Introduction:

It’s been a while since I last updated the information about the nation of Iuthia, and given that the nation of Iuthia has become a lot more active in recent years it’s time to give you a more definite idea of the nation behind the million and one condemnations and trade embargoes.

We will also note that a lot of information has been given on this guide, but the statistics are limited and often out of date or unconfirmed. It needs to be said that I’m not really keen on crunching numbers and quite frankly it’s not all that impressive having the biggest load of maths in NS… what’s important here is the concept.

Size and Location

Just for those who don't want to be looking at my nation's UN Profile (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Iuthia) I will describe some of the it to you.

Firstly the most noticeable thing about Iuthia is its size, on the day of writing this guide Iuthia has about 3.407 Billion people living in its borders; geographically we are about the size of Russia and we have slowly been reducing our vast forests as the nation has become more industrial, which is why Iuthia has a lot of industrial exports. The nation’s climate is relatively warm and we still have a huge rain forest which has become somewhat dangerous these days as this thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=292029) goes to show, there’s something lurking in Umbar forest…

We are placed within the Urbanites Region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=Urbanites) which has around 60 nations at any one time... probably half filled with puppets of our enemies. Generally they are not really into role-playing and only about 8 or less of the nation actually role-play on the forums. The rest of them generally defend regions and have region-region diplomacy, it’s a nice place and some of them, including myself started out in Urban75.com to make this region which has last for almost 18 months now.

So now you know where about we are and what nations you can talk to about us.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Iuthia/Maps/UrbanMap.jpg

Background

Iuthia is currently a Libertarian Police State as defined by the UN... to be honest, I never liked the UN much and I left about ten months ago, using a puppet to control my endorsements. However there is some truth in what they say about us.

Iuthia is among the top 2000 for defence forces in Nation States and has a very large military budget set aside, this is due to our compulsory military services, which helps define an adult from an adolescent, you don't receive your full rights in Iuthia until you have served your time for your country.

However, with this forced responsibility each citizen gains some of the best civil freedoms in the world of NationStates, they can take any drugs they want, have sexual intercourse however they feel (within the bedroom or club... not in public, that would be harming the rights of those who do not wish to see)... they are basically allowed to do anything providing it doesn't harm the rights of others or harm the nations, such as trying to change the country from a Dictatorship to a Democracy...

Which is the next point, Iuthia is ruled by a single person, who then chooses other people to help him run the country. This man is currently James deGritz, with the official title of Lord General. He may fire and hire people as he pleases and generally he does. His rule is considered to be benevolent by most of the populace, whether this is down to apathy or a general love for the guy is unknown, but they like him.



Society

Iuthia's society is highly based around that of the military... the military being the most highly funded organisation in Iuthia it has managed to leak into the very mindset of the people themselves and as such people have become to show this.

For example, everyone is well disciplined to the point where they wouldn't think about committing crimes... with exception to crimes of passion, which will never be eliminated. Crime doesn't happen in Iuthia... it's just not in their mind set to do anything which is too wrong.

Another example is Iuthia's health system... while they don't have a lot of the budget put into the health service (it's mainly private with free emergency services) you will find Iuthian people to be very fit... this is because the military mind set has been done to the point where they all know how to stay in shape and are encouraged not to eat anything bad for them... of course, most can't afford to buy chocolate but that is beside the point.

The Iuthian people are also very unimaginative on the whole, they can imagine certain things, but their art generally doesn't get weird and joyful... it looks like what it is supposed to be. The book industry in Iuthia is booming, but it's all Tom Clancy rip offs, all about brave soldiers and war like scenarios... they sell well but they don't have much room to change.

While drugs are perfectly legal they are not something that creates a menace to the Iuthian society as each of them are responsible enough not to do anything too bad with them, again this is due to the social mind set which has damaged their sense of humour, making it warped to that of a normal person.

Iuthia is a very open place to live once you have become a citizen, which is why there are many religions and races living within Iuthia. Mostly Iuthia is made up of humans, but there are Elves, half Elves, dark Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits and the most notable... Clangers. However all of them are outnumbered by Humans, who make up 91% of the populace.

The religious states are: Agnostic (75%, most), Buddhist (10%, 2nd most) followed by the rest... which can be anything.

On the whole the Iuthian people are very happy with their lives, even the UN has agreed with me on this one by put Iuthia 419th in the world for the most happiest people. As such the approval rating for James deGritz is very high, though a small percentage are not convinced.


Emergency Services:

These are all run by the military so that they could be made as efficient as possible, it also allows your compulsory military service to be held in a none-combat role... the most notable of the three services are the Peace Keepers who serves as the Iuthian police, they are trained in none lethal methods of capturing criminals should they be found but they generally just patrol the streets making sure that everything is running smoothly... they also serve as guards and security forces for various buildings.

Another institution run by the military is the orphanages, which take the allows the military to raise children into the best possible roll for them, however once the child reaches 16 they are back to being a free citizen... they are offered the same protections that all children are, only they are parented by specialists from the military. They are often the worst of Iuthian citizens hit by institutionalisation.



Education

Education is not run by the military in Iuthia, despite what the experts in say should happen. Instead education is run separately of the military and instead using methods that the military may use to teach their troops.

Basically the schools of Iuthia are run very much like that of England, you have primary education given to children from the age of 6 to 11 which concentrates on the basics they will need for Secondary Education: Math Skills, English Skills as well as others like Information Technology, Science, History and Morals. Discipline is a key factor here; however it is often a moot point as Iuthian parents teach discipline at a young age.

Then there is Secondary Education which provides the skills they will need in life, here they will stay in school from the age of 12 to 16. They will the more advanced part of what they learned in Primary Education, however they will also be taught additional lesions they may choose from. After the age of 16 they take their final tests along with results of course work and then they are given qualifications which may be used for more education and/or employment.

Further Education may be taught and is generally done for free up to the age of 18; this includes something of a basic 6 Form or College. They may also join the military at this age, which always provides free education. Most students take free education with the state and then use the military for further advancement without the cost.

In all cases except the military, students go home to parents to live with them at the end of the day... weekends are free except in the case where extra education is needed.


Structures and Building Information

Most Iuthian building as built with durability being the most important issue, in most cases they are made earthquake resistant and are often made to withstand large amounts of damage.

This has resulted in something of ugly concrete jungles for cities; important building and facilities are protected with air defence and a small garrison of troops, for example: Air Ports.

Smaller buildings are made to last, but will rarely survive large amounts of damage... mainly they are made out of brick and stone so they don't burn easy.

Iuthia has a large amount of bunker complexes so that they can evacuate their people in the case of heavy bombing, but some have been recently converted into underground travel stations, using mag-trains and the such.

I will cover more when I have more information about what I can do, but Iuthia is very careful with it's defences.



Environment

Iuthia is a relatively warm nation, some areas are so warm they have become plains with little in the way of grass or water... however Iuthia doesn't have any deserts.

Environmental damage, logging and mining Uranium has damaged a lot of Iuthia’s forests and nature, most of the dangerous wildlife has either been killed off or has retreated in to the deeper forests, only a few forests haven't been searched, a couple of which are considered to be rain forests... but they are rare and mostly unsearched due to their mass. Recently some of them have become protected due to the few forests left in Iuthia, only time can tell how long these places have.

Iuthia has a lot of beaches, but only a few of them are up good enough to attract tourists, mostly they are pebble beaches with some environmental damage, but they are all at least good enough for the people, just a few of them have retained their good looks.



Tourism

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Iuthia/Misc/Watch.jpg

Should you wish to enter Iuthia you will find out that you don't actually have all that many freedoms, you are free to a lot of the things the population do in Iuthia, for example taking drugs... but you are not guaranteed your right to privacy, this is because the security services don't trust tourists much as they are not trusted citizens... so any privacy you have can be removed if you do not make sure to follow the rules, which are listed on your flight into Iuthia.

Actually getting to Iuthia is tricky, as we do not allow planes from nations not on the "Trusted" list to fly near our cities, to get a flight to Iuthia you have to divert from a trusted nation.

Most tourism is down to the fact all drugs are legal in Iuthia, you are also permitted to be naked on the streets providing you don't engage (or try to engage) in sexual intercourse. The people of Iuthia are the 419th happiest people in NationStates so you will also find the place to be quite agreeable.

However, you may be watched by the security forces if you act suspiciously within our nation. Checks at all entrances of the nation are mandatory and very thorough, weapons are banned in Iuthia and you will not be able to smuggle them in if you are going the tourist route. Other substances are banned, but I will not detail all of them here, they are mainly spy devices and are usually obvious when seen.

We have a good looking capitol, though it is pretty well built up and fortified... so it depends on what you think looks good, we like it but you may not.

As a tourist you only need the normal passports if you are visiting (total of six weeks only) and with permission for longer stays. You will be required to tell authorities where you are staying, which is then checked up upon, each hotel will require you to check in and out when you leave and enter.



Border Security

All areas around the borders of Iuthia are well patrolled, however this is less so around some nations and more so around others... for example the safer the nation the less patrols we will make. This is only relevant if you try to cross the border on foot, some area's will be harder to patrol and are easier to get into... however you would have to find these out IC and not just automatically go to them without some find of map or something.

The sea is more carefully patrolled by patrol boats, navy and submarines then other nations may permit... Iuthia doesn't like the idea of someone sneaking a submarine into their waters so it's more then likely we'll find you this way then any other.

Also being used in a passive sense is the Iuthian NAFDA system, which is more designed for anti-ICBM use but is also designed to be able to detect stealth craft and maybe submarines, though the latter hasn't fully been tested.

However, it should be noted that the Iuthian people themselves are rather xenophobic and untrusting of foriegners who have not undergone the level of disapline training as themselves... as such suspicious activity will likely be reported.

I do this at every World Factbook entry that looks good.

Iuthian Technology

Out of date: data under review.

Introduction: First I feel it should be noted that Iuthia generally isn’t tied down to one technology level when role-playing with other nations, this is an important thing to remember because often I role-play modern technology when I’m involved in simple matters in which to help other nations. This is often because I like to RP with many different people so in order to keep everything smooth I make my technology fit the period.

In many cases this doesn’t go both ways, I do not increase my technology when RPing with more advanced nations, I simply stick to my nations default level, which is close to future technology. Most the time it comes down to OOC permission, if I want to use technology beyond theirs then I would ask the out of character if they are ok with me doing so. To this end I expect others to ask me if they intend to use such technology in my threads… in any case when future tech is involved its best that both sides work things out first because they often have different opinions on the technologies effectiveness.


Iuthia’s official technology level is “Near-Future Tech” which covers our basic space fleet with isn’t capable of faster then light technology as well as our many other interesting ideas from the NAFDA system to our Hover Tanks and Gauss Weaponry which will be covered in a moment.

Gauss Technology: This is more commonly known as the technology to create Rail-guns and Mass-drivers, each representing the different usage of the technology. Iuthia has, ever since I started role-playing back in June 2003, always claimed it’s number one armament for it’s soldiers to be Gauss Rifles, a rifle sized rail-gun very much like those from the film “Eraser” with some key differences:

> Due to the recoil that you would get from such a weapon our version doesn’t fire the rounds at a speed near that of the speed of light, instead they fire the round at a more tolerable speed which limits the power of the weapon. They are still powerful weapons and will be RPed more limited depending on what they are dealing with, the higher the tech level of an RP the better the gun becomes… in many RP’s Iuthia Gauss weapons are simply expensive slightly improved versions of their conventional counterpart.

> The weapon is designed to be a lot more reliable and durable for service in more violent areas… however it is still more delicate then other weapons and more prone to hard to repair faults, where a conventional weapon would have simple faults a Gauss weapon is more complex and would require experts to repair.

> The attachments are more simplistic; we don’t use super x-ray vision on our guns… they are just supposed to be a more interesting high tech weapon for the future.

Overall I have come to the conclusion that these Gauss weapons which meant to replace conventional rifles and cannons do not entirely replace Iuthia’s conventional weapons due to their expensive hard to repair nature. They have become a specialist weapon and are often not used by regular soldiers with a good reason.

However for space these weapons are excellent and as such all Iuthian space vessels have onboard Mass-driver turrets or fixed place guns.

Hover Technology: After playing about with magnetics to fire rounds it’s not much of a leap to imagine a form of hover technology. Unlike other nations who use this sort of thing to make large floating fortresses Iuthia has stuck to basic ideas from old games I used to like such as War Incorporated, which had hover tanks. These tanks were sleek affairs which could travel over water and carried lighter tank weapons with less armour.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Iuthia/Technology/Hover-Tank.jpg
Concept Drawing of a Hover Tank

I’m not going to go into detail because the technology is well beyond the help of science and if I can’t make the science work then it’s basically not modern technology… which it isn’t. So I’m not going to get into the science because that would insult people who actually know if it’s possible or not. This is science fiction designed to make a interesting tank which isn’t really any better then any other tank… they are weak and lightly armed, their only use is speed raids and they are only used in my own threads or very future tech environments.


Project Deep Thought:

Link (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6676338&postcount=23)
Basically this is a project which Iuthia working on in order to improve their diplomats capabilities to a much more dangerous levels. So far it's only got a small number of students learning these latest methods of controlling their body, mind and voice. The ultimate objective is to have diplomats who are capable of reading every peice of minutiae information and analysing it to their advantage, such as the way someone is talking to them and what such differences in wording mean to that person, what they are thinking. They also want diplomats who are capable of defending themselves without any weapons, so they are training them to be able to look fairly fragile through their stance, but are in fact capable of using their bodies in lethal ways. Finally they want people capable of controling their own voice and using it to give more emotion and complusion to their words...

It's in it's early stages and it's only small scale, it's also concidered to be rather future tech too.

National Atmospheric and Frequency Defence Array (NAFDA): This is a system designed by another nation which I’ve not seen for a long time, an agreement was made between Iuthia and Mega Tau which basically instructed Iuthia to give up it’s small supply of nuclear weaponry in return for a system which would protect Iuthia from ICBM attacks and other problems… it has many uses most of which are described in this thread:

[Link - NAFDA Details. (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=321134)]

Powered Armour and Drop Pods: Both of these technologies have to go together for one main reason. I like the book Starship Troopers by Hienlien, not the film which came across as another action film with vague references to the book… the idea is that Iuthia has a small elite number of troops especially trained to use Powered Armour numbering in about 200 suits and maybe about 400 men capable of using them at any one time. These suits are simple bulky affairs which are about maybe 8 foot tall and well armoured and equipped. Many of the suits are situated in space aboard a prototype ship designed for firing drop pods.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Iuthia/Technology/PowerArmourmk1.jpg
Concept Drawing of M.I Armour

These pods are strictly one use only and are designed to carry one suit of armour each. The pod is covered in many layers ablative armour which is slowly ripped off on the decent to earth, slowing down the pod and protecting the inside from the heat. It’s second use is to create a large amount of shrapnel which is similar in effect to chaff and plays hell with defence systems trying to track the pod.

When used there are maybe two empty pods to each full pod used to create more confuse, some of the empty pods will be filled with electronic counter-measure to further add to the chaos, increasing the chances of the man getting to the ground.

As they come close to the ground the pod will be down to it’s last few layers and will have slowed the pod down to some degree, it is this time when the person inside will make the last few layer separate (with the help of a small detonation) and use their grav-chutes to drop the rest of the way safely. Overall it’s not effective against well defended targets but allows the Mobile Infantry to land anywhere, providing the defences are not to strong. They are rarely used due to the insane cost of each drop and armoured suit…

Space Assets: Iuthia isn’t very interested in space on the whole but they have worked hard towards creating a space fleet to protect their nation from more space-oriented threats… the fleet is mostly limited to fighters on board two large carrier type vessels and over a dozen support frigate vessels which all together hold over 500 fighter craft. Pretty much all of the technology is based on low tech versions of “Homeworld” a game I have come to love. We don’t have FTL (faster then light technology) and shields are none existent. The vessels rely on armour, firepower and speed… in different combinations. They have no Ion Beam technology as of yet and their most powerful warhead is plasma based. All weapons are Mass-driver based and some of them can be quite large at times in the case of the Assault Frigate.

On the whole Iuthia’s space fleet is considered future tech though hardly a match for real future tech fleets.

Cyberware:

Within the next few years in Iuthian during the data revolution, Iuthia is developing new ways to deal with medical problems such as blindness, deafness and the loss of limbs by replacing the damaged parts with cybernetic replacements which are nick-named "cyberware".

These replacements represent the latest in Iuthian medical technology which may soon branch out to not just replacements, but enhancements in the humaniod body. For now these replacements need power from an external source and require a degree of servicing to keep them fully operational. However in the future years Iuthia will be upgrading these to actually use the power generated by the human body allowing them to operate with only a yearly service to make sure they are working well enough.

The first incidence of cyberware successfully implanted was meantioned on this here in the Iuthian Nation News: Link (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7587599&postcount=12)


The data revolution:

Iuthia is now undergoing a new data revolution brought about by the invention and successful implementation of optical computers in the Iuthian military networks. Soon all Iuthian computers and communication networks will be based on optical connections which are able to survive the effects of a electromagnetic pulse. Something which the Iuthian government has been trying to achieve for some time.

For now all these optical computers are limited to government systems and vital networks required for the running of both Iuthia's military and economy. However it won't be long before the technology becomes commercial and available to everyone within the nation.

Hail the revolution.

Probationary/To be confirmed:


Red These nations are not fully entrusted with full diplomatic immunity and as such they are liable to searchs going in and out of Iuthia.

Green These nations are on the list of trusted nations and their planes are accepted in Iuthian airspace...

The agreement many of the embassies are under, with expection to Lady Sirithil...

This document provides the authorization of Lord General James deGritz for the building of Embassies within the Diplomatic Quarter of Iuthia’s capitol city, Iuthia Prima. As the capitol is an inland city, 24-hours notice must be given to the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps in written format such as teletype, secured e-mail, or secured fax prior to the arrival or departure of Iuthia Prima borders. Travel outside the diplomatic compound must be escorted by Iuthia Prima Foreign Services personnel.

Rules for Diplomatic personnel and stations are as follows:

Extraterritoriality of Embassies
Embassies are considered to be extraterritorial. Iuthian personnel may only enter with the permission of the Ambassador.

Embassy Law Enforcement
Embassies are responsible for their own security and law enforcement. Embassies are permitted a small armed force up to thirty (30) people to accomplish this. No foreign nationals may carry weapons outside the Embassy compound.

Subjugation of Iuthian Law
With the exception of the Ambassador and five members of the Embassy staff (chosen by the Ambassador) who will be granted Extraterritoriality, all Embassy personnel are subject to Iuthian law outside the Embassy itself.

Expelling of Diplomatic Personnel
The Lord General or Foreign Minister of the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps reserves the right to expel any and all members of any foreign government at any time, for any reason. With the exception of active hostilities between Iuthian and the government in question, any personnel so expelled are secure in their persons and personal baggage until after they have been removed from Iuthian territory (in other words, if we expel your Ambassador, he still has diplomatic immunity until he leaves Iuthian territory).

Diplomatic Security Outside Embassy Compound
Diplomatic security outside of the Embassy compound is the responsibility of Iuthian Diplomatic Corps personnel and National Police personnel. No foreign diplomatic personnel are allowed to travel unescorted within Iuthian territory. All foreign diplomatic nationals employed at the Embassy who object to this are free to live within the Embassy compound.

Electronic Communication Outside Embassy Compound
Each Embassy compound is permitted one- and only one- satellite communications station within the Embassy compound. Communications carried on this system may be encrypted or employ any other anti-intrusion measures the Embassy personnel consider prudent. All other message traffic must go through public communications circuits or be carried in the Diplomatic Pouch.

Diplomatic Pouch Communication Outside Embassy Compound
Messages between the Embassy and its parent government may be carried by one of the Embassy staff with Extraterritoriality in a Diplomatic Pouch- which may be no larger than a standard briefcase. This pouch will be secure against any search beyond normal non-invasive passive sensors. For safety reasons, the briefcase must be transparent to X-rays. Any anti-intrusion electronics within the briefcase must be demonstrated to Diplomatic Corps personnel before the establishment of the Embassy. Any subsequent changes to anti-intrusion electronics must also be demonstrated to Diplomatic Corps prior to its use being permitted within the Diplomatic Pouch. Any electronics within the Diplomatic Pouch that do not match the X-ray signature of the agreed-upon system will not be permitted entry. Embassy security personnel are permitted unrestricted access to the Diplomatic Security screening station before, during, and after the Diplomatic Pouch passes through to ensure that Iuthian is not attempting electronic breaching of the Diplomatic Pouch.

Communication with Foreign Nationals Accused of Crimes
Embassy personnel will be permitted to communicate with citizens of the Embassy's government accused of crimes within Iuthian territory. This communication will be monitored by Diplomatic Corps and National Police personnel, and is not considered privileged information. The Lord General or Foreign Minister of the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps reserves the right to restrict any such communication in the event it may (in the opinion of Iuthian Diplomatic Corps) it may jeopardize National Security.

Diplomatic Vehicles
Each Embassy will be permitted to import two non-military vehicles for use by Extraterritorial Embassy personnel. Diplomatic vehicles will be considered part of the Embassy compound when in use by Embassy personnel with Extraterritoriality.

Prior to entry, any such vehicle will be thoroughly inspected by a team from the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps in the presence of Embassy security staff. All equipment installed in or on the vehicles will be demonstrated to IDC personnel. Any additional equipment installed subsequent to approval must also be examined by IDC and its purpose demonstrated. Diplomatic vehicles will be examined at random intervals agreed to by the Ambassador. Any alteration to the agreed equipment will be considered a violation of the Diplomatic Agreement.

In the event of a suspected crime or threat to National Security, the vehicle and its occupants will be detained in place while Iuthian Diplomatic Corps requests access to the vehicle from the Ambassador. Failure to grant such access will constitute a breach of the Diplomatic agreement. Under these circumstances and in the absence of a state of war, the Embassy may send Security Observers to ensure that the vehicle is not searched or entered by Iuthian personnel as it is destroyed in place. The remains of the vehicle will be returned to the Embassy once destruction is completed. The Embassy will be closed and all personnel expelled once this is completed. The destroyed vehicle will be permitted to leave with the Embassy staff.

Diplomatic Personnel and Espionage
Any Embassy personnel engaging in espionage will be summarily expelled (if granted Extraterritoriality) or prosecuted within the full extent of Iuthian law (all others). Embassy personnel who escape (or attempt to escape) the supervision of their Diplomatic Corps escorts will be assumed to be engaged in espionage.

Travel Restrictions Placed on Embassy Personnel
No Embassy personnel are permitted to depart Iuthia Prima for any reason other than to leave Iuthian territory.

Assuming that these terms are acceptable, The Lord General and Foreign Minister of the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps welcome the opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with your government. Please send any applicable restrictions for Iuthian Diplomatic personnel in your territory.

Best Regards,

Foreign Minister Mick Lakely
Iuthian Diplomatic Corps
The Benevolent Dictatorship of Iuthia

Hey Iuthia, that was nice and interesting. (Oh yea, my education is run by the military)

Can we exchange Embassies?

OOC Note: Overall Iuthia concentrates on defence so much because it's society has been molded around the military. This is not to be confused with many other nations who do this to have the best military in the world, Iuthia is far from having a great military.

The military itself has been used for many generations to indoctrinate the people of Iuthia into a specific mind set by using compulsory service as a way of becoming (legally) an adult. Serving your time in the military makes you a citizen which gives you freedoms instead of having your life ruled by the laws designed to protect children/adolosents. It also effect the way a citizen thinks by making them more disaplined, fit and generally more prepared to work in a team and take orders...

At first the system was greatly opposed, over a hundred years ago when one of the "Dark Times" dictators ruled Iuthia. Of course Iuthia was a much more harsh nation and it was forced whether the citizen like it or not. After the dictator passed on his son would take the system and continue to use it. It was a good system and while it cost alot of funding it did helped to keep control of the populace.

With time the society changed from something we are more used to to a society where the very system of complusory military service itself filtered down into other aspects of Iuthian life, children were brought up with strong disapline because their parents were trained by the military, slowly the principles of basic military training (not the actual killing aspect, any idiot can be trained to use a gun, the military trains soldiers to take orders and work together, most of it is disapline) were used in schools and at home... it had become a way of life.

It took a long time for the idea to ingrain itself so deeply but Iuthia is an old nation and with time things begun to merge. The emergancy services are now part of the military, the police are now "Peacekeepers" who are essentially trained by the military to do the job of a policeman, paramedics are the same but they are trained and funded by the military and firefighters are also military...

Now the leadership of Iuthia is different, James deGritz is Bolivar deGritz's son who has a mild left streak with ideas about peace and freedom... though alot of Iuthia's past has left Iuthia rather unbending. The people don't trust "Democracy" as they have always been ruled by one man, most often the one strong enough to stay in power.

The military isn't great because most the people in the military are completely green, serving their time to become adults. The ones who enjoy it and have talent go carreer. Most of Iuthia's military serves the perpose of social engineering... the rest is actually focused on defence.

Hmm, why have you been posting as Noitan Teppup recently, Iuthia?

I've yet to sort out my account and get it to work. I've talked to some peolpe about it but it's being anoying.

To: Lord General James deGritz, leader of the Iuthian People
From: Project: Deep Thought - Medical Advisor
Subject: Progress so far
Message:

Lord General,

As requested I have completed my medical report on our latest training project: "Deep Thought", in order to confirm the health and physical capabilities of the latest trainees in the program. I will briefly cover the results in this report with further details of precise results in the attached encrypted disk for viewing at your leisure. I hope you will be impressed at the results of this program as I am.

Judging their physical condition so far I would say that the muscle training being undergone by these young people has been highly successful at achieving its goals. The physical examinations have been completed and the results are some what surprising, these young adults are exceeding their estimated peak physical states though the careful use of their Prana Bindu training we are coming to the conclusion that they are optimising their body careful manipulation of their pulse and breathing, as well as the efficient use of their muscles. Something which is allowing them to exceed what we perceive as the normal limits… the potential use of this has already been discussed in our last meeting with the project organiser. Further details noted in the attached diskette.

As for their hand eye co-ordination and vision, I would say that the muscle training been given to them which I am not informed about seems to have improved them in this manner also, they are showing signs of improvement, though not to the same level as that of their physical endurance. Their vision and observation is excellent… they seem to be more focused and aware of their surrounding. This can only confirm to me that their Petit Perception training is working at some level in conjunction with the other training methods I’m not being filled in on.

Mentally each student seems sound and stable, they are as intelligent as always and their observation seem to be serving them well of their judgement, I can see no ill effects beyond some of the normal institutionalisation from being in such a training program… but such was expected from the start and it is an acceptable risk for the time being, the same risk we take with Black Vipers, dealing with this problem later should be no different then from the normal methods.

Overall I must say that my previous concerns about this project have been proven incorrect and I feel that now I can fully support the endeavour we are doing here. These future diplomats will be an asset to Iuthia’s IDC.

Thanks,

Dr. Hans Groober
Iuthian Medical Corps.

James read the document carefully, noting the sense of awe in the doctors written words. The project had been going on for some time now; this was the third generation of this particular version of the science which had been practiced by Iuthia’s diplomats who had been using a minor version of this for over a century now. The idea was fairly simple; trained diplomats were able to read a persons body language and use the information to understand a little better what they were saying and the reasoning behind it. It hadn’t been trained to this level before, but in the past it was just a method of intuition, everyone has it in a way, some more then others. It has never been entirely reliable and James doubted it ever would be.

However, with this project they went a step further, in the first stages they just found those who were tested and proven to excel in various fields such as observation, muscle control and oratorical ability. These people would then further research into these fields and teach others where possible, allowing for more research and teaching through out the generations. All members of the project would teach one another the skills to make a better diplomat as Iuthia had defined what they wanted. Now they were on the third generation of the program and were seeing some improving developments.

This report James read was coupled with that of another report handed to him from the Project Overseer who had further details into their training. This generation were being taught further into the skills such as voice control to improve their oratorical ability, such as to compel obedience in listeners on a subconscious level, to incite them or calm them… it wasn’t nearly as powerful as it sounded but it was progress. They were also being trained to exercise petit perception at all times, noticing minutiae that others miss to a terrifying degree to be coupled with their analytical skilled. Observing the body language, variations in a person's voice and tiny reactions allow them to deeply understand a person's emotional state, and manipulate it. Finally a degree of muscle control was being taught so that each student will eventually have full control over each muscle in their body; this is called prana bindu training. It allows them to bend the last joint in their little toe while remaining otherwise motionless or put a remarkable amount of force behind a physical blow (unarmed attacks being a part of their new specialized martial arts, still being built upon as it wasn’t a complete method yet). They could bend and contort their bodies in ways that most would consider impossible. A student would also eventually be able to completely control their breathing and heart rate, but for now this was limited.

It was an odd idea, so it was only a small project… but it was growing in popularity among the IDC, who saw it as their future.

James put down the report and opened his person safe to keep it from the possibility of spies. It was an interesting dream to keep hold of... only time will tell.
