Nation Information
This is second incarnation of Free Quebec. Free Quebec is a proud nation with rich culture and history on the green team.

Founding
In February of 2010, on one bored night, Free Quebec was persuaded to create a nation again. Old guard sent so much aid into it that letting delete from inactivity was too rude. So the nation is still here and growing large again.

Wars
Great War III Free Quebec fought as member of Old Guard. We pummeled Pierce of NpO until he squealed like baby. It took two days. Green Civil War Free Quebec fought as member of Viridian Entente. The war was short, but bitter. As green teams senator, we ended up sanctioning several GGA government and members as retribution for illegal war.

The Flags
Free Quebec uses two flags that symbolize where the nation comes from in inspiration and history. Viridian Entente Free Quebec has been in many green team alliance. But Viridian Entente is the one that. Free Quebec became most immersed with. Because of good people like Egore, Rudeboy and Ardus, we made real friends that were loyal.

Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms of The Cheeselands is a powerful symbol in the county and is also full of several national symbols itself. In the middle is a shield with the national flag depicted on it. On top of the shield is a Shadow Eagle, a symbol of greatness within country. Flanking the shield are two wild Cheeselandic antelope on either side, representing courage, elegance and pride. Below the shield is an example of local Cheeseland flora symbolic of survival and national fortitude. Below all of this is the national motto: Unity, Liberty, Justice.

Terrain
The Cheeselands is currently a growing nation with a size of over one thousand square miles. The upper portion of The Cheeselands has a temperate climate while the lower portion is somewhat warmer and is said to be somewhere in between a tropical and temperate climate. The Cheeselands is located near several of the Great Seas of the North in which it's entire north and west borders are covered mostly by them. One of these seas is also located within the Cheeselands and is known as the Great Sea of Phyrexia. It lies within the state of Phyrexia and also contains another state, the Island of Rhaat. The Cheeselands' high point is Mount Pie at 4,516 feet, which is only 15 miles away from the low of 531 feet at the shore of Lake Phyrexia. Notwithstanding dramatic local differences in elevation and the scattered forests, much of the country is composed of gentle plains between the large man-made cities. Besides the most well known lake, the Great Sea of Phyrexia, the Cheeselands contains many other large and small lakes including two others which when put together cover roughly the same amount of space as the Sea of Phyrexia.

Climate
The climate throughout the country is mild and temperate with temperatures rarely falling below 0 °C (32 °F) or rising above 30 °C (86 °F) in populated areas. Conditions vary sharply across regions from extremely wet on the coast of the Great Sea of Phyrexia to semi-arid the Desert Basin of inland Mobius and subtropical in Northland. Of the main cities, Zone 7 is the driest, receiving only some 25 in of rain per year. Central City, the wettest, receives almost twice that amount.

Sports

The various Cheeselandic stats have always their own local popular sports but the Cheeselands itself has never actually had any national sports or national sports teams. Recently however, ShadowDragon has applied the Cheeselands to join the Transvaal World Cup. It will be the Cheeselands first international sporting tournament. A team has been chosen for this event but a name for it has not yet been decided. Voting is currently going on to see what is the most popular name.

Military
The United Cheeselandic Armed Forces or UCAF are the main military services of the Cheeselands. In general, it refers to the four active components, more commonly known as branches, of the military services of the Cheeselands:


 * United Cheeselandic Army (UCA)
 * United Cheeselandic Air Force (UCAF) or United Rebublic of the Cheeselands Air Force (URCAF)
 * United Cheeselandic Navy (UCN)
 * Elite Guard of the Cheeselands (EGC)
 * Cheeselandic Intelligence Agency (The Agency)

The Army


The United Cheeselandic Army or UCA is the largest and oldest branch of the armed forces of the Cheeselands. Like all armies, it has the primary responsibility for land-based military operations. As of November 2007 the peacetime Army of the Cheeselands contains around 19,000 active troops. These troops are split up into several squads and divisions:


 * Armored Corps
 * 1st Armored Division (The Flying Tigers)
 * 2nd Armored Division (The Crimson Wolves)
 * 3rd Armored Division (The Devil Dogs)
 * Infantry Corps
 * 1st Infantry Division (The Big Number 1)
 * 2nd Infantry Division (The Untouchables)
 * 3rd Infantry Division (The Predators)

The Air Force


The United Cheeselandic Air Force or UCAF sometimes also called the United Rebublic of the Cheeselands Air Force or URCAF is the current air force of the Cheeselands. The Cheeselands has purchased the top of the line bombers and fighters with a maximum number of the aircrafts. The pilots are given tough training and constant exercises around The Cheeselands itself to make sure they are in perfect condition in case their need is ever called upon. As of now the Air Force has never been needed or used.

The Navy
The United Cheeselandic Navy or UCN was created on July 9, 2008 by decree of the ShadowDragon with the christening of the Cheeselands first naval ships. The ShadowDragon has already set a plan for the enlargement of the Cheeselands' peacetime naval forces, sending in orders for several new ships to be constructed. The ShadowDragon wishes for the country to have one of the world's top navies. This is due to the fact that several naval technology discoveries have been made recently allowing for many nation's in the world to begin constructing ships, creating a sort of Naval Race between the nations of the world.

The Elite Guard


The United Cheeselandic Elite Guard or UCEG are a group of warriors handpicked by the Council of Bacon. These guards are known as the Immortals due to the fact it is invariably kept up to strength; if a man is killed or falls sick, the vacancy he left is at once filled, so that the total strength of the corps is never less and never more than three thousand. Of all the troops in Cheeselandic army, these native Cheeselandic people are not only the best but also the most magnificently equipped. The dress of these troops consisted of a special emblem on their embroidered armor, a powerful layer of extra armor over their cloths which give them a fearsome look. They also carry a special light shield of sorts which can block many bullets, ammo belts below around their chest, and even short spears bayonets of sorts easily accessible under their sleeves. Their main weapons are powerful yet light machine guns and bows with special poison arrows, and two special daggers on their belts beside the right thigh. When going to battle they are equipped with a special helmet/mask which matches the armor and makes them all look basically the same and which is also used to strike fear into their enemies. They have great battle strength and agility. They are constantly trained in order for them to become stronger. They are the Elite Guard and bodyguards of the great ShadowDragon himself and the protectors of Bacon.

The Agency
Most of the details of the Cheeselandic Intelligence Agency, usually just referred as The Agency, are classified but what is known is that it's membership includes some of the Cheeselands top spies. The Agency's prime directive, as it's name suggests, is to collect information. When needed, however, it's members are also equipped for far more top secret and dangerous missions.
