The Republic of Imitora
http://www.islandstarrealestate.com/info/satimage/hawaii-sat.jpg
Population: 650 million +
Economy: Frightening
Civil Rights: Below Average
Political Rights: Few
History:
Pre RP
The Republic of Imitora was officially established in the year 1837 as a colony of the British Empire. From then till 1910, the colony was stable,a and kept fairly quiet. People remained loyal to the crown, and the local goveners kept the peaople happy. In 1911, the predominantly Catholic populace began to dispise the fact that they were being ruled by a Protestant country, and began to force a break. The first true action which displayed the sentiments of the people took place in 1950, when a locally elected govenor offered contracts to the major American technology corporations, such as Northrop, Gruman, Douglas, and Boeing. It wasn't long before almost all Imitoran technology was American based. However, the people still remained quiet, and the British government felt they had nothgin to fear, despite the fact that there were near zero British products in Imitora, and less and less of Imitoran raw materials, such as oil, steel, and the like, were going to the US and not Britian. However, it was in the late 1980s the final push came. A British destroyer sitting in one of the many ports of the island nation came under fire from Imitoran artillery units. The ship was destroyed, and all hands were lost. The colony declared its independance in 1992, and the following four year long war was amazingly one sided, hte Imitoran build up of arms and introduction of its own tecnology proved far more than the British could handle. In 1996, the Repulic of Imitora officially declared its independance from Britian, and elected James C. Lines as President.

The first act of Lines was to establish a general set of rules for government beased very loosley on the US system. Nearly all of it was the same, however, it had some differnces. For example, no public schooling system was set up, and once elected President, one would serve until no longer physically or mentally capable of serving. In 1999, the Imitoran military sold off its last piece of foriegn equipment, and the Weyland-Yutani corporation officially 'purchased' the Imitoran military, setting up an exclusive contract for weapons and vehicle production. In 2001, WYC closed its doors to exports, and other local corporations began producing goods and weapons. In 2004 the greatest technical acheivement came for Imitora when it became space capable on a regular basis. Although certain portions of the story are still clasified, what is known is after a rather quiet period of time, the military set up a base on one of the small surrounding islands, and a large advancements were made. The multiple corporations formed into Imitora Military Industries, the only government owned corporation. On the social level, in 2002, Imitora allied itself with the nation of Iansisle, and soon, along with the nations of Larkinia, Iansisle, and Deazeman, Imitora created the ANH, or Alliance of the New Highlands. Imitora generally stayed out of the world scene, and in 2042 was removed from the ANH after the rather unsytematical destruction of Deazeman over inhospitalities between the two countries.
Education:
Education is valued in Imitora, but on a differnt level than the rest of the world. It is not seen as a free gift or right, but somethign which must be earned. Until the colligate level is reached, education can only be found in the means of private schooling, as the government sees no reason to force education on people. However, with the prosperous economy, it is difficult to find someone who hasn't attended one of the many private schools in Imitora. At the colligiate level, there are 2 major 'Public' Colleges, Imitora Technical University, also known as Imitora Tech, or just plane Tech, and The Imitoran National University. Depending on the choosen field of tstufy, students can get an excellent education at either university. There are also numerous private universities and colleges. Most people in Imitora choose a law or political path, however quite a few engineers are turned out.
