-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BASIC INFORMATION: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Official Name in Standard: Furjen National Name: Furjen Title of the Head of State: Governor General Title of the Head of Government: Prime Minister -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- GEOGRAPHY/POPULATION ----------------------------------------------------------------- Quadrant/Sector/System: Hirt System Suns/Planets/Planetoids/Moons: 3 Customs/Immigration Welcome Stations Population: 2,030,636,000 (SD:30101) Capital City: Furjenka City Race(s) of Native Sentients: 99.9% Gnalish, .01% Assorted Transients Land/Water Ratio(s) of Planets: 62/38 Largest Cities: Fujenka City has a pop of 20,717,992, Kaung (10,396,425), the second largest city, is a leading port and industrial center on the southwestern Continent; Taung is an industrial and cultural center in the western continent; and Tinn is an important commercial and cultural center in the North. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ECONOMIC SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------------- The government of Furjen has pursued an aggressive program of industrialization in the last two decades manufacturing has been the leading sector of the new economy. Economic reforms have been implemented through a series of multiyear plans initially started 25 years ago, designed to increase production and develop export industries. In recent years the central government has launched a six-year, $300-billion* public works construction program. In the late 2390's the annual gross national product reached an estimated $91.7 billion* ($4325 per capita) and the economy was growing at a rate of 7% a year. The new budget called for $79.9 billion* in expenditure. TECHNICAL LEVEL: As a generalization Furjen is on par with most Federation worlds in their immediate post-warp discovery stage. With the discovery and increasingly common use of the warp drive as well as the increased interstellar contacts it has made possible, Furjen's technical level has increased markedly as even a casual glance at the planet's economic indicators show. For the first time in its history its industry sector will surpass its agricultural sector as the major base of economy. *Figures are in local currency. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- GOVERNMENT/HISTORY ----------------------------------------------------------------- Member of Federation? Yes (SD: 80404) Furjenka City is the seat of the Federal Government. The planet is based on a version of a Constitutional Democracy. Political Divisions: Furjen is divided into 6 regions, each of which is subdivided into 10 counties and 5 municipalities. There is one governmental municipality in the center of each of the continents and a small island in the Axajn Ocean is the seat of the planetary government. Major Cities/Settlements: Fujenka City has a pop of 20,717,992, Kaung (10,396,425), the second largest city, is a leading port and industrial center on the southwestern Continent; Taung is an industrial and cultural center in the western continent; and Tinn is an important commercial and cultural center in the North. While Furjen is the only inhabited planet in its solar system it resides in a sector of space which is home to several inhabited planets of the same technological rating. In terms of biology, each of these planet's indigenous races appear to be from the same genetic makeup. It has generally been concluded that this region has been seeded by an unknown race at least 200,000 years ago. Furjen's recent history has been overcast by a series of wars between its closest neighbor Manark V. The last war continued for 22 year and ended with a stalemate as neither side had the resources to continue. After a series of failed negotiations a peace treaty was eventually signed. This treaty has remained in effect for the last 43 years. During this time both world's prospered markedly, in a large part due first to trade with each other which spread to their other neighbors and then to some of the closer Federation worlds. However, the expanded trade has led to a cooling of relations between the two. While there are no longer any overt hostilities between the two nations there is an intense rivalry especially in the economic arena. Industrial and technological spies are frequently found by each and several incidents have lead to third party arbitration. Twelve years ago Manark V successfully petitioned the Federation for membership. At the time Furjen would most likely have also been granted membership but did not petition. When Furjen did petition Manark V was the only Council member to oppose acceptance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- RACE/SOCIETY/CULTURE ----------------------------------------------------------------- The family remains the important social unit, and filial piety is the custom. A number of celebrations that are widely enjoyed today include the Furjen boat Festival, the Autumn Festival and the Feast of Fertility. Generally the population of Furjen is an open liberal society welcoming to all and having secrets from none. Outsiders are accepted almost on sight and the planet has enjoyed increased tourism since its contact with the Federation. Since the war with Manark V a small but powerful hard-line minority has pointed out that these ways must change as they will eventually lead to the subjugation of their world. Adherents of this ideology point to the wars and rivalries of the past century. Unsurprisingly many of the leaders of this movement are also leaders of business and economy and their critics ask whether they are concerned for Furjen or for their bottom line. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Creator(s)/Adaptor(s) Email Address Andy Catterick zane@iaw.on.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------- Please check one: __ Canonical - All rights reserved by Paramount. __ Semi-Canonical - All rights reserved by Paramount. __ Non-Canonical - All rights reserved by companies specified: ______________________________________________________________ X__ Original - All rights reserved by creator named above. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
