OOC Story about Dicator Daniel, the man, the myth, the legend
Legends And Myths

And well, whatever ya'll feel like you want to know.

Besides the dictator, the most important thing in the dictatorship is Danneland City. The core and heart for everything that is going on in Danneland.
Where the actually city starts is uncertain, some claim that it is on the plains, or what used to be the plains of Rouh, but nowdays are just as mutch city as any other city, just that its not that hight as Danneland City. Other claims that it starts even further out, on the outskirts of Danneland. For that is the first thing one notices when comming into Danneland, the lack of nature. Instead there is just endless miles of..city. Long ago did the last free spaces dissapear and now the entire nation is covered in steel or concrete buildings.

At the lower levels the not so fortunate people strive to make a living, to survive the day. Poverty isnt a big problem, but people tend to work alot of hours to make enough money to pay the rent, feed themselves and go on a vacation once every five years or so.
These levels house the workingclass that produces just about all raw materials. And the further up you go, the more money people have, at the top. The dictator sits himselfe, overlooking his city, his nation, his creation.

Danneland City is devided into different states, 15 to be exact (check the first info) these have a governor each, wich stands direct under Daniels command. There are also corporate sectors that are controled by various corporations, in return they produce a huge cashflow to the goverment, and so far, Dictator Daniel has done nothing to hold the corporations back, and the corporations fully understands that it is not a good idea to mess with Daniel. There are regular "wars" between different corporations who wish to expand into their terretories or hold someone back in profit.
And that is also just fine, since Danneland is the main arms supplier to these corporations. Hence all arms corporations are illegal and imports of arms into Danneland is also completyl illegal, anyone caught with taking a gun into Danneland without permission is shot at an instance.

Danneland does not produce any food itselfe, and are dependant of food imports and regurarly sign new huge contracts with various abroad companies. Any company that succeeds in signing a food contract with Danneland can consider their fortune made, with over 2.5 billion people to feed, a massive ammount of money is put to get food.

Sky scrapers reach far above the clouds and mutch of the core of Danneland city is located above the clouds, far above the clouds. Children born on this level even sees the levels just above the clouds as the "lower levels" and are rarely seen "down there". The security at all levels are at 100% and due to barcoding, chip insertion and dna registration at birth, no one can escape when they have commited a crime. There is nowhere where the goverment cant reach you.
Even as a turist you get a small chip inserted in your neck and your dna registrated. The chip is extracted when the person goes back to its own country. And someone who is scanned and found without a chip, is executed at once.

Football siezed robots fly around the city 24/7 scanning people to make sure that everyone has a chip. And those who survive without a chip, have a very hard time getting around since every part of the city is checked every 10 minutes at a minimum. They are not armed, but police officers are called to the location at once. Even the corporations cant get away from the "scanners" as the public as namned them. Their real name is OPA-12b.

The whole city is connected into a central network, montiored 24/7 by not only one, but a numerous ammount of AI:s. It is believed that the network lives by itselfe since AI:s are created and deleted all the time, and no one is actually writing new once or deleting the old. But there is the Ghost Squadron wich is a part of the millitary that have humans directly connected to the network around the clock and monitors both AI activity and human acitvity, they reccord and report. No one acutally knows that it exists and few have ever came across their path through the net. Those who find it ,and follows end up in nowhere. They also gather intel from events around the world. The squadron began as a 1000 men strong programmer force, but has grown into one of the biggest, and most important factions of Dannelands milltary, having over 3.4 million active Ghost troops, and 10 million Employees, and they are always growing.

The city has an active missile defence system not connected to the network, but has its own. Medusa Missile Defence System and has its own AI, own satelites, own powersources. Just to make sure that nothing can take it out, since the nuclear attacks against Danneland has been one to many over the years. The missile defence is located all over the city, in places where it is expected to be, and places where no one would ever think of looking.

[To tierd of writing on this atm, I'll continue tomorrow. at the meantime. ghad, cant get the pics to work.. to tierd to put in more time in it now.)]

... more to come.. :)

I like Danneland!
The climate is horrible (in my sunny opinion), but everything else looks okay! I might take a vacation there sometimes :D

...is not so "hard nosed and oppressed" that is often seen in other Dictatorships, people are free to allmost whatever they want, under the observation of the goverment. Newspapers and Televisions mix their reports of local tragegies and internationall affairs. Though, any direct critisism against the goverment is rarely seen. At the most, media might point out that there is a problem somwhere.

The family is traditionally ruled by either the father or the mother and male and females have the equal ammount of restrictions and freedomes. Anyone can become anything, as long as it is in the best intrest of Danneland, the corruption is rather minimal due to the heavy presence of observers* that reports anything that seems suspucious.

Decpite what everyone believes, the Daniel is actually liked, mainly because he has succeeded to build up the country twise after it had been leveled by nuclear attacks. Due to their inner burning hatred towards and the highly advanced propaganda machine that constantly washes the brains of Dannelandians with how good their dictator is. And since allmost no one is unemployed, there are few things to worry about. Their dictator always takes good care of them.

Dannelandians are friendly people, and always invites their friends and neighbours to have dinners, parties or whatever social even there might be to celebrate. And as long as a person dont talk about democrats or complains about their beloved dictator, they will stay nice.

The common man is a hard working man, who believe that to get something good, one must earn it. And to be a worker is actually not seens as a bad thing, the working class have a high social status, even if they do not live on the highest levels.
At the upper levels the administrators live, they have a higher social status than the workers, but still show a great respect to them, and everyone else.
The administrators are the heart of Danneland, even though Daniel is the supreeme leader, there are millions of administrators making sure that his orders are followed and that suplies and money goes where its supposed to go.
At the top, the elite lives, generals, ceo's and so on, they are always treated with the greatest respect. And above all else, Daniel lives, in the highest of scy scrapers.

To be an army man is looked at with pride, anyone who joins the Dannelandian army is concidered to be a good man or a woman. They are willing to sacrefice their lives for their dictator and will fight for him.
Retierd men and women from the army always recieve a good place to stay above cloud level and good pension.

I like the template can I use it ?

I like the template can I use it ?


Sure :)

This gives me some ideas for putting my own national biography together. Nice work. :)

I may have to snag your format also. I think at this point I really need to put a factbook together and then start linking all the other writing I've done about my nation and putting that together... So much work left to do before I can claim to be done.

Well you should come on vaction to Zintar :D
Volcanic eruptions, tidal wave's ,earthquake's everyday etc. You name it we got it.Though there is only one beach on the planet, but hey it goes around the planet :).
Temperature difference on the surface is 210 degree's Celsius in the summer, -160 degree's at at the poles and +50 at the equator.In the winter the temperature difference is 250 degree's Celsius. -210 degree's Celsius at the poles, +40 degree's Celsius at the equator. So "Constant" summer :D

Factbooks are horror, all the writing.. and no one can reply more than "Good work" :P


Sarzonia thank you :)

Awesome. I had an idea like this earlier, but I hadn't put as much thought into it, particularly the template. I assume I can use it as well?

Sarzonia thank you :)

Very true, although in cases like yours, you get that whole "Immitation is the scincerest form of flattery" thing going. Gah, I've just made small factbooks for the Padmasan Inquisition and the Draconian Cult that will prove necessary later but still... Jesus H. Frog on a pogo stick!
