Michelsen Prime is the capital city of Michutopia, with a current population of 1.5 billion.
In The Beginning
The first sign of the Grand Federation of Michutopia began as the Liberal Movement in South Africa in mid 2008. It acted as a splinter group trying to gain control of the nation through political meens, whilst running small communities around the country. As the communities grew, the self governing group managed to gain control shortly after spring of 2009, after Incumbent Jacob Zuma was elected president of South Africa. The corrupt rapist quickly lost control of the situation, as the Liberal Movement, led by Michelsen, rallied the nation through massive marches against police that ended in a mass riots. Millions were killed, with the fighting completely destroying most of the infrastructure. After three weeks of endless fighting between citizens and the government, rioters managed to defeat soldiers guarding the presidential home, ending with the exile of the entire government and re-foundation as the Federation of Michutopia, named after the leader of the movement that started the revolution.
Recent History
With the recent advent of world war three, the major powers of the world destroyed themselves, leaving little hope for any aid efforts to save impoverished Africa. The drought and barren landscape has turned into a wasteland, where few have managed to survive by clinging to small pockets of water, however, have little hope due to the lack of food.
The lack of stable government or recources, and influenced by the radiation leaking down from Europe and the Middle East, led many starving desperate Africans to flee south to Michutopia. Taken in by open arms, given jobs, a home, and food welfare, skyrocketed the population. Within years, the citizenship went from millions to billions. It stands today at nearly 4 billion, and grows every day.
There is virtually no crime, 95% of deaths are from old age, while others are accidents. Poverty is non existent, thanks to its many welfare programs. Michutopia has truly become a Utopia.
The Rebuilding of Cape Town
The great city of Capetown was largely destroyed in the fighting, so it was rebuilt as Michelsen Prime, the nations new capital. It took several years, but with the combined efforts of the people and the government, a beautiful city was constructed in the heart of a stunning landscape. With the huge increase of population in the past few years, Michelsen Prime has become one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of over 2 and a half billion. The original borders which covered capetown has reached toward the heavens, while the rest of the city has grown out to cover the entire mountainous peninsula and much of the inland. Many find it hard to conceive it as one single city, as it is in fact an entire state, and treated as such by the state, taking up most of what was once the Western Cape. It has enormous buildings that reach hundreds of stories into the clouds, and due to the huge masses of people, the roads have been tiered, with a huge vehicle road on the top, pedestrian walking on several different floors below it, and a large rail system in the underground that weaves through all the supports of the mega structures, connecting citizens from the Cape all the way to the Kalahari. Pollution is strictly controlled, and all vehicles are mandatory to be electric only. To power this massive city, offshore wind turbines have filled the Atlantic ocean surrounding the cape.
Land Development
Over the rest of the land, the parched Kalahari Desert has been irrigated and is now artificially terraced farmland. The remaining area has been turned into a massive series of megacities, separated only by national parks and rivers.
After the mass immigration, a trickle of remaining immigrants come through the closely watched border, a massive wall designed to keep the irrigated lands separate from the desolate wasteland.
The major territories/districts of Michutopia are as follows:
Southwest Cape, Michelsen Prime - Capital
1,500,000,000+ citizens, political and administrative center of the entire Grand Federation's operations domestic and international. Complete megacity, no structure under 1000 meters over a 700 sq mile area.
Western Coast
700,000,000+ citizens, complete megacity, no structure under 200 meters over a 1500 sq mile area.
Northwest Territory
300,000,000+ citizens, heavy industry, elevated farms, and larger residences over a 3000 sq mile area.
Northeast Territory
600,000,000+ citizens, best schools, research labs, highest wealth per family, trendy area. 2500 sq mile area.
Eastern Cape
900,000,000+ citizens, commercial hub, complete megacity, concentrated structures no less than 800 meters tall along the coast, 400-600 meters inland.
Government
The Grand Federation has been divided into many states. Each state is a huge megacity or several large cities combined into five political enties, five Senators, which is represented in Michelsen Prime at the Grand Federation Hall. In total there are 500 Senators, each hailing from one of five districts in one of a hundred states.. It is a free party system, much like that of the United States, with the major party being the Liberal Party, with minor parties being the Communist Party and the Capitalist Party. Every four years a President is elected, and every two years Senators are elected.
The ruling Liberal Party holds 95% of the Hall, after losing 5% to various minor parties in the 2011 congressional elections. The current President is Michelsen, revolutionary and founder /leader of the Liberal party.
Liberal Party = 95% of Hall
Capitalist Party = 3% of Hall
Communist Party = 2% of Hall
Disposition
The Grand Federation has very pronounced policies, developed with the thought of interdependence a key factor.
Politics : The political system is open to anyone over the age of 13. Congressional meetings are an extention of the people's decisions; as a direct democracy, citizens are able to vote via the many political centers located across the country on any policy. During elections, all citizens are required to vote for their city's Senator. Educational programs on candidates are available at political centers.
-Very large, transparent government, with heavy welfare programs, and very progressive political freedoms.
Economy: Collectivism using a credit system. All companies in Michutopia are run by public unions, set up either through government subsidy or private enterprise. Noone is allowed to own labor, only share it. Executive corporate power lies within all workers, which is demonstrated during union meetings. Highly profitable system of workers making their sectors better for everyone.
Social: A high sense of decency and morality. Free religion, however the government is firmly against religous context in its constitutional statements. Social policy is guided by what the popular majority request.
Military
The people of the Grand Federation put their safety in the trust of unmanned vehicles, controlled at terminals in major armed bases.
Grand Federation Armed Forces (GFAF)
GFAF Central Command[/b]
There are several key parts of the GFAF. At the top, you have the central command, located in Michelsen Prime. It is a massive compound employing nearly 30 million citizens. The command center is a triumph of military research, unmanned drone control, and strategic planning. It is also where the national defense grid is kept in constant flow.
T.D.S. (Territorial Defense System)
Last year Michutopian scientists perfected a geo-magnetic field generator that creates an effective barrier against all mass, and was distributed for vehicles, aircraft, and people. This generator has been redesigned along the entire border of Michutopia, creating an impenetrable, nearly invisible "bubble" around the country. Generators around the border can be shut off momentaraly so that aircraft can pass through, however due to isolationist policies the bubble has been closed shut and only opened for space and military operations.
M.A.B. (Mobile Assault Base)
The M.A.B. is the strongest known vessel created on Earth. It is a giant hovercraft that uses powerful magnetic technology to keep itself floating above the ground. Each ship carries at least 500 unmanned aircraft, 400 unmanned tanks, not to mention an array of giant cannons capable of destroying a small moon. The cannons are outfitted to switch between a myrad of different munitions for any situation.
Ships carry enough crew to maintain all unmanned vehicles, weapons, systems, as well as control them in the event of an attack.
All unmanned vehicles, including the M.A.B.'s themselves, have the T.D.S. technology protecting them.
M.A.B's now come in a variety of forms, ranging from space-outfitted colony ships, to war platforms capable of major peacekeeping missions.
