The Democratic Republic Of Ustio North
History

Ustio North was officially founded as a Nation on May 29th, 1856. The Markynaz (Grand Dukes) who controlled the lands made a pact to band together against foreign invaders. Ustio has existed since then. In the years between the founding and the next major date in Ustian history, nothing much happened. No war, no revolts, no invasions - Ustio was at peace with the world and itself.

Then, around February 7th to March 12th in 1905, many of the people in a town in the south of Ustio (what would become Solis Ortis) began to die mysteriously. Doctors from all over Ustio came to see the effects. It was unknown at the time what was causing the deaths - it wasn't a plague, the town was cleaner than the capital. In the end, the Last Markynaz gave the order to torch the town. The deaths stopped and official records say that over 200,000 people died.

This was the first major incident in Ustian history - and it wasn't going to be the last. After the Last Markynaz died in 1910, supposedly leaving no heir to his throne, others began to seek the power he held. Finally, one man became the first Prime Minister in Ustian history - John Mordred. He was praised in the streets when he was inducted in 1911.

Yet, 3 years later, he was the most hated man in Ustio. It is still unknown as to the cause of the hatred, but it was justified. A revolution was about to take place in Ustio. The people demanded that Mordred gave up his power and contested an election fairly. He refused, and claimed that Hydria was his fortress, and that it would never fall. The people had other ideas.

As Mordred had the National Army under his control, the Revolution Army began to form. Essentially civillians with a will to fight, their numbers grew across all of Ustio, building up a massive army. They did deals with weapons manufacturers, sabotaged vehicles and damaged supply lines into Hydria. The Government was quick to condemn any who supported the revolution to death. But the people would not be bowed. Even in the face of total Genocide, they resisted actively, each death only driving them harder.

In April, the first real conflict between the Army and the Revolution Army broke out on the outskirts of Hydria. The Revolution Army marched on the gates of the city. Sympathisers allowed them to gain entry, but they soon found that Mordred was ready for them. There was a traitor in the Revolution Army, and Mordred knew all about their plan. He drew them inside the walls where the National Army waited, ready to slaughter them.

It was a bloody battle. The first wave of Revolution Army troops were cut down by Vickers Machine Guns hidden in the surrounding buildings. But they fought on, each man grabbing the Revolution Army Standard as the other fell. In the midst of all this, Arthur Foulke, the leader of the Revolution Army, became seperated from his men, and found himself facing off against General Brutus, leader of the National Army. The two men drew swords and fought. After a tense battle, Arthur killed the General, but it was a futile action. Even then, as their leader lay dead, the Army managed to rout the Revolution, and the battle was lost. Over 5,000 Ustian people died, but the Army still held Hydria, the capital, and Mordred still had power.


Eight months after the Battle Of Hydria, the Revolution Army was back to it's original strength, and was poised to march on the capital once more.

However, this time their ranks were bolstered with 1st Battalion Of The Pelagious Guards. With a proper military unit on their side, the Revolution was an unstoppable force during the march on Hydria. Led once again by Arthur Foulke, the Revolution smashed the Army defending Hydria, and headed for the PM's seat of power, The House Of Knights. Arthur was first into The House Of Knights, and he confronted John Mordred, offering a final chance to surrender. Mordred refused, instead opting to engage Arthur in battle. Mordred fought Arthur in the old throne room, where the Last Markynaz of Ustio once sat. In the end, Arthur mortally wounded Mordred, who lay dying on the King's throne.

But, in a final act of malice, Mordred threw his sword as Arthur and the Revolution Army were leaving. It struck him square in the back, piercing his heart. He died on the spot he stood. His closest friend Daniel, and his son, Constantine, took him to the mountain Avalon, and he was buried within the mountain's deep caverns.

Constantine was named the next Prime Minister, and he ruled for 10 years, when he was killed in an air crash.

Ustio returned to being a peaceful nation for some time. Then, some 70 years after the deaths of 200,000 Ustians in the town of Solis Ortis, history began to repeat itself. People began to die of mysterious circumstances in a town some 300 miles South-East of Solis Ortis. But, something was different.

Not all died.

Some stayed alive, and began to exibit strange behaviour. Scientists were able to secure some of these people, and they finally got a chance to study what it was that had decimated Solis Ortis 70 years prior.

It was uncovered that although the virus can be transfered through biting, that it was originally a gene. The gene, dubbed the hemato gene, was found to function remarkably similar to those found in those with Haemophilia or Cystic Fibrosis; that is, that a person can have part of the gene, but not the virus. They must have the whole gene to have the virus. Essentialy, the virus becomes part of the body if left unchecked, but after a while manifests itself as a gene. This changed the way that the virus was looked at. Almost immediately, DNA scans began in every city. Conspircy theorists have speculated that a secret facility in Ustio detains the infected and experiments on them, but this is not to be believed.

Since then, Ustio has been peaceful once more. In 2008, Prime Minister David Foulke announced that the Monarchy would be reinstated in Ustio, and the hunt began for any heir to the throne. Since the Last Markynaz died with supposedly no heirs, this became difficult. However, some old records showed that he may yet have an heir.

After months of checking and double-checking the data, it was determined that Sarah Bennett, a 26 year old Literature student from Hydria, was the true heir to the throne. As she would have been the fifth leader of Ustio to go by the name of Sarah, she became Queen Sarah V.

In early October 2008, the Navy's Centre Force was deployed to Roef. They enforced a no-fly zone around Roef's borders. After being there only a few days, the Centre Force was recalled, and re-deployed to assist ships from The Commonwealth Of Free United States defend the nation of Greal against an invasion from Leocardia.

In the same month, a new group of islands were discovered. Ustio claimed a portion of the land, and currently has an established military presence on the islands.

When the Stoklomolvi declared war on The Grand World Order in late December 2008, the First Medical Fleet was deployed to the conflict in Fictions, attempting to provide medicine and a safe haven for those fleeing the violence. After the nuclear strike, and the coalition government formed, Ustian forces returned to base.

In early 2009, Ustio made an application to become a member of the Alliance Of Maritime Nations, and was dully accepted. The Seabase HMS Xavier S. McCartney also made it's maiden voyage into the Atlantic Ocean, to become a staging post for Ustian and other AMNAT forces.

In March of 2009, Ustio closed it's borders for several months. In that time, no one came in or out. Major changes in Ustio's political and military scene took place in that time. The Monarchy was re-abolished, and the former Queen is currently MIA. Prime Minister McArthur was imprisoned on numerous charges, and the country changed from a United Kingdom to a Democratic Republic. President LaSalle seized power in an emergancy election, and immediatelty formed the Political Enforcement Agency (P.E.A), to keep the people of Ustio's votes sacrocsanct.

Terrain

While the South and West areas are generally low lying, the North is highly mountainous and has very rough terrain.
Climate

Due to the South and West of Ustio being as low lying as they are, they commonly experience major rainfall. However, the North's height means it commonly ravaged by snowstorms and blizzards. Ustio has prevailing westerly winds.

Natural Resources

The area of sea just 50 miles from the coast of Port St. Stanley is littered with Oil and Natural Gas rigs, as the sea there is rich in the resources. There are also uranium deposits, chalk, limestone and precious gems hidden within the Northern mountains.

Elevation Extremes

Lowest Point: Solis Ortis Town Centre, -7m
Highest Point: Avalon Mountain, 6,592m

The Legislature

The View Of The Senate Houses From The Banks Of The River Iga (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/tardis/images/4/46/Pete%27s_World.jpg)

The Senate Houses, as follows.

The House Of Representatives: 401 Elected Representatives
The House Of Officials: Half Elected, Half Appointed - exists to keep the Representatives in check.

The Judiciary

The head of the judiciary is always defined as the Lord High Chancellor. He, alongside 2 High Judges, are the heads of the legal system. The Lord High Chancellor used to reside in the House Of Lords, but recent reforms have meant that all Judges may not also be members of the House Of Officials, so Judges now reside in the brand new Judicial Building.

Known Political Parties

The Ustian Labour Party - The Labour party's policies include those that try to benefit all areas of Ustian society. And they're well liked for it. The Labour party has been in power since February 1915. They are a centrist party.

The Ustian Conservative Coalition - A centre-right party, the Conservatives try to match Labour's centrism by being as centrist as they can be, without copying Labour's policies. They have never held power. They seek to preserve the rights of Ustian Nationals and view foreigners with suspicion.

The Ustian Liberals - A highly left wing group, they seek a Green Ustio, focussing on renewable energy, nuclear disarmament and so on. Unsurprisingly, they have never held power.

The Ustian Nationalist Party - The only other party to have held power in Ustian history, the UNP held power up untill February 1915, when their leader, a power hungry John Mordred, was dislodged from power by the people in a revolution. They are a more severe version of the UCC.

The Promise Hand - More a Terrorist group than a Political Party, the Promise Hand call for similar policies to the UNP. There were rumours that the Promise Hand were a military branch of the UNP. However, they have not been seen in some time, and many analysts believe they disbanded some years ago.

Law Enforcement

The law is formally enforced by the judiciary, in the courts. It is widely held belief in Ustio that no-one is above the law, whatever their status or rank. Informally, local and national police forces enforce the law on a day to day basis. Much like the military, their equipment is standardised and commissioned by PHC (Police High Command).

[B]Police Standard Equipment - All Police Officers On Foot Are Required To Carry/Wear The Following;
Uniform
Stab Vest

Baton (Telescopic) or Tazer
MEU (SOC) Pistol

Welcome To SRPAnet...

SRPA was established just after the major Hemato Virus outbreak in Ustio North. We are dedicated to defending Ustio's interests in a changing world, and protecting it's citizens from the troubles of the present - and the future.

Divisions

Tactical Operations
Head: Major Richard Blake

SRPA Tactical Ops take part in covert operations to protect Ustio North from foreign threats - terrestrial or otherwise. The army, navy & air force are all privately funded, and utilise the very latest in stealth technology. The soldiers, often called Sentinels (in reference to the fact that they are the stalwart defenders of their countries' interests) have been involved in numerous engagements, such as destroying evidence of an alien in Ameriganistan, attending a WMD auction to keep said weapons out of the hands of noted terrorists in The Allied States Of Gun Manufacturers and recovering missing WMD's in Natzailey, investigating a major biological attack in The Shamoin Islands and assisting troops from Lynion fight off the marauding forces of Imperial Fungi.

Research Operations
Head: Dr. Fyodor Malikov

SRPA research operations seeks to invent new technology for use by the Tactical Ops division, and then Ustio North. Their research into the Hemato Virus/Gene was the first of their successes. The strain of the virus which killed, or caused insanity, was isolated from a certain victim. Then, through the wonders of science, Dr Malikov and his team were able to study the strain, and how it mutated the human genetic structure, creating another gene in human DNA. From this, they isolated several strains of the virus and, after months of testing, they managed to create a strain of the virus which gave the victim the power to heal from any wound, without the side effects of the rest of the virus. Since then, Dr. Malikov and his team have created several other strains, giving the victims the powers of Telekinesis, Telepathy, Cryokinesis, Pyrokinesis, Electrokinesis, Invisibility, Enhanced Strength - to name but a few. Other successful inventions include Thermal Stealth, which uses a system similar to liquid cooling in modern vehicles, and the XR-005 Hailstorm Assault Weapon. The following extract is from Dr. Malikov's diary in the early days of experimentation:

Diary Of Dr. Fyodor Malikov, Head Of SRPA Research Operations
