Report on Government Priorities
The Constitutional Monarchy of Rocotia is an enclave of the faithful that encourages its citizens to focus their lives on the next world. The citizens of The Constitutional Monarchy of Rocotia, while mostly self-sufficient, still need help in the form of Welfare sometimes. The citizens of The Constitutional Monarchy of Rocotia generally tolerate the petty Administration officials who occasionally inject their presence into many citizens' and businesses' daily lives. While there is some sense of Social Equality in The Constitutional Monarchy of Rocotia, the government does not concentrate much of its time or budget on it leaving many out in the cold on social initiatives like education and employment. Rocotia is a strikingly beautiful nation of clear skies and pristine beaches which gives one an overwhelming sense of healthiness due to the fairly heavy governmental contributions to the Environment. While Rocotia has not neglected its Defence budget completely, the army is frequently spotted picking up trash along the highways as school children are shuttled around in re-purposed personnel carriers. The time-honored tradition of trading one thing for another is still practiced in The Constitutional Monarchy of Rocotia, where the government contributes a small part of its budget to support Commerce. Education in Rocotia is a very low priority as is often revealed when speaking to the average citizen on the street. The Public Transportation system of The Constitutional Monarchy of Rocotia is iffy at best due to a low budgetary priority and most citizens find any excuse not it use it. The divine realm is within sight of most of the citizens of Rocotia, who seek understanding and connectedness with a larger reality in the cosmos thanks to the nation's high contributions to its Spirituality budget. The HealthCare system in Rocotia is all-encompassing and permeates most facets of life incorporating everything from wellness to well-being, from exercise to employment, from scoop to nuts and most things in between. Crime is very low in The Constitutional Monarchy of Rocotia due to the current administration's enthusiasm for strict Law and Order policies in all facets of life.

Lenehen
In 754 AD after long years of resistance, the first Lenehenese tribes were defeated and Lenehen was swallowed up into the Holy Bigtopian Empire. When the empire crumbled in 1577 Lenehen was left in a state of anarchy as the soldiers that had once patrolled the streets and kept them safe from bandits and pirates withdrew to defend Bigtopia. Eventually communites rallied and formed bands of militia, which eventually became armies. These makeshift regiments carved out territory and fiercely defended it.
However these states were in a state of perpeptual war and for a while it seemed that the Lenehenese would be destroyed before they had a chance to prove themselves. But in 1644 a curiously charismatic man arrived on the shores of Lenehen and asked to be brought to the highest authority. His way with words was so inspiring, the Lenehenese felt obligated to obey him. Through his wise and fair leadership, Lenehen was united under one banner and prospered. This name of this man was never revealed (and if it was, it has been lost), but he was given the ceremonial name of 'Shas Au'nel' meaning 'The Great Father' or 'The Great Leader'. He bore no children to any Lenehenese woman and when he died many of the nobility came forward to place their claim to the throne. One of these aristocrats was known simply as 'The Count' and he bribed and murdered his way to power. He imposed a brutal dictatorial regime and many Lenehenese citizens suffered under his rule.
As if by an act of Divine Intervention, a descendant of The Great Father arrived in neighbouring Carloso, where he rallied an army of 12,000 expatriate and native men. Although this makeshift army was vastly outnumbered by the Lenehenese Royal Guard, they were joined by thousands of lenehenese civilians until their numbers swelled up to 48,000 strong. This force swept away all who stood before them and purged any remnant of the hated regime. This man was the young Prince George I of the House of Hannover. He decided to name this new nation 'Lenehen' from the Lenehenese words 'Lene' (Meaning fatherland) and 'Han' (which is a word untranslatable into english, but means a sense of patriotism and freedom), and this new nation would be given a new flag, a majestic eagle- watching the people of Lenehen and keeping them safe from harm.
In gratitude to their saviour, Lenehen promised to keep the nation of Hannoverians (the birthplace of George I) safe fom harm and although Lenehen has no official Royal Family, the House of Hannover are used for ceremonial events. This agreement has stood the test of time and is still going strong.
Nowadays, Lenehen is untouched by the ravages of war and is known for it's stunning environments, impressive national healthcare and it's lack of crime. The main tourist attractions are the peaceful rolling farmlands to the south, the lush jungles to the west and the historic castles to the east. It's main trade partner is Carloso, who buys roughly 32% of Lenehenese goods.
Lenehen's main natural exports are Steel, Coal, Oil, Wheat and Beef- although Lenehen is a major contender in the international arms market.

CREEEEEED
The Empire of the Great Wolf of CREEEEEED was founded only 150 years ago, upon the appointment of the great Leman Russ, the Great Wolf, as Imperator Perpetuus. In the year 1862, a coup was attempted against the reigning National Council by one General Magnus Kvarrson, and a thousand battle-hardened troops stormed the National Congress building, with the intention of taking both the National Council, and the National Parliament of CREEEEEED hostage and establishing himself as a dictator. Leman Russ, present in the Congress building for a military briefing, single-handedly killed every last traitorous soldier unarmed and unarmoured, miraculously without taking any serious wounds. In doing so he saved the lives of the 250-strong National Parliament, and the 10-strong National Council. Subsequently, he was named Imperator Perpetuus of CREEEEEED, and was named "The Great Wolf", and as such granted responsibility for the governance and protection of the Realm. He delegates much of the civil governance of the Empire to the National Council, although from time to time he is known to intervene on particularly poignant issues. Much of his time is spent guiding the industrial and scientific progress of CREEEEEED, and has single-handedly advanced CREEEEEEDs' technology and military capability decades ahead of most nations.
The years since the ascension of Russ have been mostly peaceful for CREEEEEED, with the notable exception of the war against the United Communist States, which saw the first deployment of the Imperator-class air (and later space) Cruisers and the Stone Men, the pride of CREEEEEEDs' military, and lead to the formation of the ACSN, the proud alliance of which CREEEEEED is a highly influential founding member. Later, tensions with New Babylonia lead to a series of border skirmishes, and eventually, a punitive war, which saw the Babylonian emperor surrender to Leman Russ personally. Since that time, however, the two nations have become solid allies, and each consitutes almost half of the others' foreign trade. In light of New Babylonia's naval blockade of Kings' Island, another important trading partner for CREEEEEED, tensions are on the rise again, but talks are underway to attempt to resolve the situation.
Recently, CREEEEEED announced that it had detected several unknown objects heading towards Earth, which originated beyond our Solar System. It is widely believed that these are extrasolar asteroids, but the possibility of extraterrestrial life has lit up conspiracy theory websites across the world, a situation not helped by the refusal of the Great Wolf to comment on the issue, nor by the massive increase in military training exercises and weapons exports that has occurred over the past several months.

Carloso (Currently 'New Carloso')
Carloso was founded in 1625 when a fleet of English and Spanish ships battled during a storm off the coast. Many ships were destroyed and the survivors washed up on the Lenehenese but mainly Carlossian coast where they claimed different parts for the Spanish and British empires. Soon oil and coal was discovered and millions flocked to Carloso with the population being 2,000 in 1625 to 30 million in 1630 and increasing on average by 5 million every year until even more oil and huge fields of gas being discovered in the west. The population was approaching 100 million by now and the people demanded independence seeing that they were incredibly rich. This came 29 years after it was first settled in 1654 with a population of 193 million and increasing by millions each year.
Today Carloso is still resource rich and its main exports are oil, zinc, lead and beef. Its main trading partner is The Glorious Empire of Lenehen as there is a huge demand for oil in the ever growing navy. According to a study in 2011 Carloso will run out of oil in 2134, gas in 2094, zinc in 2151 and lead in 2048.
Carloso has a Supreme Chancellor as head of government which serves for 7 years. The current Supreme Chancellor is Carl Philip Tobin. The head of state is the president who serves for 5 tears. The current president in Alice Ryan. Carloso is split up into 38 provincial boundaries each with their own parliament.
Carloso has been a great influence in regional politics. Carloso was the place where Prince George I of Hannover of Lenehen rallied an army of 12,000 expatriate and native men.
Carloso is very cultured and enjoys a positive worldwide reputation. Carloso has embassies to 819 nations. Carloso has been invaded once but was swiftly repelled and has experienced 6 civil wars, 2 rebellions and 3 uprisings all lead by Stalinist extremists which all failed. Carloso maintains a large army of 6 million soldiers. It has not much ocean territory except for 162,124 miles of land in area off the coast of Beningford and 418,293 miles of land off the coast of the San Deros islands in the far north of Carloso cut off from the rest of the world.
Carloso has a GDP of 47 Trillion Deros making it the third largest economy in the ACSN.
Carloso has had an active space program since 1942 when the first Carlossian was launched into space. The Carlossian space fleet consists of 8 shuttles, 17 fuel tanks, 29 secondary tanks, 2 space stations (MIRAT & CRST) and 18 cargo shuttles. Carloso has 3 lunar bases and 2 lunar mines on the moon. It also has a mine on mars and a research facility on Pluto where they test how weapons perform in space. Carloso has 300 satellites in orbit around earth, 25 around the moon and 4 around mars.
