Toopoxia (Russian: Tупокся Tupoksya Latin: Volitonia Folitonia), officially Corporate Empire of Toopoxia, is a Middle Eastern nation in the Democratic Union (outside colony). It borders Hydac to the North and UME to the South.

The nation covers an area of around 1,001,450 km² (386,560 square miles) and borders the Volitaian sea to the South East and lake Lunin to the south.

Toopoxia is not the most populous nation on the Earth but it enjoys a moderate size capable of influencing international events, the vast majority of people live on the banks of the Volitaia River where the capitol Volitaia sits and arable farmland can be found, a large portion of Toopoxia, especially the south, is desert land which has been made perfect for weapons testing.

Toopoxia is made famous for the mysterious Volitaian race who owned the territory before Toopoxia, there are temples and structures still remaining from this civilisation which has boosted the tourist industry into a major source of economy.

History

Full Article: History of Toopoxia

Volitaia was first settled 6,000 years before christ, the nation in those days thrived from the fertile lands laying around the Nile and the Empire boomed because of it, almost 4,000 years after its inception the empire crumbled for the first time due to droughts and a poor leader, Volitaia then reformed a few hundred years later only to be ripped apart by the rival nation of Hykozia to the North, the Hykozians themselves collapsed turning Volitaia again into a warzone.

The territory was then colonised again, by far Eastern travellers seeking a new home, at around 212 AD, this new nation brought about a far more democratic rule over the province proclaiming themselves a Republic, the rest of the Volitaia region was slowly colonised by various Romantic apeaking tribes who slowly became Toopoxican in name over the years as bloodlines mixed and now it was impossible to find a pureblooded Toopoxican/Latino/Volitaian amongst the crowds of immagrants.

During the Middle Ages the Toopoxicans steamed ahead in technology and exploration, by the year 1421 it is rumoured that the Volitaians had made contact with over 65 new nations not bordering themselves, around this time the Toopoxicans made advances in the discovery of gunpowder from Asia which pushed ahead the stale Toopoxican Armed forces, skip ahead 200 years and the Toopoxicans had a standing army, steam engines and were a major trading power.

The Industrial revolution hit the ground running in Toopoxia, the Eastern and southern areas of the nation pushing ahead in productivity, in 1862 the Toopoxican Organisation was created to secure overseas provinces in order to cut down on importing costs, the early years of this Organisation were highly sucsessful until the discovery of Electricity reduced the need for Coal which made the Organisation all but redundent.

During the last century the Toopoxicans have receeded into a regular state making little outside contact, the Toopoxican Organisation focused its efforts on the production of weaponary and a wave of racism swept across the nation thanks in part to the recent trend in migration, the Toopoxican Nationalist Party was elected into power very quickly in the 80's and soon the Democratic state was disbanded.

Geography

Toopoxia is surrounded on the North and South by desert, on the West it is walled off by the Luni Mountain range, on the East it borders Volitaia Bay, the Volitaia River also runs through the center of nation giving its name to the Capitol Volitaia and the town Lower Volitaia, the landscape within is mostly arid desert, the area directly around the River Volitaia is highly fertile due its constant flooding, the Luni Mountains open up to allow for a trade route at the Regi Luni Mountain Pass, the River Volitaia also serves as a key trading point, the nation borders Hydac to the North and the United Middle East to the South.

Population

Toopoxican men outnumber women at a ratio of about 1 and a half men to every woman making Toopoxia a very masculine state, two thirds of the population live in poverty often working for the Toopoxican Organisation, the average life span for men is around 65 and for women it is 62, this is due to a poor social reformation that has not undergone a reformation in 60 years.

Economy

Toopoxia has a varying economy which depends really on the flooding of the River Volitaia, the Oil reserves are unusually low for a nation in the Middle East with such Oil rich neighbours, of course there is the radical alternative of sifting gold from the Volitaia, below is a list of the industries which make up Toopoxias economy.

- Farming 36%

- Arms Manufacturing 14% (see also: Toopoxican Organisation)

- Gold 6%

- Oil 15%

- Fishing 9%

For the moment the economy is thriving mostly from the Toopoxican organisation and the sales of Oil which both together make up a large profit, farming does dominate the market but it's rarely used as a trading tool and more as a commodity.

Culture

Despite having been surrounded on two sides by Arabic nations Toopoxia is not Arabic, the people infact pride themselves on being Atheist rather than the viewed image of an Islamic Arabian, despite there is still a lot of nations who will automatically class Toopoxia as "just another Arabic Terrorist nation"

Toopoxicans are split between two distinct stereotypes, there are what the people have called the "intellegentia" who typically end up in high class jobs and locations, Volitaia seems to be a prime location for these types of people and there have been many fights between the intellegentia and the "sílinidj" Who are the working class of the nation, derived from the Russian word for Strong and taken from the phrase "Strength of Body means Weak of Mind" basically this phrase is given not only to the strong but to the unintelligent aswell.

Toopoxicans enjoy the main industries of Gambling (which the goverment is now attempting to shut down) Reading (a primarilly intellegentia hobby) and Shopping (a sílinidj hobby) but it does not stop there, there is a booming Film and Music industry, more popular is the Toopoxican made films but usually foreign musical influences reach the top of the music charts, other pastimes include sports, Football, Rugby and Hockey imparticular, strong sílinidj seem to excel in this field as they are easily able to overpower the weaker Intelligentia.

Education

Education is expensive, being owned by Private companies, the largest chain of educational centers seems to be owned by "Ticking Minds" A division of the Toopoxican Organisation, this company offers 12 years of Education, the first three being free, the classes are divided into two, the first being the Male Intelligentia who are taught History, Philosophy, Physical Education, Russian, Latin, Weapons Training, Tactics, Law, Geography, Maths and Economics, the Female Intelligentia are taught Home-making, Child Raising, Genetics, Cooking and simple Maths.

The Lucky few Silinidj who gain scholarships are taught Maths, Russian, Latin, History, Art and Music, the females are taught basically the same, this class division is seen mostly in education than in other places, but in being a Privately owned company there is nothing the Silinidj can do but to hope their son or daughter is on a course.

Military

Full Article: Toopoxican Military

The Toopoxican Military is heavily controlled by the Toopoxican Organisation who supplies weaponary, funding, equipment and has control of large portions of the military, the military concentrates on special forces, specifically marksmen but also has a large expendable infantry branch and a small light Armour branch, the naval forces are currently poorly designed simply required to hold off an enemy giving enough time to land forces.

Toopoxican uniform is a one-piece blue fireproof suit with a kevlar vest and helmet each in Poxican Nightshade (Naval Blue with grey streaks) a standard equipment list is a scope, medical kit, radio, grenades and a knife, along with the P21 assult rifle, special forces are given far more equipment and training but retain the original standards of soldiers, Dress Uniform is a Naval Blue Suit and a similar cap, medals are to be worn at all formal occasions and hair is required to be shorter than 2" all over.
