The Church of Amun-Wily Sat Feb 07 Pharaoh Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Church of Amun-Wily is a recognized Religion in WilyAfrica. It works on
the basis that Wily is the savior of the people from the Robot Wars, bringing
harmony, peace, and economic stability to those who submit to his rule and
protection. Headed by Pharaoh Man, it's founder, the Church has a reasonable
following for what would globally be a minority religion. Doctrine is a mock
up of Wily's past since his creation of Android life, mixed with musings on
the philosophy of 'Wilyism'. It makes no claim to be connected to the Cult of
Bass, though it doesn't claim to be opposed to it either.
For the most part, it is just the zealous worship of Pharaoh Man at work. But
note that it does not ask anything harmful, evil, or otherwise of it's
followers. Just that they allow Wily to care for them.

There is a big nice little Korean Barbeque place in Rio, in the Southern Beach
area called HAPPY SZECHUAN. It's Epsilon's favoritest restaurant EVER. It
serves awesome tea. And great meat dishes. It also feature loud classical
music (featuring such bands as BLondie and the Village People) bright neon
lights, and cage dancing ... women. Trust your waiter, don't touch the girls,
and don't eat the Steak Bukakke (It's on special every night). And bring a gay
or festive attitude! YOU ARE EATING AT THE HAPPY SZECHUAN!
It's IO territory, sort of like Ruby's and stuff, it's a cool hang out and

Maverick Empire (1) Fri Feb 20 Dr. Doppler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Coalition for Reploid Freedom (aka The Mavericks)
The CRF consists of approxamately 300,000 reploids, including both soldiers
and non-combatant support staff. This force is bolstered by an estimated
19,000 full-conversion cyborgs and 1,000,000 series I - IV combat drones.
Its publicly known holdings, known collectively as the Empire of the
Coalition (or colloquially as the Maverick Empire), currently spans of most of
western and central Europe:
Germany - This is the heart of the Empire, under the complete and total
control of the Coalition. It is a major end-product manufacturing hub, with a
large number of factories dedicated to supporting the war effort. There is
also some agricultural production, mostly for use within the Empire though
excess is exported.
The mega-city of Berlin has been transformed into a virtual fortress, its
bounderies protected by a defensive wall. Several regiments of Coalition
soldiers are stationed here, as are the central administrative offices.
However, it is not a fully military installation; there is also a significant
non-Maverick reploid/android civilian population living within the city. The
human population is non-existant, as no human is permitted within the city
without special dispensation from Emperor Sigma, Dr. Doppler, or Double.

Maverick Empire (2) Fri Feb 20 Dr. Doppler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Italy - This area (with the exception of Vatican City, Sardinia, and Sicily)
is also under the strict control of the Coalition. It is another major
manufacturing area, mostly focused upon creating the parts needed (steel,
refined copper, plastics, chemicals, textiles, etc.) for the maufacturing
plants elsewhere in the Empire.
A special treaty has been drawn up between the Empire and Vatican City, making
the Vatican an autonomous zone for the Pope and leaders of the Roman Catholic
Church. Those on Official Church Business are granted an escort into and out
of Coalition-held territory, though travel via the Vatican's teleport hub is
greatly preferred.
The island of Sicily has not been captured by the Mavericks. It is most likely
under the shadow influence of the Yakuza.
France - One of the original countries siezed by the Coalition, the area had
been held under an iron fist. Since the continued expansion of the Empire,
Maverick presence had been waning until the Robot Masters decimated their
forces in Spain. Since then, the military has been fortifying its positions
along the Pyrenees mountain range and the Bay of Biscay. Some minor
manufacturing takes place here, but most of the country remains nominally
agricultural. Most of the fields have laid fallow since their capture, though
some crops are being grown for domestic use and export.
The city of Paris was liberated from Maverick influence by a daring attack by
the Maverick Hunters and local resistance groups. Its current situation is not
unlike Berlin during the Cold War - an island of Allied democracy in a sea of
dictatorship. Unbeknownst by the UN and its allies, the city is run by a
puppet government that ultimately answers to the Mavericks.
The island of Corsica, like Sicily and Sardinia, is not under the control of
the Mavericks at this time.

Maverick Empire (3) Fri Feb 20 Dr. Doppler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Belgium, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands - These countries were hit the
hardest by the opening moves of the Empire's expansion. The city of Brussels
was obliterated by the Enigma Cannon, and most of the other cities are in
ruin. This area is nominally in the hands of Repliforce but is still hotly
contested.
Spain and Portugal - This area was under the control of the Coalition, but the
attacks by the Robot Masters have severely weakened their ability to defend
their holdings. The countries are likely to be recaptured if sufficient
military effort is made by Repliforce or the Robot Masters.
East Central Europe (Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia,
Hungary) - These countries were conquered during one of the Coalition
territorial expansions, and remain firmly in its grasp. Many of the Empire's
smelting plants are to be found in this area. It also offers some of the best
crystal production facilities (for lasers, weapons sights, optical lenses and
the like) in the Empire.
The Baltic States (Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, et al) - As history will tell, no
one ever fully controls the Baltics. On paper, these countries were conquered
by Empire. In practice, the countryside is controlled by various resistance
groups, including Skinners.
Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finlnd) - These countries are under nominal
control of the Coalition. Much of the patrolling of the rural areas have been
left in the hands of series III and IV semi-autonomous drones. The only
developments made under Coalition control is expansion of its transportation
manufacturing plants.

Maverick Empire (4) Fri Feb 20 Dr. Doppler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secret Holdings:
South Africa - Though publicly a UN-controlled country, like Paris it is ruled
by a puppet government controlled by the Coalition. The President of the
interm goverment, Pascal, is a Maverick patsy that answers to Maverick
Command. The Coalition has worked diligently to maintain the facade, and thus
have been very careful to hide any activity (including business transactions)
taking place within the country's borders.
Lunar Base - This was a Maverick Holding, now controlled byt the Irregular
Overlords.
Basilisk Station - This is essentially a massive communications array located
at LaGrange Point 2. Usually disguised as an amalgamation of space debris, it
serves as the hub for the Coalition's spy satellite network. Through this
network, the station is also capable of jamming satellite transmissions
anywhere around Earth (as demonstated by Doppler's return and during the
destruction of RFHQ-London). It also contains a mirror of the Maverick
Mainframe, and can function as a command station should Berlin be compromised.
However, in order to keep the station more easily concealable, it is not very
large at all. Maybe 100 reploids could be aboard at one time without straining
the stations' systems.
Alliances: Outside the previously mentioned treaties, none. No legitimate
government likes making treaties with us.
Agreements: There is an unwritten agreement between GNN and the Mavericks. In
exchange for not killing any GNN reporters, the Mavericks receive 1 hour of
free broadcast time per week. Though GNN mortality rates have dropped, the
Mavericks have yet to collect on this broadcast time. See also, the agreement
with the Vatican.
Financial Assets: Since the formation of the Empire, the Mavericks have been
able to produce the weapons and equipment needed to fuel their war effort. The
surplus that is not stockpiled is sold on foreign black markets. The only
products specifically marketed for export are books, musical recordings, and
other artistic works.
The Mavericks share a portion of the profits earned by Tartarus Pay-Per-View
and by the Sheol Pit box office.

The Repliforce (1) Thu Mar 04 General
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Repliforce. The military arm of the United Nations.
The Repliforce itself consists, loosely 11 million combat-capable troops, and
8.5 million on general support troops. The reason for this is that the
Repliforce is supposed to be capable of responding to a variety of situations.
As a whole, the Repliforce also acts as a Military Police in addition to being
the global army that they are. After all, wounded must be tended to after
combat situations, and Repliforce often deals with that first.
It's true holdings aren't so much a set of territories, as they are, they
simply protect (or attempt to) the large bulk of the world. Particular places,
as of late, are hotspots for Repliforce influence:
Egypt and the city of Cairo - Cairo is currently held by Repliforce forces in
the area, it serves as a foothold into Wily-controlled Africa by the
Repliforce. There is an RM Listening Post (Object, been there a while) as well
as a Repliforce Outpost directly in the same area. Whether or not the RF will
be able to completely expunge the influence of Wily is yet to be seen, though
it would appear likely.
The Balkan Peninsula - In the past, circumstances led to the inability of
Repliforce being able to devote any kind of forces to freeing this area,
which is comprised duly of the humans and cyborgs in the area, who are
fighting with the Maverick Empire in resistance. The Repliforce, however, is
currently moving in to assist and support the Balkan Rebels directly, to not
only make amends for past failures, but to help ensure the freedom of the
Balkan people, and make a spearhead into the Empire from that position.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
London - Very much hotly guarded at times, there is a very well-equipped
Outpost, 'Damn Stubborn' in the direct vicintiy of London to facilitate rapid
response times, due to the isolation Great Britain suffers being on the
Maverick Empire doorstep. (Which, I would like to remind people of that it IS
still there, when they walk through London like it's a sandbox..) There are
plans to change the isolation of London in the near future, as well.
Mexico City - Repliforce does /not/ go here under any circumstances at all.
Security issues there are handled by MexCity's own security.
San Angeles, Neo- Tokyo, Disney Universe, Eurasia - Repliforcers occasionally
visit these neutral zones for whatever reason, but do not respond in any sort
of combat capacity unless asked by their respective Ambassadors that attend
UN sessions. Secret Deals?
None that immediately warrant the attention of the board at this time. The
Repliforce, however, is not immune to forging secret deals if the benefits
are good enough to warrant the sort of activity there.

The Repliforce (3) Thu Mar 04 General
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolution Point - The main GHQ for the Repliforce forces, situated in Ayer's
Rock of Austrailia, it features a multitude of different assets, from top of
the line research and medical bays, to tactical command centers. It also
features anti-Orbital defenses, and blinking in is NOT recommended by anyone.
The defenses also included a multitude of landline communications to prevent
total command and control degradation, after the Basilisk was revealed.
Tactical Assets: A number of Repliforce outposts, listening posts, garrisons
scattered across the globe. The larger ones have point to base teleportation
tubes (non-coded) in case of emergency.
Repliforce Air Platform [Fortress III] - The big daddy itself. The armament on
this ship is enormous, from laser batteries to high-velocity rail cannons, to
the occasional ballistic armanent. It is about a mile long, and a third mile
wide (at or about). It's basic, temporary crew consists of at least 300 troops
for the overall maintenence and control of this ship. It is also Storm Owl's
baby, but can be used for general transport of a large amount of troops. It's
Primary Weapon: Alpha Strike, where all the weapons fire at once. Also
submersible.
Ride Armor [Raiden] - Ride Armor from Magma Dragoon's stage, heavy melee unit,
favorite of a certain scientist.
Ride Armor [Eagle] - Aerial Ride Armor, designed for hit and run ranged
tactics.
Variable Ride Armor [Kingfisher] - Multi-vector assault Ride Armor, land and
sea.
Hovertank [Stalwart] - Less potent than the Ride Armors, but overall cheaper
to use. Has the general firepower of a platoon.
Repliforce VTOL [Razor] - Harrier-design jet. Seats 2.
Repliforce Hoverbike [Alpha], [Beta], Attack Hoverbike [Gamma] - Hoverbikes
designed for single-person rapid deployment. Gamma is far more manueverable,
and contains remote radio systems for field command.
Repliforce Space Shuttle [Comet] - Serves the purpose of recovery and/or
assaults in space enviroments. Rare use, but still available.
Repliforce Transports [Thresher], [Mako] - Heavy assault transports for the
deployment of troops up to and including ride armors. Hammerhead design,
replaced the COW transports.
Repliforce Dropship [Falconis] - Rapid-deployment Dropship, fastest type of
dropship in RF use.
Repliforce Submersible Hovercraft [Barracuda] - Submarine capable of operation
on the surface of the water. Standard transport styled after a Barracuda.

Sorry about that. I was really complete once, but the boards were nuked.
This isn't a major deal, but try to get a hold of me to pose the defenses for

specific defenses in play (especially the Dam/Tangier). The Dam object used

WilyWorld (1) Wed Mar 17 Gravity Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WilyWorld is a giant theme park built in the African Savannah. Conceptualized
and run by Gravity Man, it brings in a fairly impressive amount of legitimate
revenue, some of which goes back into the park for improvements and
operational expenses, but much of the money goes toward Wily's expenditures,
whether to buy more jello or to fund the latest wacky invention. The park is a
declared neutral zone, on par with San Angeles and Eurasia. Members of any and
all faction are invited and welcomed into the park with no threat of violence.
The Masters may be a political organization with an agenda, but they're not
/complete/ idiots all the time. WilyWorld is first and foremost a business,
and attacking one's customers is not a good business practice. The park has
thousands of visitors every single day, from African citizens to Japanese
Fieldtrips to American Thrill-seekers. Humans, cyborgs, androids, reploids;
the whole spectrum of patrons is represented in WilyWorld's attendance logs,
with the proper accommodations for all.
The park boasts its fair share of roller coasters and rides, but that's not
all. There's a children's area, a water park, a truly massive arcade, a midway
full of carnival games, restaurants ranging from hot-dog-on-a-stick carts to
five-star restaurants, and more. The gift shops are the nucleus of the famous
Robot Master Plushie trade -- think Beanie Babies, only with Gemini Man. There
is plenty of Wily-related propaganda, of course, but that's to be expected.
The vacationing Repliforcers roll their eyes while they eat their cotton
candy, and others praise Wily's name for bringing them such a wonderful place
to play. It's all relative, and nothing too overbearing.

And now for some OOC stuff. WilyWorld is for people to have fun in. It's
designed for amusing, entertaining social interaction, and I've tried to
create an environment that people can enjoy themselves in that isn't limited
to sitting in Ruby's or Eurasia. Not that there's anything wrong with that,
but some people like a change of pace, and this is one such option. Yes, I
realize it's in Master Territory. But it is just as neutral as San Angeles and
Eurasia. No one will be attacked there, it is perfectly safe to just go and
ride a few coasters with your IC buddies as a way to take a load off. But it's
not being used, and that makes me sad. I'd like to see more people utilizing
the park, relaxing on the grid without having to worry about ambushes. Because
there are no ambushes. None. I know that your characters might have an
objection to 'funding Wily's war campaign' or whatever, but I ask a little
indulgence from you, the players. If you want to have fun, please consider
doing so in WilyWorld. Even if you have to fudge things a little OOCly. After
all, this is a MUSH about robots in underoos saving the world: The goal was
never hyper-realism.
Finally, it bears mentioning that WilyWorld is not a military target. If you
want to blow something up in Africa, there are already squillions of places to
blow up without trying to assault an amusement park. In conclusion: WilyWorld
= Fun, and it would make me very happy to see it accomplish its goal: Slighty
wacky inter-faction RP.

Neo Arcadia Thu Jun 17 Elpizo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neo Arcadia is a city-state formerly known as Mexico City, firmly planted on
top of an old lake in the middle of Mexico. The overall quality of life in the
city itself is somewhere under the world mean for a city its size, but the
quality of life is steadily improving as the city's infrastructure is brough
up to modern standards and the environment in and around the city is cleaned.
The city is not allied with the UN and recognises none of the treaties and
laws that the United Nations has put in place, up to and including the Reploid
Rights Act which gave Reploids legal status as world citizens.
The city itself uses bio-scanners to screen masses teleporting into the city's
transporter grid and simliar devices at checkpoints around the city, as well
as armed guards, to restrict access to the city by anyone with organic parts
below a certain threshold. The public explanation for this, which is rather
reasonable considering the city's history, is to keep Maverick and Robot
Master agents out of the city. The city was, until the current regime took
power, notorious for rioting and civil unrest on par with the Chinese Civil
War... minus the nuclear weapons and simliar heavy military hardware.
The city is defended by the Neo Arcadian Home Guard, also known as the
Pantheon: a combat force divided into 4 teams based around the characteristics
and talents of the original Four Guardians. 95% of the Pantheon is comprised
of humans who have been genetically modified with an unknown process to make
them combat equivalent to the average combat Reploid and carry a variety of
equipment developed by Dr. Ciel and Dr. Cerveau specifically designed to deal
with mechanised threats.
Neo Arcadia is ruled by the City Council, headed by the various members of the
original political parties and mobs that fought for control of the city during
the riots, at least in theory. The Head of the Council, and Neo Arcadian
President, is Elpizo. Elpizo in practice has the support of the council,
mainly because he invariably shows results for his work, fills the city
coffers and has a force of personality that makes lesser, and some not so
lesser, men buckle. Few dare to move against him in the wake of the
assassination attempt at the activation of the weather control system and many
fear that it would take one of his own Guardians to truly injure him.
Elpizo is, to the world, a charismatic and empassioned public speaker, some
circles have gone so far as calling him the Evangelist of Tribe of Man. He
espouses the need for humanity to stand up for itself and not blindly follow
along with the 'norm,' a message that has put him in direct opposition with
the United Nations. Some have tried to pin a connection to various
anti-Reploid uprisings, but nothing has stuck. In public his message has
always remained humanist first, invoking the image of surviving in spite of
impossible odds and reawakening the true power of human passion.

Africa: Territories Held by RF Wed Aug 25 General

Egypt: The first victory of RF forces in Africa, this victory started the
battle for Africa proper. It is now heavily defended, as most of the RM
influence has been weeded out, as well as the Government-in-Exile returning to
Cairo proper.
Lake Hope / Aswan Dam Region: Formerly the christened Lake Wily region, after
an intense series of fighting led also by the then Octavius-mode General at
the time, this region was won, and many of the Border Fortresses were captured
as well as the Dam itself, which suffered minor damage thanks to Grenade
attempting to blow the dam. The Sphere Outpost in the area is also destroyed.
Ivory Coast: With the first demonstration of the Fortress Five's capabilities,
it started with the smiting of the Alpha Sphere Outpost, and the entire area
is now in the control of both Repliforce and African Alliance members.

GNN Assets Wed Sep 08 Chest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Global News Network is a massive company and the biggest
communications agency in the world. The media empire includes its all-news
television station, radio, and newspapers. GNN Central is in San Angeles,
protected by the San Ang super-police. It has other offices in most major
cities that would allow it.
Chest has a deal with Wily and Sigma to ensure the protection of his
reporters. Essentially, it boils down to the bad guys getting an hour a week
of primetime air on the biggest network on the globe to do with as they see
fit + footage of their battles for bragging rights when they win. In return,
they don't kill reporters (so none of this cliched +gnn messages where the
poor journalist dies at the end :-)) or hack into our systems. Alas, GNN does
not have any deals with Neo Arcadia as of yet. Due to Reporto's efforts, some
GNN reporters also get Repliforce escorts just to be safe.
As far as virtual defense goes to avoid pirating signals and whatnot,
Serges was contracted out to provide an ongoing anti-hacking service for GNN
about a year ago. That partnership is still in effect.
We also have a helicopter, but nobody knows how to drive it except for

Loath Assets.. Wed Sep 29 Glyde Loath
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been getting a lot of questions lately as to what exactly the
Loaths control to give them the kind of wealth that they do.
And so, we have it listed here. I don't expect people to use this IC
information OOC'ly.
Glyde:
G.L. Enterprises (G.L. Enterprises is the name of a parent company that
controls literally hundreds of smaller ones across the globe, centered in the
Far East however. Most of this is actually legitimate, although there is some
odd stuff that goes on. If you can think of a kind of industry, G.L. probably
controls or has a controlling interest in at least one example of it. From
Reploid Construction to Research and Development. One of the notable examples
of the latter is a company called GeneTech, through which Glyde has all of his
genetically engineered plants and foliage made. It's still growing as well. In
many cases as well, G.L owns land.)
Glyde's Geneforge Flower Store:
This is an outlet for what Genetech creates, extremely high priced and
something that only the wealthiest can afford.
GlydeFlight Industries:
This is an arms selling company that is quietly known across the globe
and a large portion of Glyde's actual revenue. G.F. weapons are not branded
and are of decent quality and are typically to be found wherever there is
conflict going on. Russia is currently loaded with them. Those who are
supposed to know where his arms actually come from do. :D
All in all, you have a rather large sum of money going through one man's hands
here and a lot of infulence going on.
Lex:
Lex controls a pair of companies, L.X. Enterprises and Loath Enterprises. They
fill a similar niche to G.L's, only are slightly delpleted of their choice
things from the 'family rivalry' that has recently gone on. Lex tends to
operate in the shadier areas that Glyde does -- whilst 90% of what Glyde does
is actually legit, Lex is more amoral and more of a risk taker. Drugs, booze,
other assorted nastiness on top of legitimate businesses fall under the scope
of both of these mega-corporations. Furthermore, Lex has been assigned to look
after New York and America -- and the american mafia falls under his control
-- which means that he will have his fingers in North American business and
crime as well, primarialy.
In a nutshell, when Glyde divided their stuff he took the choice stuff in Asia,
and sent Lex mostly to America and the like -- although he does still have SOME
asian holdings.
That is all.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But hears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Seoul Wed Oct 20 Ebony Fox

Villainous Entities-If the UN does not like you, do not go running around
Seoul, especially UN Plaza, and not expect INTERPOL to take action. I mean,
c'mon. That's like a Maverick Hunter hanging out in MavBerlin for social
roleplay. It's kind of...not gonna happen.

The Yakuza Fri Nov 12 Dalet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a little reminder to all of you, the Yakuza ARE alive and kicking. Yes,
we don't have many people, and yes that means we don't usually demonstrate a
powerful force of death on the MUSH, but we ARE here.
If you're in the mood to assault anyplace that the Yakuza own, make sure you
talk with Rajura Doji or Glyde Loath...and if you're going to be raising heck
in Neo Tokyo remember: It's the Yakuza's Home.
Thanks and monkey! ^_^

Neo Arcadia Wed Nov 24 Elpizo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some things you should note about ALL Aztlan cities:
Each and every male (and female if they wish) over the age of twenty is a
trained member of the army. They have experience in handling small munitions,
and some of them specialize in large weaponry. Not that all the cities are
military strong holds, mind you, but most cities in the country hold some sort
of weapons storage unit. Either in a warehouse or something similar. You
CANNOT discover the location of any of these strongholds, unless you come
through me or one of the Guardians. Not trying to limit RP here, just trying
to make sure that people do not just raid random cities to gain ammo. That is
bad ju-ju. You should talk to me, or any of the Guardians, if you wish to plan
something like that.
Next line of business: All Citizens in Aztlan have some sort of radio available
to him. This is called the Civil Defence Network. If any NA city is attacked,
citizens can send word out of an attack, and forces can be called there within
a few moments. You can learn of this of your own volition, as long as you
properly Roleplay it out, of course.
Last, but not least, Neo Arcadia, like any good country, has outposts stations
in various places. The most active and basically considered HQ, is the NAHQ in
Neo Arcadia. We can come up with outposts throughout the nation and can be
used for RP. Before I forget, since we are a country, we are essentially like
the repliforce when it comes to gumbies. We have a virtually unlimited source
of them. To kill 'em all will take several nuclear bombardments in Mexico.
Suffice to say, you can not do it easily.
Hope this helps!

Africa's Power Situation Sat Nov 27 Shining Firefly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the past week a group of Repliforce scientists and engineers have been
working on rebuilding a power station for the Mirror Desert and repairing the
damaged solar panels. As of tonight, Africa has some electricity some of the
time. Not all of the solar panels are operational (about 55%) so there is not
enough energy to power everything all the time. Lights will dim every now and
again as either a cloud passes by or more energy is required elsewhere. Also,
there currently is not any means of storing the excess electricity during the
day (not to mention there is no excess electricity right now), so that means
once the sun goes down, the power goes off. This next week will involve the
installation of generators which will store the extra electricity as more of
the solar panels are repaired and release the electricity at night. At the
current rate of progress, Africa should have a steady supply of energy 24-7
about this time next week, and the rest of the solar panels should be
completed a few days after that. These dates are of course provided that no
one decides to come along and mess things up, which is an option open for RP.
However, if you do anything please @mail me about it if I am not online so
that I can adjust my IC timeschedule to fit in whatever repairs will have to
be done.
Thanks,
Shining Firefly

Addendum Sat Nov 27 Shining Firefly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would also like to note that there is a group of 50 armed Repliforce soldiers
gaurding this reconstruction project at all times. While gumbies are typically
viewed as weak, I would appreciate it if you gave these ones a little more
credit and don't just ignore them. Thanks again.
The old Repliforce guy.

The Maverick Empire Fri Dec 03 Dr. Doppler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Maverick Empire has suffered a major contraction of territory since the
campaign on multiple fronts by Repliforce and the Hunters during the
spring/summer of 2217.
The Coalition for Reploid Freedom's control extends to about the traditional
border of Germany, with nominal control over what was Austria, the Czech
Republic, and Liechtenstein.
Poland is a no-man's-land, left in ruins by Epsilon's forces and the Repliforce
campaign that followed. France is in a similar condition, as is Italy and the
other countries that once comprised the outer reaches of the Empire.
Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland) is in relatively good condition in spite
of the Mavericks' scorched earth policy - possibly because the rugged
conditions made it that much more difficult to burn.
