The Unquestioned Brilliance of Ozztopia is a small-to-medium sized nation located in the United Nations region. The nation is located inland, with other nations on all borders, including sister state, Nacion Ardiente. The entire nation is run by one man, determined to maintain order in the ways he seems fit. The nation focuses the majority of its funds into the military, the police force, and education. The capital of Ozztopia is the city of Infinitum, located in the centre of the nation. The city is built around a large fortified palace, guarded by humans, genetically-enhanced humans, cyborgs and robots. Around it is a constantly busy, densely populated metropolis, both above and below ground. Moving outward from the centre, the city thins out to more suburban and rural areas above ground, and subterranean residential communities below ground. The terrain of the nation is relatively flat, mostly due to the populous quite literally levelling mountains to find resources and continue building from the Infinitum out. However, the nations still has mountain range and rivers in tact, not for any reason except no other use has been found for the areas.

History

Origins

All records of before 12:00 am, January 1st, 2000 were destroyed by order of Overlord Rodriguez. It is illegal to mention old systems of government, the nation’s former name, or the names of cities and landmarks. Citizens refer to these times as “The burned age” and “The Old Nation/City/etc”.

The rise of Ozztopia, a.k.a. “The Ninja-Viking Uprising”

At 12:00am, January 1st, 2000, all hell broke loose in the former nation. Every power grid in the nation was cut. Minions of Rodriguez had been positioned around every military base, law enforcement agency office, airport, train station and government office. As soon as midnight struck, each of these locations were seized and destroyed with fire without warning. The former president was in the former capital city celebrating the New Year with the people, mostly for publicity and to ease the fears of Y2K. At 12:04am, the former capital was already in panic. In amongst the madness, Rodriguez walked up to the former president and swung a large battle axe into her skull. In the space of 4 minutes, the former nation’s military and police numbers had been dropped to zero, all lines of transport blocked, and leader killed. Citizens say no one saw it coming. The henchmen of Rodriguez appeared like Ninjas and tore the place up like Vikings. At 10am that morning, Rodriguez declared himself Supreme Overlord over network television. The nation was renamed Ozztopia. Order was gained through sheer force. A few resistance groups attempted to fight Rodriguez and his forces. None survived.

By 2004, the nation had completely settled and accepted the reign of Rodriguez. The occasional resistance group would pop up, only to be destroyed almost immediately, with the general public shaking their heads.

Influenza outbreak and potential war

In winter of 2007, Ozztopia had an outbreak of Influenza. Calling for aid in the form of Chicken Soup and medicine from the rest of the region, UN Resolution Keeper responded. However UN Resolution Keeper also intended to fill the streets of Ozztopia with there own Peacekeepers. Ozztopia graciously accepted the donated goods, but threatened to "shoot your peacekeepers at the border." This also sparked a show-of-arms between Ozztopia and Tihland. Ozztopia was already arming its missiles and preparing the airforce when Juskalherria stepped in and defused both sides. Unable to compete with Juskalherria, Ozztopia halted its military.

The creation of Nacion Ardiente

In 2007, the people of Ozztopia started to get riled up, demanding more civil rights and political freedom. So in an attempt to prove that the nation is better off how things are, Rodriguez had a large titanium wall built from the west border to the east border, sectioning off a quarter of the nation. On July 16th, The sectioned off land was declared an independent state, and named it Nacion Ardiente, a name poorly translated from Spanish as "Burning Nation", showing the Overlord's belief that the new nation will not survive. It was declared the people of Nacion Ardiente could run the nation however they wished, without interference from Ozztopia. Citizens of Ozztopia and Nacion Ardiente can travel between the two nations without need of passport, though there are thorough searches before one can enter Ozztopia. Citizens born of other nations still require passports or Ozztopian citizenship before they can enter Ozztopia, to prevent this group from using Nacion Ardiente as a springboard into Ozztopia.

Government

After the uprising, the government began as a "Father knows best" state. However, with the ever-growing costs of running a nation, along with the fact you can only tax a nation's citizens so much, many public services have been privatised. However, corporations performing public services are closely monitored, to make sure no one is trying to achieve any sort of power from the venture. The first use of funds go into the Military, namely the air force and satellite defence systems. All able-bodied citizens are required to join the military for a set period. Next is Law and Order, with the police force being given the very latest in technology with the permission to use it reasonably freely. On top of this, the general public are encouraged to carry firearms, and learn how to use them. This is generally done during the compulsory military service. Next, a surprising amount of funds go into education and health care. All levels of education are supported by government for anyone, as well as the populous getting free health care. The Overlord attributes this to disdain for stupid people and mild hypochondria. It is said that this, along with the fact that Ozztopia is one of the safest nations in the region, is why the citizens stay under the rule of Rodriguez. Basically if you're not learning you're working, and if you're not working (or not hard enough) you're fighting. The incarcerated are basically government property, and the government takes what they want from them, including blood and organs. The death penalty is used frequently for many kinds of offenses.

People

The population of Ozztopia consists of genetically-enhanced humans, Cybernetically-enhanced humans, and unenhanced Humans, nicknamed "Crimsons" by the population, originally named by the Genetically-enhanced for retaining their red blood, where the enhanced tend to bleed a variety of different hues. In return, the Genetically-enhanced have been labelled "Gennies". The Cyborgs have also adopted these names for the other groups. As these names are found to be in no way offensive, they are used openly in mainstream society. While there is no rivalry between the three groups, they do tend to group together for personal and business convenience. However it is not uncommon to find individuals and families living and families living in a area dominated by another group. For example, Crimsons and Gennies living in the heart of a Cyborg-dominant area. Robots are also scattered throughout the nation, though it is illegal to give a robot sentience as per the SkyNet Act of 2000. Even the most humanoid looking Robots will always be considered tools.

Crimson

Humans who have refused Genetic or Cybernetic enhancement dispite the clear physical and sensory advantages and government rebates. The majority of this group tends to feel that these enhancements are against their gods and/or against nature. While for a lot of jobs many employers will choose a Genny or a Cyborg over a Crimson without second thought, some feel that Cyborgs and Gennies rely too heavily on their enhancements, and have forgotten about intuition and basic human instincts. In the pursuit of compensating for their imperfections most have forgotten it was these imperfections that made them strive to get where they are. Companies with this belief are always sure to have at least one Crimson in high management roles, as well as other Crimsons peppered throughout all departments. Crimsons also dominate all customer service roles, but mostly because enhancements would be redundant. The majority of Crimsons live above ground.

Cyborg

Cybernetically enhanced humans. Thie ranges from biomechanical limbs to artificially enhanced senses, as well as everyday personal computing needs intergrated into the individual's mental functions, controlled by hand movements and voice command, or direct mental activity for more experienced users. Interfaces overlay vision, so its common to see a "New User" standing in public with there eyes closed for minutes at a time. Your average Cyborg is USB 2.0, Ethernet, Infrared and WiFi equipped for interfacing with computer systems and other Cyborgs. However this is rarely useful outside a Cyborg community, with most Genny and Crimson systems lacking the required software for Direct Human Interface. Cyborgs inhabit large areas of both above and below ground in fairly tight-knit communities. Few non-Cyborgs live in these areas as they have been described as "eerily quiet", with many Cyborgs using means like WiFi and the internet to communicate, even at close range. Many find natural speech slow and inefficient, with less patient Cyborgs refusing to even communicate with non-Cyborgs on occasion. Cyborgs dominate the I.T. sector, mostly out of personal interest. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to have cybernetic enahncements, except for medical reasons where its necessary for someone to continue living.
