The Politburo holds the right to advise the Premier directly, as well as making executive higher ranking decisions in the United Socialist States of Globexanter. They hold the same vote as a member of the Parliament of People’s Deputies.
The Parliament of People’s Deputies is composed of around fifty or more citizens of Globexanter, one citizen from each Region of the Globexanterian mainland and habitated isles. The Parliament of People’s Deputies votes upon the Laws and Acts of the United Socialist States of Globexanter. It can also debate the duty of a Minister, in the case where the Public believes that an inquiry into his workings are required. There are two parts to the Parliament of People's Deputies, the Lower Parliament and the Upper Parliament. The Lower is consisted of 577 members and the Upper of 348 members, making a total of 925 members.

Carssonne

Carcassonne is Globexanter's Capital City, one of the first Globexanterian cities ever built in the Country. In the center of the city is an ancient medieval structure, a large "kremlin" with two defensive walls, the palace being inside these large double walls. All around the "Old City" (the older parts of Carcassonne) can be found ancient defenses, hastily set up during the Battle of Carcassonne in a desperate move to push back invaders. Such defenses have been, in the view of historical culture, left in position and maintained.
In the center of the city, within the Kremlin's walls, is the Government Area (also simply known as the Carcassonne's Kremlin), which houses the Government Buildings (Parliament, Politburo...), including those underground, as well as the Government Palace (which is located in the center of the Kremlin). The walls and the four entrances of the Kremlin are constantly manned by the Palace Guards.
The Main Square faces the Western wall of the Kremlin, where a march is held every fourteenth of October, in memory of the Communist revolutions in Globexanter. On the same wall of the building inside the Kremlin facing this Main Square is a large balcony, where Government officials honor dead servicemen and women and watch the October march. On the balcony is a large bronze statue of a twentieth century Globexanterian soldier in full gear, holding a limp comrade in a similar uniform in his arms. On the bottom of the monument is wrote (in French) "United Forever, Wherever And Whenever" on a small plaque. Below the plaque is a small hatch, which leads to a storage section underneath the statue which is large enough to let a small box through. Each year, a new little box (with the date of the year on it) is put into the hole. This box holds the names, birth dates and death dates of every Globexanterian serviceman and servicewoman killed in the line of duty (or due to service in the line of duty) since the last October commemorations.
Directly below the said balcony which houses the statue, outside of the Kremlin walls and technically in the Main Square, is a large bronze wall, out of which are carved two soldiers, one male and the other female. The wall has been sculpted in a manner which represents the two armed individuals seemingly running out of the wall and into the square, the soldiers (carrying equipment dating from the early Globexanterian Communist Revolutions) are in memory of the storming of the Carcassonne Kremlin, where an intense firefight took place during the Revolution, taking the lives of many under-equipped citizens. In general, the monument was made to honor the dead whom fought for Globexanter's freedom from the Czar. Each October the Premier is expected to place a new bouquet of flowers with the flag of Globexanter at the bottom of the monument.

Under the city (as in all Globexanterian cities and large villages) are numerous State owned nuclear bunkers, which also serve as temporary protection for when the city comes under attack. Carcassonne's entire metro system is linked to these bunkers, and can also be sealed from the city in the event of a nuclear or conventional attack.

Public and Commercial Transport

The large size of the country has, thorough Globexanter's existence, caused issues relating to the transport of people and goods through the country. While certain sections of land had always remained relatively easy to access, certain regions have always suffered from environmentally related issues. In order to counter the main downsides of each area, the Ministry of Transport was established in order to create a system in which each specific issue would be taken into count as to perfect a transportation system that would effectively adapt itself to the locations of it's implementation.
The biggest example of this scheme was the creating of a transnational communication link, mainly formed around a series of motorways and railways connecting one side of the country to the other. For public transportation, motorways had been established between the most populated areas of the counter, also backed up by efficient railway links (established in an attempt to reduce long distance driving). Alongside these more conventional methods, transportation hubs were also established in critical points, offering commuters a choice to change their method of transportation at different points. Most present outside of larger cities, these hubs regroup large motorway access points including vehicle parking, a close proximity to an airport (usually within walking distance), and access to a railway station (or metro, depending on the location). Such hubs eventually serve to more evenly spread out the load of Globexanter's commuting population, which also allows drivers to avoid having to bring their cars into cities.
On a more commercial scale, the country is covered in an expanse of all-weather railway links and commercial airports. By providing on-hand vehicles capable of maintaining an open route all year round, cargo trains and aircraft can easily travel through Globexanter's colder regions thorough the year, without the risk of ending up stuck in the snow. Road-based logistics have likewise been catered for with hubs serving as transit points between the road vehicles and trains, and even in some cases docks. Such logistical innovations have rendered the wide distances between each side of Globexanter to be mastered in a certain sense of the words, removing the barrier of distance between the various production centers of the country.

Power

Historically, late introduction to the industrial revolution had meant that power supplies were an unimportant issue for the ruling society, mostly being more than content to provide running power to the wealthier sections of the country since the more agricultural and less-advanced industrial sectors had no need for it. As the industrial side of the country began to advance technologically however, coal power began by far to be the more present supply in terms of energy production in the country.
Advances thorough the years have lead the nation away from the more traditional power source of coal, eventually leading it towards nuclear power and it's derivatives. From the onset of the discovery of atomic weaponry, it did not take long for the nation to begin research in terms of nuclear power, research that has continued thorough it's modern existence and leading it to the relatively strong position that it holds in regards to the power source today. Globexanter's modern power supply is, by far majority, supplied by nuclear power stations (over 80%). The country's long history in the nuclear power field has opened up a whole new industrial side of the market to the country, producing several state-owned businesses with an international reputation for their contributions and projects in nuclear power plant constructions thorough the World.
The remaining power supply is mostly covered by more ecological solutions, mainly experiments in regards to hydroelectric d**ns and geothermal sites.

Health

Free healthcare had been one of the fighting causes entertained by the men and women whom participated in Globexanter's Revolution. Established during the era of innovation of Hospitals thorough the World, the Globexanterian Health Service (GHS) was established by the Ministry of Health under the objective of providing free healthcare and cover to the citizens of the USSG. This free cover also extends to the realms of pharmaceutics, as well as medical research under State funding. The relative independence of the GHS from foreign pharmaceutical companies has provided it the capacity to provide quality healthcare while maintaining a strong research and pharmaceutical production basis in Globexanter, assuring a permanent source of care and innovation.

Education

From a young age, usually from parental motivation, a large importance is given to the aspect of education. Globexanterian children enter the education system at the age of three and remain in it until the age of eighteen (the age of obtention of their main basic diplomas) by law. Education is provided free of all cost to Globexanterian students and their families, including the dispensation of free school textbooks and material. Access to superior education, mainly universities, is also provided free of charge to students whom pass their finals. The Education system was planned out in such a way as to permit students to begin to specialize and experiment in the subjects of their choice from a relatively young age (usually from around that of 13) in order to provide them with a more open view of the fields of study and work that they could hope to participate in later on in life, therefore eliminating the issue of disheartened students lost for ideas in terms to their future active life.
A further motivation for relatively longer studies is the way in which allocations and preferences in job applications are provided to students whom have spent longer times studying in the field of work related to the activity sector in relation to their applications.

Regions

{Map}

The United Socialist States of Globexanter is split into thirteen distinct regions (replacing the old individual states) complemented by nine groups of distinct islands, each being large enough or habitable enough in a certain section to warrant their representation at the People's Parliament. The division of the country into the separate entities provides three peculiar benefits. The first is a political one, the division allowing a certain proximity between voters and those elected to represent the people of the region. The second is economic, regional capital and ministry representatives allow each region to benefit from a personalized economic planning, avoiding past situations were over-centralized economic efforts resulted in certain parts of the country missing out on the positive aspects of these boosts. The third is a security and military point: each region provides a distinct sectioning of individuals and resources, permitting for an effective and fast mobilization, training and deployment of troops via the coordination of the Ministry of Defence which also allows for soldiers and conscripts alike to be stationed (if possible) in military units as close to their home as possible (usually in the same region, facilitating transport and military leave papers greatly).

1. Globexanterian National Police Force.

The Globexanterian National Police Force (also known as the GNPF) is Globexanter's largest form of police force controlled by the Government. The GNPF is formed of both volunteers as well as men and women performing their national service. The GNPF is tasked with the maintenance of law and peace, as well as being given all rights to arrest citizens and foreigners alike in the situation where Globexanterian law is being broken. The Government of Globexanter puts the official number of men in the GNPF at around 1,682,640 policemen. All recruits are put through the GNPF training course (extremely similar to the version present in the GNF). The GNPF is under direct control of the Government of Globexanter, more specifically the Ministry of the Interior. Every policeman and policewoman of the GNPF is expected to be able to fully understand the workings of the FA-MAS and all other weapon put in their command, as well as non-lethal weapons such as tasers. In case of enemy forces attacking Globexanterian towns, the GNPF can be expected to be ordered by the Ministry of Defense to defend their assigned towns from foreign threat.
The uniform of the GNPF is composed (in general) of a white shirt (with rank insignia on the shoulders) and straight black trousers, as well as a large black jacket when the time comes. The GNPF wears no caps apart from ushankas. Southern policemen tend to wear basketball caps in order to work in the heat properly.
Conscripts can only remain in their low rank, only a few reaching the ranks of the low NCOs. All NCO and CO positions are took up by volunteers. GNPF policemen and women are always armed. It is also composed of divisions composed of armored vehicles and various aircraft.

2. Gendarmerie Nationale.

The Gendarmerie Nationale is a fully volunteer Governmental controlled paramilitary police force of the Globexanterian Government. All Gendarmes go through the exact same training course as Globexanterian soldiers (although more discipline and specialized training into their duties). Gendarmes are trained to a very high standard in assault weapons and pistols. During hostage situations or/and terrorist situations, the most likely force to be deployed would be the Gendarmerie Nationale, although it does also co-operate with the GNPF. Gendarmes are more likely however to guard public events and control riots/protests. Gendarmes rely on the use of armored vehicles (including armored cars and APCs) during riots/crowd control situations in order to maintain superiority over the crowd. Just like the GNPF, the Gendarmerie Nationale is fully permitted to arrest all whom break National Law.
The Gendarmerie Nationale is composed of three sections: The Gendarmerie Nationale (standard), Gendarmerie Mobile (foreign missions and anti-riot) and the Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale (special forces of the Gendarmerie Nationale). The Gendarmerie Nationale is also the official Military Police of the GNF, which explains it being under control of the Ministry Of Defense and not the Ministry of the Interior.
The Gendarmerie Nationale standard uniform is a navy blue shirt, jacked and trousers alongside military boots. Uniforms may vary depending on each different section or/and weather.

3. Palace Guards.

The Palace Guards are responsible for the defense of the entire Governmental Area of Carcassonne, including the Palace and all other buildings of the area. The only men and women permitted to join the Palace guards are ex-servicemen/women of the GNF whom have been in service for a minimum of six years, have had a perfect record regarding the law and trained to utmost discipline. Palace Guards can be expected to remain on guard (without moving or precisely marching while patrolling an area) for six hours before being replaced. Palace Guards are armed with FA-MAS rifles and bayonets, the guards do however hold seven fully loaded magazines under their white ceremonial uniforms, which are to be used in the defense of those within the Governmental areas.
The uniform of the Palace Guards is composed of a white jacket and trousers, and white officer's caps.

4. Globexanterian Intelligence Group.

The Globexanterian Intelligence Group (GiG or GIG for short) is the main group responsible for the foreign and interior intelligence services of Globexanter. It is split into two divisions: GiG Interior (GIGI) and GiG Exterior (GIGE), both are under the direct control of the Government of the USSG. Operations of both divisions are largely controlled by the Interior Ministry, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does severely influence the GIGE, all meetings, training and budget requests are maintained in the Interior Ministry, and GiG buildings are also marked under the latter Ministry (unless these are in Foreign soils).

1. Short Description and History.

The Globexanterian National Space Agency (also known as the GNSA) is the United Socialist States of Globexanter's only Space Agency, and is the only Globexanterian Space Agency to ever exist. Therefore responsible for all space flights in Globexanter since the late 1950s, the GNSA is an extremely experienced Space Agency which bases itself on reliability and the re-use of parts. The GNSA has (in total) launched over 2,500 rockets.

2. The Kamyshin Space Center.

The Kamyshin Space Center, the United Socialist States of Globexanter's largest and only launch site thorough the land. The complex covered 6,717 square kilometers, reaching 75 kilometers from North to South and 90 kilometers from East to West. Due to it's Southern position in Globexanter the Space Center was spared for a lot of Globexanter's snow.
Being Globexanter's only launch base, the Government was known to never leave it underfunded. The site contained an oxygen and a nitrogen plant, capable of producing 300 tons of cryogenic propellants per day, as well as a hydrogen plant; 3 fueling and neutralization facilities; a power station; 600 energy-converting stations; 92 communication sites; 2 airports (1 large runway each, military/scientific use only); 470 kilometers of railways; 1,281 kilometers of automobile roads; 6,610 kilometers of communication lines; 360 kilometers of pipelines; 1,240 kilometers of waterlines; 430 kilometers of sewer lines...
The Space Center's largest, and most modern, Control Center is named after the late Prime Minister and Premier Ryan Gache. The Space Centre also composes of many Research centers, most spreading into the underground.
Most of Globexanter's Research centers, including all of it's Command and Control Centers, and the Training Department (the Cosmodrome also composes of all administrative buildings of the G.N.S.A. [Globexanterian National Space Agency] and other G.N.S.A. related buildings). The location of all these buildings is known as the "City" by it's workers due to the high number of buildings, which also include living quarters for all staff, in the case where a full time attendance is required.

Present at the Space Center are 2,000 Air Force Personnel, 2,000 Armed Security Staff and a various workforce including engineers and scientists, composing some 10,000 men and women. The Space Center's air space was considered a constant no-fly zone for non-Government aircraft. The base has been known to of have launched non-Globexanterian spacecraft in the past, although most of it's use is took up by test flights and test spacecraft. The Space Center is, apart on special events and news meetings (including non-secretive launches), fully closed to the Public. The entire Space Center is surrounded by a large four meter high wall, flanked on both sides by three meter barbed wire walls. Both spread deep underground, and are equipped with heat and movement sensors, as well as All Condition Security Cameras, which permit the Security Staff of the Space Center to be able to scan areas of importance day or night.
There are many signs around the perimeter of the Space Center (spread out around at least a kilometer away from the walls) warning civilians of the consequences of approaching the Space Center. All signs are spaced at equal distance, on the same invisible line. The signs are however linked underneath in matters of movement sensing wires, which are linked directly to the Space Center. Failure to obey any Security Staff most often results in death.

The Kamyshin Space Center was composed of a total of 16 launch pads. Many were built during the Civil War of Globexanter, as the first Communist Government attempted to kick-start a space program. Quickly enough the Space Center was plagued with anti-Government attacks. Plagued with rocket attacks the luck of the Space Center was worsened as the base received a string of botched missions, resulting in the death of eleven cosmonauts. As of 2017 only 8 of the 16 launch pads are in operational status, all of the other launch pads require both modernization and extensive repairs. Most of the non-operational launch pads were severely damaged due to failed launches and ground attacks. The Government of Globexanter expects to return the space center's launch pads to full and complete operational

Most of Globexanter's spacecraft building capabilities are located in and around the region where the Space Center is located. Upon orders of the Government of Globexanter, all factories tasked with the construction of all large parts of the spacecraft we linked to an airport/airstrip (although exceptions are granted when the factories are connected to a railway line, which in turn leads to an airstrip/airport). This does however not apply for factories which involve the making of smaller parts (computers...). Assembly and fuelling of the spacecraft is done in one of the Space Center's many large hangars.

3. Prospective Piloted Transport System.

he Space Center was charged with in 2010, under the orders of the late Prime Minister Ryan Gache, to commence research and testing on a replacement spacecraft for the now aging Soyuz project. This research was provided utmost importance in the year 2014, after the crash of an unmanned soyuz spacecraft after takeoff.
The late Ryan Gache had requested a spacecraft which could be reformed into many variants. At the current time the Prime Minister had requested only three variants, the first being an unmanned version capable of transporting a mass of 2000 kilograms to the Earth's Orbit (as well as returning with 500 kilograms) at a weight of 12 tonnes. The second variant requested was also to be used in Earth's Orbit, the Prime Minister requested a ship capable of transporting a crew of 6 along with no less than 500 kilograms of cargo.
The third, being the only variant requested which did was not reserved for Earth's Orbit, was a "lunar cousin" of the Earth-orbit restricted ship. The lunar craft was required to have four seats, weigh in at 16.5 tonnes and return to Earth with 100 kilograms of cargo. The lunar craft was, in all possible thoughts, capable of reaching Mars, if extended with a larger fuel capability. It has been suggested that the vehicle will only use rocket thrusters to slow itself down during its landing unlike the Soyuz vehicle which uses a parachute.
The capsule was named the "Prospective Piloted Transport System" (PPTS for short), and was expected to be reusable over a 15 year period.

Also requested by the late Ryan Gache was a new launcher system, specially designed for the PPTS. Named the "Rus-M" the launcher held a height of 61.1m and a diameter of 11.6m, accompanied by a mass of 673000 kilograms. Its payload to Low Earth Orbit was of 23800 kilograms. Its first stage was composed of 3 RD-180 rockets, while the second stage was composed of 4 RD-0146 rockets.

Due to the capability of the spacecraft the project was given a higher priority than the Globexanterian spaces shuttle, as the PPTS's capability was to replace most of the shuttles Low Earth Orbit trips, involving the maintenance of space stations, and shuttling crews to and fro space stations. This did not mean however that the Government of Globexanter had forgotten the idea of a Space shuttle, although the Government of Globexanter was known to prioritize the use of the Soyuz over the space shuttle, which was in many cases regarded as too large and of little use for the medium loads the Government of Globexanter aimed to put in orbit.

The new system was completed near the end of the year 2017. Unveiled to the Public shortly after the death of the Premier Ran Gache. The PPTS was displayed in a computer generated form, alongside an artist's interpretation of the future Kamyshin Space Center, and pictures of on-going work in the area, as well as videos displaying the successful test launches of the PPTS's launcher. The video also put into view a timer on the Southern walls of the Main Control Tower, reading a countdown to the first official launch of the PPTS, which was to transport a Globexanterian weather satellite. Apart from this, the PPTS project was yet to be informed to the International Community, as the Government of Globexanter was at the time still content with the R-7 Rocket Family and the Soyuz spacecraft.

4. Kiev Project.

The Kiev Project is the code name for all Globexanterian space station programs. The GNSA is at the Kiev Project 12 marker, the current space station being referred to as "Pascal" and is expected to remain in operation for a further ten to fifteen years, and is currently home to three cosmonauts whom perform scientific tests, as well as the reliability of future equipment to be used in space by the GNSA. The Kiev Project 1 was the first ever space station ever launched into Earth's Orbit, being launched on the 19th of April 1971, it had a crew of three men and remained in orbit for 175 days.

1. Historical and security context.

Thorough the 1990s, major efforts were undertook by the Globexanterian Government to provide a system allowing the creation of major research centres easily hidden from the public and international eye, enforcing a level of confidentiality and secrecy on projects and therefore avoiding a certain level of the intellectual theft and industrial espionage that certain countries were experiencing during this period. Mainly centered around military research, the programs also took form under certain aspects of medical science, aerospace programs and certain forms of nuclear research.
These projects, requiring vast quantities of manpower and specialized buildings with specialist equipment, often took form in large closed towns, concentrating the researchers, their immediate families and the men and women required for the maintenance and life of those working in the area. The towns, often numbering over twenty-thousand inhabitants, maintained a certain military aspect through their seclusion (maintained by units provided by the Gendarmerie Nationale) which required that the towns be protected from all outside contact and entry (to the point where requiring a pass via the State was required for visits deemed necessary). This allowed for vast measures of secrecy to be very easily enforced, highly restricting the probability of any leak or loss of confidential information via espionage of any form. Although at first being costly to maintain and set up, the advantages created by these sectors in opposition to the other more traditional research centres provided a scientific benefit that ended up easily over-taking the initial losses. Quickly enough, these advances were in turn passed over to Globexanterian industries and other fabrication sectors, allowing the country to progress at great speed in those areas.

2. Biological Research.

Biological warfare, since human antiquity, has always played a dubious (and often controversial) role in warfare. Sometimes achieving great successes against devastated enemy forces, the weapons produced by this aspect of war remain equally capable of quickly returning on their users and devastating troops in their own ranks. The research of biological weapons therefore required a high amount of precision, safe guards, and strong links to other medical sectors alongside certain microbiology-centered fields of research. Far from simply having the objective of developing weaponry, research into these fields entails (by consequence) further research into other parts of biology often connected with the original studies at hand. Working on infectious diseases (a staple of biological weaponry) would therefore open the possibility of continuing research on the disease in question, ranging from studying the organism's life cycle and smaller aspects all to the development of the necessary safeguards that an army using such a weapon would have to employ in order to protect itself from any "return-fire", which would also entail the possibility of creating mechanisms capable of protecting civilian populations from such weaponry. These secondary studies would also allow the further development of medical sciences, especially in the finer details pertaining to how the used organisms could be treated when patients present themselves as being contaminated by them, creating even more possibilities of integration in further scientific studies.
Mainly through a willingness to develop weaponry for use against equally-armed enemies, the GRS (Globexanterian Research Services) originally centered most of their efforts on the production of biological weaponry aimed at giving the GNF a capacity to devastate civilian populations via fast-expanding and overwhelming diseases in enemy towns. This was quickly modified later by the fact that the presence of biological weaponry in a state would immediately alert it's leaders to the fact that only a certain number of enemy countries would be capable of launching such an attack, easily and quickly opening the door to counter-attacks of equally devastating measures. Such motivations led to the development of units capable and trained in the handling and creation of vaccines with a fast reaction speed, opening the possibility of rapidly creating means of protection in case of an eventual attack (a possibility enforced by the remoteness of the towns and the ease at which they could be cut off from an infected population).

1. History.

The Globexanterian National Forces was established in 1671 in order to defend Globexanter from foreign threats, mainly serving to regroup the already existing army and navy under a single entity, providing a better cohesion and communication between the two once-distant forces. The creation of a join command structure between the group groups also served to simplify the task of regrouping the two units, although budgetary arguments remained an issue in the forces until the Globexanterian Revolution. It was shortly before this period of change that an Air Force was added under the title of the GNF, creating a more efficient and well trained aerial force for the Globexanterian Government.
It was during the Revolution that, although avoiding a change of name, the GNF was established more firmly as an entire part of the Government, taking on more vital political roles previously denied to it. The most notable of these include the possibility of the GNF being called up by the Politburo in emergency situations, permitting the political group to bypass the Parliament, alongside the capacity of the GNF to take interim control of Globexanter in any crisis deemed to be capable of threatening the stability and longevity of the nation as a whole.

In the modern era, the GNF has amassed a certain amount of operations in foreign and internal conflicts and wars. Some of the more recent interventions of the GNF include an intervention in Kannex as to provide support for local Government forces against terrorist threats, alongside a strong presence in the invasion of the Republic of Robloxica in order to counter it's aggressive expansion, and the past civil war in HumanSanity, where the GNF was one of the main participating forces. More recently even, the GNF was involved in several interventions in the Southern sections of Globexanter in a repression of militant groups located in the area, as well as being a main factor in the recent uprising. Currently, the GNF is in the act of performing a naval and aerial intervention in Miras following the invasion of the island by Personian forces.

2. Recruitment.

The GNF bases itself on a mainly professional armed service, alongside a force of conscripted men and women, followed by a strong quantity of reserves. Voluntary enrollment into the armed services is permitted for men and women of all ages and able health from the age of 18, reduced to 17 in the situation where the potential recruit entered a military lycée after graduating through collège. Enrollment into the GNF is voluntary, and those whom do are excempt from participating in national service (since the minimum amount of time for professional service is often around four years of duty).
On a detail of the reserves, all soldier whom leaves military service for reasons other than retirement or medical issues is obliged to remain on active reserve (one training session per month) until they reach the age of fifty or fail the reserve health requirements.

3. Small Sections on Uniforms and others.

During cold weather situations, Soldiers, NCOs and Officers alike are permitted to wear a thick coat which goes down to just under the knee. Such coats are not usually worn on patrols or battle situations. Ushanka's are normally worn in off duty situations.
Every soldier of the GNF, regardless of rank, is issued with a standard issue greatcoat and a ushanka as well as fur lined boots, as a measure to increase the effectiveness of soldiers defending the cold Globexanterian fronts.

In order to refer to officers as Sir/Ma'am, the GNF relies on relies on two different systems, one affecting the Army and the other affecting the Navy and the Air Force. For the army: The word "Mon" is added in front of the soldier's rank (i.e.: Mon Capitaine, Mon Colonel...), this only applies to commissioned officers as Sergeants are still referred to by their rank. Civilians do not follow this system, simply referring to officers by their rank. For the Air Force and the Navy: As in the Army, the following only applies to commissioned officers. The officers are called Commandant (Lieutenant de Vaisseau, Capitaine de Corvette, Capitaine de Frégate, Capitaine de Vaisseau). Then, all the sub-admiral and admiral grades are addressed with Amiral.

Total Reserve G.N.F. Troops: 2,582,000
Total G.N.F. Troops: 5,101,000

5. National Service.

Every citizen of Globexanter between the age of 18 and 25 (whom was born in Globexanter) must serve at least 2 years of National Service. This may be served in the GNPF, the GNF, helping teachers, Fire Departments or in the Civil Defense. However, there are limits on the number of "Civil Servants" per Department, leading to some requests for enrollment in non-military sections being refused. During this time, the conscripts are given slightly under the pay of the lowest ranked soldier in the GNF.
Conscripts are usually, when serving their time in the GNF, given a specificly designed basic training and then permitted to take on a speciality. Usually, except in the case where a conscript displays a voluntary appeal and personal courage and motivation, these are non-combat posts, but quite a large quantity of conscripts often migrate towards combat roles. Following their service, conscripts are (depending on their record established during this time) offered the possibility to enter professional service into the GNF with a rank corresponding to their already performed service. Conscripts having served in combat roles and equipped with a correct dossier are offered the possibility of enrollment and a slightly higher rank than would be given to normal conscripts.

6. Arctic Bases.

(unsure due to map changes)

The United Socialist States of Globexanter operates several semi-permanent arctic bases located on the coastline of the Northern landmass. Usually composed of an icebreaker, a helicopter bad and some form of utility buildings (port/pontoon), the use of these bases often sits in scientific research possibilities although their presence also serves as bases for icebreakers and submarines if the option is required.

---

1. Groupe 66.

The Groupe 66 (written as Гроупе 66 in Globexanterian) is a highly classified, well trained and extremely secretive "Special Forces Unit". Based under the direct orders of the Premier of the USSG, the group aims to provide a capacity of international intervention thorought the World.
Separated from the GNF, the independent status of the Groupe 66 provides it with the capacity to operate in foreign countries without having to pass through lengthy authorizations from the military chain of command, also therefore bypassing any possible leaks or intelligence compromises as to their operations. For such a reason, funding of the group is provided via more discrete means, often as a subsidiary of the Office of the Globexanterian Premier, under the objective of protection. Recruitment and training is also provided outside of the GNF, the group therefore not being accessible to men or women having served professionally in the GNF, GNPF or Gendarmerie. Recruitment is therefore based upon a principle of observation, picking out younger men and women deemed to be capable of entering the service of the Groupe 66 (for such a reason, selected trainees often lack familial links). Training is then provided in secure and remote locations thorough Globexanter, often by retired members of the group itself (since public retirement would lead to the individual being placed under house arrest and efforts made to silence any publications of the sort).
Operatives of the group are, after their long period of training, expected to be able to efficiently handle most small arms and heavy firearms, alongside an advanced knowledge in the use of vehicles (from civilian cars to standard Globexanterian equipment), alongside strong capacities in regards to aircraft (from flying to parachuting) as well as mastering certain naval aspects in order to provide the required worldwide intervention capacity.

2. Yutil Promoff.

The Yutil Promoff is a military term designating the belonging and command unit to which belong the various special force units and teams present in the GNF. The designation regroups soldiers from all combat-capable sectors of the GNF as well as men and women from several non-combat units (mainly logistic delivery teams capable of handling specialized aircraft on certain tasks). The use of a central chain of command permits the units to freely communicate between themselves regardless of the distances that they would otherwise have to keep between the different sectors that they may belong to, therefore opening up the possibility of greatly reinforcing the links between the teams and rending cross-communications in times of conflict an easier task as well as creating the possibility of cross-training between units.

3. Foreign Advisory Organisation.

The Foreign Advisory Organisation, officially falling under the jurisdiction of a joint venture between the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, possessing the objective of providing training and organisation in regards to the supplying of weapons and goods to various groups having been deemed necessary to arm and train in foreign countries. Requiring only the permission of the politburo in order to begin the planning and execution of an operation, the FAO would from that point open be capable of requesting a budget in order to comply with the original plan that had been drawn out and presented in response to the Politburo's request. This budget may provide multiple funds varying from organizing the use of military or civilian advisors abroad all the way to the delivery of weaponry and equipment on various different policies.

4. La Légion.

Paramilitary unit possessing a rather lax entry system. Organised through the Ministry of Defence, the only obligation required for those wishing to join the group includes being of appropriate age and being physically fit. Since the recruitment process does not exclude foreigners and those possessing a criminal history, an extremely strong level of discipline is maintained within the Légion as to deny the idea that the units are composed of free-roaming criminals under lax supervision. Having undergone extensive training in which the utmost is expected from the ranks of men belonging to the unit, strong bonds form between those belonging to the Légion which have served to exponentially increase the group's effectiveness in combat. Commitment periods to the Légion often pass the dozen year markers during which the troops are often deployed in some of the most dangerous situations. In order to avoid putting off future members or demoralizing the troops involved in these operations, several series of advantages are often provided to the members of the Légion, including the fact that (as long as the individual's training is correctly completed and the said-soldier does not display objections to his belonging to the group) the operations undertook by the units are inter spaced with longer rest periods, as well as a slightly more beneficial pay package.

5. Commissaire des armées.

Supervisory officer responsible for the organization and continuation of discipline and order alongside morale in situations where prompt military justice and punishment is required outside of the possible time offered by the Gendarmerie (such as front line situations where waiting for the military police would impede the ongoing situation). During a state of emergency the Commissaires can be granted permission to participate in regular civilian law related duties.

1. Physical Description.

The inhabitants of Globexanter look very much like their fellow Northern neighbors. Globexanterians tend to be tall as an average, are fair skinned (darker tones can be found in the Southern hilled areas). As a general trait, resistance to the cold is a pretty common feature among the citizens of the country, most winters being cold thorought the country, the traditionally warmer areas being no exception to this rule).

2. Attitude.

Globexanterians are often classed as reserved, or slightly more silent people, when compared to the inhabitants of neighboring countries. Public appearences are kept rather cold, mainly from attitudes developed over the centuries in regards to avoid obnoxious attitudes that were never too welcomed in the country. Private occurences do however serve to reveal a more jovial and expressive side of culture and appearances however, usually complimented by a consumption of alcohol during meals or festivities.

3. Culture.

Out of Character Section, in order to more easily explain Globexanterian food, buildings and general traditions:
Globexanterian food is a mash up of French food as well as Russian food. Lunch is traditionally either a stew or a soup, consisting of one course in most cases. Diner, however, consists of three courses: the first being a cold soup (or salad), the main dish normally consists of plenty of meat, potatoes, sauces, meatballs and various other courses, the final dish tends to be cheese and bread. Globexanterian families put a lot of effort into cooking Dinners over lunch.
Globexanterian Buildings look like many Russian ones. The more North you get, the more there is. However, in the extreme Southern areas you could say some "European influence" from somewhere leaked in all that time ago, and many towns have Paris style buildings.
OOC Part ends hee.

4. General Traditions.

The citizens of towns (and villages) watch every year Globexanter's largest military parades on the October the 14th. In Carcassonne thousands of Military troops and vehicles march past the Main Square of Carcassone, passing the higher ranking members of the Government (whom stand on a balcony from the Main Governmental Building). On the lower stands in the Public areas are situated the Veterans, foreign diplomats and people of importance. The parade goes all around the main parts of Carcassonne, allowing the population to line the streets to watch it.
The 16th/18th Birthday(s) are not massively celebrated in Globexanter to the scale as they are celebrated in other countries.

4. Fêtes.

These include a series of celebrations which have remained strongly in the Globexanterian culture over history.

Les Feux du Printemps (the Fires of Spring). An ancient ritual kept from the days of the early inhabitants of Globexanter, mainly in the northern areas where the winters were often long, dark, cold and miserable. The ritual was held towards the end of winter, as the temperature would begin to warm, a large hole would be dug into the now softer ice or snow, where a layer of wood would be put on the floor, followed by the bodies of the deceased in the winter (as it was often impossible to bury them due to the frozen ground, most were kept in a well locked building on the outskirts of villages or towns). The bodies would then be covered in logs, and were set on fire. Following a night of burning, usually light further as to permit work by smaller bonfires, a day of rest was held (this was mainly due to the fact that most of the population of the village would be tired out from the effort of keeping the fire alive and away from the molten ice). This is also typically followed by a night of drinking.

Perseus 2

The objective of the Perseus 2 is to expand on the original capacities of the Perseus 1 (stealthy supersonic cruise missile). The original missile being capable of submarine and surface launch, complemented later on by an adaptation to certain fighter aircraft (mainly the Rafale and the Su-34). This however left out a capacity for regular land based deployment outside of the currently available naval solutions.
The Perseus 2 project, code-named Luciole, began in 2019 after the service introduction of both the first Perseus cruise missiles and the Mitokan Skat UCAV around the same time. It was shortly after the successful implantation of both of these projects into active service that a contract was provided in order to provide two new variations of the Perseus.

    I. Perseus 2 Block StS.

The first variation was designed to present a ground launch procedure for the cruise missile, composed of a slightly modified Perseus 1 missile, a modified transporter-erector-launcher vehicle (alongside a transporter and loaded vehicle and the usual detail of mobile mission launching units).

The main launcher (the TEL) is based upon the MZKT-7930, a vehicle already proven in the launch field via it's use in the 9K720 Iskander systems already in use in the GNF. Few modifications were actually performed on the vehicle itself, the only noticeable difference in the design being that of modifying the engine as to accommodate the slightly lighter payload (each Iskander-E weighing in at 3800kg while the Perseus 1 cruise missiles only came in at 800kg). These modifications, alongside a newer diesel engine to replace the original one designed for production in 2000, have given the vehicle slightly more efficient specifications.

The truck's rear loading area is outfitted with, under the same specification for the Iskander launcher, the capacity to hold two Perseus 2 missiles in a launch configuration. The two cruises missiles are held in separate launch rails, covered underneath the truck's rear section (in order to avoid the deterioration of the missiles under adverse weather conditions). Each cruise missile is capable of being lifted to the necessary 90° angle separately and of being fired separately. After firing, four minutes are required before the missile may be replaced by a new example, in order to provide enough time for the loading vehicle to prepare the following Perseus for launch and for the systems to cool down to a sufficiently low temperature to allow handling.

The design for the Block StS Perseus involves a modification of the cruise missile in order to facilitate a vertical ground launch in two different ways. The first of these involves the addition of a thrust vectoring booster, adding two meters to the length of the missile alongside an additional weight load of 300kg brought on by the extra fuel load alongside the thruster. The booster, being designed to fit perfectly underneath the cruise missile's main body, had been avoid to avoid any change in the flight pattern. This additional power was not provided to enhance the missile's performances, it's only objective being that of propelling the missile out of the launch position, bringing it to a specified altitude and speed, and then disconnecting itself from the main body of the Perseus, allowing the supersonic ramjet motor to propel the ordnance under it's own power.
This configuration therefore permits the Perseus to be launched from a ground setting, to be brought up to a designated speed and altitude by the computers present in the thrust vectoring booster and then to be allowed to continue on it's own power after the booster's ejection. The booster also permits, when used in a low altitude approach configuration (under 10 meters, for testing purposes) in which the booster was ejected as soon as it's fuel supply ran out, the extension of the cruise missile's maximum range by an average of 20 km. During these procedures, the original speed of Mach 3 was not increased or overtaken as to avoid any structural damage to the cruise missile. In this configuration, the takeoff weight of the Perseus 2 is that of 1.1 tons, dropping down to 0.8 ton as the booster is ejected, finishing off with a terminal range of 320 km, and a length of 7 meters.
The price of the original Perseus missile being around 2.1 million USD per unit, the price for the Perseus 2 is expected to be around 2.6 million USD per unit.

    II. Perseus 2 AOP (Armed Overhead Presence).

The second variation in the Perseus 2 project involves the use of the Mitokan Skat strike unmanned combat air vehicle. The Skat was chosen in this project due to the large internal bomb bay (containing four hardpoints with a maximum payload of two tons) which was to be regularly used to carry two missiles from the Kh-31 family, often the Kh-31PM variant. The Perseus cruise missiles, being 0.25 meters shorter than the 31PM, were therefore more than capable of fitting into the UCAV's internal bomb bay. The increase of weight (the Perseus weighing in 200kg heavier than the Kh-31PM) still remaining under the maximum payload of the Skat as two Perseus cruise missiles would weigh in at 1,600kg (compared to the 1,200kg with two Kh-31PMs). These configurations meant that the Skat would be capable of flying with two Perseus cruise missiles.
The use of the Perseus in the Skat required the modification of the hardpoints, and certain electronic components. The use of the Perseus in the internal bay meant that, in the Skats designated as launch platforms, the hardpoints had to be modified and re-arranged as to properly hold and release the cruise missile (the same system using on the Rafale was applied to the UCAV, since the principle remained the same). The electronic modifications were mainly based around the required of providing the UCAV with long-range detection capacities. These changes were mainly translated in the addition of ARTS scanner (Anti-Radiation Targeting System) for use in SEAD operations, the adding of the PDL-NG TALIOS targetting pod (a replacement of the Damoclès system) and a stronger visual geographical GPS memory system (permitting the aircraft to more precisely determine the location of an enemy or friendly unit and to store the information for the entire flight).
The electronic modifications to the aircraft were added in the objective of giving the Skat more independence vis-à-vis to the usually required surveillance aircraft that would operate alongside the aerial launchers, therefore minimizing the number of aircraft in flight at any one time (and therefore reducing the risk of losses).
When in use, the Perseus armed Skat is expected to be able to operate under two different main modes of operation. The first involves the use of the Skat as a standard UCAV, operating independently or in a squadron of other aircraft in attack formations (although the stealthier aspect of the Skat makes it more likely that the solo configuration would be preferred). Under this mode, the Skat would be piloted by two trained airmen, one flying the drone and the other controlling the radars and weapons of the Skat. The second mode is mainly configured under a SEAD objectives. Under these mission specifications, the Skat is designed to either advance on it's own into enemy territory in order to engage units with the Perseus cruise missiles in anti-radiation operations, or to circle at a distance at a lower altitude in an area where enemy radars are known to be located. This last configuration intends to work on a precise strategy: the Skat UCAV is intended to circle above an area (at a high altitude) which has just been passed by a squadron of allied aircraft (essentially bombers) where enemy SAM units had been located, but had turned their radars off as to avoid a counter-attack by the high altitude aircraft. The objective of the Skat would then to be, using it's longer range and low radar signals provided by it's shape, to circle at a distance from the area. Then, as it is standard procedure for SAM units to periodically turn on their radars on and then off as quickly as possible as to quickly check the surrounding airspace, to wait until an enemy radar would reveal itself for a short duration of time. The on-board computers would then assign a position to the radar's location, transmitting the information to the Perseus cruise missile and enabling a launch procedure if the target is deemed to be accessible to the weapon. Once two firings had been performed, the drone could then either return to it's airbase or remain in the area as a reconnaissance aircraft. Automatic configurations would allow for the latter SEAD specification to be done purely under the control of the drone's computers (while working on an IFF system as to avoid engaging friendly units), the main advantage of the automatic operation being a far faster reaction time than if human intervention was required.
Under this SEAD configuration, the use of the two effectors would have to be controlled via the missile itself, establishing the best altitude at which to separate the two 50kg sub-munitions in order to hit as much as the enemy unit as possible (which would entail the use of cluster munitions).

Laws on Religion

Upon entering a Communist regime, one of the first aims of the Soviet Government was to ban all forms of Religion. However, as dire times approached while War appeared on the corner of time, the Government decided that putting more effort into funding naval researches was more important than banning Religion. Many clergymen and priests were executed in Globexanter during the Civil War, those whom managed to escape ran to the Ilium for refuge. Even the Government in Carcassonne took no action against this, sometimes even supporting in. The most popular form of Religion in Globexanter, before it was banned, was Orthodox Christianism, although it was known to rarely follow the leads of Iliad Abesses.
The view of the Globexanterian population, both young and old, is very supportive of the laws banning the Public Display of Religion.

"The Public Display of Religion"

I. On the Public Display of Religion.

a) Hereby defining Religion as a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs which tends to honor one or more "God(s)".

b) Noting that the large number of Religious Groups from all over the World creates friction among groups, resulting in both physical violence and harrasment and discrimination. Also noting hate attacks and "racist" attacks against members of other Religious Groups.

c) Establishing that such friction and violence can cause a negative impact upon National and International appearences, as well as distress the innocent side of the civilians in such attacks. Noting that it is the Government's duty to protect it's civilians by any means possible, including Internal threats. Therefore pushing the Government of the United Socialist States of Globexanter to take action on the matter of Religion.

d) Hereby enforcing that in order to avoid such disruption, immediate action within the bounders of common sense shall be took against the matter of Religion:
1_ Enforcing a ban on the Public Display of Religion. Hereby banning street praying, wearing of any religious objects, building/maintining of religious buildings, and any other forms of Religion which may be perceived as Religious matters in the Public eye.
2_ Enforcing this ban to all Religious groups and it's members, regardless of nationality, origin, age and sex.
3_ Permitting the G.N.P.F. to immediately arrest (with or without a warrant) suspects accused of the Public Displaying of Religion, regardless if they do or do not have consent of breaking such Law. Setting the fines to the following: Public Display of a (or more) Religious Item(s) with Consent: 2,500 Enigmas (with possible jail sentence/community service time)/Without Consent: 500 Enigmas.

II. On Marriage.

a) Defining that Marriage in the United Kingdom of Globexanter is hereby in no way a Religious matter, and is purely the official linking of a man and a woman (or two men and two men in certain cases) whom are in love with each other. Noting that this is the only legal form of marriage in the United Kingdom of Globexanter.

b) Enforcing that the only way to be legally married in the United Kingdom of Globexanter is through a Marriage held in a Mairie, citing the legal rights of the couple and other important parts of the Globexanterian Constitution. Hereby noting that the following requirements are required in order to marry:
1_ That both sides of the couple be over the age of 16.
2_ Forced Marriages are fully banned, regardless if the Country of Origin supported such a thing. The punishment (of the Husband) for refusing to permit a wife whom was forcibly married in another Country and does not wish to remain the wife of the said husband to "divorce" is set at a minimum of a prison sentence of 10 years, and a fine of up to 100,000 Enigmas. If the Husband has had a sexual intercourse with the forcibly wed wife in another country or in the past, such an evenement is hereby classed as rape, and will be delt with accordingly. Upon entering Globexanter or one of it's Colonies, a forced Marriage is worth nothing.
3_ That neither side has been paid for Marriage, and are not abusing the Rights of a Married Couple's Nationality in order to illegally gain a Globexanterian citizenship.

c) However noting that marriages in churches within Globexanterian soil are not prohibited, although not recognized as fully legal. For such a reason, ceremonies at the Mairie may be easily requested by the to-be married couple as short, or long for those whom do not wish to partake in any religious ceremonies before hand.

d) Also noting that weddings in foreign Nations may happen in such religious buildings as noted, and may of have been therefore classed as legal and recognized by the Government in which the religious wedding was held. For such a reason, the Government of the United Socialist States of Globexanter recognizes the religious bindings of such foreigners under the legal eye. If the said foreigners however wish to live in the U.S.S.G. and wish to be legally recognized as married for such a long term stay, quickly passing through the procedures at the local Mairie would be required.

III. On Religious Buildings.

a) Noting that certain Religious groups find it necessary to pray/group at certain buildings built entirely with the idea of Religion in mind. However noting that the Government of the U.S.S.G. is devoid of Religion, and cannot be expected to cover the charges of such a construction. All buildings of religious nature as such would, however, be completely owned by the Government due to the factor that such buildings would be Public, and would therefore be required to be owned by the People of Globexanter, through the Government.

b) For such a reason the construction of any religious buildings would have to be provided with funds by members of the Public whom are willing to do so (the Government pushes that making such a donation to the Government in order for the construction of the buildings is in no way forced, and the Government urges citizens to make the choice as a family and to not put all funds into the project). Grouping up donations and organizing the construction accordingly would be handled by the Ministry of Culture. The Ministry of Culture would establish regulations on such buildings accordingly.

c) Religious buildings are to be built in the outter parts of the town, preferably near an easy access point for all populations. No other buildings are to be destroyed for the religious building, unless these are to be destroyed in either case.

d) Men and women whom work in such religious buildings should note that temporary positions in such buildings will not be classed as full time employment, and only those whom work at all times at the building can expect a slightly lower wage than standard. Any worker should however be expected to change into religious outfits at the said building and that the same Laws regarding the Public Display of Religion also affect them as any other citizen visiting the area to pray.

Such a loosening on the Laws Regarding Religion should however not be classed as an attempt to push Religion into the Governments, Laws or Constitution. Due to the fact that religious buildings are more than ever a point of grouping for believers of the Religious group according to each building, fraction between two or more groups could be expected. For such reasons, the Government remains strong on the fact that religiously based protests/riots/attacks would be answered with strong consequences for those breaking the Law, the GNPF and other units of the Government based on maintaining Law & Order having been told to deal with such incidents quickly and with strengh.

GLOBEXANTERIAN ECONOMY

The economy of the United Socialist States of Globexanter is guided by the control of the "Ecole des Sciences Economiques de Carcassonne" (School of Economics Science), also know as the ESEC. Established in 1964 it followed numerous failed attempts to boost Globexanter's economy. The ESEC, alongside the "Registre Nationale des Pertes d'Emploie" (RNPE, National Register for Job Loss), also produces yearly expectations on the Globexanterian economy. Since 1968 both organizations use Government and non-Government data to produce their expectations.

2022 Estimated Gross Domestic Produce
7,984,741,198,193.348
GDP Per Capita
E18,216
1USD = E6▲ 1.2%

2020 Estimated Unemployment

As with other Communist Governments, the Globexanterian Economy undergoes series of Plans which are enforced by the Government over a select time period usually spanning into at least a dozen years or less. However, unlike other Communist countries, the plans put into place by the Globexanterian Ministry of Economy allow room for adaptation and changes during the established time period. This permits the economy to move away from the regidity usually assigned to the communist economies, permitting the country's industrial and agricultural sectors to establish new trade links even though it may break pre-established economic plans in the objective view of maintaining a level of concurrence and diversity in the economy, therefore avoiding a risk of stagnation. Such modifications have, over the years, more or less established the economic Plans as mere guidelines for plannification, usually simply providing rough details on changes or modifications without enforcing established quotas or set amounts of limited production. These factors, alongside many others established by the People's Parliament of Deputies in the late 20th and early 21st century have permitted Globexanter to open itself up to the international markets all while holding a strong grasp on it's economic projects and ventures, while taking full advantage of the international demand for industrial and technologic goods.
As of 2022, the 9th Plan is in effect (it is currently halfway through it's course and is expected to end in three years). In order to shorten what would otherwise be a long description, the 9th Plan hopes to push Globexanter's current industries which have already been well set into sectors where they are yet to venture. By doing this it hopes to decrease the unemployment rate while both supplying more goods for the Globexanterian people as well as increasing the amount of goods being exported. No Economic Sector shall be left behind in the 9th Plan, as all sectors are expected to be involved.

Mining

The USSG is known for it's number of mines, which are used for the benefit of the population first then provided to foreign buyers. Many of the mines are located in hard to reach locations, a problem which was addressed in Globexanter's 7th Economic Plan and partially solved by an increased number of all terrain tracked vehicles and helicopters capable of lifting heavy equipment, as well as icebreakers. The said problem of access has also been raised in the 8th Plan as well as the 9th, where various solutions have been put forward to increase the speed of work and access in summer, the only time were a good percentage of said minerals are accessible.

Petroleum and Natural Gas

Below the Arms Industry the Petrolum and Natural Gas industry are one of Globexanter's biggest exports. Using both Arctic and Northern fields (as well as a few near Central and Souther Globexanter), the USSG has managed to satisfy it's populations need for both Oil (and therefore petrol, for it is also refined in Globexanter) and Natural Gas. What is left over is easily exported thorough the world. Since 2016, Globexanterian research teams have been attempting to open up Natural Gas and Oil drill sites in permafrost areas. In 2017, the first drill site opened up on one of Globexanter's smaller island, quickly followed by various onshore sites since the said date. The climate in the area does however limit the working time to summer, another great problem in the industry.

Agriculture and Fishing

Globexanterian Agriculture is concentrated around the Southern Central areas, Central Eastern areas and Southern areas of the country where most of the flat plains can be found. On these the modernized Globexanterian agriculture is very present, as it is in those areas that the highest employing sector is the Agriculture, followed by food processing plants in areas where planting crops was not possible. Although agriculture is concentrated in this area, it can be found between the great hills of the Central Western areas and South Western and Eastern areas, where numerous efforts have been made to increase the amount produced regarding the size of the industry in those areas. Small farmer fields can also be found in lower mountains.
Fishing continues to be an important industry in the North Globexanterian coast as well as, although reduced, on the Black Sea coast. It is estimated that 57% of Northern Villages are self-sufficient due to the fishing industry, although the ice in the area creates a problem for the smaller fishing craft.
On the notion of agriculture, a strong emphasis on scientific research and application has been encouraged and deployed accross the country. Mainly concentrating around the application of machinery, chemicals and GM crop, research in this field has been funded by numerous state-owned organisations, pushing Globexanter into a position of expertise in regards to agricultural practices. These applications have also permitted a bustling grain and plant industry in the country, providing a base to export an extremely large quantity of refined Globexanterian crops, seeds, and even produce.
Also facing a surge in popularity in recent years has been the livestock breeding sector which, under government provided contracts, has began to gain momentum in the warmer regions. A raised particuliarity of this surge has been the increase of rarer breeds being introduced to small sections in the Northern mountain ranges alongside projects by Research bureaus to recreate extinct or dissapearing cattle breeds.

Arms Industry

The Arms Industry is by far however one of the United Socialist States of Globexanter's biggest selling and most important key industry. Since the start of the revolution the new Government of the USSG had already began starting selling weapons to various countries and revolutionary factions across the world, something which brought to the nation condemnations at the time yet assured it recognition in that area for years to come. In 1986 the Globexanter Arms state owned corporation was put into business as a way of centralizing many of the largest Arms companies in Globexanter, since it's creation it has seen an ever rising number of sales and an ever rising revenue and profit.
OoC: As a reference, the produced and exported arms will include most provided by France, Russia and the USSR. This does not apply to weaponry deemed technologically advanced or imported from another country, for such a reason Globexanter wont produce weaponry traditionally fabricated in Central Ruska.

Nuclear Industry

Since the beginning of the era on both Nuclear power and weapons, the USSG has always maintained both a curious and advanced technological view on nuclear power. Easily believed by many of the country to be the power of the future (many other new energy types having been rejected as being as too costly for too little return power), one of the main reasons for why over 80% of Globexanter's power comes from nuclear reactors in plants all around the country. By cutting funding to other types of energy research, the State has therefore invested large amounts of money into both nuclear power and nuclear power safety, with numerous prestigious Universities on the matter present all over the country. For such a reason the United Socialist States of Globexanter has become one of the first nations brought to mind when attempts to build or buy reactors are raised. A low disaster and accident rate for such a high amount of reactors (mostly due to the amount of caution in the matter being able due to the large budget) has also assured this position.

Heavy engineering

Originally a byproduct of the arms industry, civilian shipbuilding began to take form in the 80s, culminating in the large dockyards now dotted around the Northern Globexanterian coastline. The same line can be followed for Globexanter's civilian aircraft manufactering companies, most of the state owned businesses providing international exports of civilian aircraft are more known in the country as the providers of some of the country's most used military jets and planes.
It was also on a similar line that, through years of research in military and political objectives in rocket manufactering and flight, that the partial oppening of Globexanter permitted (within the realms of declassified technology) the entry of it's space related organisations onto the international field, providing competition to the traditionally more commercial Western companies.
On a side note, more conventional engineering sectors have also gained influence and capacity through the recent years, mainly in the industrial field of elaboration and heavy machinery.
