Mission

Early in the 22nd Century the nationstate still known as Toopoxia was bought out by private Technology firm Liberty, specialising in the construction of Artifical Intelligence computers with the aim of approaching the technological singularity, Toopoxias old capitol is home to one of the worlds most advanced Random Event Calculators tied into a complex Artificial Intelligence, referred to as REG X (Random Event Generator eXperimental)

Goverment

REG X is responsible for the daily lives of all Toopoxicans, since 2267 it has been responsible for all departments of the goverment (excluding Defence which is controlled by a less advanced but still powerful AI) In all respects Toopoxia is ruled by a benevolant Dictatorship, for as long as the REG X remains subordinate to the needs of humanity.

Some complaints slip through the REG X's heavy control on media, comments have been expressed about the dire level of civil rights the people are granted, the extremity to which the goverment reacts to civil disobedience and random conjecture of REG X's overall motives.

Social Front

Toopoxicans are used to the lack of liberties granted to them, having previously been ruled by a Fascist Dictatorship before REG X, the idea that leadership through Artificial Intelligence is a good idea has been drilled into the hearts and minds of all Toopoxicans, people are strictly regulated by the Goverment, each child is chipped at a young age to moniter their activities, location and health.

Toopoxicans are free to benefit from the improvements Artifical Intelligence offers, state subsidised cybernetic and genetic improvements can build upon natural intelligence, strength and practicality, in many cases you will find that it will be difficult to find employment without such modification, especially in the case of the Military who are heavily advanced upon with modifications.

Toopoxias previous excellence in the field of the arts has somewhat diminished, its lack of practicality made it a highly unadvisable career move by the Liberty Firm, however, a recent trend has been in arts among the poor, as it is among the very few careers which do not require non-natural modification.

Troubles

Toopoxia is by no means a Paradise, suspicion casually floats about the streets of the Hab Cities over the overall goals of the REG X, ranging from casual rumor and conjecture to outright violent protest (reports of needless hostile action by the Military has been reported and dismissed) some join in anti REG protests to further the goals of liberal political movements, all of which lack the strength to protest their own message.

Food management has, in recent years, become a difficulty, Toopoxias location being surrounded by desert, a typical meal will consist of a practical but foul tasting synthetic meal, providing the required minerals and vitamins for a healthy life, those who can afford food are typically targetted by thieves, who are then immediatly prosecuted by the Police.

Colonial

Colonial Administration

Colonial matters are not within the jurisdiction of REG X whose ability to quickly respond is hampered by the vast distance between colonies, instead a specialised portable program was developed based off the REG X model, referred to as the first sister of REG X, originally titled REG Port it later came to be known as Petra.

Petra's responsibilities are similar to REG X's, only on a much smaller scale, she has also been designed to fully operate a colony with only her input, including auto-piloting cargo vessels, making human input minimal and driving down the costs of habitat off-world.

Colonial Military

Until the completion of Petra Mil, the staffing of Colonial Military is under the responsibility of General Five Star Mitya Andropov, who in turn answers to REG Mil, the Colonial Military operate as a purely policing force, keeping the colonists under watch and making sure all the profits of colonial exploration are made in the name of the Liberty firm.

Colonies

Hab-A, Mars:

The oldest of the Toopoxican colonies, and the only still functioning analogue colony, awaiting upgrades to allow for Petra compatability, it houses a total of 90 colonists, 4 mining vehicles and 2 large cargo transports, it focuses on the mining of resources from Mars, and for a brief time operated with Hab B in production of items.

Hab-B, Mars:

-COLONY ABANDONED-

Hab-C, Mars:

-COLONY ABANDONED-
-COLONY DESTROYED-

Hab-D Mars:

Operating near Mars' Polar caps in an experiment towards the terraforming of the planet, it features an advanced hydroponics lab and was the second of the Hab's to be function with Petra's leadership.

Hab-E, Mars:

The smallest and only completly Petra operated Hab, it houses no colonists but the space saved allows for it to function with 4 Cargo Vessels and 8 Mining Vehicles, it is located in a resource heavy area of Mars.

Hab-F, Mars:

-COLONY UNDER CONSTRUCTION-

Med 1:

Mid Station, refuels Cargo Ships on their way to Earth or Mars.

Military

Military Leadership

As mentioned, the REG-X machine does not control the military matters of Toopoxia, instead the Toopoxican army operate on a dual analogue and digital system, half of the military is operated and maintained by a council of staff, who hold the right to over-rule the actions of the REG Mil, especially in the use of WMD's and those actions which can be seen to be immoral.

On the higher level the Artificial Intelligence REG Mil operates the military, in many respects REG Mil is the exact same program as the REG-X, down to its cold practical personality, the exception between the two being the dual operation with analogue council.

Military Training

The construction and implimentation of artificial training packages into soldiers minds is costly and ultimately pointless as much comes from actual experience not seen in these packages, training remains mostly unchanged from pre cybernetic days, of course it has been adapted to allow for new improvements on the human genetic and cybernetic improvements.
