I give you the Tappee Fact Book Volume One (History)
The Tribes
Over a thousand years ago in the area now know as Tappee it was occupied by a number of Nomadic Tribes. For the most part all the tribes were able to co-exist; there was the occasional conflict between two tribes. Out of the large number of Tribes five had the most power, in either size or skill. The Williams tribe, which was the Warrior tribe. The Allenson Tribe, which was the Naval Power. The Adeptus Tribe, which was the most technologically advanced. The Griffon Tribe, Which was the largest of all the Tribes. Last was the Clancey Tribe, who where known as the Horse men.
A number of war occurred between these tribes, but none could gain the upper hand on the other. So for a number of years a cold war existed with none one moving against the other.
The Tribunal
In an attempt to create peace the Griffons created Tribunal was created. The Tribunal was originally created as a forum in which the five great powers could work out their difference diplomatically.
There was five seats, one for the leader of every tribe. In order for war to be declared on another member one would have to have support of the other three members. If support could not be gain then the use of military force was not authorized. If a tribe went against the will of the Tribunal then they risked the retaliation of the other members.
Almost over night fighting between the great tribes ended, every one was tiered of the years of war. It was not long until the five where working as a single unit.
The Unification of Tappee
With the new found friendship of the great Tribes came progress, where one Tribe failed the other succeeded, it didn’t take long for the members of the Tribunal to realize the with cooperation came power.
The Tribunal first act as a united organization was to unite all the other clans under a single banner. Most of the smaller tribes where more then willing to join such a group, and then there were those who resisted. Under the combined might of the Tribunal they stood little chance those who did not joined where destroyed.
With no more opposition in area a small country was formed. It’s name was Tappee, name after the Griffon god of Prosperity.
The Plague
And for nearly 150 years Tappee did indeed prosper. A large number of urban centres were formed; they were the symbol of Tappee’s industrial strength. However, these symbols would prove to be Tappee’s greatest danger.
As Tappee grew in size it began making contact with countries. These contact brought new technology, new ideas, and new disease. With the over crowding of the cities disease spread like wild fire, some where completely destroyed before the cure could found.
Isolation and Curiosity
In an attempt to solve the problem the Tribunal closed Tappee off to the rest of the world. It was believed that cutting off contact would stop other diseases from entering the country. Border patrols were sent out killing anyone caught trying to leave, or enter Tappee.
There where those on the Tribunal that felt that there was still a need to have knowledge of what was occurring in the outside world. It was hoped that one day that the border would again be open, and they wanted to know as much as they could.
The New Tribunal
A Special group of individual was created to explore the outside world. The plague had cause a large amount of children to become orphans, they where immune to the disease. It was decide that cause they had no family and were immune that they would be specially trained in combat, as well how to interact with the outside world. They became know as the Expeditionary Force, and it answered only to the tribunal. Their objective was to quietly observe the activities of other countries.
Over the years the great tribe had become a single unit, and since the Tribunal was the only organization that had contact with the outside word, only member of the Expeditionary Force could sit a member of the Tribunal. Instead of five seats there was now seven. Because of work that it was now doing it became know as the Intelligence Tribunal.
The End of Isolation
For over 780 years Tappee remained in isolation from the outside world, relaying on the Expeditionary Force for information. 780 was a long time, and the Intelligence Tribunal finally decide to move out of its policy of Isolation.
A massive restructuring was done. The border patrol that had keep the country became the countries standing military, it was Commanded by the joint chiefs, which where the highest-ranking officer from each military division. The Expeditionary Force, was split in to two groups know as the First and Second X. As well the position of President was created.
First and Second X
Like in the early days of the Expeditionary Force member where orphans taken in by the state, they were trained from an early age in all types of combat. There were to become Tappee’s elite forces.
The Second X would be the starting point for every one. All those in the Second X received training in close combat as well as SWAT tactics, they are Tappee’s Special Froces. Those who showed exceptional skill and intelligence are transferred to the First X, and attend the academy where they receive more advance training, they are Tappee Intelligence Service.
Cleansing
Again there where problems. After about 20 years there where traditionalists who claimed that Foreigners that had came to Tappee where challenging Tappee’s way of life. When the Intelligence Tribunal refused to move from its position, the traditionalists went on murderous rampage killing many of those who where not native to Tappee.
Tappee was on the brink of a civil war, so in attempt to avoid war the Tribunal again closed it’s border.
The Children of Tappee
The borders remained closed for an additional 30 years until under the leadership of then President Baddarron they were open.
War begun in the surrounding countries, but Tappee was able to stay out of those conflicts. However, there where those on the Tribunal that Believed the Baddarron had started the conflict by planting evidence, and framing other countries.
Civil war quickly erupted. There was a month of fierce fight until a stale mate occurred. This situation remained until Baddarrons in the Bison war, and the death of the C.O.T leaders.
Again Tappee fell into Isolation
The Blast that Rocked a Nation
During a President address to the nation, a terrorist country group know as Iaceo detonated a small nuclear bomb in Tappee’s capital.
President Allenson took control, and the Intelligence Tribunal granted him full military control. Until that time the Tribunal had maintained complete military control. President Allenson had no choice but to respond with military force. There was brief war between the two countries, but Iaceo soon fell to Tappees larger military force.
A New Direction
The Tribunal has granted President Allenson unprecedented power. Slowly easing the people of Tappee out of Isolation Allenson has joined a number of different alliances. As well as went to great length to bring foreign businesses to Tappee. One of Corporation in particular has found the environment in Tappee quite favourable is the NiBUS Corporation, which has been helping the military upgrade some its equipment. NiBUS has up to this date exclusive right on all contracts
