Full Name of Nation: MARAUD! Inc. Social Engineering Division
Brief History: [Mi] Social Engineering was recently a small section of a larger research facility, almost all of which was destroyed by a failure in containment protocols of Social Experiment 35434. A.K.A.: Zombie Survival Guide Practical Field Test.
The population of well over 200 million researchers, support staff and volunteer research subjects was reduced to fewer than 10 million, mostly test subjects.
The Survivors fortified a battery and proceeded to separate the island from the larger mainland to create a floating fortress, unfortunately infected individuals were not removed, causing the plague to spread further.
Experiment 35434 is widely considered a huge success, generating untold reams of priceless data.
Government
Government Type: Democratic state in designated non testing zones (though where these zones are is hotly debated.) Variable within testing grounds.
What is your style of Government? Not sociopathic and distant, that's for sure.
Capital: Experiment Weapons Battery 12; 15,000
Government Notes: The island is sperated into several sectors, each with a specific task, or testing purpose. Some call the experimental sectors dangerous and thoughtlessly cruel. But these people are idiots. You are not an idiot, right reader?
Climate: Arid. Island Research Site 6 does not have any natural sources of water. All water found on the island is created through the desalinization plants located deep under the floating structure. Some semi-natural pockets can be found during the storm season in the tropics.
Elevation Extremes:
Highest Point: Watch Outpost 9: 895 feet above sea-level
Lowest Point:Desalinization plant 2: 500 feet below sea-level
Natural Resources: Salt. Lots of salt.
Natural Hazards: Bored Pilots steering into hurricanes/giant earthquake created waves. Catastrophic system failures, bored researchers, and zombies. Those are natural right?
Notable Geographical Features:
The Hive: An experiment in population, space and environmental conservation and control. So many humans are located within this structure that it actually hums with noise. No visitors are allowed, as The Hive is sealed completely, to test viability as a space habitat.
Scientist predict complete failure of the experiment within the next 10 years. Rumors of zombies being introduced to the population for data are ridiculous. Zombies are not real.
People & Culture
Population: 10 million (living)
Major Cities (Name, Population):
The Hive: 1,000,000.
The Farm: 90,000
Infectious Disease Control Center: 1,500,000.
Life Expectancy:
Varies widely depending on location. Anywhere from 16 minutes in the reactors, to 75 years at The Farm.
Ethics Groups:
Ethics committees meet every Wednesday at Marty's Chuckle Hut as our favorite form of Stand-Up Comedy.
Religions: Various, all religions are allowed, and alternately shunned and encouraged.
Languages:
Technology Level:3-10. Oddly, certain lower technology sectors have longer lives and higher quality of life due to higher physical activity.
Technology Culture: Currently apocalyptic, things have to fall apart at a slightly slower rate for you to consider it post.
Major Landmarks & Tourist Attractions:
Zombie Hunting.
Economy
Currency: Variable, trade across sectors is heavily restricted, as outside influences invalidate all data.
Trade Philosophy: "If you'll build this for me, I'll stop that thing from eating you."
Major Industries: Heavy research, both for theoretical and practical purposes. Willing to take requests for aid.
Unemployment rate: There is no such thing as unemployment. Everyone has a job, they just are not aware of what it truly is.
Military
Chief Commanding Officer: Cpt: Chillicut.
Size: 90,000 individuals make up the actual military, guided by the central government, who mostly keep contaminations from spreading across the island.
Notable Units & Special Forces:
Experiemtnal Weapons Division: Tests various applications of new tools, and the use of them for the public at large. Noted for spider silk reinforced armors, and a primitive optic cammo
Notable Weapons and Technology:
Primitive Optical Camouflage that works only when no one is looking at the wearer.
Hot Hydrogen Fusion Reactor: Slightest problem will eventually cause cataclysmic explosion.
Data Sorting and Recording Device: A sentient computer that records all visible life and sorts all experimental data.
