History: Long, long ago, the Resi Corporation was but a small part of the nation of Camodia. It made cell phones and other technological devices such as PDAs, but raked in very little profit because of the increasingly socalist government. Then, in 200X, the Camodian Socialist Party won the presidential election and instated their candidate as president of the Confederacy of Camodia. Now, despite the small profit margin, the fledgling Resi Corporation had much power in the underworld and gained most of its profits through borderline legal means. This was common knowledge, but no one even in this progressive government dared take on the mob empire of the Resi Corporation. No one, that is, except for the new president. He declaired that the Resi Corporation had become too powerful, and that it was to be nationalized. The Resi Corporation rebelled, and hired thugs and mercenaries off of the streets and from foreign lands to come defend it and fight for it in the civil war that followed. The Resi Corporation's propaganda campaign even had the Camodians believing that the president was evil, and that the way of capitalism was the way of righteousness. The man who watched over all of this, eventually brought the Camodian government to its knees, and executed the president publicly to the delight of a crowd, was the first CEO of the corporation. His name was Unum Resi. CEO Unum Resi rechristened the newly-captured nation "The Resi Corporation", but the island it is on carries the name of Camodia to this day.
Unum kept his personal life and his business life very seperate. So seperate, in fact, that no one in the entire nation knew that he was married until his son was born. He had a single baby boy, who he named Jai, and proceeded to neglect. Little Jai often wondered about his father, but his mother was always there to comfort him and protect him from the evils of the world. But, when Jai was only 7 his mother died of mysterious causes, leaving him alone in the world. Jai often ran away, and even once required his father to hunt him down personally. Eventually Unum learned to keep his rebelious son under lock and key.
Skipping ahead a bit, Unum still harbored a heavy grudge against Communists, and then declared war on the nation of Udona in early 20XX. Udona, run by Red Father Nui, had no idea what hit it, but Unum used the same tactics he used with the nation of Camodia and began to control the Udonan underworld, manipulating the nation against itself. However, the world turned on Unum, and just as it seemed he was to be overpowered by the forces that be, a lone nation stepped in to save him. This nation, now sadly faded into isolationism, was the corporation of GENOM. They sent their biomechanical BOOMERs to storm the capital city of Udona along with the Resi Corporation's human army. This assult claimed many lives on both sides, and even the life of Unum Resi was taken when Roanian assassins, working under the guise of Udonans, stormed into Resi Tower and killed Unum. It is assumed they did this because of their socalist ideals, but exactly why they pinned it on Udona is still unknown. Jai, then 22, claimed his father's seat and brought about a swift end to the war with Red Father Nui's blessing. After all, Nui didn't want any trouble in the first place.
Jai Resi married young, a marriage that spawned Sara Resi, his only daughter. Jai's first wife, Haley, died of complications during Sara's birth, which was the first of many pains that Jai had to suffer. The second was the fact that Sara, who was born without arms or legs, was given but two months to live unless they could artificially restructure her body. They had a procedure for this, but they needed a subject first, which is where Jai's third pain comes in. Jai's best friend, now known simply as "Fargo", volunteered himself for the process to save Jai's daughter. Because of the extreme nerve surpressants used in the process of the operation to stop the pain, Fargo lost all of his memory. However, the operation was mostly a success, and it was used to save Jai's daughter. Unnerved by the lack of technology his empire had, Jai established many futuristic and unique creations, among them were first the Covert Crawlers, then the Star Storms, and eventually robots and Raven Units, all of which became the symbols of Resian might. But, fast as Resian technology was moving, its production fell behind. However, this was of no immeadiate concern to the corporation, as they were not under seige. And this certainly wasn't a concern of Jai's, because he had just met Eris, the future love of his life. He won Eris' heart by defending her when no one else would, defending her from Melkor and the entire GDODAD when Eris refused to turn over a single elf to be slaughtered by them. Eventually, the Resi Corporation bought its way out of a tight space and hammered out a treaty with Melkor.
Then came a great peace, in which Eris, Jai, and the entire corporation flourished. That is, until the nation of Iesus Christi formed a pact with every nation from Melkor to Santa Barbara to Menelmakar to Roania to step in, frame the Resi Corporation, and completely obliterate them. This did happen, the Resi Corporation was leveled, but the corporation managed to pay every last one of them off. It was poor, and in ruins, but in rebuilt and has begun to thrive again.
Several years later, however, the corporation was delt a hefty blow when a sentient computer virus, merging with the world's foremost technology databank, the world's greatest nanodevice, and one of the greatest mechas on Earth, created a Godzilla-like monster and stormed the capital with it, taking over the minds of the Resi Corporation's robots while it was at it. The only thing that stopped the beast's rampage was the release of S-H-A-R-O-N, a sentient Resi AI that had long sense been locked in isolation after accidently releasing the virus that was then storming the corporation.
The history of the Corporation will be updated as events unfold.

(Lol your smiley ASCII art is great! I would never have thought of that. Great work.)

(Lol your smiley ASCII art is great! I would never have thought of that. Great work.)You have NO idea how long that took... @__@

Let's just say that I was really bored, and NS was down.

very nice smiley-art lol

I can imagine! I myself tend to content myself by inventing new chapters of my nations history when NS is down, but that art makes me want to get up and dance the funky otter dance.

I can imagine! I myself tend to content myself by inventing new chapters of my nations history when NS is down, but that art makes me want to get up and dance the funky otter dance.It's not all that hard to make once you figure out how, actually. Just draw it with 0's and 1's in text, and then use the find/replace command to replace the 1's with one kind of smiley, and the 0's with another kind. Just make sure they're different colors, and if you're going for a lit sign effect, blush smilies work very well.
