Jalop is a medium sized, well developed, and old nation at 332 days old with citizens primarily of mixed ethnicity who follow mixed religions. Its technology is first rate and its citizens marvel at the astonishing advancements within their nation. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Jalop work diligently to produce Silver and Spices as tradable resources for their nation. It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs. It will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. Plans are on the way within Jalop to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Jalop allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Jalop believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Jalop will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

Formation

The nation of Jalop was formed on 5 October 2007, which also come to be known as 'The Greatest Day in The World Ever'. What was previously a community of wayward and frazzled intellectuals, artists, activists and travellers burst into life with the almost simultaneous discovery of silver ore ripe for mining and the huge overnight surge in demand of the area's primary spice, Jalopunit. Wary of the region's Bedouin governers and their lack of business nous and clear thinking, the community took matters into their own hands and declared the land they occupied an independent state in order to fully control and maximise the potential of the area.

Government

The Jalopian public quickly demanded a capitalist government in order to aid the fledgling nation in its quick growth and ability to expose the resources of silver and spices on the world market. Local layabout and all round good egg Pete Mardle was appointed President of Jalop and urged to turn the country into an economic success and a great place to live and work. The Jalopian government declared it will continue to seek an excellent quality of life for all Jalopians and, while the nation would retain a capitalist mind frame, the individuality and diversity af all Jalopians was of paramount importance.

On 1 November 2007, after increasing pressure from Jalopian citizens, President Mardle announced that he was initiating a fully democratic process to government and that all Jalopians would now have a say in the running of their country. Further public desire for governmental change saw the political system evolve to a Federal government at the end of November and then to a Republic in the middle of December. In recent times the Jalopian governement has continued to invest capital in business whilst maintaining radical and revolutionary governing ideals.

Military

While fully committed to peace and diplomacy, Jalop still has a strong representative military that both keeps the peace and acts as a policing force at home but is fully trained should the need for international actions need to be taken. Jalop is a member of Mostly Harmless Alliance and both the alliance's Legion VII military wing and Rapid Response Squadron, and is duty bound and willing to send military aid should it be requested by a fellow member nation.

The military, ready for action

The Jalopian Air Force (JAF) was founded during the conflict against IYIiKe with war aid received from TFD member Circlewood and consisted of 20 AH-64 Apache helicopters. It was upgraded during the war with Wolfpack and then again during the GATO-1V War and now consists of 57 Tupolev Tu-160 fighter planes and 3 F-22 Raptor bombers.

The Jalopian military is supported in it's operations by the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). Created in the weeks leading up to the Wolfpack War, the first missions were to gather intelligence on Wolfpack nations. The NIA saw heavily increased action during the GATO-1V war and was used primarliy to sabotage the enemy's defense preparations and destroy technology to great success.

Jalop also has the highest technology in missile defense systems and satellite guidance systems at it's disposal in order to aid any war effort and since completing the Manhatten Project in July 2008 is armed with nuclear missiles.

Wars

Protecting CMEA

In October 2007 Jalop went to war for the first time as part of a TFD rogue squadron (also including Herbertland and Republique Genevoise) ordered to attack IYIiKe in response to an unprovoked attack on Jalalabad, a nation of the CMEA allied with TFD through the Common Defense Treaty (CDT). Jalop claimed 8.976 miles of land and $242.29 during the conflict, while destrying 15.254 levels of IYIiKe's infrastructure. Jalop lost 126 troops compared to IYIiKe's 112. Jalop were awarded the TFD Rogue Defense Award after the conflict. The nation of IYIiKe was completely destroyed and no longer exists.

Wolfpack War

At the MHA declaration of the Wolfpack War Jalop attacked the nation of Sienageco alongside fellow MHA member Kingsguardia. This war was the first time that Jalop used cruise missiles, fighter planes and spies in battle. Casualties were high as Jalop lost 12497 troops compared to Sienageco's 8368, but only lost 1180 tanks and 1 fighter plane against 1559 tanks and 5 fighter planes lost by the opposition. Jalopian attacks also managed to destroy 300 infrastructure and 32 tech, while claiming 10 tech and 61.75 miles of land. Jalop also looted $93,716.94 but lost $102,824.22 in abandoned equipment. Sienageco surrendered and became a MHA POW after 5 days of fighting.

Following the surrender of Sienageco Jalop declared war on Jesus Freak Land and faught alongside Oregon Free State of MHA. Earlier MHA attacks had sent the nation into anarchy and depleted ground troops so Jalop continued attacking with cruise missiles and escorted bombing runs. The opposition leader Christianfreak asked for peace due to their intention not to retaliate but was met with the now famous line "if you aren't surrendering, you're fighting". Folowing 6 days of continuous bombing and shelling, in which Jalop destroyed 400 infrastructure, 34 tech and $54,917.94 worth of money reserves, a ceasefire was called following Wolfpack's surrender and the war was officially over 3 days later.

MHA Rogue

In April 2008 Jalop declared war on the rogue MHA nation of Popov, after it had attacked fellow MHA member nation Manzanita and declared its leader Espressoville 'a dick'. Attacking commenced during the second wave of the operation alongside the Galileo Corporation and the Empire Of Esper, and since the opposition army had been wiped out during the first wave concentrated on shelling and bombing the rogue state. Jalopian attacks on Popov destroyed 6.01 levels of tech and 740.75 levels of infrastructure, and $1,289,405.65 in money reserves were also destroyed. Jalop was awarded the Nation of Manzanita Medal of Gallantry for its role in destroying the offending nation.

GATO-1V War

As a result of MHA's entry into the GATO-1V War Jalop declared war on the CSN nation of Corsair Federation alongside MHA flightmates Ishtar Terra and republic. Jalop destroyed 1022.59 levels of infrastructure, 33 levels of tech and $89,004.34 of money reserves and lost only 10 levels of tech and 50 levels of infrastructure. 55205 Jalopian soldiers were lost along with 3615 tanks, compared to 44180 soldiers, 4122 tanks and 5 spies lost by the enemy. Jalopian forces also managed to steal 28.596 levels of tech, $3,098,123.19 and 251.876 miles of land. There were two seperate ceasefires during the two-week conflict to discuss surrender terms but none were ever agreed and the nation of Corsair Federation was destroyed.

At the same time Jalop and Ishtar Terra attacked the CSN nation of Pimpville in a war that was to prove to be very costly and with high casualties for Jalop. 110266 soldiers and 19292 tanks were lost compared to 90527 soldiers and 10560 tanks by Pimpville and Jalop also had to abandon bombing runs due to heavy losses and engaged the enemy airforce in dogfights instead, eventually losing 72 fighters and 66 bombers and shooting down 57 enemy fighters. Jalop destroyed 35 levels of tech but lost 12 in retaliation, and destroyed 308 levels of Pimpville's infrastructure but had 66.50 destroyed in return. Jalopian forces stole an addtional 10 tech as well as $462,317.82 and 64.878 miles of land but lost $8,904,206.52 in abandoned equipment.

Following the Pimpville debacle Jalop enjoyed better results engaging the USN nation of TheShiz. The enemy's ground attacks were remarkably unsuccessful as Jalop suffered losses of just 6 levels of tech and 15 levels of infrastructure while destroying 15 levels of tech and 355 levels of infrastructure of The Shiz. Jalop lost $2,768,411.57 worth of abandoned equipment but managed to claim 25 levels of tech, 92.695 miles of land and $564,877.05. Jalop lost 40553 soldiers and 9728 tanks during the conflict compared to TheShiz's losses of 51612 soldiers and 3786 tanks. A cesefire was called after 6 days of fighting and USN was soon granted alliance-wide peace terms.

Continuum-NoV War

After MHA entered the Continuum-NoV War Jalop declared war on the FCO nation of Enricoville. Land battles were kept to minor initial skirmishes and casualties were few; Jalop lost 6 soldiers and 3 tanks compared to Enricoville's 4 soldiers but still managed to steal 16.428 tech and $228,462.70 from the FCO nation. Jalop also claimed 49.215 miles of land while killing 10 Enricoville spies. Air strikes saw 39.84 levels of tech and 617.539 levels of infrastructure destroyed in Enricoville, who continued to refuse to accept the surrender terms on offer despite the continued anarchy and riots seeing $101,259.30 of money reserves destroyed.

Following the expiration of the war against Enricoville, Jalop declared war on The Under Dark of NoV. The nation had already suffered greatly during the war and Jalop concentrated on air and missile attacks to further damage the target. 958.63 levels of infrastructure and 110.76 levels of tech were destryed in the attacks, while the riots caused by the prescence of Jalopian troops caused $131,652.57 of money reserves to be destroyed and 30 spies to be killed. The war ended when the nation of _The Under Dark_ ceased to exist due to the effects of the war.

=Alliances =

TFD Oct '07 - Feb '08

The Foreign Division

On 6 October 2007 Jalop's application to join The Foreign Division was accepted. Jalop became the 59th member and was given membership number 051007-185. Upon joining TFD, Jalop was able to quickly develop good relations with the nation of Farmers Land and their leader FarmGirl put together a $25k aid package to help the initial development of the country, as well as pledging future aid and advice.

In November 2007 Pete Mardle was appointed TFD diplomat to the HeroesOfGaming alliance, responsible for opening and maintaining an embassy and improving relations with the fellow CDT members. After the break up of HoG, Pete Mardle was deployed to the alliance of Element, founded by some of HoG's top dogs.

In December 2007 Pete Mardle was appointed a non-comissioned Officer of the Army, responsible for the organisation of the Charlie and Delta Division military wings and throughout Jalop's time in TFD was heavily involved in recruiting nations to the alliance. Jalop was a member of the alliance's Rogue Squadron, which lead to Jalop's war with IYIiKe and the receipt of the TFD Rogue Defense Award.

MHA Feb '08 - Present

Mostly Harmless Alliance

Jalop applied for Mostly Harmless Alliance membership on 7 February 2008 and acceptance was confirmed three days later. Pete Mardle was quickly appointed temporary Secretary of the Press Office and the position was made permanent in April once Jalop had met the required two-month membership for leaders to take government positions. In July that year Pete Mardle was promoted to Deputy Minister of Bad Poetry (Comms) while still maintaining responsibility for the Press Office.

Trade

The Jalopian government has been quick seek out export and import trade routes and has committed to only trading with nations that are held in high esteem by the people of Jalop, the Blue team nations. One of the first reported trade deals set up was with the nation of Lunar Land and brought wheat and cattle into the country. The government also announced that was initially looking to import supplies of furs, oil, aluminium, lumber, water and rubber.

At the start of November 2007 the government committed to a change in policy to pursue more agricultural resources to help the Jalopian citizens grow and develop, rather than the industrial resources previously sought out. Jalop currently has a trade guild agreement with glasgow rangers, Forchyland, KRRunkinrawr, CAPSLOCKIA and Boristopia to import Fish, Aluminium, Water, Wheat, Lumber, Cattle, Pigs, Marble, Sugar and Iron.

Sport

CRC trophy

The main sports played in Jalop are rugby union, football and cricket. The national rugby stadium and home of Jalopian Rugby Association (JRA) is Dr Kenneth Noisewater Park in Dahab, opened in December 2007. Soon after James Westfall Stadium was built as the national stadium for the Jalopian football team and home of the Jalopian Football Association (JFA). The national cricket ground, The Octagon, is the newest of the three and is in the second city of Nebk.

Cybernations Rugby Championship

In December 2007 Jalop won the first Cybernations Rugby Championship international rugby union tournament. The title was clinced with a 31-17 victory over Transvaal in the final game, leaving Jalop level on points with Dun Carrig but with a better point difference (by just two points). Despite persistant rumours to the contrary the competition has yet to be revived and Jalop's hold on the title has yet to be challenged.

Liga Mundo

In January 2008 Jalop's top football club side, Dahab, were one of 12 founding members of Liga Mundo, an international club tournament. After leading the league early on, Dahab suffered a mid-season slump but recovered to finish a credible third. Midfielder Andrew Sandford was the league's top point-scorer.

In the second season Dahab again finished third in the league but had excellent runs in both of the new cup competitions, winning El Legado Cup and losing in the final of the Gloria de Verano Cup. Midfielders Andrew Sandford and Julien Skinner were voted to the Team-Of-The Season at the end of the campaign.
