Felonian Insignia

Description

The Roman Empire, The Spanish Empire, The Brithish Empire, The American Empire, there have been times throughout history when a single nation spreads it's influence so widely and with such a strong influence, that the era seems to be utterly controlled by a single nation. In the future world, The Felonian Empire is without a doubt the single most far reaching and influential power in the world. The current Felonian insignia, the triangle and circle, with the Roman numerals, marks a new emblem for the all reaching nation, and is the emblem of what's been officially termed 'The Third Felonian Empire'. Felonia never considered itself an empire until recent times, and has come to recognize two prior incarnations of itself. The first being the period of colonialism, who's insignia was the circle. This was a time when the descendants of domestic felines distinguished themselves from others by making war with their neighbors until they had established the nation of Felonia under their rule. The second being the period when the nation is torn apart by civil war between The upstart Oniwabanshu, it's outraged supporters, and their opponents, the temporary ruling organization known as The Tax Federation, who's insignia was the triangle. The third period, the 'new era' is considered as having officially begun when the Oniwaban's higher echelon were placed into suspended animation in the swamps of "Florida." (present day West Africa) This third era is marked by Felonia's withdrawal from foreign affairs, disbanding of it's military, forming of a national police force, and utter dominance by The Public Management Agency. In the past, Felonia ventured into the seas to help settle disputes between The Aquammals, and The Pirates Den, and was so drawn into that conflict, that 'Scratch Canyon' as it came to be known in Felonia, served as the final showdown between Aquammal & Pirate in modern times, the two 'Divine Beasts' of legend seemingly slaying each other at the battles climax. Felonia also was the first nation to reach into the skies and make contact with Altion. Perhaps most famously of all, was their eventual conquest, and enslavement of the people of Salvatica, until Exeter led a succesful rebellion against them. Present day Felonia is truly one of the strangest nations to have ever existed on Earth. It's a nation that made it through it's ages of attempting to police the world, periods of massive social and economic upheaveals, and most of all, the bloody civil war that left it virtually obliterated. It's last act of international aggression was towards the end days of The Civil War, when it was decided by The Tax Federation, and Felonian Military to avert a potential war with Salvatica, by destroying it's capital with nuclear weapons. War with Salvatica was succesfully avoided as the loss of it's leaders left the country in chaos, but when it came to light that The Tax Federation and The Army were willing to use nuclear weapons against a foreign power while they themselves were already at war with The Oniwaban led to massive reforms that burried both the military and Tax Federation. Today Felonia has no government sponsored military. It has withdrawn from the field of international politics, though it remains open to talks within it's borders with foreign leaders, as literally millions of Felonian citizens live outside of Felonia in either Bull Head or (mostly) Southern Salvatica. The creation of robotics during the civil war has led to many unique laws and conditions in the nation as well. For starters, the national police force is largely robotic. Robots also have been granted civil rights by the senate, which is itself puppetted by The Public Management Agency. Child labor laws were repealed as being unconstitutional due to the grant of civil rights to artificial entities, and denial of employment due to age discrimination made a crime. As a result some children hold top officies in both business and government. Many of the senate are children of PMA employees, which makes controlling the governing body all the easier. In many cities, the organic population is outnumbered by as much as 12,000:1 by robotic citizens. (In Utopia, the 'robotic' city, with 12,000 organic residents, and 48 million artificial entities) A bio mutagenic drug known as 'Meltdown' is the countries primary legal concern, as it's potential effects are staggeringly bizzare. Users are often strengthened to super human, and Sagely strength by using the drug, but after continued use (and sometimes initial use) it leads to bizzare mutations. Individuals can end up finding themselves transforming into a different gender, or even a different species. In some cases, de-evolution occurs. More common is odd proportions, odd numbers of limbs and digits, and sprouting of characteristics of another species. (Such as tentacles, or compound eyes) Though these muatons are always identified with Meltdown usage, the senate has voted the labelling of a Meltdown user as such due to mutation to be a violation of that individuals civil rights, and so Meltdown mutants retain full rights as Felonian citizens. Despite this, they are always doomed to certain genetic death once mutations start to manifest, the user eventually decaying into a puddle of biological goo. If you're a citizen in mainland Felonia, you live and work with robots, and mutants. And your boss maybe five years old. Despite these oddities, Felonia has a poverty rate lower than anything the world has ever seen, and an education rate higher than the world has ever known. To outsiders, Felonia has become akin to a waking nightmare, but to the majority of residents, they wouldn't have it any other way.
