The Continental Empire of Malatose is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 7.186 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology.

Most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal then most battlefields, and the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malatose's national animal is the Hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Credit.

HISTORY:

The Nation of Malatose was founded in the year 2003, during The Great Age of Formation. During these years, the nation developed both politically and economically. However, this would all come to an end. Five months later, the nation was thrown into a massive civil war. This war, mostly started by the Socialist, raged for months, until finally the Socialist won. In the wake of the Socialist victory, hundreds lay dead and thousands injured. Hundreds were also exiled and the ones that weren't were quickly executed.

The years following; however, were prosperous for Malatose. The economy continued to rise, the military grew both in numbers and in technology. But this would all come to an end with the Socialist Government tightening it's grip on the people. Hundreds of corporations were nationalized and civilians were under constant fear of being arrested by the secret police. This would continue for years, until one man decided to take a stand.

Galius Falucia, a former political officer with Imperialistic views, was exiled during the rise of the Socialist Government. During this time, he continued to plot and plan for the freedom of his people. To do this, he began to organize various organizations, the largest one being called "The Order for a free Malatose". This group mostly consisted of former Military Officers and Soldiers who had defected.

With the support of the Military and Citizens worldwide, The Socialist Government was finally overthrown in a violent two in a half year civil year. In its place, The Continental Empire of Malatose was formed, with Galius Falucia proclaiming himself Emperor. This would be an Empire that would rule for generations, giving hundreds safety and a secure society.

Imperialization:

With the rise of the Empire of Malatose, all the institutions of the old Socialist Government found themselves either dismantled or changed beyond recognition. The Senate became the Imperial Senate. The Soviat Army became the Imperial Army, and the Soviet Navy became the Imperial Navy and the four decrepit intelligence agencies of the Socialist Government were merged into Imperial Intelligence. The Palace of the People was rebuilt and expanded, becoming the Imperial Palace, eclipsing all other buildings in Lusankya. The Peoples Commission for Communism was renamed the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR).

During the first few years of the Empire, the Nation saw the single largest military buildup in history. A council of Moffs was established to more efficiently govern individual Provinces and Overseas assets of the Empire.

The former Commission for the Protection of the Republic (COMPOR) was replaced with Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). With the rise of the Empire, It started a process of stabilization and expansion of the economy. Imperialization resulted in dramatic increases in state control and centralization of economic procedures by Imperialization of commercial enterprise like VektorCorp.

Government and Politcs:

The Continental Empire of Malatose is ruled with absolute power by 1st Imperial Secretary Galius Falucia, with President Sate Thomas as President (the Head of Government) and Williane Dawn as Military Executor. The Congress of People's Deputies still exist but its was changed to the the Imperial Senate. The Imperial Senate has little power, only being able to pass meager laws. The real power is in the hands of the Moffs, like who were eventually granted direct control of their regions. The title of Moff Governor was established during the founding of the Empire. Each Moff is armed a broad mandate to monitor province government, and a force of soldiers that might be sufficient to secure their residence, maintain control in the surrounding streets, and provide protection to a few administrative personnel on detached duty. Moffs are also expected to maintain order, prevent corruption and enforce the law.

The Continental Empire of Malatose is actually more decentralized than the Soviet Communist Republics of Malatose. Provinces were grouped in Sectors. These were controlled by the Moffs who exercised power. This was in contrast to the structure of the Continental Empire of Malatose, which placed Political Commisars directly from the capital in charge of every region.

Economy:

Malatose has a very complex and diverse economy. Following the Civil War, Malatose started a process of stabilization and expansion of the economy. While dramatic increases in state control and centralization of economic procedures, it had little effect on the Economy. This was evident with the massive rise of the GDP and rise of the Imperial Currency. In order to increase Imperial Control on the economy, the Imperial Government established the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council.

The Imperial Industry and Commerce Council is composed of the presidents or chief executive officers of the Imperial nationalized corporations and groups, the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council is an organization of businesses designed to improve, secure, and further Imperial corporate interests in the economy. The Council is overseen by the Imperial Ministries of Diplomacy and Finance, both of which serve as liaisons to the Council and Empire, and are dedicated to improving the holdings of each.

Responsabilites of this Council include Purpose, Expectations, Dispensations and the Bylaws that effect this elite group.

Communications:

The Continental Empire of Malatose maintains one of the world's largest communication networks. This includes Cell Phone, Cable TV, satellite, radio and internet. This massisve influx of communications technology comes thanks to the Imperial Government's "Technological Leap Forward", which saw the Imperial Government invest heavily in the communications Industry.

Television:

The Imperial Television Network is a complex system to say the least. Cable Television is provided by Rothola Cable Systems, while Satellite TV is provided by Holonet Satellite Systems. The systems currently host over three-hundred channels, which is everything from Family Programming to Imperial Government news. Most channels are broadcast in the nations native language of Malatosian; however, others are broadcast in both English and Malatosian. It is estimated that over 95% of the population has access to Cable and Satellite TV.

Internet:

Just like Imperial Television, Imperial Internet, provided by Veriops, is considered one of the worlds most advanced systems. Malatose has currently replaced the standard cable system, and has replaced it with hundreds of miles of Fiber Optic Cables. This allows the normal everyday person to access the internet at over 100Mbit/s. For those who don't have internet access available to them, there are thousands of local internet cafes, where a person can use the internet free of charge. It is estimated that 90% of the Malatosian Population has access to the internet.

Wireless Communications:

The Empire of Malatose current communications network is operated by three companies. These three Companies, provide 7.186 billion citzens with cell phones. It is estimated that over two million Wireless Signal structures exist; however, the government, along with the three major providers refuse to confirm these claims. The current cost of maintaining such a network has reached up to four Trillion Credits; however major cost are split by the companies. Along with Cell Phones, these companies also provide citzens with Wi-fi connections, which can be used forlaptops and PDA devices.

Transportation:

The Imperial Transportation Authority is the regional transportation planning and public transportation operating agency for the Empire of Malatose. The agency develops and oversees transportation plans, policies, funding programs, and both short-term and long-range solutions that address the County's increasing mobility, accessibility and environmental needs. The Imperial Transportation Authority currently employs over 120,000 people.

Additionally, the authority partially funds sixteen municipal bus operators and a wide array of transportation projects including bikeways and pedestrian facilities, local roads and highway improvements, goods movement, Freeway Service Patrol and freeway call boxes within the Empire.

Buses and Rail Service:

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">_39981309_maglev.jpg

</div>

The Imperial Transportation Authority operates a fleet of over ten-thousand buses. Buses are designed to run a carefully timed schedule. which allows citizens to make to their destinations quickly. It is estimated that over a million people a day board the local bus services. Also, the Imperial Transportation Authority operates various surface rail services around the nation. The Empire of Malatose is currently in the process of upgraded all their major rail networks to embrace Maglev systems. Currently, 90% of the current rail services have been upgraded.

Imperial Transportation Authority also manages over one-hundred local Subway systems. Thes subway systems were designed as alternatives to those who don't want to ride the local surface rail services.

Highway System:

The highway systems of Malatose are complex to say the least. Most highways are massive 10 lane systems, which connect all the Imperial Sectors together. These massive systems were constructed by the Imperial Transportation Authority on orders from the 1st Secretary of the New Order himself. Imperial Highways have no general speed limit (though about 50% of the total length is subject to local and/or conditional limits), but the "recommended speed" is 90 mph.

In order to keep crime low and enforce the law, the Impperial Security Bureau created the Imperial Highway Security Bureau. The Highway is patrolled by unmarked police cars and motorcycles equipped with video cameras; this allows the enforcement of laws.

Air Transportation:

Aircraft Landing
</div>

Air Travel in Malatose is provided by three major carriers. Imperial Air Transportation, Eagle Transportation and Delta Air Transportation. The total number of passenger aircraft combined is over 56,000 and ridership per year is estimated at 50 million. Most of the aircraft operate from the four major airports in the country, and from the local smaller airports also.

Nationalized Imperial Corporations:

Vektor Corp

The main military gun manufacturer for the Empire, Vektor Industries constructs such formidable weapons such as the Vektor G-20 assault Rifle. Vektor Corp has won many high profile military contracts that built its reputation.

Rendili Ship Yards

Ranked as one of the high ranking companies on the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council, Rendili Ship Yards plays a important role in Malatose. Rendili Ship Yards is known for the construction of the newly popular ships such as the Leviathon-class SuperCarrier and Daedalus-class Nuclear Guided-Missile Cruiser, which bristles with a plethora of weaponry making the Empire capable of defending itself against outside invaders.

Malatosian Imperial Jet Works

One of the veteran companies of the council, Malatosian Imperial Skyworks has won notable contracts as the producer of every aircraft in the Imperial Airforces inventory such as the MF-1 Vektor and MB-1 Ghost Strategic Stealth Bomber. While Malatosian Imperial Skyworks hasn’t won a contract in awhile, the company still continues to develop new technology that continues to intrigue Imperial Military strategists.

Rothana Heavy Engineering

Rothana Heavy Engineering is responsible for the development and Production of the Drakon Multi-Launch Rocket System, Panzerhaubitze-PZH 155mm Self-Propelled Artillery System, Heinkel Infantry Fighting Vehicle, and Tsar Surface-to-Surface Missle.


Although the Imperial Industry and Commerce Council manage the four major nationlized military corporations of the Empire, there are thousands of privatized companies, which supply both civilian and military goods.

Society

The culture in Malatose is ascetic and minimalist. These aesthetics are encouraged throughout the nation by the Coalition for Progress, an arm of COMPNOR. The Imperial Government is not particularly brutal in the suppression of artistic culture, as it is primarily interested in military and political dominance. However, pressures from the New Order have left their mark on the art of the Imperial period.

The Imperial Armed Forces:

The Imperial military is the military arm of the Empire of Malatose. It is responsible for carrying out military operations throughout the world, as well as maintaining order in colonies, and protectorates. Since, the Empire's New Order was based on fear and force, the Imperial military formed a very important part of the Imperial government. The normal term of service in the Imperial Armed Forces is two years; however, a soldier can request to serve more time.

Grand Imperial Army

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">id276_Pg1_120419_image1a.jpg
Imperial Soldier
</div>

The Imperial Army is the largest branch of the Imperial Armed Forces and has primary responsibility for land-based military operations. It currently has 179,242,000 Active Personnel. The modern Imperial Army has its roots in the Free Continental Army which was formed to fight against the Communist Regime of Malatose. the Imperial Army considers itself to be an evolution of the Free Continental Army, and thus dates its inception from the origins of the Free Continental Army.

The Imperial Army is divided into various divisions that perform each job.

  • Motorized rifle troops - most numerous branch of service, that constitutes the basis of ground forces and the nucleus of their battle formations. They are equipped with powerful armament for destruction of ground-based and aerial targets, missile complexes, tanks, artillery and mortars, anti-tank guided missiles, antiaircraft missile systems and installations, effective means of reconnaissance and control.
  • Tank troops - main impact force of ground forces and the powerful means of armed struggle, intended for the solution of the most important problems in different forms of war shooting.
  • Artillery and Rocket Forces - main firepower and the most important operational means in the solution of combat problems by the crushing defeat of groupings of enemy.
  • Army aviation: intended for the direct support of the Ground Forces,

Grand Imperial Navy

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">GALACTIC_EMPIRE_LOGO.GIF
Imperial Naval Insignia
</div>

The Imperial Navy is the branch of the Imperial armed forces responsible for conducting naval operations. Its stated mission is "to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas. The Imperial Navy currently has 4,855 Surface Vessels, 400 Nuclear Attack/Guided Missile Submarines, and 89 Ballistic Submarines in Service. Active Personnel is at 5,128,750.

The Imperial Navy maintains a sizeable presence in the world. Its ability to project force onto the littoral regions of the world, engage in forward areas during peacetime, and rapidly respond to regional crises makes it an active player in Imperial Foreign Policy.

The most senior naval officer is the Grand Admiral of the Navy, who is a four-star admiral. At the same time, the Imperial Naval Grand Admiral is one of the Officers who sit at the Office of the Executor, which is the largest deliberatory body of the armed forces. The Grand Admiral is responsible for organizing, recruiting, training, and equipping the Navy so that it is ready for operation under the command of the Unified Combatant Commanders.

Imperial Airforce

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">migsmall5fb.jpg
Imperial MF-5 Air Superiority Fighter
</div>

The Imperial Airfroce is the aerospace branch of the Imperial Armed Forces. The Imperial Airforce currently has 14,200,000 Personnel on Active Duty and 35,650 Aircraft. According to the Imperial Security Act of which created the Air Force, "In general the Imperial Air Force shall include aviation forces both combat and service not otherwise assigned. It shall be organized, trained, and equipped primarily for prompt and sustained offensive and defensive air operations. The Air Force shall be responsible for the preparation of the air forces necessary for the effective prosecution of war except as otherwise assigned and, in accordance with integrated joint mobilization plans, for the expansion of the peacetime components of the Air Force to meet the needs of war."

The stated mission of the Imperial Airforce is to "deliver sovereign options for the defense of the Continental Empire of Malatose and its global interests — to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace".

Imperial Space Force

The Space Force Mission is to defend the Continental Empire of Malatose through the control and exploitation of space. Space Command makes space reliable to the warfighter (i.e. forces personnel) by continuously improving the command's ability to provide and support combat forces — assuring their access to space. In addition, the command's ICBM forces deter any adversary contemplating the use of weapons of mass destruction.

  • Space forces support involves launching satellites and other high-value payloads into space using a variety of expendable launch vehicles and operating those satellites once in the medium of space.
  • Space control ensures friendly use of space through the conduct of counterspace operations encompassing surveillance, negation, and protection.
  • Force enhancement provides weather, communications, intelligence, missile warning, and navigation. Force enhancement is support to the warfighter.

Force application involves maintaining and operating a rapid response.

Imperial Space Forces operates and supports the Imperial Global Positioning System, Defense Satellite Communications Systems Phase II and III, Defense Meteorological Support Program, Defense Support Program, DKF III and IV communications and Fleet Satellite Communications System UHF follow-on and IMPSTAR satellites. Imperial Space Force operates all launch vehicles. This includes all of the nation's primary boosters from the Eastern and Western ranges and range support for the Imperial Space Program. ISP also operates the nation's primary source of continuous, real-time solar flare warnings. The command also operates a worldwide network of satellite tracking stations to provide communications links to satellites — a system called the Imperial Satellite Control Network.

Ground-based radars used primarily for ballistic missile warning include the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, S-600 Tactical ICBM Detection System. The S.H.I.E.L.D Optical Tracking Identification Facility, Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance System, Passive Space Surveillance System, phased-array and mechanical radars provide primary space surveillance coverage.

The ICBM force (apart from the SLBMs operated by the Imperial Navy) consists of the R-45M Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that provide the critical component of Malatose's on-alert strategic forces. More than 500 ICBMs are currently on alert in reinforced concrete launch facilities.

CompForce

CompForce are the elite shock troops of the Empire, fanatically loyal and answerable directly to the 1st Secretary of the New Order and is an entirely different branch from the Army. In addition to their military role as elite troops, CompForce Troops constituted an important part of the New Order. Compforce training was accompanied by thorough indoctrination to Imperial ideology, above and beyond what the normal military was exposed to, and Compforce were closely associated with the Government itself.

Because CompForce is apart of COMPNOR, they have their own command structure, ranking system, and support facilities. A company commander could give command to any regular officer over any given squad or platoon. Their organizational manners were similar to those of the Imperial Army. They were, however, loyal only to the Emperor, and only followed orders from Imperial Army and Navy personnel at their discretion.

The basic unit of organization was the individual trooper. Each trooper is assigned a number for tactical purposes and to reinforce the Imperial ethic of uniformity. Troopers were organized into squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments and legions.

CompForce Troops go through ferocious training as a unit, which provides strong unit cohesion on the battlefield as well as a willingness to fight on despite heavy casualties. CompForce troops also provide security for the 1st Secretary of the New Order, the Capital and other important Government officials.
