Phalanx Nations; Three, constantly orbiting, floating gun platforms encompassing The Ilium about 2 1/2 miles off it's shore. There is a 1 mile gap between the ends of each platform, each paltform being designated to a certain division of The Ilium's armed forces. They are kept in constant motion in a fixated orbit using ultra-powerful chains connected to a moving belt at the sea-floor. Heavily armed, has anti-aircraft cannons, anti-warship cannons, and underwater torpedo launchers. Airstrip equipped, can land planes from fighters to cargos. It is missile capable, and can also use anti-missile rockets, if the situation calls for it. Anti-missile programs such as Lasers are being experimented with here. The Naval Platform can deploy and store even the most massive and powerful warships from it's Naval Platform, can store, launch, and land even the largest airplanes in the Air Force platform, and can stockpile all kinds of Army equipment and vehicles to ship out in the Army platform. Built just after Abbess Xanthe's rise to power, it was built to show the power, elegance, and ingenuity that The Ilium was famous for. All of the 3 platforms have a large church area designated. They might be the only areas that you cannot see the metal walls. Together, the 3 platforms are known as Phalanx Nations, a true man-made wonder of the world!

WHOA WHOA WHOA! Your army is HUGE. Please trim it down to about 1,000,000 ACTIVE troops. THere's a limit on what you can have in the rules. Also, I'm going to say no on the genetic supersoldiers as well... but, feel free to post how you wouldn't abuse them in RP

[The Ilium]

The Ilium has decided upon a new national anthem to replace the old Antiquity anthem. I believe that this new anthem fits the attitude of The Ilium under the rule of Serapheim Tiburtius. I will be posting both here.

Antiquity Anthem:


New Anthem:


(OoC: I DON'T OWN ANY OF THESE SONGS! Thanks to Nintendo for the second song, and George Martin and The Beatles for the first one! I just like the first song, and my cousin introduced me to the second. I thought it worked, so I used it. )

[The Ilium]

NEW MUSIC for THE ILIUM!

Since the Church and State are one and the same in The Ilium, and because I like being different, The Ilium will now adopt TWO National Anthems, one for the Church, and one lesser used one for the State.

The Church anthem is a Roman Catholic hymn:

The State Anthem is the old Antiquity Anthem, which has been dusted off and brought back:
