The Petrolis Confederacy is a large country that is located to the south and west. It's climate is mostly semi-tropical, with thick forests and some jungles in the most southern reaches. Petrolis very rarely ever sees snow nor does the temperature ever go lower than 40F. The people are generally white with the exception of immigrants from Ibis that come to work the oil fields. The Petrolis Confederacy was once a bunch of small nation states constantly warring with one another until they united to fight off a Synod invasion more than 500 hundred years ago.<br/><br/>Resources<br/><br/>Petrolis has a vast supply of oil which is their primary export other than military equipment. They also have a large amount of aluminum which they frequently use in manufactured products, along with plastics. The country's climate also allows the easy growth of cotton and fruit.<br/><br/>Politics<br/><br/>Petrolis is ruled by an Emperor who comes from the royal family. The Emperor has absolute power over the Confederacy and can only be overruled temporarily by the military high command. All upcoming emperors and empresses must first serve in the military at the rank of Private(the lowest rank in the military), the reason behind the system is "those that deserve to rule must first learn what it is to be ruled."<br/><br/>Military<br/><br/>The Petrolis Confederacy has a long military tradition, it's navy is the best in the world and has the second largest standing army. The navy is composed primarily of battleships and cruisers which sail constantly around the world ready to project military power anywhere it's needed. The army relies on a conscript system in which all men can be conscripted, women can serve in any position in the Petrolis military but are exempt from conscription. Military training begins in middle school and ends in highschool, upon being conscripted you are simpily sent to your technical school since your basic military training was completed in grade school. The army also employs vast numbers of tanks and heavy artillery guns, a newer unit called the Valkyrie was first used in the Petrolis/Atmora War, it is a female soldier in an armored suit that has tank treads as part of the legs, the suit provides protection from bullets and shrapnel and allows the user to carry heavy weapons more easily, such as machine guns and light cannons, it acts as sort of the inbetween of infantry and tanks.<br/><br/>Uniform:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl=en&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=526&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=DOKTnn3v6gIJkM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://david.brubakers.us/Vietnam/index.html&amp;imgurl=http://david.brubakers.us/Vietnam/pictures/Jjacket1.jpg&amp;w=832&amp;h=724&amp;ei=oqQ5ULvPNIeo8ASCroGQCg&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=287&amp;vpy=203&amp;dur=1730&amp;hovh=209&amp;hovw=241&amp;tx=149&amp;ty=160&amp;sig=105767594143652085192&amp;page=1&amp;tbnh=155&amp;tbnw=169&amp;start=0&amp;ndsp=13&amp;ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0,i:98">http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl= ... 7,s:0,i:98</a>m<br/><br/>Helmet:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl=en&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=526&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=DOKTnn3v6gIJkM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://david.brubakers.us/Vietnam/index.html&amp;imgurl=http://david.brubakers.us/Vietnam/pictures/Jjacket1.jpg&amp;w=832&amp;h=724&amp;ei=oqQ5ULvPNIeo8ASCroGQCg&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=287&amp;vpy=203&amp;dur=1730&amp;hovh=209&amp;hovw=241&amp;tx=149&amp;ty=160&amp;sig=105767594143652085192&amp;page=1&amp;tbnh=155&amp;tbnw=169&amp;start=0&amp;ndsp=13&amp;ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0,i:98">http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl= ... 7,s:0,i:98</a>m<br/><br/>R6 rifle:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=526&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=HBxcz5CNyVoYBM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://world.guns.ru/assault/usa/armalite-ar-10-e.html&amp;imgurl=http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/assault/as16/ar10.jpg&amp;w=533&amp;h=136&amp;ei=Eqc5UJ7nGYWu8QStvoCICA&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=710&amp;vpy=155&amp;dur=5875&amp;hovh=108&amp;hovw=426&amp;tx=202&amp;ty=67&amp;sig=105767594143652085192&amp;page=5&amp;tbnh=52&amp;tbnw=203&amp;start=55&amp;ndsp=15&amp;ved=1t:429,r:13,s:55,i:295">http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&amp;biw= ... s:55,i:295</a>m<br/><br/>P10 pistol:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=526&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=6VxTpjaxzK5B5M:&amp;imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lahti_L-35-1.jpg&amp;imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Lahti_L-35-1.jpg&amp;w=1600&amp;h=1061&amp;ei=tKc5UK-tB5Oi8QSaw4DQDA&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=341&amp;vpy=161&amp;dur=3426&amp;hovh=183&amp;hovw=276&amp;tx=164&amp;ty=77&amp;sig=105767594143652085192&amp;page=1&amp;tbnh=151&amp;tbnw=227&amp;start=0&amp;ndsp=11&amp;ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:76">http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&amp;biw= ... 1,s:0,i:76</a>m<br/><br/>T-5 MBT:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=526&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=xIq12fKDf6X9dM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m60.htm&amp;imgurl=http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m60-a3.jpg&amp;w=705&amp;h=518&amp;ei=0qg5ULrIEoio9gSqg4CIAg&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=291&amp;vpy=60&amp;dur=2818&amp;hovh=192&amp;hovw=262&amp;tx=175&amp;ty=103&amp;sig=105767594143652085192&amp;page=1&amp;tbnh=138&amp;tbnw=181&amp;start=0&amp;ndsp=12&amp;ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:90">http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&amp;biw= ... 1,s:0,i:90</a>m<br/><br/>Religion<br/><br/>No religions are persecuted in Petrolis, most people in the Confederacy follow one religion or other, usually a monotheistic religion of some kind.<br/><br/>Economics<br/><br/>The Confederacy has a "Command Economy", an economic system where all businesses are privately owned but follow the whims of the state if they have to say manufacture certain products. The currency is in the form of gold backed paper bank notes which are brown in color and has the likeness of past Emperors on them, they come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100.<br/><br/>Lifestyle/Culture<br/><br/>The average Petrolisian is in the middleclass and lives in a rural community, mostly spent farming, mining, fishing, or working in a factory. The civilian lifestyle is very militant, where activities such as rifle marksmenship are common. Petrolisians are usually narrowminded and sometimes hostile to foreigners, there is still some bitterness from not achieving victory in the Petrolis/Atmora after so many lives were lost in the war.<br/><br/>National insignia:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl=en&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=526&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=R2mc269dfwoK5M:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.24digital.com/portfolio/product/celticironcross.html&amp;imgurl=http://www.24digital.com/portfolio/product/images/celticironcross_artwork.jpg&amp;w=350&amp;h=350&amp;ei=TK45UPijMJKK9gTXhIFw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=232&amp;vpy=168&amp;dur=115&amp;hovh=225&amp;hovw=225&amp;tx=110&amp;ty=120&amp;sig=105767594143652085192&amp;page=1&amp;tbnh=135&amp;tbnw=121&amp;start=0&amp;ndsp=14&amp;ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:93">http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl= ... 1,s:0,i:93</a>m<br/><br/>National flag:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl=en&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=526&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=R2mc269dfwoK5M:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.24digital.com/portfolio/product/celticironcross.html&amp;imgurl=http://www.24digital.com/portfolio/product/images/celticironcross_artwork.jpg&amp;w=350&amp;h=350&amp;ei=TK45UPijMJKK9gTXhIFw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=232&amp;vpy=168&amp;dur=115&amp;hovh=225&amp;hovw=225&amp;tx=110&amp;ty=120&amp;sig=105767594143652085192&amp;page=1&amp;tbnh=135&amp;tbnw=121&amp;start=0&amp;ndsp=14&amp;ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:93">http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&amp;hl= ... 1,s:0,i:93</a>m<br/><br/>National anthem:m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5ZWzhhtlNE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5ZWzhhtlNE</a>m
