Super-power is a Postmodern Tech nation of the Libertarian region.

Government

Super-power's government is a semi-Federal system where power is shared between state and Federal authorities, and currently leans towards state sovereignty. Based off of libertarian principles, the Federal government holds the responsibility of defence, foregin policy, and maintenance of inter-state infrastructure.

The Federal government is divided between a lawmaking branch, an executive branch, and judicial interpreters. Said judiciaries maintain strict constructionism of Super-power's Constitution. Super-power boasts both extremely small state and Federal governments of about 1 official per 3000 citizens.

Military

There are four brances of Super-power's military: Army, Navy, Air Force, and Spacial.

Super-power's army, air force, and spacial military uses advanced weapons known mobile suits, 15-meter tall robotic technology equipped with various beam and bullet weapons. The two current models are the transformable MSZ-006A1 Z Plus A1 and MSZ-006 Z Plus C1. They both have replaced the older non-transformable M1 and M1a Astray MSes.

There is little difference between the two, aside from the C1's construction to operate in space and the A1's ability to operate in air.

Super-power also has two special forces MSes. The Victory and V2 Gundam utilizes two more important pieces of technology - a panoramic cockpit, and a beam shield, only penetrable by the strongest VSBRs (Variable Speed Beam Rifle). Its production began when 'Project Victory' was announced, a plan to create an elite commando mobile suit unit.

There is no draft, as it would undermime the morale of the soldiers fighting in it.

Army

The Super-powerian Army consists of a ground force around 1,250,000, employing the RX-79[G]/Ez8 mobile suti series, M16 machine guns, RPG-7s, M1 Abrams Tanks, and Blackhawk helicopters. Super-power also has a burgeoning militia, with over one billion citizens carrying firearms for self-defense.

Navy and Air Force

The country's navy and air force work together to combine their military might. All carrier units house Super-power's atmospheric tranformable MS, the Z Plus A1

Orbital/Spacial

The orbital fleet was first formed as protection for Super-power's space colonies. It comprises of 25 of the 500m Reinforce-Junior class carriers, and one 300m flagship: the MSC-07 Albion. The fleet uses the Z Plus C1 as its primary sortie craft.

History

In the year Universal Century 0079, the citizens of Superpower07 became unhappy with their government, which was growing bigger and bigger by the year. And compounding this situation was the United Nations, which was forcing its corrupt socialist agenda on the country, and was depriving the nation of its soveriegnty.

Refusing to stay idle and watch, the citizens demanded that Superpower07 leave the UN and undo the socialism that was forced onto the country. However the government refused to comply. As a result, the Western half of Superpower07 seceeded to form Super-power.

Unfortunately, Superpower07 still maintained strict control over the military. But the defecting scientists brought with them the plans for victory with the mobile suit.

With the M1 Astray's mass production, the Super-power Revolutionary War began. Even with this new technology, Super-power was still far outnumbered. As a result, the League Militaire, the resistance force, adopted a hit-and-run strategy and pushing to maintain control of high ground.

With these tactics, Super-power won its war for independance and became a recognized, soveriegn libertarian nation. In its founding, the lawmakers agreed not to make the same grevious mistake of joining the UN and compromising soveriegnty.

Operation Stardust

In UC 0083, rogue members of the Superpower07 military (Delaz Fleet) in collaboration with the UN attempted to hijack a space colony and crash it into Super-power. Super-power managed to retake the colony with the help of Pschyotic Pschycos. However, as the colony's freefall was being reversed the commander of the fleet sortied in a nuclear warhead-equipped mobile suit. The suit was destroyed before it could fire its warhead, however.

Helium-3 Energy Crisis

Super-power's Jupiter Energy Fleet, on a mission to "mine" helium from Jupiter, came across of chronoscepter technology belonging to The Plutonian Empire. As they attempted to ransom the Helium back to Super-power, special forces unit Task Force Alpha joined up with TPE's military forces to retrieve the chronoscepter
