The Terran Dominion of North Mack
The Terran Dominion of North Mack is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.952 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal then most battlefields, military spending is on the increase, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, and much of North Mack's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Mack's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the M-Cred.
A Violent History
North Mack has had an extremely violent hustory. Since its birth, it has been at war. The history of North Mack follows.
The Founding of North Mack
North Mack was founded by citizens fleeing the Evil Regime of the Empire of Mack. The refugees fled North, and founded a North Mack. North Mack fought for its survival, and eventually forced Mack to recognize it as a Nation of its own.
The n00b War
The first official war was when the population of North Mack was only 15 million citizens. This was The n00b War against Kyp3632. The war was a wash, and neither nation gained anything from it. The n00b war also drove North Mack to research better technologies, eventually leading to its status as an FT nation.
The Diplomatic Period
The diplomatic period was a period when North Mack began to search for allies. Durring this time, North Mack constructed several embassies, and joined the Mutual Aid Pact of Less Powerful Nations, and Founded the Commonwealth of Independant Nations.
Journey Upwards
After the Diplomatic period, having seen how other nations existed, North Mack realzed something. It needed an edge. It needed space warfare. Billions of Creds worth of funds were pored into researching InterSteller drives. First to work was the Bubble Drive, but it used a hell of a lot of energy. To counter this, The North Mack Casimir Generator, (NMCG) was created. It generated energy using space-time. A 20x20x20 fot cube could power a modern day city. The NMCG is still in use today.
The NYC Conflict
When North Mack had just joined the ranks of the FT nations, it came to the aid of one of its allies, NYC. It used a space based carrier to launch fighters assisting NYC, whose shipping lanes were being attacked and cargoes seized. When parked in orbit, the carrier was attacked by another allie of North Mack, the Forest Bread Elves. FBE had betrayed North Mack, and had kicked off the start of the Unjust War
The Unjust War
The Unjust War occurred when North Mack had around 500 million citizens. This was called the Unjust War. Forest Bread Elves had betrayed North Mack, and attacked with 4 allies (all with billion plus population) North Mack was able to survive, but lost 2 cities and an Emporer to nuclear fire before nations stepped in on North Mack's side.
The First Rebellion
The Revolution occured next. This was the first uprising of the People of North Mack, and was almost succesfull. However, in the end, the Revolution was put down and North Mack remained under Impirical control.
The Great Migration
At the end of the First Rebellion, North Mack discovered a habitable planet around the star Beta Centlet. The North Mack government decided to move ALL citizens to the New Planet. The task took 13 years. Durring that time, birth was outlawed in North Mack, and massive Population Ships were build, each capable of taking up to 2 million passengers each. With the invention of the new Shift Drive, a round trip jorney, (Loading, shift, unload, shift back) took around 2 months. The entire population of North Mack was completley transported to their new home 13 years after the start of the Great Migration. On January First, 926 Imperial Reckoning ended, and It bacame January First, 1 Post-Migration, or 1-1-1 P.M.
The Second Rebellion
The second revolution occured recently, (at 1.358 Billion population) and started with the assassination of Emporer Jackson. The rebels were more organized then last time, and took the capitol, 14 other cities, and 4 military installations before it was put down with the assistance of outside nations.
The Frenzia War
North Mack was called to assist a CIN nation, No_State_At_All in the aid of defending a nation called Frenzia, which was under attack by massive, militaristic corporations. North Mack remained involved for about a month before one of the major CIN allies, No_State_At_All, mystyriously cut all contact and trade with the outside world. Battle came to a standstill, and Frenzia signed a treaty with New Nick. The treaty involved NN getting a small section of the conquered land, a chemical arms reduction, and NN recompensing Frenzia for war damages. North Mack withdrew its troops, and the Emporer declared a victory.
The Impirical Council
North Mack is ruled by an Emporer. The emporer has the final say in all. However, whenever the emporer prepares to make a decicion concerning laws or military affairs, an Impirical Council is called. The Impirical Council, or IC, is like a senate meeting. The members of the IC attempt to pursuade the Emporer to make one decision or another. An IC has no set length, and have been recorded to last as short as five minutes, or as long as three months. The longest IC on record lasted four months and eight days.
The Class System
In North Mack, the Military is all. Consuming approximatly 50% of the budget, the Military is the heart and soul of Mackian Culture. All technology starts in the military, evry civillian must serve one year in the military, and evry government official started in the military.
North Mack has an unusual class system. In North Mack, there are only three classes. Civilians, Citizens, and Officials. A member of society can only reach the Citizen and Official class through military service.
Civilians
The basic class in North Mack is the Civilian. A civilian has only basic freedoms. They cannot participate in Impirical Councils, and are not allowed to own Citizen or Official grade housing and technology. A member of North Mack does not need to do anything to attain Civilian status.
Citizens
The next step up from Civilian is the Citizen. To become a citizen, a civilian needs to enlist in the Military (Enlist, meaning the one year of mandatory service doesnt grant Citizen status), or do something so extraordinary, that the Emporer himself grants Citizen status to the Civilian. Citizens can live in Citizen and Civilian grade houses, and have permits to own certain technologies forbidden to Civilians.
Officials
After a Citizen has ceased their sevice to the Military, they are judged by the Officials Tribunal. If the tribunal judges them worthy, they are granted Official status and can serve in government positions and jobs. If they are judged to be unworthy, they remain Citizens, and have the option to reenlist in the Military and Post-Citizens, who usually obtain jobs such as supply officers, and other non-combat jobs. Officials can live in all classes of housing, and are granted permits to own almost all technology available to North Mack. The Emporer himslef is of the Official class.
