MFUSR, an acronym meaning "Moose FOOD United Socialist Republic", is a large nation located upon the northeastern island continent of Tyr. Due to its geographical isolation, MFUSR developed a distinct culture, free from the influence of other nations. However, the nation is very active in the modern world, taking part in military ventures and global politics.

Government

MFUSR's government is a democratically-elected body of assemblymen known as "Eternals". The Eternals are MFUSR's judicial and legislative branch. They write and modify the laws of the land and deal with enforcing them as well. Eternals serve 2 year terms, but can be re-elected as many times as possible. Each of the nation's 15 provinces holds an election every two years to select an Eternal to represent them in the capital. 7 of MFUSR's territories vote during one year, while 7 different provinces elect their Eternal the next year. The exception to this rule is the territory of Zalbarg, which holds an Eternal election every year.

The leader of the Council of Eternals is the highest ranking general of MFUSR's army, the Crimson Knight. He or she is not elected, but rather promoted through the ranks of the military. Because of this appointment, the Crimson Knight usually serves until he or she wishes to retire, when a new Knight is named. The Crimson Knight presides over the Eternal's meetings, guiding the process and adding his or her imput to the ideas presented. The Crimson Knight is granted absolute control over the nation's military, but holds no true power over the ideas of the 15 man council. This restricts the general to a rather symbolic role - except during times of war.

MFUSR's Council of Eternals for the Year of 2005

• Azmar Alakain of the Province of Zalbarg
• Vespucci Othello of the Province of Nytalia
• Dazigar Maré of the Province of Midlande
• Stauffer von Marjin of the Province of Grentzel
• Lêthe Ayreon of the Province of Thrak
• Arius Lister of the Province of Oaklande
• Petrucci Melchior of the Province of Ytsez
• Stein Dackture of the Province of Bakuel
• Izlude Marius of the Province of Chaucer
• Teljuk Jark of the Province of Moratia
• Yzz Ahâz of the Province of Zog
• Tou Suigin of the Province of Rozen
• Malmsteen Jager of the Province of Röst
• Izlude Agrias of the Province of Trent
• Noin Renthal of the Province of Lespklos

There are 12 male Eternals and 3 female Eternals currently serving on the council.
Interestingly enough, two siblings, Izlude Marius and Izlude Agrias, are serving in office at the same time.

MFUSR's Crimson Knight

MFUSR's current Crimson Knight is the general Yuri Uchenko, who follows in the footsteps of the very unpopular Jethro Fren. Unlike his iron-fisted predecessor, Yuri has spearheaded campaigns for intellectual and political freedom in MFUSR. Yuri's liberalism is expected, due to the fact that he is the youngest Crimson Knight in the nation's history: 33 years old. From an early age, he devoted his life to the military. He climbed the army's ranks after serving in numerous decisive battles. His brilliant tactics caught the eyes of Jethro Fren, the current Crimson Knight at the time, and he was named to succeed the leader when he died. The population of MFUSR feared the worst when Yuri took power, but he quickly gained their favor after denouncing the man who appointed him. Yuri resides in the capital of Altair. He is currently unmarried.

Culture

Race

The Tryians

The majority of MFUSR's population (67%) trace their routes back to the nomadic Tyrian people of the continent. The Tyrians were fair-skinned with brown to black hair. Males and females were usually around 5'9" in height and 110 to 150 pounds in weight. MFUSR's modern Tyrians maintain these same proportions to this day. Unlike other ethnic groups, Tyrians do not take much pride in their tribal past, and are eager to integrate with the other cultures of the world after years of isolation.

The Drull

The second largest ethnicity (16%) in MFUSR are the Drull. These seafaring warriors were historically situated along the southern mainland's coast. In 1876 CE, the Drull landed in MFUSR's southern reigons and began a settled life. However, they remained relatively unknown to the Tryian population until the modern travel and communication technologies were developed. The Drull have a darker skin tone than the Tyrians and are built taller. Historically, the Drull have had no legal problems with being a minority group in MFUSR. However, prejudices still exist against them, especially in MFUSR's most nothern areas.

Other Races

The remainder of MFUSR's population is made up of a variety of groups. Many of these people have immigrated to the country to reap the benefits of its modern education and healthcare system. These groups tend to live in MFUSR's southern urban areas, creating diverse centers of cultural exchange.

Religion

In a political sense, MFUSR is 100% Atheist. The nation's constitution goes so far as to say There are no dieties. All military personnel and government officials are forbidden to practice any form of religion. However, organzied systems of belief are not banned from MFUSR. The citizens of MFUSR are free to practice any creed that they wish. Furthermore, schools are encouraged to teach the beliefs and histories of a variety of global religions.

In a recent poll, 19% of MFUSR's population described themselves as religious.
