Overview

The Empire of Nojika is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.912 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Nojika's national animal is the Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Credit.

History

The land which is called Nojika presently, has been called by this name since ancient tribes inhabited the peninsula. Nojika, which in ancient tounge means home, has a grand history filled with extreme highs and just as extreme lows.

Government

Government Type

Imperial Autocratic Dictatorship

National Government

The Empire of Nojika is ruled by its Emperor, who is currently Emperor Brakiss -- who is also the founder of the Empire. The Emperor has absolute authority over the people and the land of Nojika. And with the aid of selected individuals, he is able to maintain order in Nojika with relative ease. Emperor Brakiss chose to appoint a number of individuals to government offices, including the twelve Moffs and one Grand Moff whom serve as governors and diplomats to other nations within the region, and the members of the Inner Circle, which consists of the Emperor's most trusted and powerfull persons in Nojika.

Government Officials

Foreign Government

Currently, most foreign affairs are handled by a group of thirteen appointed individuals who serve as diplomats to the nations within their assigned district. These governors are also given full command of Nojikan military activities within their district. Of the thirteen, only one of the Moffs is given the title Grand Moff -- the Grand Moff oversees the activities of each Moff and is responsible for collecting reports from each Moff within the region and then reporting directly to the Emperor.

Politics

Since the fall of the Old Republic of Nojika, and the Emperor's rise to power, the Emperor's decision has become supreme and final in all situations. The day to day government is run by the Grand Vizier who makes many decisions for the Emperor and accepts full responsibility for all his or her decisions. Often, the Empire is considered to be very decentralized.

Sports

Football

The most popular sport in Nojika, is football, also know as soccer. The game is played both domestically and regionally and has been a huge success in recent years (at least for the Nojikan fans).

The Nojikan Premiere League

Before the establishment of the Nojikan Premiere Leauge, there was no formal football league in Nojika; but players and fans of the game were still very much into any matches a local team played. Founded shortly before the first AOCAF championship, the Nojikan Premiere League became the host to the top 20 teams in Nojika while the lesser teams face off in the 1st Division in hopes of being promoted to the Premiere League .

The National Football Team

The Nojikan football squad has yet to raise the AOCAF trophy, but are getting closer and closer to the top as each season goes by. Currently Nojika is ranked 13th in the region, amongst some of the top squads in the world, including Vilita, Starblaydia and Druida.
