Catamount

Nation Information
Cullowhee is a small, developing, and old nation with citizens primarily of Italian ethnicity whose religion is Voodoo. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Cullowhee work diligently to produce Sugar and Fish as tradable resources for their nation. It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs. It will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. Cullowhee is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned. Plans are on the way within Cullowhee to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Cullowhee allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Cullowhee believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Cullowhee will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

New Pacific Order
Catamount applied to join the New Pacific Order on April 5th, 2011. As his AA was that of an applicant to the NPO, Catamount has been attacked by hostile nuclear capable nations since the Doomhouse-NPO War took place at that time. Although his nation was terribly devastated by Pacifica's enemies, his admirable courage to fight them the best he could did not remain unnoticed.

His application was approved on April 10th by Klonopin, and Catamount attended to the Imperial Academy. In the Academy, he learned the ways of the Order as well as the glorious history of Pacifica. On April 11th, 2011, Catamount became a full member of Pacifica after he had passed his exam.

Friendship and Camaraderie
Brucemna, Madd of Modra and Dan100 are some of the most influential persons within the NPO to Catamount. Madd was his first friend in Pacifica, Dan100 is his superior in most of the departments he works in and helped Catamount to get to know his duties. Brucemna has always been there for Catamount and served as his de facto Mentor.

Future Aspirations
Catamount strives to continue performing his best for Pacifica and to grow his nation.

Media
Catamount cherishes his work for Media the most. As an Artifex Pacificae for Graphics, serving underneath Kean and Lord of Darkness, he creates signatures and other pieces of work. While Catamount is of the opinion he is not too good at performing this duty, he finds he has some abilities in doing it. His most favorite division within Media is Broadcasting where he serves underneath Jgolla. Catamount loves to broadcast his nightly shows. His most memorable moment was when he broadcasted his first show. In his own words:

It just felt really good like I was doing my own thing to contribute to the NPO and getting people engaged and bringing them music that they like.
