The Federation of Sukara - The Sovereignty
Sovereign Alexander III
Standing at a podium, the leader of the Federation of Sukara poises himself for a world broadcast, live. The familiar flashes of cameras illuminate the room for brief moments at a time as reporters from countless political entities prepare themselves for the speech.
Having been given the 'Okay' by the cameraman, Alexander the Third clears his throat, and begins to speak.
"Venerable nations of this world, noble delegates and illustrious leaders, I bring you news that the cradle of civilization, your famed Mesopotamia, has been invaded."
The room, unexpectedly, remains devoid of the familiar chattering of reporters.
"Four days ago and some odd hours, the Kingdom of Philip II, allied with the Holy Empire of Obedineta Makedonija attacked and invaded Mesopotamia. In recognition of this, the United Nations excommunicated the Kingdom of Philip II, and currently the region is in chaos. While we have attempted to call upon our neighbors for help, communications is apparently at a standstill. Sukara's military is becoming mobilized, but the two nations as allies are more than a match for us. We now call upon your help to assist, our dwindling economy can not handle these nations."
*****************************************
The Holy Republic of Obedineta Makedonija
----------"Makedonija na Makedoncite"-------------
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Few
The Holy Republic of Obedineta Makedonija is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, cynical population of 382 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 21%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Pizza Delivery.
Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Obedineta Makedonija's national animal is the golden lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the makedon.
Obedineta Makedonija is ranked 1st in the region and 24,274th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
*****************************************
The Kingdom of PHILIP II
---"www.historyofmacedonia.org"---
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Excellent
The Kingdom of PHILIP II is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 119 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PHILIP II's national animal is the greeks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the stater.
PHILIP II is ranked 2nd in the region and 49,543rd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.

The Federation of Sukara
---"Nothing shall be impossible"---
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Developing
Political Freedoms: Few
The Federation of Sukara is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 318 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Social Equality are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling industries.
Guns are banned, military spending is on the increase, voting is voluntary, and a government program is underway to revitalize Sukara's beaches. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sukara's national animal is the Star Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Epsilon Sovereign.
Sukara is ranked 622nd in the region and 29,716th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
