New Tauron

WORK IN PROGRESS

Nation Information
New Tauron is a well developed, and mature nation located in the central Queensland area of the former Commonwealth of Australia. New Tauron is a Republican Sovereignty led by Genghis who is generally asleep around midday and doesn't like to answer the phone until he has screened the call. Currently the republic is a member of The Grand Lodge of Freemasons. The nation's main exports are Fish and Silver; the main imports are aluminum, cattle, iron, lumber, marble, pigs, spices, sugar, wheat, and water.

The citizens are primarily of mixed ethnicity who follow mixed religions. Most claim to be either Jedi or Pastafarian on the national census but the lack of Lightsabers and Flying Spaghetti Monsters indicate otherwise. New Tauron's technology is first rate and its citizens marvel at how well they can play Halo online or use their iPhone wherever and whenever they like. It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs and will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. New Tauron is currently against nuclear technology but that is only because they don't have the capability.

Plans are on the way within New Tauron to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Unfortunately, this is well behind schedule due to the contractors being stoned most of the time. New Tauron allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to break the occasional kneecap or make the trouble maker 'disappear', if you know what I mean. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to spend a few years in a military holding yard while they are processed. New Tauron believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government, as long as it positive. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to line its own pockets first. New Tauron will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens. They do that through a middle man.

Game Play History of New Tauron
New Tauron was founded on December 08, 2007 by Genghis. The capital city was named Concord Dawn. The nation is a republican sovereignty, with Genghis as Ruler who sees and hears all. On the same day as the nations founding, Genghis aligned New Tauron with The Grand Lodge of Freemasons alliance.

The citizens of New Tauron love the national animal, the Chihuahua and at times the combined yapping sets off car alarms or triggers the evacuation of entire communities.

New Tauron Policies & Opinions
New Tauron requires all citizens, male and female, to register with the Defence Force at the the age of eighteen. All recruits are required to undertake military training and service for a 12 month period. Upon completion they can continue on in the military on a voluntary basis.

The education system of New Tauron is made up of both private and public educational sources. Public schools follow more closely to their state's department of education, while private schools can have more customized policies. In all public schools, both, evolution and creationism, are taught along side each other, and the children are left to make their decision. Usually that decision is that Genghis brought them into this world and he will most definitely take them out.

Gun ownership in New Tauron is fully legal although in order to own a gun, the citizen must have an up to date license and more than 3 teeth. Some weapons, mostly automatics and some semi-automatics, are not allowed for ownership by citizens for safety reasons. These weapons are available to crazed gunmen and cult leaders however.

Alcohol cannot be purchased until the age of eighteen. It can be consumed at any age, just not purchased unless you are 18.

Medical marijuana is legalized, though it is strictly regulated and only medical patients who absolutely need it will get it.

Illegal immigration has a zero-tolerance policy in New Tauron. Aliens must be taken to the leader and promptly probed in all orifices....oh, not that sort of illigal aliens....my bad.

The Great Monument of Swindon
The first wonder to ever be constructed within the nation of New Tauron was The Great Monument of Morrigan. The memorial was dedicated to Lady Morrigan of the ODN due to her strong will and upstanding membership, even when she faced a painful death within her family. Dedicated on December 10th, 2007 the monument stands in a popular park of the Gemeinsame Tiefländer district. Lady Morrigan is depicted at the top, and two birds surround her, the one at the bottom of the monument symbolizes a hope for peace in her family, while the other symbolizes the soul of her loved one which is now free from pain and suffering.
