Your Nation's Fact of the Week

[Ilahistan]

If you see a soldier, look like a militant, with closed head, a rifle, and black clothes, you might be run with screaming something like, "TERRORISTS!! AL QAEDA!! HAMAS!! TALIBAN!!! SUICIDE BOMBER!!"

[Coccygia]

We wish to report that progress has been made¹ on our Official² National Anthem, ’Coccygia, the Vestigial Tail of the Peninsula’³.

’Coccygia, the vestigial tail of the peninsula,
The home of the comparatively inexpensive,
Though our attitudes may be somewhat insular,
Our country is not at all immensive⁴.’

That’s as much as we have so far.


¹Namely, we finally got past the first line.^5
2Unofficial National Anthem: ‘99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall’.
³Sung to the tune of ‘Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean’, but not very well as it doesn’t fit the meter.
⁴We’re not entirely happy with this line.
⁵And found a rhyme for ‘peninsula’.^6
6Admittedly not a terribly good one.^7
7If you don’t like it, you can go find a rhyme for ‘orange’. So there.

Maginot Sphere & Gehenna

The Maginot Sphere is a defensive tactic deployed only when the Empire is under threat, and consists of deploying the different Branches of the Imperial Self Defense Force (Army, Navy, Space Navy, State & Territorial Guard, and the Imperial Scorpion Guard) on the borders of the Empire, its states and territories, as well as the gates ofthe Imperial Palace, and other government buildings and residences, to defend them from the impending attack.
Gehenna (Hell in Hebrew) is an offensive tactic, deployed when the Empire wants to expand its borders. It consists of deploying all branches of the ISDF (except the Imperial Scorpion Guard, and the State & Territorial Guard). Basically what we do is first we launch EMPs to the country and/or territory that we wish to add to the Empire (to prevent any of their weapons and other electronic devices from working) then we launch carpet bombings, then we launch warheads with biowarfare, then we launch Nuclear Warhead ICBMs, to level the ground up, and then send infantry and other vehicles all EMP hardened, and using HAZMAT protecting material, to storm through the land and eliminate any organism that escaped the initial phases of Gehenna.

[Agymnum]

Kashtilag, the Agymnum homeworld and capital planet, has molten lava at its surface. Due to the internal imbalances of the planet's core, the southern hemisphere of the planet is constantly, violently, shifting its continental plates. This exposes lava to the surface and creates lava oceans and lakes in place of water. The northern hemisphere behaves much like Earth, with solid continents and water-based oceans and seas.

Due to heat emitted from the surface lava in the southern hemisphere at regular intervals, the land there is generally unfit for human habitation. Only a few fringe cities exist, and these are mainly power stations which are linked to the northern hemisphere, providing safe and efficient geothermal power to the residential and commercial districts of the major cities. This frees up fossil fuels and hydrothermal power for the numerous research and industrial complexes that dot Agymnum's business landscape.
