Main Imports: food supplies , oil , steel , wood , cattle , alcohol and most minerals and materials
Main Exports: Synthetic materials (strange substance called nylon and polyester ) Engineers , refined materials ,Military Training and expertise , technical training , rare metals
Economy: Lazzie Faire capitalism
Infrastructure: Large networks or sub-ice railways that criss cross the entire continent ; large numbers of military bases lie near the external reachs of the area with air bases lying toward the center . The largest possess actual hangers below the ice .
When you approach the absolute south the larger industrial Complex's go unseen below the ice and produce most things the citizens and soldiers need . There are only three ports were supplies are recieved and exported .
Army:
Entire populace is technically part of the Armed forces
20,000 Personel Active
2,000 Combat Personel
8,000 Reserve
Standard Battle Dress Uniform :
Plates are made of high strength modular steel and riveted in place to provide protection from shrapnel, Bullets and bayonets . This uniform is from the 16th Heavy Infantry Division

M2 Sturm gwether : (shown above M1 bayonet , M2 moved magazine to vertical position behind the grip ) Fires a 7.62x54mm steel cored bullet with a full metal jacket granting it excellent armor piercing capability . Sporting a twenty-five round box magazine to supply its semi-automatic firing capabilities it is a highly effective weapon system ... Now only if it didn't need so much maintenance
X8 Revolver : Issued to all Soldiers in the Covenant Army it holds seven .45 Caliber rounds in the "wheel " and seven in the internal tube magazine below the pistol . The Revolver double action mechanism as it cycles and shots are fired the operator can cycle the lever below the trigger ejecting spent rounds from the rear and loading new ones in a single smooth motion . It is know to malfunction when dirt enters the assembly causing an explosion when the hammer strikes

Aerial Fleet:
All class equivalents are compared to super power's classes
130 Frigate class airships -
Primarily patrol Covenant waters , assist navel vessels caught in ice , conducts anti-piracy operations . has twelve crewmen and Is roughy the size of a small fishing barge . Conduct cargo transport as Maritime role .
Maintains two ventrally mounted "clamps " for cargo
Three ventrally mounted "baskets " to on load and offload Personel.
Carry three 50 mm auto cannons on each side (ventral ,port ,starboard and top )
two turret mounted 75mm cannons on ventral side .
45 Destroyers -
Designed for fleet defense against aircraft and warfare against over airships , they are also capable of engaging Navel vessels effectively
Four turret mounted 75mm Cannons on ventral side with 110 degree firing arcs and 360 degree rotation
Six torpedo bays
Twelve 50mm autocannons distributed at key locations across airship to provide maximum coverage .
Held in dry dock during peace Time
20 Cruisers -
Primary for engaging heavy weight enemy vessels both air and sea based . Sports much thicker Armor plating and a more powerful Tesla core then similar sized destroyers .
Four 110mm Cannons mounted in two turrets along ventral side of vessel fires mainly HE and AP shells . Incorporate rail tracks around ship to allow turrets to travel granting 360 degree firing arcs
Twelve 50mm autocannons Mainly on port and starboard sides . (Port has 4 , Starboard has 4 ventral has 2 top has 2 )
Held in dry dock during peace time
20 Heavy Air carriers -
Primary Air transports for the Covenant military . Sport thick armor and large hanger bays but little in the way of armament that can harm other vessels
Carry 30 Tesla powered Kraken Fighters each .
Room to carry two Battalions of Imperial troops and enough supply's for three months deployment
Twenty 50mm autocannons on turret mounts spread around the airship to give it cover against enemy aircraft
The heavy air carriers of the Covenant are powerful but their tesla cores are pushed to the edge holding the large airship up by powering the turbines ... If someone were to simply disable one of the eight turbines it is possible that the over seven being over stressed from their new load would simply short circuit ... However each turbine is heavily armored and is only vulnerable during heat vents ..
Maritime role as Heavy Cargo haulers .
2 Experimental Tesla Dreadnoughts -
The pinnacle of The Covenants engineering prowness these huge airships rival the largest Dreadnoughts of other nations they sport armor nearly a meter thick in some areas . Nine Heavy Tesla cores power both weapons and twelve heavily armored turbines . Furthermore they have two heavily armored hanger bays carrying Kraken fighters for support . Deep within the armored hull a secondary Tesla system is in place in the event the primary system is either destroyed or Suffers malfunction . This secondary system supports three heavy Tesla cores that in an emergency can be used to keep the Dreadnought airborne and power limited weaponary . Only being recently constructed in the past year their combat ability is hugely untested but the designers hope it could hold its own against a small fleet at the very least .
Forty 50mm quad barrel autocannon turrets spread around the length of the airship providing air-cover to stop enemies from targeting the very vulnerable air control tower .
Six 110mm Cannons mounted three turrets , one starboard , port and ventral mounted . On a similar rail system to those mounted on Crusiers
Held in Military Bases during peace time , Acts as fortress when landed .
Goals: unclear . Speculation in Command suggest military expansion across the know world . Others suggest a peaceful expansion
History:
Originally when German and Swedish explorers along with a team of Swiss scientist headed to Antarctica on rumors
That an object of godly levels of power dwelled here . Four months Into their expedition one of the Swiss scientist went down with a brutal fever that lasted nearly a month . When he awoke he spoke of boundless energy that could be harvested with a wild construction . After years of work he presented a very primitive form of tesla core .
Years after his death many people migrated to a newly founded colony where the Swiss man had died . Over time the technology and understanding of the Tesla core grew expedtionally and soon a thriving nation was born out of fire , industry and freedom to believe what ever they chose a rarity in their day and age . Keeping mainly to themselves they have grown thoughout the years and with the newly promoted Lord Marshal preaching of forcing the world to respect the Covenant a large flux of experimental technologies was created . All across the world people were invited to have a home for them and their families free of persecutions . Soon Engineers from Germany , Architects from France and Italy and of course Warriors from America were all given offers to help build the Chancellors Newly founded Empire .. What awaits the Covenant no one knows ..
RP Sample:

Super-weapon Name: "Termite "
Picture: To be aquired ; details are classified
Description:
Deep core mining platform crewed by six men mounted on a large vehicle with a series of tracks . Upon deployment the cradle arms deploy to stabilize the physical drill from the intense winds . When resources are pulled from the ice they are transferred to Cargo containers that are loaded onto Frigates on hauler duty at the end of each week . These resources are then taken to Refinaries to produce ultra fine materials
Power Source: Four Steam engines supplemented by One Tesla power core for use in emergencies
Eeeh, goona have to keep this one on the back burner until Cal approves it.
