which are put forward by the council elect which is about 500 hundred Aliens in size (100 for each super city except 200 for Planetfall). Anyone who protests against the rule of BazZeRg is entitled to their own opinion however those who are violent and start mass riots due to their indifference are punished severely.

Friendly Aliens leading industry is in Information Technology which takes full advantage of Friendly Aliens' expert research and development and after that is the Arms Manufacturing Industry which is strong because it develops all the weapons for the Friendly Aliens Armed Forces which are exclusive to the nation.

Friendly Aliens has undertook some daring spacial project with the help of mainly Jihad Allah. Firstly Friendly Aliens developed the Alliance's first Stellar Solar Array with the help of Jihad Allah, Super Rome and McPsychoville. Due to the success of the array Friendly Aliens helped Jihad Allah develop it's Defence Platforms. Then Jihad Allah helped Friendly Aliens in the creation of the Nebula Space Station. The relationship between Friendly Aliens and Jihad Allah had become very strong since that time due to these projects.

During the year of 2006 Friendly Aliens participated in the Southern Gulf War, committing about 80% of its armed forces to the cause. The war ended with The Battle of Perpendiculum, a massive orbital battle which ensured air and space superiority over the Alliance. Literally weeks after the battle the war was drawing to a close and Friendly Aliens completely withdrew its forces from the region except for a few Orions which still patrol the old war zone (mainly for the best interests of Yew Island, which Friendly Aliens protects under the Jet Treaty).

With the extreme boost in economic development in the nation (due to intelligent economic reforms and the claim of salvage after the great space battle) the Stellar Scaffold undertook the construction of the Faal-Corum, this ship left for its voyage on the 1st of December 2006 and the time it is expected to return is uncertain.

On the dawn of the year 2007 the Alpha Empire scout ship "Starscream" made an unsuccessful attack on Friendly Aliens in an attempt to kill the leadership of Friendly Aliens in preparation for an extermination fleet (Battle Report). However with the co operation of Super Rome and Roudland the attack was repelled and the Alpha Empire Spies that landed in Planetfall were defeated by F. Alien guard. After this conflict BazZeRg thought it was fitting to create a guardian company with a task to protect Planetfall City (especially the Government District) this was to be called the Immortal Company.

Average Family Size- 1.5 children/matriarch

Literacy- Total=100%

Education

Compulsory education starts at four years old so that children have plenty of time developing motor functions and speech. All children must attend primary school to learn basic language skills (reading and writing), maths, science and ICT. These schools are dotted all over the super cities and are all privately owned however public grants are given to each so that charges are kept to a minimum. School days last for six hours between 10:00 to 16:00 with one hour of break. After passing an exam in all of these subjects children are allowed to graduate into secondary education which continues at home.

Taking advantage of Friendly Aliens' state owned internet service providers, children stay at home to learn in interactive classrooms to learn: further science, maths, language skills and ICT.

Each child in the country logs in with voice recognition software, those who are absent from the interactive class without a valid excuse will have a hefty fine sent to the offenders parents. Then at the end of a course the child moves forward going up in levels (each level takes about 4/5th of a year).

An interactive class lasts approximately an hour and there are only 6 interactive classes a day. After the day is over the children are free to do as they wish however it is common place for the children to meet on their local commons and play sports with their friends from primary school or their interactive classroom.

After level 6 children are free to finish attending the interactive classrooms and to start working. However they can continue to learn about any subject they want in advancing levels till they attain a ranking similar to a degree (level 10).

Finally anyone who reaches level 10 will be able to attend world renown universities around the Alliance to learn further.

This method of teaching is very cheap and the money saved is reinvested into refining the teaching given in the interactive classrooms. Also the money saved is used to make sure every single family in Friendly Aliens has the internet (grants given to low income families).

Healthcare

If you are seriously ill in Friendly Aliens, like any Alliance nation you can rush to the hospital to receive medical treatment from trained doctors and nurses.

However if you have a minor condition you don't go to a G.P, you use the internet. You log into an interactive doctor program, type in your symptoms and the doctor will either prescribe medication or ask you to see a doctor in a hospital.

Also there are first aiders and ambulances all over the super cities. Ready to help encase there is an accident where ever they are needed.

All citizens are required to arrange health insurance which will pay for the health costs but low income families will get insurance paid for them by the state.

Transport

Those Aliens which live in the cities are not allowed to own a car however tourists which drive from another country or those that live in the country or near Rad Cavers are allowed to drive their car anywhere in Friendly Aliens down the specially made highways except in the cities and other special areas. Cars are strictly forbidden from the cities, Aliens move around mainly in the cities by an extensive subway system but if this is not possible or it is not suitable they can move in tiny two to five seater vehicles called "Jamas" (FAS-SPC range) which can fly, these are also commonly used by agencies like the police or personally by the very wealthy. Freight is moved by large flying vehicles called "Bees" (FAS-LPFC range) which winch their load down to where it is needed, these are also used by emergency services. Tourists or citizens who drive in from any of the surrounding country and wish to enter the city must park their car in a park and ride car park and take the train into the city or they maybe picked up from the car park by a 'transporter' (F.A Slang for Taxi Driver) but this service is more expensive.

To move longer distances say between cities, into the country or to go abroad Aliens fly with Friendly Alien's number one air travel company Friendly Alienways, for transport between cities and countries they take the larger Alienways passenger jets but for shuttle services into low demand areas (normally into the country), customers takes more lighter passenger aircraft to save resources.

Alternatively Aliens can travel via a train service, Friendly Aliens employ the use of maglev trains between cities and to and from major destinations like to the new super arenas like the Vector Arena, these futuristic trains are run by Neuropa Futuretech.

Popular Culture

Friendly Aliens enjoys all sports which have been introduced to them since Planetfall especially Ice Hockey from McPschoville. Friendly Aliens has a large official national ice hockey league and smaller national leagues in other sports. The teams consist on Aliens from districts inside the super cities for example the Planetfall Eastside Tanks and the Dawnia Gamma District Devils. Once every two years an international ice hockey tournament involving Friendly Aliens and McPschovilles's best ice hockey teams compete for the 'Frosty Cup'. The construction of the Vector Arena has been completed in northern Friendly Aliens. This arena is the stadium for all international events in Friendly Aliens and the first official arena for UAR in Friendly Aliens. Currently a second is under construction, the Costa Aurora Arena situated on the southern coast of Friendly Aliens.

Friendly Aliens art follows a pattern called symbiosis, symbiosis art involves the moulding of patterns and random designs to make art with a theme of chaos and order which represents the mind. Friendly Aliens has many pictures of symbiosis art which were drawn by current artists and these are hung with great pride in Xeno's many art galleries with those that survived the crash of the StarSearcher. After Planetfall with the start of legal drug taking a second form of art started to develop called Smash: novels, paintings and songs all made under the influence of drugs have come up and taken a place in the hearts of many Friendly Alien citizens. Dance also has a major impact on Friendly Aliens, for recreation on the StarSearch Aliens practised Capoeira and after Planetfall the dance spread over the whole Alliance. Friendly Aliens also appreciates the fine art of all other types of dance.

Friendly Aliens has only 5 state run television channels which shows mainly news and financial information. For televised entertainment Friendly Aliens mainly watches programs imported from Roudland, Gothria and Jihad Allah. However Friendly Aliens enjoys making its own films and shows them in the cities massive cinemas. Xeno has a pedigree of famous actors and directors. Most of Friendly Aliens films are pornographic or about computer games however some high budget gems have been created including Exodus and The Dire Master which is based on Friendly Alien legend.

Economy

Friendly Aliens has a huge Arms Manufacturing industry mainly due to the fact that Friendly Aliens uses almost all Friendly Alien exclusive products.

Including the Arms Manufacturing Industry (dominated by Milagro Miltech), Friendly Aliens has the Alliance's largest Airtravel/Technology company already mentioned before Friendly Alienways. Also due to the significant amount of government focus on research and development Friendly Aliens also boasts the Alliance's largest Drugs Company (Friendly Meds) and Biological Research Society (FABS). The FABS is world renown for starting and completing the Human and Alien Geonome project which was finished officially in 2004.

Another well funded national run organisation the FANRI (Friendly Alien National Research Institute) is the Alliance's Largest Research Company. It researches everything which isn't already covered by the FABS, Friendly Meds and Friendly Alienways. This can include defence technologies, mechanical technology, energy technology etc etc. The FANRI recruits scientists from all over Alliance to assist with research in special divisions, these are mainly Roudland and Yew Island scientists. The Yew Island scientists were acquired under the Jet Treat of 2005 and they are helping with mainly mechanical research whilst the Roudland scientists are helping with defence research.

Friendly Aliens imports very little and prefers to create all it needs from home. This provides plenty of jobs and it makes Friendly Aliens enjoy a very healthy trade surplus.
