MSA

MSA stands for the Makoban Space Agency. It used to be part of Makoba but has now since gained independence. It is now the leading force of space exploration and aeronautical engineering.

## **Stats**

Total land mass: 167000km

GDP: 1.4 trillion

## Geography

MSA's main island was built using reclaimed land and is quite flat with no mountains and hills but it has some artificial rivers and lakes to make it seem more interesting. Basstown island is MSA's largest landmass under it's control. MSA occupies half of it along with RCCM occupying the other half.MSA's side of the island is quite mountainous with two mountain ranges in the eastern side and west. the western side in particular is where the kaisa volcanic zone is located. in the mid south of MSA's basstown territory lies the Solaris Capital District or Solaris C.D. Solaris is MSA's largest city with a population of 17 million people and is the main trading, financial and economic centre of MSA

## History

MSA was founded in July 6 2367 by u/Omoz2021 (early 2022 in our timeline) as the Makoban space agency. It specialized in launch vehicles and aircraft and is deeply interconnected with the CoC and AOP electrical networks. MSA’s first LV was the Zeus program, which, out of the 5 launches, only 2 made it to orbit. MSA’s first facilities were MSA's artificial island off the coast of Newer York and the MSA R&D facility. in February 26th 2373, MSA built the main island which is a large artificial island 11km off the coast of Actoria. The first capital was Arcturus, a large city with a population of 9million. To construct the main island, MSA had to make a platform on the northern side of the continent to dig up ocean bedrock. In November 14th 2381, MSA discovered a whole archipelago (don’t ask how) and took over half of Basstown isle, RCCM taking the other half. The Northern bit of Solhail, the Octavia and Tarsos islands and most famously 1cm^2 of land fort isle

## Government and military

### Government

MSA's is a demographic nation with peaceful intent.it is run by one person with several advisors. the leader is able to make most or if all important decisions however the advisors can also make smaller decisions as well. when the leader dies, the person in the next rank will take over . MSA has several policies that include

-free healthcare

-cheap public transport

-low income tax

-increased efficiency

MSA's government is known for being friendly to other nations and being non-hostile, preferring to stay out of conflict as much as possible.

### Spaceflight and Launch Vehicles

MSA’s first LV was the Zeus family of vehicles. Out of the 5 launches, only 3 made it to orbit. The second LV MSA made was the Kronos family of Launch vehicles which are the most reliable launch platform MSA provides. The Cassowary is MSA’s largest LV at 235 meters tall and can lift 572 metric tonnes into orbit. MSA also has SSTO’s(single stage to orbit) which are also highly capable and reliable. The Phoenix 1 was MSA’s first SSTO and flew a miraculous 189 flights. It was powered by a hybrid sabre engine. MSA’s second generation SSTO is called the M-22 polar and was one of the most unique SSTO ever made as it was a GBLA SSTO which stands for ground-based launch assisted single stage to orbit. It flew 84 flight and was crucial for construction of MSA’s EOL station. MSA’s current generation SSTO the M-67 celestial nighthawk. It has flown a total of 34 flights and is most advanced and capable SSTO yet. Little is known about the M-67 but a reveal is coming soon.

### Electricity and Fusion

MSA is the leader in fusion technology and supplies most of Actoria, MSA, The republic of Makoba, The Empire of Makoba and parts of Olympia. The goal is for cheap, powerful, reliable electricity and it has succeeded in its goal. The MFR-1 is MSA’s first commercial fusion reactor and the MFR-2 is being used in it’s “motherships.”

### Aircraft

MSA develops many aircraft from fighters, transporters and passenger aircraft Notable planes include the

-K-23 “Tharsis” MSA’s first jet fighter

-B-23 “Blooper” MSA’s main cargo aircraft (nuclear powered)

-M-3 “Karnage” MSA’s second gen fighter (failure)

-M-45 “Northern Lights “ MSA’s Current gen fighter

-K-12 “Solar Storm” MSA’s first jet for foreign use

-FV-84 “Lifter” MSA’s VTOL aircraft

-A-1 “Liner” MSA’s first airliner

### Military

MSA's military is mostly made of air, land, space and sea vehicles. It doesn't have any ground troops but instead used all sorts if aircraft like jets, helicopters, tankers, bombers and VTOLs. it does have a large navy with 10 supercarriers, 547 cruisers , 458 destroyers, 763 frigates and 267 submarines and many other smaller boats and cargo ships. MSA's ground forces are mainly made up of remote tanks and large movable command posts. however there are only 135 remote tanks and 20 command posts so MSA's ground force is quite small.
