| − | '''The Supreme Fascist Empire of the Arctic Badlands''' (Psolglish: ''Dak Supramista Fascisti Umpirum uff Dak Arktocke Vaklok'') is a huge, safe nation, and member of [[The Dominion]]. The nation is composed of three islands, located in the arctic north. The Arctic Badlands is ruled by the fascist and very militaristic dictator Emperor [[Damian Duman]]. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The people of The Arctic Badlands are granted few rights by the corrupt, oppressive, omnipresent government. Citizens are kept under strict watch as the government waits for anyone to slip up. With the all-persusive and ruthless police force constantly roaming the nations streets, individual internet activity constantly monitored, phone-taps, and cameras watching public areas at all times, the people must remain cautious of what they say and do. Criticism of the government is forbidden. The government generally views the citizens as nothing more than mere "human resources".
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Arctic Badlands is remarkable for it's punitive tax rates. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy.

| − | =History=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For hundreds of years, Dumanville Island (the original island that now makes up part of the Arctic Badlands), were ruled by a fair & just royal family. There was a king. There was a queen. However, in 1870 things would change. A violent group known as the Green Army overthrew the both king and queen. For five months, the island was ravaged by civil war. Every member of the royal family was hunted, captured, and publicly beheaded. A new government took control. The leader of the Green Army, General Francis Duman, claimed his position as ruler of the land.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The nation would be under the control of the Duman family for the next hundred years. When one dictator died, a family memmber of their choice, would take control.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Things would begin to change during the reign of Foxx Duman. When Eric Duman died (1976), in his will his cousin Foxx was appointed as the new dictator. On his inauguration day, Foxx vowed to change the Arctic Badlands. Then, people hardly realized just how much change he would bring. One of his first acts as dictator, was to ban all private enterprise. All industries were taken over by the government. As well, at the time, the nation was in deep defecit. In only 15 months, [[Foxx Duman]] lifted the nation out of defecit and created a strong, prosporous economy.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Possibly his greatest accomplishment was expanding the nation. During the 1990's, Foxx set his sights on an island just three hundred miles south of Dumanville Island. He sent ten thousand men to take over. Of course, first they would have to conquer the poor natives. It took only two days to gain control. With the natives destroyed, colonization began. Naming it after himself, he called the island "[[Foxxania]]."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Later on, Foxx would buy the neighbouring island to the south.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | However, not long after, the aging Emperor Foxx would have to step down from power, due to his poor health. He was becoming weak, and he was suffering from serious heart disease. There was no choice, but to pick a successor. He appointed his nephew, Air Force General Damian Duman, to be the next Emperor of the Arctic Badlands.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Damian Duman was announced to be the successor in November, 2004. He was scheduled to take control a week after his public appointment as successor. However, Damian had his uncle killed in front of the people of The Arctic Badlands, thus making his reign start a week early. The murder of his uncle is believed to be symbolic, representing the death of an old era and the beginning of a new one.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Damian's first action as Emperor was the creation of the "[[Don't Like It? Too Bad!]] act, which outlawed criticism of the government. Secondly, he removed government control of industry and ban of private enterprise, which led to an economic boom. Also, he changed the nation's name to "The Supreme Fascist Empire of The Arctic Badlands".

| − | ==Governors==
| + | |
| − | Since it is not possible for the Emperor to be everwhere at once, he appoints governors to preside over a certain region of the nation. These governors basically have dictatorship power over the region they have been assigned to. However, they cannot pass any laws which contradict national law. Also, the Emperor reserves authority to alter or remove any law passed by one of his governors.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The main duty of governors is not to create laws, but rather enforce them. Governors are in charge or maintaining law & order within their region.
