Coalition of People's Republics

The Coalition of People's Republics is a Zeth nation. It has a very large land area, and two billion citizens. The chairman of the council has not surrendered his emergency powers and has become the effective dictator of the nation.

Culture
The CPR is based on progress and the advancement of the nation, focussing on industry. The ideal citizen is said to be the one who works hardest and is most loyal to the state.

Education
Only those children selected by local authorities are allowed to enter education. Starting at age eight, they will remain in school until the age of seventeen. The curriculum is rigorous and inflexible- they will be taught Aisish, engineering, history, maths, and physics. History is mainly the achievements of the CPR and political theory.

They can then be recruited by research groups or given a job by the state.

Entertainment
State-owned radio stations and public game rooms are the main sources of entertainment in the CPR.

Religion
Personal worship is discouraged by the state, but a Cult of Personality has developed around the chairman. Festivals and parades waving banners showing his face are common.

Language
All citizens who have been through education will have learnt Aisish. However, the national language is Juine, which has a phonetic alphabet and 31 distinct sounds.

Economy
Though small-scale free enterprise is possible, any large corporation will be nationalised and controlled by the state. The population is taxed heavily.

The economy is based on nuclear power.

Military
The military of the CPR is not divided into armed forces, but personnel receive specialist training for the duties they are given. All young men must spend at least five years in the military. Training is hard and lengthy, lasting three years, and designed to make the soldiers as tough and loyal as possible.

The CPRM has nine hundred million personnel, of which two hundred million are active servicemen.

250 ships are maintained by the CPR, including 6 aircraft carriers and 90 submarines. These submarines hold much of the nation's nuclear deterrent. It also has 2,390 aircraft and 450 ICBMs, as well as 15 armed spacecraft, 3 space stations and 56 satellites.
