>>>>>>>>The Superpower of The Phoenix Milita is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.709 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator(Field Marshall Maximus Seville II), who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, and military service is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Phoenix Milita's national animal is the red fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the shell casing.

Economy TPM
Top of Page
Economy - overview:

TPM has one of the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of 29,055.83. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. TPM business firms enjoy considerably greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to entry in their rivals' home markets than the barriers to entry of foreign firms in TPM markets. TPM firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment. The onrush of technology largely explains the gradual development of a "two-tier labor market" in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits.The year 2001 saw the end of boom psychology and performance, with output increasing only 0.3% and unemployment and business failures rising substantially. Moderate recovery took place in 2002 with the GDP growth rate rising to 2.4%. A major short-term problem in first half 2002 was a sharp decline in the stock market, fueled in part by the exposure of dubious accounting practices in some major corporations. The war in March/April 2003 between a TPM-led coalition and Islamaisbad shifted resources to the military. In 2003, growth in output and productivity and the recovery of the stock market to above 10,000 for the Stock Industrial Average were promising signs. Unemployment stayed at the 6% level, however, and began to decline only at the end of the year. Long-term problems include inadequate investment in economic infrastructure, rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, sizable trade and budget deficits, and stagnation of family income in the lower economic groups.

National Anthem (Changes frequently)
Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord Yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave thier role to the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah

Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
And as God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord Yeah!

Field Marshall Maximus Seville II
Head of State

Age: 42
Height: 6'
Weight: 225 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Maximus Seville joined the Army when he was 17 years old, against the advice of his father, who wanted him to join the Air Force or Navy as a pilot. Max would have none of that, he was a mountain man at heart, more at home in the woods of Georgia or the mountains of New Mexico than out on a ship or stuck in some airbase. He Served in about 4 major conflicts as a paratrooper and was selected for Special Forces training at age 25. After a number of successful missions he unknowingly participated in an assault on an unarmed convoy. The convoy was carrying food and medical supplies, not Sarin gas as was reported by the foreign agents. This debacle stained his otherwise flawless military record. He was reduced in rank from Master Sgt. to Sergeant, and ejected from Special Forces. After fulfilling the rest of his enlistment in the active Army, he left the Army and joined his local Milita, based in Roswell, New Mexico. Little did he know, The Phoenix Milita would be engaged in a massive war just 5 months later. The scope of the conflict with a terrorist nation, in which several nations aligned with TPM had to be called upon, required TPM to deploy over 60% of the Militias and reserve units. Successfully leading his platoon on several assaults, he was field promoted from Platoon SGT. to Platoon Leader and given a field commission of 1st Lieutenant. After the war, he decided to transfer out of Infantry and try his hand at Army aviation. He was accepted for training and was assigned to the 55th Militia Air Wing, which operated A-10s. After flying A-10s for two years, and towards the end some A-17s, his father ordered him transfered to his staff and promoted him from Captain to Colonel, despite objections throughout the military and Max himself.. He was commander of the security forces in the mountain complex which his father was conducting (and losing) his foolish, "war against the world". To Maximus' horror, the forces which he commanded were completely wiped out when his father detonated a multi-megaton nuclear device, rather than allow joint forces to overcome and capture or kill TPM and allied units. Maximus Seville earned his current position by shooting his father in the back of the neck with a .357 Medusa.

Today he rules the citizens of TPM with a fair but firm hand, granting the populace the freedom to lead their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up, and has full support of the military and most of the citizens (Partially through choice and partially because dissenters tend to vanish from there homes in the middle of the night...) Maximus is wanted for approximately 120 crimes by Tyrador and "The Free and Legitimate government of TPM" He views both "governments" as terrorist organizations.
Other information
Maximus Seville is an avid hunter and a qualified pilot. He also spends what little free time he has looking after his large collections of knives, guns, cars, airplanes, and of course women. He has at least 7 children but he does not reveal who the mothers are. He has had children with at least two of his wives that he acknowledges but is estimated to have at least 7 other children.

She reports intel status daily, and it is rumored she does this from the lap of the Field Marshall... and answers only to Seville himself. She was one of the only child-students from the G-corp Military academy who did not go insane after returning.

Caused quite a stir upon her appointment, on the grounds that she had no
prior governmental experience and the only qualifications for the post came
from a failed 2 year attempt at college, majoring in accounting...
There are also many rumors that she was only appointed due to alleged
current or past romantic ties with Field Marshall Seville.
