Cyberia



Cyberia
The Antarctic State of Cyberia (sī-bîr′ē-ə [Listen]) is a country spanning the entirety of the continent of Antarctica. At 5.4mil square miles (14mil square kilometers), Cyberia is the second largest country by area, behind Russia. It is a state run almost exclusively by its military, which has been an integral component of Cyberia since its inception.

The country has a culture mixed majorly between 21st century American and Russian facets and features, owing to the US and RU militaries and civilian workers that formed its foundation more than one hundred and eighty years ago. Following the militant takeover of Antarctic mines, the Russian and American separatist brigades held their ground against counterattacks and through many years of steady fighting, and formed into a new resource-rich nation founded on militant defense.

Now in the 23rd century, the dissolution of the United States and the backing down of Russia, left Cyberia standing as a primarily defensive, technological superpower that is continuously improving itself whilst watching its territory vigilantly. Much of its military might is contained within its borders and in close contact with the civilian population. What limited physical outreach to other countries it holds is largely through trade, and less so through joint operation and training.

Though its military personnel dwarfs the civilian population, the military plays a significant if not the most important role in the provision of quality of life for its citizens. The citizens in turn provide able bodies for enlistment and economic stability and prosperity for the country as a whole. Enlistment is culturally regarded by many, but not all, to be the duty of every able citizen.

As it stands in its present state, Cyberia is a country of diverse tastes and personalities much like their 21st century origins. Its government can be regarded as authoritarian only when its rulings are challenged, much like the notion that a bees' nest will not attack unless provoked. Otherwise, it makes noticeable effort to form most of its rulings around the population's majority interests, usually through direct majority voting.

The country, at the present time, considers itself neutral to all countries and factions that it does not have an alliance with, however it is officially "always watching", which not-so-subtly reinforces the image of iron defense the country is known for. Furthermore, after the dissolving of NATO and other such mass-treaties, Cyberia is one of many countries that no longer acknowledges the authority of old war treaties such as the Hague Conventions and Geneva Conventions, though some humanitarian practices are still in effect, for example the non-targeting of assisting Red Cross soldiers.

c The culled imperial system is a heavily trimmed set of US customary units. Officially recognized base units include inches, feet, miles, ounces, pounds, teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints, quarts, gallons, and Fahrenheit. Data rates are measured in bytes instead of bits.

dMost of Cyberia's governmental offices require its personnel to be currently serving in the country's military. This is known as a stratocracy. It is a unitary system, wherein central power presides and governs all regulations, laws, etc. throughout the whole country.
