===Navy===<br />
The Navy has two principle types of "standing formations", the Battlegroup (BG) and Mine Warfare Squadron (MWS). The Battlegroup can be divided into a Carrier Element (which retains the BG designation) and an Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) centered around the LHD, LPD, and LSD. Escorts would be divided between the two elements as circumstances dictate. The Mine Warfare Squadron would generally be deployed to support major mineclearing operations. For smaller operations, detachments of MCMs and/or the MCC can be created as circumstances dictate. Ships not formally assigned to a BG or MWS can be utilized as supplements to either standing formation or in independent formations and patrols.<br />

Equipped and basically trained to the same standard of the Regular Army, however as they are the "one weekend a month, two weeks a year" type of units, their overall readiness and capability are not quite up to that of the Regular Army. By law, the National Guard cannot be deployed outside of the Republic itself, without special authority (very rarely granted).<br />

==A Brief History==<br />
Tian Xia has been in existence as a continuous entity for approximately the last 1000 years. It’s gone through 7 dynasties, with the usual route of change being a noble revolting against the current emperor (Huang Di), and succeeding, demonstrating that the previous dynasty had lost the “Mandate of Heaven”. One of the dynasties was a short lived one that resulted from a successful invasion by a barbarian tribe. Another was a result of usurpation by the Grand Vizier.<br />
<br />
In recent history, Tian Xia went into an isolationist phase as a result of a series of wars with its neighbors in the early 1600s. In the early 1700s, Tian Xia was involved in another series of wars with its neighbors and became imperialist, eventually conquering most of them. It then expanded overseas, conquering several overseas possessions. In 1815, a rogue duke attacked Cascadia, in a bid to gain more power. This failed spectacularly, with most of his force ending up dead on the field of battle. Apparently the duke believed it was better to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission. Such a strategy only works when you succeed. As a result of this failure, the nobility was stripped of their monopoly on command of military units.<br />
<br />
This was the rise of the citizen class, which would eventually end up receiving its own house in the legislature. Citizenship requires service to the state. Most common way now is through public works projects (replanting forests, building trails, etc). Second most common is through military service. <br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
Tian Xia is ruled by the Hui dynasty. The current Huang Di (Emperor) took the reign name Beowulf on his ascension to the throne. He is assisted by the legislature known as the National Assembly. Judicially, he is helped by a large court system. The Huang Di remains an autocrat, able to override any decision made by the other two branches. The only restrictions are those that he places upon himself. He is the titular head of the armed forces, but has no military rank. The Huang Di appoints governors for the various provinces, which are given a significant amount of authority.<br />
<br />
The National Assembly was split in 1815 into two houses. They are a self-organized group, which has no real power, but can give recommendations to the Emperor. The House of Lords consists entirely of nobility. It was formerly the only component of the National Assembly. The House of Citizens consists of members of the citizenry, chosen by the citizenry. Each house has its own methods of selecting it’s members. Generally speaking the Lords contains everyone who has not been denied the right to sit in it. The House of Citizens is elected from the population, according to districts. Lords are barred from membership. The Assembly as a whole is led by the Premier, who is chosen by the Huang Di, and traditionally comes from the House of Citizens.<br />
<br />
The judiciary is a hierarchical system of four levels. The top is the Huang Di. Below him sits the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court consists of seven members. The next lower step is the Appeals Courts, followed up the various District Courts, which are run by the local Chief Magistrate.<br />
<br />
Income for the government comes from two sources. The first is the crown lands, which are properties owned by the Emperor, and provides income to support the Imperial household. The rest of the income is from taxes, of which the principle component is business income taxes. There are no personal income taxes. The actual amount of tax burden is low, but a significant portion is dedicated to defense spending.<br />
<br />
The imperial household is contained with in the imperial complex in the Forbidden City (which, despite the name, isn't really forbidden). It consists of the entirely female house staff, and the largely male Emperor's Own Battalion, which has the royal transports and the bodyguards. <br />
<br />
The royal transports are a pair of VC-25s, along with VH-53Ks, plus various limos. It is rumored that he uses the members of the house staff as concubines.<br />

=Infrastructure=<br />
A pervasive fiber optic network provides communications to the entirety of the Tian Xia state. high speed wireless network allows mobile connectivity at higher rates than possible with space based system, while easily allowing the avoidance of over subscription, and making it simple to upgrade the network. These services are provided through heavily regulated companies. The fiber optic network is a monopoly, but wireless has multiple competing companies. Transport is generally through the extensive rail network. There are actually two rail networks, which are separated at most points. <br />
<br />
The freight network is built to different standards than the passenger network, due to the requirement for significantly higher speeds on the passenger network, but the freight network must handle much higher loads. Additionally, there is a significant road network, but it's generally for short distance transport of freight, as well as passenger use. <br />

==A Brief History==<br />
Tian Xia has been in existence as a continuous entity for approximately the last 1000 years. It’s gone through 7 dynasties, with the usual route of change being a noble revolting against the current emperor (Huang Di), and succeeding, demonstrating that the previous dynasty had lost the “Mandate of Heaven”. One of the dynasties was a short lived one that resulted from a successful invasion by a barbarian tribe. Another was a result of usurpation by the Grand Vizier.<br />
<br />
In recent history, Tian Xia went into an isolationist phase as a result of a series of wars with its neighbors in the early 1600s. In the early 1700s, Tian Xia was involved in another series of wars with its neighbors and became imperialist, eventually conquering most of them. It then expanded overseas, conquering several overseas possessions. In 1815, a rogue duke attacked Cascadia, in a bid to gain more power. This failed spectacularly, with most of his force ending up dead on the field of battle. Apparently the duke believed it was better to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission. Such a strategy only works when you succeed. As a result of this failure, the nobility was stripped of their monopoly on command of military units.<br />
<br />
This was the rise of the citizen class, which would eventually end up receiving its own house in the legislature. Citizenship requires service to the state. Most common way now is through public works projects (replanting forests, building trails, etc). Second most common is through military service. <br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
Tian Xia is ruled by the Hui dynasty. The current Huang Di (Emperor) took the reign name Beowulf on his ascension to the throne. He is assisted by the legislature known as the National Assembly. Judicially, he is helped by a large court system. The Huang Di remains an autocrat, able to override any decision made by the other two branches. The only restrictions are those that he places upon himself. He is the titular head of the armed forces, but has no military rank. The Huang Di appoints governors for the various provinces, which are given a significant amount of authority.<br />
<br />
The National Assembly was split in 1815 into two houses. They are a self-organized group, which has no real power, but can give recommendations to the Emperor. The House of Lords consists entirely of nobility. It was formerly the only component of the National Assembly. The House of Citizens consists of members of the citizenry, chosen by the citizenry. Each house has its own methods of selecting it’s members. Generally speaking the Lords contains everyone who has not been denied the right to sit in it. The House of Citizens is elected from the population, according to districts. Lords are barred from membership. The Assembly as a whole is led by the Premier, who is chosen by the Huang Di, and traditionally comes from the House of Citizens.<br />
<br />
The judiciary is a hierarchical system of four levels. The top is the Huang Di. Below him sits the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court consists of seven members. The next lower step is the Appeals Courts, followed up the various District Courts, which are run by the local Chief Magistrate.<br />
<br />
Income for the government comes from two sources. The first is the crown lands, which are properties owned by the Emperor, and provides income to support the Imperial household. The rest of the income is from taxes, of which the principle component is business income taxes. There are no personal income taxes. The actual amount of tax burden is low, but a significant portion is dedicated to defense spending.<br />
<br />
The imperial household is contained with in the imperial complex in the Forbidden City (which, despite the name, isn't really forbidden). It consists of the entirely female house staff, and the largely male Emperor's Own Battalion, which has the royal transports and the bodyguards. <br />
<br />
The royal transports are a pair of VC-25s, along with VH-53Ks, plus various limos. It is rumored that he uses the members of the house staff as concubines.<br />
<br />

<br />
=Infrastructure=<br />
A pervasive fiber optic network provides communications to the entirety of the Tian Xia state. high speed wireless network allows mobile connectivity at higher rates than possible with space based system, while easily allowing the avoidance of over subscription, and making it simple to upgrade the network. These services are provided through heavily regulated companies. The fiber optic network is a monopoly, but wireless has multiple competing companies. Transport is generally through the extensive rail network. There are actually two rail networks, which are separated at most points. <br />
<br />
The freight network is built to different standards than the passenger network, due to the requirement for significantly higher speeds on the passenger network, but the freight network must handle much higher loads. Additionally, there is a significant road network, but it's generally for short distance transport of freight, as well as passenger use. <br />
<br />
A significant portion of the electrical power is from nuclear reactors, with much of the remaining coming from renewable sources such as wind and hydroelectric. The remainder is generally from quick reacting gas turbines.<br />

=Notes, History and Traditions=<br />
The Mess is Stardestroyer.net's private military usergroup. Requirements for entry include being in good standing with the board and having served in the Armed forces (no matter the country or if service is voluntary or conscripted).<br />
<br />
The History of the Mess insofar as its exact date of inception is lost in time, but it originally came about as a result of a series of Private Messages between [[Rob Wilson]] and [[Coyote]], when discussing how many current and former military members there were at SDN. Coyote commented to Rob something about "almost having enough people to start our own Platoon with soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines all included". Rob Wilson liked the idea and went to [[Mike Wong]] with the proposal for a private usergroup and shortly after that the Mess was born with Rob as primary Mod and Coyote as Deputy.<br />
<br />
However, with Rob and Coyote both being activated for service at various times,more Mods were needed and so [[RogueIce]] and [[Mr. Bean]] were added as well. Mike Wong is included with an honorary title of "PSAO" although he rarely reads or posts in the forum, being respectful of the group's privacy.<br />
<br />
While originally little more than a private club for servicemembers of SDN, the Mess has grown considerably in "mission". Early attempts to create a Mess-centric fanfic series didn't get very far, although the characters and bios thought up are still considered potentially active. Mess members kept a watch on ignorant comments about the military or soldiers in general in the board population, confronting people making foolish comments about military missions or capabilities, and also helping to put science-fiction military activities in contexts or comment on their realism. However, other, more real-life matters became topics of discussion as well.<br />
<br />
As real-world politics dragged on, the Mess became an area where servicemembers could talk about experiences openly without having to put up with military-fanboy wankery or political screeds for or against various countries' policies. As wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dragged on, it also became a valuable tool for helping troops who have been/are being rotated to combat and other deployment duties that involve long periods away from friends or other sympathetic supporters. In the Mess topics such as family stress, re-adjusting to civilian life, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder have been discussed in constructive and helpful ways among people who understand, care, and in no few cases empathise. <br />
<br />
On the lighter side, The Mess is also known for perpetrating epic and ultimately hilarious "April Fool's" day pranks, which often result in a lot of mixed feelings. While many have praised the Mess's ability to carry out uniquely grandiose pranks, others have derided them as childish and infantile. Pranks for April Fools Day will frequently involve many (if not all) of the Mess members acting in concert. Being from many different countries (and therefore maintaining a presence all 24 hours) the Mess work together to produce scripts and analyze responses from among the general population and plot courses of action. The plotting and planning phases are often as grandiose in scope as the pranks themselves, and involve detailed and meticulous planning. <br />
<br />
Over the course of time, the major pranks have coincided with odd-numbered years because, as Coyote put it after a rancorous argument in the Senate following the 2007 AFD prank, "You people seem to need a lot of clues".<br />
<br />
Recently, the Mess has been coming to grips with such issues as how the military society and the civilian society frequently has trouble seeing eye-to-eye on such things as priorities, duty and commitment, and whether or not service as an obligation to the state is a valid concept. <br />
<br />
=Famous Pranks=<br />
==Rob's A Cook! 2005==<br />
Rob Wilson, Co-founder of the Mess, was "revealed" to be nothing more than a mere Army Cook-- the joke was given some lead-up in the days preceding April Fool's Day, and when the "great revelation" of his low-rung status in the British Army was revealed, the shock was near complete and total, with only a few suspecting. Only on April 1st was the prank revealed for what it was. <br />
People seriously fooled included [[Sheppard]], who in an actually well-meaning attempt to try to contain what he thought was "slander", got involved in a serious flamefest over the issue.<br />
<br />
==The Great Mess Mess of 2007==<br />
''Operation Brokeback Warwolf'' was the operating title for the 2007 Prank. The lead-up to this prank was almost a month long and involved a series of articles published in mainstream news about the controversial "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy regarding gays in the US military. A Mess member was "outed" as gay to his commander by a another vengeful (and fictional) Mess member for reasons left unspecified. A carefully staged "Mess civil war" was had, with occasional "eruptions" and "airing of dirty laundry" among the general population. It led to Mess members being "banned" temporarily just days before April Fools and had many in the general board population gossiping about the situation. The prank was carried out in toto: even planned IM chats were had away from the board to reinforce the situation. Furthermore, the [[chat|| SDnet chat]] was involved, and some members were pranked in real life.<br />
<br />
===Reaction to the Prank===<br />
When the prank was finally revealed for what it was, many applauded the cleverness, timing, and discipline that had been required to pull it off. <br />
<br />
Others, however, were furious that such a sensitive topic had been used as a foil for a mere prank, and that the prank itself had been too "real"; e.g. the Mess, instead of doing the lead up to the prank a day or so before April Fool's Day as had been traditional, had begun the prank a month before April Fools Day, and had not informed any of the [[Admins]] or [[Moderators]] who were not part of the Mess about the prank itself.<br />
<br />
Arguments and recriminations were had that made the "fallout" as thoroughly "entertaining" (or at least "engaging") as the event itself. For a while it looked like there actually would be titles, bannings, or other punitive actions taken against an unapologetic Mess, but the sudden announcement of the [[Stofsk verdict]] completely derailed the discussion and within a few days it was left to the past. <br />
<br />
=Nicknames=<br />
Due to the fallout of the April 01 2007 Mess Prank, a Senate thread was --originally jokingly-- threatened to pass a resolution that would change the name of "the Mess" to any one of a number of derogatory nicknames, the "leading candidate" being "Messholes". The Senate thread was eventually realized and votes were actually had, carried out and tallied, however, it was a defeat (mostly through abstentions) and written off as little more than a childish vendetta in retaliation for the prank.<br />
<br />
However, the nickname "messhole" continues to be used, albeit jocularly.<br />

Many important websites, in positive as in negative, exist, that are important to the debate. Some are involved in the debate itself, others only supplement facts for one side.
