He paused to allow the new order to sink in. "The constitution will be avaliable at any government building for free. What the constituion means is that to be apart of the government, one must be part of the military. It is only right that those who put their lives on the line decide the policy regarding the state in general. You do not have to join, but to have any voice...you must."

"My first order as Supreme Commander is the immidiate clean up of all nuclear areas. Toxic waste is to be converted to weapons, and radiation must be eliminated by any means neccesary. Cities must be rebuilt, and it's inhabitants will be conscripted to repair them. They will be payed."

"Leaders of the UDF and KH will be held for trial, and if found guilty will be turned over to the populace. The military must be made anew, and to do this will must seek foreign help. Thus we are announcing a deal: [B]The Horde of Doom is willing to have a life time contract with a weapons supplier. Any nation wanting to fufill this role will contact me."

"That is all for now."

(Anyone, anyone?)

*Bump*

Pythogria will supply whatever you require.

OOC: My stuff is hi-tech, heavy armor, heavy weapons, and a little slow.

We shall take Mondoths offer.

DSC peered out his window, looking upon the state. Cranes were a common sight now, rebuilding as best they could. People, or what was left of the civillian population, now walked the streets. Airships were a common sight, now loaded with passengers instead of bombs. It seemed as if the Horde was repairing itself quite nicely.

And yet everyone still wore a gas mask.

The huge amount of pollution had rendered the air almost unbreathable. New community homes with air tight seals were becoming the only way to live. But how to combat this? Sprawled upon his desk were clean up plans, each threatining to start a depression.

But what to do....?

He gazed at an illustration (http://www.fallout3.phx.pl/biblia/galeria/Vault.jpeg) on his desk, and knew he had his answer.
------------------------------------------------------------------

The plan was working. The entire population was being moved into the new homes, the vaults. Inside each city could survive, and any member who disobeyed would be kicked into the wastes. To make sure noone ever wanted to leave, he ordered 20 waste bombs to be dropped on the country.

Every citizen was allowed to go, and each extended faimily was given a card showing where to go. Children cried, and a few people argued over "their land," but they did as they were told.

The Vaults were a strange contrast to the enviroment outside. Some communities refused to leave, and he told them they could stay. He knew they would turn into bandits, or die.

The Vault Connection Line(VCL) had been finished in record time, allowing for much celebration. Each Vault was connected by the VCL, allowing a huge underground monorail system to transport the people from Vault to Vault.

However he already had ideas on what to do with the surface...

OOC: what exactly is a 'waste bomb'

Imagine a nuclear missle. Imagine it is not only filled with the materials for anuke, but tons upon tons of toxic waste, radioactive materials, and highly ionized metal. It effectivly renders an enviroment unlivable for hundreds of years.
