HISTORY

History has always been a thing of intrest in Imitora. The study of History is the only thing that comes close to the study of politics. And Imitora is rich with its history.

Imitora hadn't always been inhabited, but records show that, before it became a home to a peoples, it was a haven to many men. Pirates, mercenaries, exiles, all found home in Imitora. It was a home to some of the meanest, fiercest, and deadly men and women of the time. Before the claiming of the Island as Ginzanian Territory in 1798, many a murder found home in the land. Its not sure how, but around this time, the Island became known as Imitora.

In 1798 a Ginzanian Explorer found the land, and claimed it for the Crown. Things were peacfull until the first revolt in 1805. The War of 1805 was short lasted, with the Imitoran people quickly being put down. The revolt, started over unfair taxation of the people, however, was a red flag. These were not people who wanted to be controlled, they wanted freedom from the oppressive Crown. Many more small skirmishes sprung up, and again were quickly halted. However, with each skirmish, more and more Ginzanians died, and more and more Imitorans lived. Things were quiet till the late 20th Century when the final war started.

On January 2nd, 1985, a single sniper opened fire on the Ginzanian govenor. The bullet struck him in the head, and he died on the spot. Hours later, explosions rocked the major cities, and buildings collapsed. Military bases were taken control of by the rebels, and soon, the ground was even. The war lasted over three years, but when the dust settled, the Imitorans were victorious. They had won their freedom exactly three years later, on January 2nd, 1988.

Things were turbulent at first, with the setting up of the government and securing of the lands, but things soon stabled out, and by 1990, Imitora started on its path to growth. By 2001, it was one of the leading nations of the Allied Powers, and in 2010, left the region to start a new power with ally Tersanctus. In 2015, they again moved to the Greater Prussian Region where it resided for twelve years. However, a 'disagrement' with the leading crown of the nation caused tension, and Imitora again left, to found its own region, the Faint Sounds of Progress.

Next post->Government

GOVERNMENT

The government of Imitora to an outsider looks like a complex mess of random postings and positions. However, the government of Imitora is a rather simple matter that is quite easy to understand.

The highest position in the land is the First Speaker. The title of the First Speaker is officialy The First Speaker of Imitora, Leader of Her Armies, Protecter of Her Peoples, and Representative of the Lands and Domains of Imitora. The First Speaker is the first, and last, word on any subject within the Grand Domain.

To elect a First Speaker, the nation must first elect the Voices. The Voices are the two representatives from each Province, and the two from the Colonies, bringing it in total to 10 in all. The Voices are also titled Second Speakers, and represent the intrests and voices of the people to the First Speaker.

From there, a nominee from each Province is selected by the respective Second Speakers. A private vote is held, and the three that get the highest votes stay for the General Election. The General Election is open to the people, and they, in turn, elect the First Speaker. This is where it gets confusing.

A First Speaker is elected for life, however a vote of no confidence can remove a Speaker from office. At the death of a First Speaker, an entire new Council of Voices is elected, and these elect more candidates for First Speaker, and the process repeats. A Second Speaker's term lasts six years, and if the First Speaker is still in office at the end of those six years, no election is held.

The Imitoran Government is slightly different from most as it only has three government controlled offices. All three offices are headed up by a different person, however all three take orders from the First Speaker. The offices are as follows:

The Federal Crime Prevention Devision: The FCPD is tasked with the prevention of Federal Crimes in Imitora. Although the list is small, the unit is always busy. The FCPD often acts in a less than extreme manner, counter to other units in Imitora. The FCPD consists of 2,079 field operatives, analysts, and investigators.

The Imitoran Secret Service: The Imitora Secret Service is tasked with the protection of the First Speaker at all times. With custom, match grade weapons from UMAC, and training that exceedes most others, they are the perfect mix of loyalty and pride to protect the First Speaker. Consisting of just over 100 field operatives, 50 snipers, and 200 investigators, the unit is self contained, and able to operate under any circumstance

The Office of Imitora Central Intellignece (ICI): The ICI is a closely gaurded secret, and has taken on a sudden influx of members since the desolution of the INSA. The ICI is authorized to spy on any other country they wish, and undertake any means nessacery to ensure the survival of Imitorans both at home and abroad.

It should be known that, save for the Second Speakers, Imitora has no senate, parliment, or otherwise.

NeXt PoSt: Military!

MILITARY(MAIN)

*It should be of note that the Main Forces are Future Tech, while the Special Forces Units and Colonial Marine Units are about 2015 tech

ICMC (Imitora Colonial Marine Corp):

The ICMC break down:
5 Devisions->
Each Devision Has 5 Brigades->
Each Brigade Has 8 Companies->
Each Company Has 5 Platoons->
Each Platoon has 42 Men

Therfore, Each Company Has 210 Marines->
Each Brigade Has 1,050 Marines->
And Each Devision has 5,250 Marines->
So the ICMC Has, In Total 26,250 Marines at Combat Ready Status at all times, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

This doesn't seem much, however, considering that a single Colonial Marine in full arm and armor is equivalent to near 15 men, it equals out.

The standard weapon of the ICMC is the M6AB Battle Rifle (http://halo.ogresnet.com/screenshots/albums/h2_game_screens/Battle_Rifle.sized.jpg), firing a caseless .308(7.62 NATO) HyVec round from a 100rnd magazine. The .308HyVec has the velocity of a hot loaded .223, with the weight and stopping power of a .308, and the travel distance of a .408 Cheyenne Tactical, thanks to the addition of a rail accelerator located in the rifle. While not as powerful as a full sized gaus or rail weapon, the .308HyVec M6AB has an effective kill range against human or armor targets at upwards of 3000yds. However, due to wind variances, combat situations occuring in built up areas, the actual range is anywhere between 1,000yds and 50yds, depending on engage distance.

Each Marine wears Mk II Advanced Protection Combat Battle Armor, or the APCBA II (http://www.skyblueva.netfirms.com/5216.jpg). The APCBA provides full protection for the wearer, in nuclear, biological, and chemical combat scenarios. The suit is worn over a wet suit like jumpsuit that provides enviromental comfort, as well as measures the bioreadouts of the Marine, transporting the info back to a platoon leader. Further, the visor of the helmet provides night vission and thermal viewing without loss of periphrial vission. The armor can straight out stop a 5.56mm round at any distance, 7.62 at any distance more than 5 yards, a .50cal round if fired from more than 200 yards. The armor also includes a low level StealthSkin system that allows it to change cammo based on the enviroment.

Armor:
No Colonial Marine Devision attacks without armor for a backup, therefor the ICMC had a full compliment of armor to back it up. Their are seven armor units, each unit consisting of:

125 Vipers (3)
100 M555 APCs (1)
40 KM-20 Combat Recon Vehicle (2)

Each unit has 575 drivers, plus 1,000 mechanics over all. In all, there are 11,025 Marines in the Armor Units. The units are all drop capable, and self sustained. All 3 vehicles are powered by the WHI8890-ANjK Plasma Generator, which gives all the vehicles a theoretically unlimated range. The M7A7 Viper is a front line combat tank designed for lethality, survivability, and all around battlefield domination. It is armed with two (2) main weapons, held in an over under pattern. The upper gun is a 90mm Gaus cannon, capable of firing the 90mm titanium carbide round at speeds upwards of Mach 20. Each round is a solid ablative coated slug, and the tank can fire 6 very accurately before needing reloading. The secondary weapon is a 135mm ETC cannon that fires a 135mm APFSDS round for lighter targets and less damage than the gauss gun. The tank also has a full GhostSkin system that allows them to blend in near perfectly with the background, and full NBC sealing.

Imitora Atmospheric Navy

The IAN is tasked with gaurding the waters of Imitora, as well as its intrests abroad. The IAN has 4 projection fleets. Each fleet is made up of the following ships:

4 Cruisers (250)[3]
5 Destroyers (255)
2 Arsenal Ships (50)
5 Submarines (110)
1 Frigate (90)

Each ship serves a specific purpose in the fleet, and for the purpose of saving space, no type of ship and no statistics are going to be listed. However, for statistics and what not, telegram me, and I will send you the info. Each fleet is manned by 2925 sailors, bringing the total sailors in the IAN to 11,7000.

Imitoran Exoatmospheric Navy

The IEN is the front line space military force for Imitora. Each ship serves a specific purpose, and the IEN has three types of fleets: Projection, Assault, and Exploration. Again, for space saving purposes, I wont list every ship and specs, but again, telegam me, and I will send you the stats. There are seven projection fleets, three assault fleets, and 2 exploration fleets. However, this doesn't represent teh true number of ships, as many of the Mega Corps in Imitora have thier own fleets. The fleet breakdowns are:

Projection: (2,860 Personel)[20,020]
4 Amanda Marie Ormsby class Arsenal Ships (115x4)[460]
7 Halcyon II Class Cruisers (90x7)[630]
3 Phikiea Class Patroll Ships (75x3)[225]
3 Infinity Class Interceptor Ships (75x3)[225]
12 Northampton IV Class Modular Stealth Frigates (110x12)[1320]

Assault: (2,780 Personel)[8,340]
2 Amanda Marie Ormsby Class Arsenal Ships (115x2)[230]
15 Northampton IV Class Modular Stealth Frigates (110x15)[1650]
12 Infinity Class Interceptor Ships (75x12)[900]

Exploration Fleet: (8,925)[17,850]
5 Phikiea Class Patroll Ships (75x5)[5,625]
10 Northampton IV Class Modular Stealth Frigates (110x10)[1,100]
1 Colony Ship (2,560 (non military))[2,560]

This brings the IENs numbers to 46,210 personel, however, because the number includes the non military personel of a colony ship, this number is not quite accurate. The IEN is one of the most popular military forces to join for those who wish to go to college after the required two year duty in one of the many forces.

This concludes the Main Military forces info of the fact book. The next post will be information regarding the Imitora Special Forces information and the Air Force, as the Air Force is considered part of the Special Operations Units. It will also include info on the police. After that will be info on the Provinces, and the major players in Imitoran Society, plus whatever else deemed nessacery for the fact book.

MILITARY (Cont.)

**The following stats are for the Imitoran Airforce

Imitoran Air Force

The IAF is tasked with the defence of the Imitoran air space and coast, and the interception of enemy units. The IAF is broken down into 20 Combat Wings, 30 Tactical Combat Wings, 15 Interception Wings, and 10 Bomber Wings. A wing consists of four squadrons, each squadron made of three flights, and a flight conatins three aircraft. The following is the usual break up for the respective squadrons

Combat Wing: (72/400)[288 pilots/1600 Mechanical Personel]
2 Squadrons of F/A-89E Archangels (48)
2 Squadrons of F-82D Angels (24)

Tactical Wing: (72/400)[360 pilots/2000 Mechanical Personel]
1 Squadron of F/A-89E Archangels (48)
2 Squadrons of F-82D Angels (24)
1 Squadron of F-107C Falkens(24)

Interception Wings: (48/400)[336 pilots/2800 Mechanical Personel]
4 Squadrons of F-82D Angels (48)
OR
4 Squadrons of F-107C Falkens (48)

1 Sqadron of F/A-62D Ravens (24)
2 Squadrons of B-115 Agile Warriors (48)
1 Squadron of B-1K Screamers (60)

In total, there are 27,330 Officers in the flight program of the Imitoran Air Force, and 150,000 enlisted personel involved with matienence and upkeep of the aircraft. This brings the total number of men and women in the IAF to 177,330.

Again, for the saving of space and time, I will not list the specificications and information of all the aircraft, however, if you telegram me, I will. This concludes the section regarding the Imitoran Military Force

*next post will be The Colonial Marine Unit and Imitora's SF units.

Special Operations Forces

In Imitora, there are a number of Special Forces Units to deal with situations that may arrise. The following is a brief explanation of the Special Forces Units.

Naval Forces

WRITE: Wartime Reconasaince, Interdiction, and Tactial Espionage; WRITE teams are similar to the Vietnam Era US Navy SEALs. They usually operate behind enemy lines with the purpose of disrupting supply routes, operations, and cause general mayhem. They usually use Russian equipment, such as AK-47s and Draganovs. They also use Russian fatigues and gear, in order to blend in. There are recorded 360 WRITE operatives.
NSOC: The NSOC, or Naval Special Operations Center, does everything that the every day sailor cant. Boarding parties, port security, oil rig security, and EOD/Coast Clearing operations are all part of the bill. Using CAR-48's, CAR-46's and MP5Is, they also use weapons contracted by UMAC. NSOC is 1,200 men strong, and usually operate from ships and foriegn ports.

ICMC

22nd SOTF: The 22nd Special Operations Task Force (Said 'Sotaf') is akin to the United States Army Rangers. Operating as a light elite infantry force, the 22nd is the first unit used when a larger operation is needed. Airport takeover, front line security, large scale urban ops, and the like all fall in the bucket of tasks for the SOTF. CAR-48's are the weapon of the day, and many versions are in use by the 22nd. The 22nd is 1,572 men strong, and include LRRP groups, assault teams, and hostage extraction units
Force Recon: Very little is known about this particular Special Operations Unit, however, what is known is that Force Recon is the toughest, most well trained, deadliest, and above all mean, group in Imitora. Many operatives of Force Recon display fascist and racist tendancies. THe only weapon they are required to use are the CAR-88 rifle, which is appearently loved by the men. Other wise, they are allowed to choose thier own equipment and side arms. There are no more than 60 Force Recon operatives at any time.
Scout Snipers: Like Fore Recon, very little is known about the Scout Snipers. Some of the best rifle men in the military end up here. What can be said is that there are three groups in the Scout Snipers: Scouts, Snipers, and Spotters. The Scouts operate on their own or as a sniper with another unit, like the NSOC. They usually are armed with the semi auto SSR-308. Snipers and Spotters operate in two man teams and work alone, often going on missions weeks, or even months, long. They operate deep cover, and have the second hardest survival training in the community.

Air Force

178th SOAF: The 178th is the Air Operations unit of the SpecFor comunity. Although it doesn't fall under the direct command of the IMSPECOPCOM, the 178th work very closely with the rest of the community. The 178th is the only group larger than the 22nd, with 4,500 pilots, mechanics, and crew chiefs. They fly MH-60Is, AH-6I and MH-6Is, MH-47Is, and MV-22Is. They are some of the best pilots in Imitora, and have been known to fly their helicopters like jet fighters.
38th Pararescue: The 38th is a group that operates closely with the 178th. They often go along with fast action operations, and every now and then with some long term operations. Some of the medics in the 38th completed training with the 22nd or NSOC. They are all jump and helicopter fastrope qualified, and have one of the toughest jobs in the military.

That concludes the section on the Special Forces of Imitora. The next post will be the everyday people of Imitora.
