Munijoch, or as officially known, The Democratic Republic of Munijoch, is a large, relatively calm country in the Northern Antarctic. Up until 2013, it has been under communist rule. However, with changes from within the power, it gradually went into a state much like a federated republic. This, however, was not officially declared until June 2nd, 2013, when the WhiteBlood party finally went out of power, replaced by the Malkov Reformists. At a population of roughly 100,000,000 citizens, in total, the country has learned to make use of the space it has by opening up underground societies and high skyscrapers in the cities, often housing thousands of apartments. Their Motto is Sociatis a communi ordine and their national motto is Clash of Destiny.

Colonized by natives thousands of years ago, but only recently discovered by Eric Slavistoski, the country's original president and founder, Munijoch was founded under democratic ideals, but was soon extinguished by WhiteBlood faction leader Mark Yslenski, whom staged a coup on December 3rd, and held an iron grip for many years afterwards. While the society was mostly communist, the WhiteBloods believed in efficiency, establishing a large infrastructure of railways, roads, and separate street levels in cities for trucks to deliver goods. Population growth and immigration allowed the population to swell up even more with the promise of jobs and a stable government. Thanks however to Victor Malkov and Joseph Yslenski, the current president, Munijoch broke free of the the communistic regime and began a new era of democracy. By 2014, Munijoch was able to quickly gain notice of multiple countries, such as Shops Island and began to form alliances with them.

The economy of Munijoch is dominated by a very strong Information Technology industry, trading to many nations throughout the region, including the Axle Powers members like Ed Island or other countries such as Felipenas. While they are not part of SABER, they partake in heavy trade, including wood, oil, coal, natural gas, weaponry, and depleted Uranium, as well as enriched Uranium to Shops Island specifically for their program, since they do not have a huge need for it at the moment, other than select uses in PULSE for classified weaponry.

They are working toward nuclear state status once again through heavy research, following the nuclear meltdown in 1999 of Hudison City, and has a hyperspace drive in testing stages.

A member of both The Axle Powers and The Zeta Connections, Munijoch itself existed for thousands of years, but has only recently began to express itself in Antarctic politics, becoming a country officially in 2000. Despite it's young age, it's quickly rising to become a formidable player on the global stage, boasting many opportunities for immigrants, such as government assistance for education, jobs, and welfare.

Etymology[edit]

Munijoch is from Munisian, 'muni' meaning "as one," 'joch' being "we stand." Up until 2013, the communist government made the citizens believe it meant "the WhiteBlood must rule," however, recent lingual history findings in many old and forgotten libraries that existed before the making of Munijoch say that it meant above. This did not stop the WhiteBlood's cause, however, and to this day, they still believe it means "the WhiteBlood must rule."

Origins[edit]

In late August 1988, soon-to-be founder of Munijoch Eric Slavistoski, landed on the coast of Munijoch and wandered into the woods. Soon, he met an old sage, named Haseca Munijoch, the leader of the local tribe. He told him that it was his destiny to found a free, independent, and sovereign state, to be named whatever he desires. For the next 2 months, Eric spent his time looking around Munijoch, walking what is now known as the Great Hunt Trail. He noticed many tall, cavernous canyons and valleys, but also a large amount of flat land.

Declaring with utmost joy, he stuck a pole into the ground, soon to be the foundation of the City of Progress, and ventured back to where he came, only to find that the sage was not there. In disbelief, he looked around for clues, only finding the path of a Grizzly Bear paw print, walking into the fireplace. Mystified, he said to himself,

"I shall name this fair land after the person of which whom inspired me to, Munijoch."

And that was the start of a grand adventure.

Geography[edit]

Munijoch, being an island, is oddly land-locked like, with many mountain and valleys, as well as basins, some of which are filled with water. A fjord is located on the eastern side of the island, nearby Mt. Vespa City. The mountains and rolling hills are covered with red flowers, about the color of Munijoch's flag. Daisies and Tulips are also common, those of which gain Munijoch's white and yellow star.

Much of the land is covered in lakes or bodies of water. Beaches are commonly found in the south, only opening when it's warmer in the year. Dense forests are found in the north or central area of Munijoch, populated with Grizzly Bears or other creatures, and are used for paint ball tournaments during the winter. A volcano is semi-active on the island, causing it to be warmer than most other nations in the north during the year due to it's magma chamber heating the ground to a toasty 70 degrees in the summer, and cooling to a 20 to -10 degree low in the winter. That same volcano produces Munijoch's under ground lava lake, which can be toured via a cave system and ropes.

History[edit]

Munijoch has had a long, war filled history, but was filled with history before colonization.

Arrival[edit]

It's been theorized by scientists that Munijoch was first visited by ancient penguins from present day USA around the year 800. By then, Munijoch was still volcanic, spewing out magma on the west side of the island, near where present day Mt. Vespa City is. As such, the natives colonized only the east side, extending up into present day Rio de Vatica later on. They made primitive ancient huts of wood and grass, using the flowers in the plains and valleys to make pigments, paints, and crowns to signify royalty and classes. They appeared to have a basic understanding of The Infinite Engine, however, and used it as a way to sanitize water from dirty lakes by channeling electric energy into copper ore and using it to maintain a spark and boil the water.

By the year 1000, the population sprung to 5,000,000, and they were rapidly developing ways to control, maintain, and organize population. They figured out a way to create a second floor by taking logs and placing filling in between the rounded edges of it to create a comfortable floor. Stairs were primitive, and often were just vine ladders or ropes. In addition, different chieftains created tribes, springing up modern day cities and controlling population growth outside of them.

Ancient Modernization[edit]

In 1100, stone crafting became mainstream after obsidian was beginning to be used as a tool to craft stone into bricks, power, etc. Using this powder, they created a sticky paste to be used as plaster or cement to hold bricks together and paste walls to make them look appealing. By using wood and stone building techniques, they were able to extend all the way up to 4 floors and create huge monuments, such as a temple still standing today in Rio de Vatica to serve as a meeting ground between chieftains. Due to this, the population rose quickly to 20 million, and the chieftains met to quickly find a way to control the population growth before it grew to astronomical proportions. They decided it would be best to let it grow, and once it got to a certain point, extend the boundaries to within 50 sq. mi of the city, to which they needed to expand upward.

The plan worked, and while cities grew in width, they also grew in height, giving rise to buildings up to 6 stories in height, allowing population to reach a cool 30 million by 1400.

In the process, they adopted a standard language to speak, formed by annunciations of common day English words and other German root words.

The Golden Era[edit]

In the 1500's the population grew to 35 million, giving rise to a new way to dress and use metals. While a majority of people frowned upon this and even went to the country to maintain their lifestyle, others welcomed it, allowing for copper, quartz, and other minerals to be used in craft. All was not well, however, and disaster soon struck.

A mysterious illness known as "Blue Fever" struck, killing half of the population over a 490 year period. It caused the victim to asphyxiate from a swollen windpipe, turning them blue. Bodies were burnt to prevent spreading, and the population dwindled to only 17 million, the majority of which were in the country.

Cartography of the region[edit]

In 1990, USA native Eric Slavistoski began to cartograph a region up north of Antarctica that had yet to be explored. There, he saw a rocky island with tall mountain island chains. He took note of the shape and drew up a basic map in 1991. He had bigger aspirations though. While he saw smoke coming from the country, indicating that there was a native population, he wanted to colonize it. After 9 years of saving up, he decided to pitch his idea to people to visit the new found land. He ran into several complications, however, along the way.

Meanwhile, the native population rose to 20 million, and they began considering sending messages in an attempt to contact other seafarers.

Recruitment to the Country[edit]

Knowing for a fact it is hard to get people into a country on such short notice, Eric devised a plan. He proposed that on October 12th, he would post offers of a new land "rich in resources, land, and possibly minerals." This got over 5 million people collectively over Antarctica to join him in his hunt. This resulted in a wide diversity of different penguins. On October 15th, they sailed to the land he had found.

What he said, was in fact, true. There was lots of land, lots of resources, including water, wood, rocks, and mineral veins of Gold, Silver, etc. Within the span of a month, they would establish the first city, aptly named, the City of Progress, where the pole stood in the ground.

The First Month[edit]

During the first month as an unrecognized state, they faced somewhat little hardships. Water was plentiful, natives were almost non-existent, and they were watching their waste. Recycling is a big factor in this, and to this day, in the original city section, you can see piles of eco-bricks lining the original townhouses. The newly discovered energy source, Solar, was heavily implemented into the city, and the City almost used no gasoline and coal burning for electricity. Most cars were Nitrogen powered, with a solar panel roof and electric charger just in case. Their staple crop were Corn, Sugar, and Wheat. Cattle were brought for Dairy products, Ham, clothing material, and feathers. Fish was popular as well.

The city, eventually, grew too populated to be handled, and citizens started to make new colonies, almost clones of the original, except they made changes based on what they want. Johan Hudson made the Hudson City colony, and used Nuclear for power. Mistreatment of this, however, led to a nuclear fallout in the same month. To this day, it is still radioactive.

December[edit]

Seeing that the state was progressing, Eric made a multi-city announcement, saying that he needs the mayors of each city to come the main Palace, and have a meeting with him. The mayors, Henry Docson, Zescore Malkov, Victor Malkov, and Gerald Judison arrived, and were presented with a document, stating his plans on independence, and how the new government would work. They immediately signed it, and on Munijoch's national holiday, New Leaf Day, declared it's existence as a state in the Northern Antarctic.

The economy roared, as well as the population. Everyone was ecstatic on Munijoch's statehood. It appeared everyone supported the idea of a state collectively unified for it's general welfare.

Seeing as they were together, everything Eric wanted came to be, a united state, powerful industry, free citizens, and environmental harmony. Everything went okay, until...

C-Day[edit]

On December 3rd, Gerald Judison led a military march to the City of Progress, declaring him the leader of the WhiteBlood political party, and went to the front door of the new President. The Munijoch Armed Forces tried to stop him, but got trampled over the supremacy of his army. When asked why Gerald was invading, he only gave this response.

"I been by your side since day one, Eric. I hungered for a unified state, yes, but one of which TRUE unification is shown. Your government did not provide that, and was too weak to even stop a militia of Judison City. You do not deserve office, old friend. Say good-bye."

He immediately shot Eric in the head, stepped up on to the podium, and hung the WhiteBlood banner down, declaring "a new age of Munijoch." Armed forces around him, he dawned the White Blood Coat of Office, and declared Munijoch a Dictator-Communist society.

The future of Munijoch seemed dark, and with no other state aware of this, rebellion was low.

The Dark Times[edit]

According to the Munijoch Natl. Texts, The time between December 3rd, 2000, to August 21st, 2012, was a time of fear, uncertainty, and sadness. The WhiteBlood party dominated for a long time in the elections, having no one up against them, as political parties were outlawed. The mayors, Victor and Zescore Malkov were secretly plotting a way out of this tyranny, while Henry Docson thought there was no hope.

Much of the population was condemned to working in shoe factories for its population, exports sometimes being shipped to other nations. The economy fell into a sad, depressing state, with inflation rising due to Judison's lack of knowledge in forming a state.

Despite the darkened times, secret Capitalism was formed, weighing a price based on trade in Grams. These often occurred in the city's sewer systems.

When the WhiteBloods took over, everything Munijoch made was immediately made into a job the society does. Environmental laws were vetoed, and the entire island became almost in a perpetual, leafless world. However, on August 21st, 2012, Victor and Zescore placed a plan they had into action. It would forever change the way we see them in the remaking of Munijoch today.

The 2012 Reform[edit]

Victor and Zescore plotted a string of bombs under the City of Progress, cutting it off from resources, leaving it defenseless. The two cities, Zescore City and Malkov were allied for the first time, against the entire communist government. The immediately declared all area around their cities as an entire state within the island, naming it "Zekov," and smuggled victims into it.

Meanwhile, in the City of Progress, informants were hired to snipe military officials. Their first target were Military Sergeants, working their way up, until the military was neutralized. On January 3rd, 2013, they began on the government. The instructions were to start on the lawyers, then to the main target, Dictator Judison.

On June 23rd, Dictator Judison was cornered in office, and pleaded for mercy:

"Please! Please, I beg of you! Let me go! I'll revert the government, you name the leader, he's the leader! Don't kill me! Please!"

The sniper replied,

"True evil doesn't deserve to live, WhiteBlood scum."

Judison was found, shot and killed in office.

Democratic Control[edit]

On June 23rd, the same day, Victor Malkov was declared President of the newly re-united Munijoch. He made the WhiteBlood politcal party illegal to run with, communism the worst form of religion, and made Munijoch a Democratic Republic. He immediately released prisoners from prison, reestablished the economy, and cut off gasoline factories in place for eco-friendly factories, ran on solar power and Nitrogen.

All WhiteBlood banners were taken down, then burned.

Fall of the Malkovs[edit]

In the middle of August 2013, Joseph Yslenski, the now-president, was visited by Victor to make sure Zescore, a brother nation neighboring Munijoch, was kept in line. The result spiraled into a war beyond comprehension, that luckily, has been recorded. See this file for full information on the subject. In a blinding light, Eric reappeared with a brightness unseen by anyone, and he granted Joseph office, making him the 3rd President of Munijoch. Within a half hour, sadly, he faded, giving a heart-wrenching speech to his "children."

Present Day[edit]

Newly Elected President Joseph Yslenski and First Lady Maria Santiago now reside in the palace, vowing never for this to happen again, and promising a brighter future for Munijoch and their relations to other countries.

The Axle Powers[edit]

In a sudden flux of power, Joseph, in a meeting with General Broseph, Lavender, and other military officials from Shops Island and Culldrome Isles, established towards the end The Axle Powers. Later, with an additional meeting with Ed Island officials, gained a new member. The four nations are in a pact of trade, political, and military power.

Munijoch exports it's wood and minerals to the allied nations in exchange for military weapons.

Rage against the dying of the Light[edit]

In a fit of rage, Warchief and Commander of the Military Isaac Juggernaut stormed the capital with his troops and prisoned the President on house imprisonment. Being next in line, he proclaimed himself President and Warchief of Munijoch and secured power by changing Munijoch's flag into the present-day Flag of Decimation. He promised no severance of trade or alliances will be altered, but Munijoch will conquer more islands, step up Nuclear production, and increase the Vanguard Force size.

Post-Frosian War[edit]

In the aftermath of the Frosian War, as well as a WhiteBlood takeover and almost collapse of the democratic government, Munijoch accepted seven billion WB's from the Pink Heart Plan in an effort to rebuild. Originally, they were offered much, much more, however, Isaac declined that, citing the "strong will of Munijoch and it's denizens to rebuild and restructure it's fair land in the face of chaos and turmoil." Many buildings, a majority of which were residential, were immediately repaired and reinforced, as well as government buildings, complete with more thorough barriers, security points, and outposts.

Meanwhile, still reeling in the wrath of Isaac's takeover, the exiled President, Joseph, plots to retake his position by the same means as Isaac did, by any means necessary, for the good of the country. He, however, plans to keep the "empire" like system in check until Munijoch eventually grows tired of the system, keeping all former policies introduced by Isaac into strong effect.

Space Exploration Era[edit]

Following the stabilization of the govt., Isaac was ousted due to war crimes and Joseph was rescued and brought back into position. Due to the Frosian War's effect on the child population and casualties, Joseph launched the Jumpstart Bill to encourage economic stimulus and divert education funds to a new Space Agency known as the MGA.

He also stated he still strongly believes in the Axle Powers and offers any country to use their technology for use in space exploration in exchange for partial rights toward the area the ships were used to conquer.

Trade[edit]

Munijoch, when discovered, had a ton of minerals. These were used in numerous ways, such as jewelry, semi-conductors, and clocks. Gallium found a way to create a super metal called Munijoch Steel, a metal created via the constant reforging to create nanotubes in the metal, being among the strongest in the region. They export that, gold, silver, jewelry, Semi-Truck auto components, and wood. It's in a superb shape, mainly due to the recent companies springing up within it.

It's water has been a cause for discussion, as many people compare it's taste as a sweet, mineral filled sensation. Studies shown that Munijoch residents are 40% more capable of a disaster/sport event then most others, due to the mineral water. This has also caused the crops to be extremely nutritious, some areas in the mainland having crops go well above $100 a pound, however in Munijoch, it goes for the normal price.

A 1 Gram Bill from Munijoch.

Munijoch does not outsource jobs- all businesses conduct business within it, believing strongly in mercantilism. They are strongly capitalist, and believe in an open-market society, limited to placement of work, however. Every Munijoch resident has a right to a job, age not limiting anything. This ideological viewpoint has allowed the economy to prosper and expand.

The treasury department mints bills and coins for the grams, up to $1,000 grams, however, they are trying to move everyone to a chip and pin based card system to maximize efficiency in banks and store transactions. The average GDP per capita is $75,150 Polarian Dollars.

Major Companies[edit]

PULSE: Manufacturer of high tech military goods, heavily invested and controlled by the government.
DRONE: Manufacturer of autonomous military weaponry and planes, branch of PULSE.
Gallium: Metal company that created Munijoch Steel, pioneer of metallurgy. PULSE has a stake in it.
Tuering: Hi-tech combustion fire-arm company owned by PULSE.

Exports[edit]

Wood
Iron
Valuable Metals
Mineral Water
Military Weaponry

Imports[edit]

Gas
Oil
Porcyal from Axle Powers

Politics[edit]

The main government is divided into 3 main powers, the Council of Powers, a Senate, and the House of the Public. Within the Council of Powers, the head councilmen, the President, and his co-head, the Vice-President, meet with 5 other members to discuss and bring into laws and events hosted by the government.

The Senate, consisting of 19 members, overlooks that those laws are orderly, and votes whether to make it an actual law, if the case, getting back to the President to be signed, or if not, scrapping the law. If it's in between, it is sent back to the Council to remake it until it's okay to be passed.

The House of the Public, consisting of 20 delegates, 1 for each city in Munijoch, gives feedback on the law, based on their city's needs and wants. If the public finds it unfair, the Senate will review and, based on a vote, either make it permanent, send it back to the Council for compromise, or veto it completely.

All is not uneven, there are certain checks and balances applied here. The Council can veto a veto, but the Senate can choose to ignore it. The House of the Public can proclaim the law unaffected to the cities, but the Senate can force it. Finally, the H.o.t.P can elect a new Councilman so if they want to, but the Council has to be chosen based on candidates by the then-President's choosing. This way, there is no unbalance of powers between the people, the government, and the Executives.

Munijoch as a whole is identified as a constitutional democracy, where the citizens can vote for the people to take office of any of the three levels of government. Citizens are always encouraged to make their voices known toward certain issues in the country and regarding the decisions made by the government on foreign policy or how it handles war. In addition, they are allowed to publicly voice their concerns regarding social welfare provided by the country.

Laws[edit]

Most laws that are passed are based on the general population's needs and wants. Needs have more priority over wants, thus, for example, if a bill asking the government to raise the minimum wage of Ice Cream Shop owners is sent at the same time as one for a new flavor for Ice Cream, the first bill would be reviewed first with more seriousness, then the playfulness of the second.

The greater bulk of the laws are mainly for standards in housing, corporations, parks, energy standards, and water quality. Cities have their own rules on where, how, and when to build housing, offices, or energy plants. The government also can control the standards on medication, automobiles (how they run, what side on the road to drive on, etc), and uses on electricity. They set the standard as well on how electricity is generated due to pollution concerns.

Some practices that are illegal in Munijoch are:

Nuclear power (after the December 2000 Hudson City Disaster)
Communism (we all know WHY at this point)
Denial of Penguin Rights
Animal Abuse (The Grizzly Bear is included, as well)

..and much more.

Political Parties[edit]

As of 2013, 99% of Munijoch residents side with the Malkov Reformists. The other 1% is undecided, or doesn't believe in Politics.

Some other Political parties include:

Fishsoar Party: These are a group of people who believe business is the way to run a country. The corporations would gain more power in the government, and be influential in politics as well.

Shrub Party: These people believe in an even greener future.

Bombshell Party: These people want Munijoch more involved in wars and skirmishes, as well as an increased military budget.

Citizens[edit]

Most citizens are happy with the current state of Munijoch. They enjoy a mix of freedoms not seen by most other nations. About 80% of it's citizens are upper middle class. 10% are of Upper Class (mainly due to their prominent government history). The final 10% are of Lower class, living only in apartments. The government has gone to great lengths to prevent unfair treatment of the lower class. In the process, they set a standard in treatment of poor citizens, which no one can ever be treated like trash for their monetary situation. For this reason, the government has been seen as a socialism-supporting clause, however, the governmental body denies such accusations upon it.

The majority of citizens work in Information Technology, then Retail, and tourism of the country. 35% of the population are federal workers, or have some tie to the government as a whole. This does not mean Munijoch has a prominent social welfare, no no no. It means that the government either hired them, or they have some kind of government help (Citizen's Help, Disabled's Help, etc...).

Almost every citizen is very healthy, with a core exercise routine and a healthy diet. 5% are either skinny (anorexic) or obese. The government offers solutions to help the both classes of health. One of such solutions is a fat vaporization treatment, in which lasers are shot to vaporize the fat in the key areas of the patient's body, commonly the belly.

Genealogy[edit]

Native: 30% of the population.
Off-Islander (mainland Antarctica): 60% of the population.
Other (other islands, mix, etc): 10% of the population.

Culture[edit]

Housing[edit]

Due to Munijoch's strong scientific standpoint, houses are commonly made into efficient, space saving buildings, usually along the mountain regions and coastline. If there is space, mansions are commonly built into mountains and partially underground as well. Housing exists underwater via glass domes on the island's side. These can double as submarine look-out posts for military use, if need be.

Munijoch's City of Progress' Inner Sanctum Housing.

In a city like Rio De Vatica, with more penguins than they can use, It's common for underground communities to pop up, with parks, shopping centers, and transportation across them. With these, it allow's Munijoch to host a plethora of housing at double the space of it's actual size.

Art[edit]

Munijoch art is commonly black and white ink on parchment paper, normally with symbols significant to Munijoch's spiritual history. Pictures of mountains, rivers, valleys, or trees are common. Color pictures/photos of the surrounding countryside have also started to emerge in recent years, preferred by those who like the modern yet rustic life in the country.

Creating statues are also considered art, hailing back to the ancient stonecrafters of the natives. Most of Munijoch's stone sculptures are exquisite, some of which can go for thousands or millions of Grams. Stones include granite, marble, sandstone, or igneous rock if it's a dark color.

Cuisine[edit]

Most of Munijoch indulges on very natural food. Everything grown in Munijoch is organic and natural for their healthy and active lifestyle. Diets include meats, vegetables such as tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and peas, and fruits like mango, pear, apple, and oranges. Grapes are considered to be a standard snack time meal and is commonly eaten in Munijoch. Cream soda is usually reserved for special events and party, mostly in favor of Munijoch's mineral water.

Fast food restaurants are scarce in Munijoch.

Sports[edit]

Munijoch is a huge fan of soccer, having their own team and stadium in Centrallica, the Munijoch Bears. Children can be commonly seen playing on the rooftop gardens or in alleyways between buildings. Munijoch has several simulation businesses that allow you to connect with penguins around the world in a game of virtual soccer.

Munijoch also hosts a baseball and tennis team in Mt. Vespa City, Rio de Vatica, and Port de Felipenas. In addition, they are beginning to embrace the culture of e-sports, such as Super Smash Mates, which is becoming a huge sensation in Munijoch after its release due to the inclusion of several figures from Munijoch, like the President and War Chief.

Music[edit]

Known throughout Antarctica as the Music Capital, mostly due to the President's record of music (the largest personal one on record), the citizens listen mainly to Pop, Rock, Jazz, Electronic, and Classical music from multiple artists spanning multiple generations. Most citizens do not mind what they listen to, so long as they are able to enjoy it and have a good vibe from it. Multitudes of children are quickly learning instruments to make their parents proud and perform in front of large, enthusiastic audiences.

Most homemade music that is native and to it's roots involve guitars, pianos, saxophones, violins, cellos, basses, as well as sitars, played to a slow, meaningful tune, with drums in the background slowly being drummed on.

Notable Landmarks and Structures[edit]

Government Buildings[edit]

City of Progress Central Spire: A massive umbrella skyscraper stretching over the city, containing office rooms for the government, 10 restaurants, a hotel, 2 apartment companies, and the Presidential press room. On the top, known as the Upper Spire, lies the government district, boasting a small highway between towers, in which there are 13 skyscrapers, one for each section, and a small park in the middle.

Zescore Islands: Deemed the Military Isles by citizens, tourists can easily visit the islands for boating, hiking, rock climbing, and even a tour under a lava cavern to the central magma chamber beneath Munijoch. While some areas are off limits, the government lets a lot of the islands be explored.

National Parks[edit]

Mt. Graxxar Regional Park: Even though the actual mountain is occupied by WhiteBloods, the area around the mountain is open to hiking and exploration by tourists. They are asked to be aware of the terrorists around the base, however, and take caution.

Rio de Vatica Native Ruins: Scattered around the city and outside the city, tourists are open to seeing the way the natives once lived. Some of the original buildings are even in use currently as souvenir shops or other things.

Munijoch Coastal Beaches Dozens of beaches lie around the country, areas where citizens and tourists alike can chill in the waters around the coast. During the winter, they freeze up to the point that they can be skated on within a 10 ft length from the coast.

Airports[edit]

City of Progress Natl. Airport (MPX): Munijoch's main airport, where they handle all flights in and out of the city on a day to day basis. Designed with modern touches in mind and sharp edges and lines, it features a numerous amount of terminals, a hotel, 25 restaurants, and is capable of take offs every 4 minutes.

Centrallica Natl. Airport (CAX): Munijoch's secondary airport, but rarely traversed due to it's central proximity yet equal distance from most of the large attractions in the country. Also modern, it holds half as many terminals, 12 restaurants, and take offs occur every 8 minutes.

Hudison City used to be a thriving utopia, and the original capital of Munijoch. Situated on the north-eastern coast of Munijoch, near the Port de Felipenas, it's now an off limit site being decontaminated due to a radioactive spill which left the city dangerous to inhabit. With current decontamination procedures, it's estimated to habitable by about the year 2020. Many residents of the city, former and, while illegal, current, either moved to other cities and towns, or are living in the empty areas of the city, looking for adventure.

Munijoch Vanguard Force Headquarters[edit]

Situated on the south-eastern coast of Munijoch, the headquarters serves as the central operations of the military, and includes the office of Isaac Juggernaut, and the War Room. While under heavy guarding and surveillance by the military, as well as mandatory traffic stops along the highway leading in and out of the nearby road to it, the government makes it known that it is, in fact, off limits.

Internal Gate of Entry[edit]

Located between two of the Zescorian islands, the Gate of Entry is the immigration and trade gate for ships entering the waters of the City of Progress. Inside the gate is a collection of servicemen watching closely at anyone trying to slip by their gaze, or any illegal items entering without being checked. While only accessible from a select area of tunnels, the government still keeps it posted that violators will be imprisoned for trespassing government property.

Mt. Graxxar Caverns or Entrances[edit]

Even though the Mountain, once a volcano, is inactive now, the internal structure of the mountain is filled not with lava, but with the terrorist group, the WhiteBloods, having established a headquarters there within the mountains. In addition, several caverns hold traps, pits, or steam vents leading directly from the magma chamber below Munijoch. While the government cannot arrest citizens for trespassing, they highly advise visiting them due to this, and to keep their guard up for any suspicious activity.

Education[edit]

There are numerous universities in Munijoch, catering to all sorts of different careers, such as Engineering, Art, Mathematics, Law, etc. While they are mostly in Rio de Vatica and the City of Progress, several have begun to pop up around the entire country, such as Port de Felipenas and other cities. Each university has a capacity of around 30,000 students and last 4 years for a basic Bachelor's degree.

Transportation[edit]

Munijoch boasts multiple types of transports around the island. The most common, however, is train, with 45% of the population using it to get around the city/country. They have a highway system as well, going through, around, and onto the Zescore islands.

Car/Bus[edit]

Cars make up 20% of the transportation in Munijoch, which are usually sedans, large coupes, or smart, electric vehicles. Trucks are kept at a separate level than the city streets in order to prevent congestion. Roundabouts within the city are common, featuring statues or monuments within them, or small parks. The roads are made of solar panels to power the neighborhood where the roads are in. Paved roads only make up the highways in the country side, and are made of recycled plastics.

Buses run on the city streets and are purely electric. Special electromagnetic charging plates are at each stop, designed to charge the bus's batteries when stopped. If someone is taking a bus cross-country, they are forced to ride a hydrogen fuel cell bus, in which the price is hiked due to the price of the cells along the stop, and are limited to roughly 3 destinations throughout the country.

Trains are the most common form of transportation, taking up 45% of the total methods in Munijoch. They commonly run underground in the cities, such as the City of Progress and Rio de Vatica, on the 2nd underground level. Elevators around the cities provide access, and usually host hotels to stay if need be, as well shopping centers and food courts. The stations are decorated based on the region of Munijoch, and usually offer different cuisines depending on where it is.

90% of trains on Munijoch are electric bullet trains, running on geothermal energy. The other 10% are on diesel, mainly for long term transport of cargo across the country.

Airplane[edit]

A common MJ Jet for national personal travel.

10% of travelers in Munijoch take private planes to small air strips across the country. Using mainly small transport planes or private jets, they prefer to do so due to the amount of time it takes to go on land. Munijoch has two major airports, however: Munijoch International Airport and the Rio de Vatica Airport. These airports also serve multinational locations around both the region and Antarctica. They are commonly a hybrid style of plane, running on an electric motor until the jet fuel engine must turn on.

Boat[edit]

Boats make up 10% of all transportation in Munijoch, surprisingly. Most boats run on electricity and charge up at the numerous docks around Munijoch, such as the City of Progress Civilian Harbor or the Rio de Vatica Docks. They prefer to take the boat due to the scenic views of the coast of Munijoch you simply cannot get while on land. In addition, they provide long term diesel boats for cargo transport across the region and Antarctica.

Bicycle[edit]

Bikes make up the final 15% of Munijoch, often spotted around large cities or community areas. 45% of these bikes are electric, running on batteries to drive a small motor to turn the wheel, usually with a 4 hour run time with a manual pedal option to both operate the bike and generate power back into the battery. The rest are mainly manual bikes, mostly sleek and made of carbon fiber, sold at specialty stores. Recently, a sport has been growing known as "Fix its" when you take a bike and do tricks with it, mainly with the bike stripped of most technological advantages, such as brakes.

Military[edit]

_{Main Article: Munijoch Vanguard Force}

Munijoch has a strong military as a whole, with over 6 million penguins in it, ready to serve their country, just in the Foreign Vanguard Force alone. The entirety of it is composed of Homeland, Foreign, Royal, and Commercial Vanguard Forces. Each of these sectors have a full fledged Army, Navy, and Air Squadron to defend the cause they were called to fight in. The President, also, has a personal array of military-grade weapons at his disposal, in case he must be left alone, or sent on an embassy mission. For this reason, the classification of upgrades for the Vanguard sections are listed in importance, President first, followed by Foreign, Homeland, Royal, and Commercial Vanguard Forces.

Homeland[edit]

The Homeland Vanguard Force is composed of 25% Land Tanks, 25% Naval Ships, and 50% Aircraft. They commonly use stealth technology, bomb detection, anti-heat seeking missiles, and an array of explosives to combat the at-home enemy. They are commonly 20% weaker than the foreign weapons, due to the fact that Munijoch manufactures the strongest army-grade vehicle sector on it's land. They are made to combat terrorism, public chaos, or uprisings among the government or public. Munijoch rarely uses it's homeland military.

They recently got possession of Mercu-Solid tanks, and are now using these in experimental weapon forces. They patrol the waters around Munijoch and Zescore to prevent rogue attackers.

Zescore is considered part of the Homeland Vanguard Force with it's warships, such as the Z-S391 or the Z-RAM, which patrol Zescore around it's coast.

Foreign[edit]

The Foreign Vanguard Force is the more elite squadron in the military. They have stronger stealth cloaks, proton-missiles, pulse engine technologies, strong radio telecommunication, nuclear proton-missiles, oil attacks, tactical dominance, and an organized existence overall. They are composed of 25% Land Tanks, 10% Naval Ships, and 65% Aircraft. They use, also, an Airship known among the military as MJ-680. It is a large, pulse engine-powered beast of an Air Tank, with 10 cannons on each deck, being 4 decks, that shoot out a massive energy laser beam at the target.

The Navy utilizes a massive warship, the Armada 1, to act as it's naval launch center. Containing 5 smaller warships, average size, 45 aircraft, 30 cannons firing pulse beams, 450 penguins on board, anti-heat-seeking, and bombproof, it's the strongest ship in it's arsenal, and another is being made, due to funding as well.

The MJ-REXXAR, seen here.

Munijoch has been developing a super tank as well, called the MJ-REXXAR, it's a massive land vehicle, containing 45 smaller tanks for 2 men each, 250 penguin crew, an armada of missiles and general weapons at their disposal, and bomb proofing. Each tank inside contains 3 cannons, a rugged grip on the rock, 2 nuclear missiles, cup holders, and is bombproof. 5 special tanks utilize the Mercu-solid technology to split into 3 smaller, tactical tanks.

Recently with the finishing of Munijoch's mercu-solid, and The Axle Powers funding, they were able to increase manpower by 5000%, to a 6 million strong armada of men and women wanting to serve, and vehicles that could split into two without difficulty. This means that the military, with increased funding and power, is rapidly growing, and the imports are contributing by the second, thanks to Shops Island's vehicle imports, and Munijoch metal and wood exports.

The MJ-RAH, seen here. It's currently in testing stages.

The scientists have also completed Beta stage development with hyper-sonic spacecraft, thanks to Ed Island's knowledge on it, and has presented a prototype of a spacecraft. Called the MJ-RAH, it is the first MJ built spacecraft, and contains 2 tons worth weaponry as pulse-lasers, ballistic missiles powered by nuclear, and cup holders.

Royal[edit]

The Royal Vanguard Force mainly composes of a 70-Person army of men. Each man is armed with a Pulse Gun, a small semi-auto, a whacker, and a Call to Arms button, which when pressed, deploys active military to the area of where they are at. They never leave the President's side while he is travelling, and will protect the President at all costs, as well as the family.

Commercial[edit]

The Commercial Vanguard Force is a government provided, but commercially operated defense for trade flights to and from other nations of which Munijoch has negative relations with them. It's 100% Aircraft controlled, and the Foreign Vanguard Force Naval Ships act as their launch area, carrying one Commercial Vanguard aircraft. The aircraft is armed only with a Pulse Gun, on it's underside to shoot enemy aircraft down.

Presidential[edit]

Now we have the big guns.

The Presidential Vanguard Force, if you can call it that, is the President's personal armada of military goodies. It is composed of 1 Land Vehicle, 1 Aircraft, and 1 Naval Vehicle. Those 3 are some of the most advanced vehicles in the area, with just the aircraft having an experimental technology called Mercu-Solid, a mercury-iron compound that is being used to split vehicles apart, yet still operate. He possesses a sports car, called the MJ-280X, which is one of the fastest known, with a quad-turbo V-16 and Gatling guns hidden in the headlights. He also has one of the faster jets, the MJ-911, which is a semi-autonomous aircraft with 5 different types of weapons on board.

Development[edit]

PULSE is the main manufacturer of weapons for Munijoch. As such, they are a very secretive organization with a tendency to keep on the down-low to the public. Only the top government officials will get a look at the weapon or vehicle as its being prepared to be tested.

Known only among high selected officials as Project Maokai, this developmental team of military officers, scientists, and other important officers provide Munijoch with much of the innovation needed to keep the military up to date with current times, as well as develop for the future. Known as the birthplace of the common-day usage of the Infinite Engine, the scientists that work there are kept lock and key shut about anything that goes on in there.

Off-Island Colonies and Islands[edit]

_{Main Article: Munijoch's Colonies}

Munijoch, at the moment, only has three colonies and Islands. As well as this, they have stationed, so far, two ship islands for active deployment across the Antarctic sea. This ring of power controlled by Munijoch is commonly addressed by other nations as the 6-Point Empire. Others will be listed when they are acquired, such as below:

Colonies/Islands[edit]

Zescore - A military colony and island of Munijoch, off it's coast.
Salia Island - A rogue colony captured following Isaac Juggernaut's rise to power.
Valron Island - A colony invaded and seceded to Munijoch.

Ship Islands[edit]

Munijoch Armada Ship Class One - Munijoch's first ship island, stationed 100 miles south of Zescore. It's large and is Munijoch's look out point for attackers.
Munijoch Armada Ship Class Two - Munijoch's second ship island, stationed near Shops Island's as a defense post.

Territories[edit]
