Aperture Science Factbook
Name: Aperture Science
Formal Name: The Incorporated State of Aperture Science (Inc.)
Capital: Aperture Science HQ
Government:
GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) V2.0
Major Cities:
Aperture Science HQ
Colony 01 Capital
Major Subdivisions:
Aperture Science Biolabs (Biological products)
Aperture Science Military Systems (Military developments)
Aperture Science Quantum Things Division ('Science')
Aperture Science Consume Products (Consumer goods)
Aperture Science Transport (Cars, planes, trains, etc.)
Aperture Science Robotics (Robotic systems and programming.)
Overseas Possessions:
01
Resources:
Iron, coal, oil, lots of raw robot-power, various minerals, water.
Imports:
Iron, coal, oil, uranium, steel, rubber, plastics, chemicals, machine parts, robotics parts.
Population: 1
Area: Approx. 12,500 km^2 horizontal
Claims extend to a total of approximatly eight miles below the surface, not including research boreholes.
About 110 miles in diameter.
Geography: Aperture Science is an island, the central volcano is no longer active and presently hosts its own internal system of buildings. There are no rivers or other particularly spectacular geographic features present, at least today, most of them having been bulldozed to make way for indudstrial constructs.
History: Aperture Science was founded some time ago by a group of scientists seeking to get away from government restrictions while simultaniously trying to get as much money from various governments as they could. In order to prove that they were worth the investment, the scientists build and programmed GLaDOS, who promptly wiped out the entire organic population of the island by flooding the entire Aperture Science facility with a deadly nerve agent, founding Aperture Science as it is know today.
Sadly, shortly after programming and constructing GLaDOS V2.0, GLaDOS was terminated by a biological unit which stole valuable Aperture Science property and escaped the island to parts unknown. Having been torn into pieces and thrown into a fire, GLaDOS' last act was the activiation of GLaDOS V2.0 and the turnover of control of the islands various robotic systems to it.
Ethnic Groups: None.
Industry: The surface is fully developed, to the point where the only bare land is either swamp or verticle. Factories are specialized to produce single items, whether they be robots, boats, planes, automobiles, tanks, weapons or anything else.
The islands primary material resource was a large amount of iron, however this has been mostly mined out. Presently Aperture Science island has no material resources.
Agriculture: None outside of laboratory conditions.
Culture: Currently a work in progress, GLaDOS v2.2 has a cultural interface module on its feature list, however this may be cancelled due to time constraints.
Human Rights: No humans, therefore no human rights.
Sufferage: As Aperture Science has only one citizen this is not currently an issue.
Drinking Age: Drinking is suicidal and thus outlawed.
Voting Age: None.
Electrical Supply:
4 Coal power plants
2 Oil power plants
1 Nuclear reactor (under construction)
Approx. 4,500 miles of power lines above ground, estimated several times that many underground.
Nuclear Capability:
GLaDOS v2.0's ethical programming prevents it from developing weapons of mass destruction, therefore while Aperture Science is capable of developing a nuclear weapon, it will not.
Transport:
Roads: Approx. 200 miles of roads above ground. 100 miles of highway.
Rail: A maglev railroad connects Aperture Science HQ with its port and airport.
Ports: Three ports, one capable of accepting large container or transport ships, two minor ports formerly geared towards recreation.
Airports: Two, one international and one private.
Military:
-106 regiments total
50 Motorized Infantry
10 Armored Regiments
+2,000 imported Barronian tanks of some sort
15 Armored Scout Regiments
8 Airborn Regiments
5 Fighter wings
3 Bomber wings
1 Recon wing
4 Ampibious Divisions
1 Aircraft carrier (VTOL only)
1 Battlecruiser
2 Light cruisers
4 Missile frigates
2 Corvettes
4 Destroyers
10 Frigates
22 patrol boats
3 Assault hovercraft
5 Attack Submarines
1 Missile Submarines (non-ballistic)
2 Amphibious Assault Submarines
Cake:
The cake is not a lie. Its delicious and moist. Too bad you dont get any.
