Fickolean countries by Oil Production, 2019 Mt

## Oil types

Ficko is a producer of crude oil and has found large crude oil reserves across the planet, such as in Dondas and the U.E.A. These proved very strategically useful to empires and nations within Ficko prior to its unification into one Federated State. In the modern day, whilst Ficko exports crude oil for use in other planets (primarily), it is a far greater producer of vegetable oil as a fuel source and as a means of creating plastics. Nearly 79% of all plastics in Ficko are created with vegetable oil, whilst only 1% is used for vegetable oil. Vegetable oils were carbon neutral, and also produced less pollution, and thus were adopted in and around the 1700s as a global fuel source. As well as this, the consumption of other fuel sources was not sustainable with production. However, the second President of Ficko, Kate Baniff, introduced alternative methods of fuel, now more commonly favoured; hydrogen batteries, and charged calaxium (or quantinium or barallium), a metal which stores electrically charged energy and releases it over a long period. The government also turned increasingly to Evo, Sonic and Tap Tech, each with their own unique way of producing power, for producing Ficko's energy supply, and also to nuclear fission and nuclear fusion plants, as well as super-efficient renewable energy plants. So in the present day, oil is primarily used as a means to make plastic, but also as a fuel and, seldom, a source of energy production, the latter two when exported to other planets. Today, Ficko, as a greatly industrial planet with vast plains of undeveloped land, has colossal 'oil fields' on which vegetable oil is produced to an extent greater than any other planet in Anglon.
Confederation of Bakkagra

The Confederation of Bakkagra is the largest political entity on Dagroth. Encompassing the regions of Jadravia, Tormia, Mita, Raroria, Odulumia, Castrixia, Vexumia, Condatia, Duniumia, Lugrum, Auvanis, Thorsland and Vardur.

Bakkagran Yoshi, its currency, is the most valuable native Dagrothi currency valued at 2.7Y to 1E. It encompasses a population of 7.9 billion, the largest on Dagorth. It also has the largest economy on Dagroth at around 17 trillion Eva. Bakkagra is the name of the continent and was the name of an old Empire that once controlled much of the continent and mainland Dagroth but, during an era known as the Springtime of Dagroth from the years 1910 to 1930, it overthrew the monarchy and formed a new confederation and new constitution granting significant autonomy to the new regions in the year 1915.
Demark PUU Games 2059 (2019,Mt)

The 2019 (Mt) PUU Games were one of the most watched and anticipated events in sports history. Held in Bomb City, in the nation of Bomb, Demark, they were the first major PUU games events following the creation of the United Planets and the New PUU Council, providing a major boost to the popularity of the PUU Games compared to former games.

The games overall cost over [sq]485billion to organise and run, but generated an estimated [sq]500billion in sponsorships and local business boosts.

## List of sports events

* Frisbee at the Demark PUU Games 2059
* Skimming at the Demark PUU Games 2059
* Tennis at the Demark PUU Games 2059
Chadwick Luk Gen.5

Colranian Military

The Chadwick Luk Gen.5 is the first model of the Chadwick Luk tank class. It is a Fickolean heavy armoured ground tank with magnetic ground resistance capabilities. The tank is popular in the Crashian military and has been one of Ficko's main exports to Crash in terms of military equipment. The tank has also been exported to Colran.

The Chadwick Luk Gen.5 is the closest rival to the Biackaarian tank the Chedra Leosk 5. The Chadwick, however, uses a plasma Z-cannon, utilising plasma technology alongside conventional shells. It is capable of firing a B-hundred (B'00) shell also, and has a side area with a mounted machine gun. The entire tank can be operated remotely, or with an Artifical Personnel (AP).

Newer models include the Chadwick Luk 18.
Bomber Spaceship Class

In the context of the Spaceforce, a bomber is a spaceship or vessel capable of travelling out of orbit, which is designed with the purpose of carrying heavy explosives, or dropping explosives, either on other spacecraft, or on planetary objects.

### **Atmospheric Bomber**

Atmospheric bombers tends to be small spaceships with a crew size of 1 to 6 people, which can travel between the atmosphere and outside of it. Typically these vehicles will fly from a larger spaceship, spaceport, space station or other planet to enter the atmosphere of an enemy planet or planetary object, then dropping bombs when in the atmosphere of said planet.

### **Proton-Torpedo Bomber**

A Proton Torpedo bomber is typically crewed by 2-5 people and is designed to drop and release torpedos, usually with the aim of destroying other ships, but also objects on the surface of a planet. One example of a Proton-Torpedo Bomber in the Co-Jan, a Fickolean Proton-Torpedo Bomber with excellent stealth capable of attacking large ships with proton-torpedos.

### **Orbital Bomber**

An Orbital Bomber is a Bomber spaceship that drops bombs from outside the Atmosphere but inside the orbit of a planetary object such as a planet, moon or planetoid.
Annual 55th Fickolean Movie Awards, 2060

*Previous FMAs:* Annual 54th Fickolean Movie Awards, 2059

*Next FMAs:* Annual 56th Fickolean Movie Awards, 2061

The Annual 54th Fickolean Movie Awards, 2060 were held in the Rod Chodney Theatre in Ficko City for the first time, and presented by Jamie Onic, also for the first time. The ceremony celebrated the films of the previous year, 2059 (2019, Mt). The award ceremony was abridged for time constraints. The show was the second most watched FMA broadcast in history, after the 2057 FMAs. Though viewership in Ficko and Crash had decreased, it had increased in Apporross, Gon, Evancya and Odervideo.

The 54th FMAs marked the first time an Inveritian film has won an award.

## Records

At the 55th FMAs, 2060, the most awards were won by *Currents* and *House in Fata Morgana: Youth*, with two FMAs each. The most nominations, at 7, were for *For Bombor* and *The Dandelion.*

 This was Sofia Talmen's first FMA for Lead Actor and her second FMA nomination in her lifetime, having been nominated for Supporting Actor in the 2056 FMAs.

Grandad Jersey's nomination for 'Best Original Soundtrack' marks his 12th nomination for an FMA, one of the highest records for FMA nominations in history.

Armoured Fighting Vehicle (KC)

**Armoured Fighting Vehicles**, commonly known as **AFVs**, are ground vehicles equipped with both armour of a certain qualifying degree and strength, and attack capabilities, such as in-built guns, cannons, turrets, missile launching platform, laser cannons, plasma cannons, and so on.

Famous examples include the Jamberino Machino and Chedra Leosk tanks/AFVs.

## History

### Contemporary AFVs

AFVs in the contemporary period have been lighter, more armoured, and more capable of destructive potential than in previous times. One of the chief differences is that most AFVs today are capable of some level of levitation and hovering, allowing them to quickly traverse difficult terrain. Some AFVs are also capable of artificial intelligent strategy and cross-continental flight.
2060 Bandi Party Candidacy Election

2060 (2020, Mt) Bandi Party Candidacy Election

* George Loon (dropped out)
* Charles "Chucky" Kwatatoowie (dropped out)
* Minnie Dorbins (dropped out)
* Amaria Wexelform (dropped out)
* Bumling (dropped out)

## Results

Romet Bandig won a slim victory over Mackabones and will go on to represent the Bandi party in the 2060 Fickolean Presidential Election.

## Background

### Pre-Debate stage

Prior to the debate stage, numerous candidates briefly entered the race and then dropped out. Individuals who announced their intentions to run but never officially registered as candidates included Stuba Dance, Figgley Preanabo, Piles Daniel (who was not of Fickolean citizenship), and Zedgi Candelit David.

The cosmic being Bumling quickly dropped out of the election within 2 weeks, suggesting he 'did not have the clout'. Amaria Wexelform dropped out after 4 weeks, citing 'an unlikeliness to see the real change this party deserves'. Hers was a platform of change within the party to increase representation and also to introduce mandatory quotas for minorities in all industries. After her opponents called the plan 'not feasible' and 'outlandish', and the Hanrix Update called the plan 'the stuff of fantasy', arguing that the population didn't exist that was required to fulfil quotas, Wexelform dropped out shortly after, endorsing Perry Mackabones.

Minnie Dorbins dropped out a week later, suggesting she did not have the momentum, and endorsing Perry Mackabones, saying 'she supports my vision, and she should lead this party to change, and to present a real challenge to the incumbent government'.

### Post-Debate stage

After the Bandi debate, the voting indicated that Bandig had won (28.7%), with a modest lead over runner-up Perry Mackabones (26.9%), with Johny Two-Meyer (23.1%) and George Loon (20.1%) trailing closely behind, and Charles Kwatatoowie lagging far behind (1.2%). Two-Meyer argued that Kwatatoowie had 'not [been] his best self' during the debate.

This caused Kwatatoowie to drop out shortly after the debate. 3 days later, George Loon dropped out of the race, endorsing Mackabones, "She is the most sensible candidate I have seen thus far. Her level-headed approach to the economy and politics will be a great plus for our party and I hope to cooperate with her constructively in regards to economic matters".
Fitz + Dex

This is the ship page for Fitz and Dex. (FedEx/Ditz)

Moments:

* When Dex sees Fitz unconscious, he says, "I killed Wonderboy", as if he truly regretted hurting him.
* Dex admits to Sophie that he also thinks that Fitz is perfect. " '...And he's just so *perfect*.' Dex sighed."

* After Dex apologizes for hating him, Dex says that Fitz "...looked like he wanted to hug it out..."

* When Fitz says "No one forced him to do what he's doing," Dex is gentle with him and comforts him by quietly saying, "I know you're mad, but...he's still your brother."
Aetiology of Mandrostimic Abilities

The following is a list of 'powers', special abilities associated with mandrostimia in any form, including hypermandrostimia, cosmomandrostimia and super-speciel mandrostimia. All of the abilities arise from some form of cosmic energy in a conscious being, allowing them to exhibit 'powers'.

## List

### **Thermo-Inhibitory Imperium (T-I-Ip)**

Thermo-Inhibitory Imperium, meaning 'mastery over thermal inhibition', is essentially the ability to draw thermal energy from an object or from one's self. It is among the more complicated powers to explain scientifically. Thonks, Bender and Zussman (2021) labelled T-I-Ip as among the most uncommon super-speciel mandrostimic abilities, and explained it as the product of J-Mions which are capable of consuming energy from outside sources.

The neurotransmitter 'johnatonin' , which has been known to form as the result of cosmically affected neurotransmitters, is capable of absorbing photo-thermal energy as well as other sources of cosmic energy by forming a 'containment field'. The neurotransmitter bluscarin is an entirely theoretical biological feature which, through cosmic energy, is able to inhibit other sources of cosmic energy and other forms of energy. This energy is then stored in the neurotransmitter. Whether the person can consciously access this depends on whether the person consciously has control over the deployment of bluscarin.

An individual with 'freeze powers' is likely to have an autonomic response to the presence of heat, just as someone with 'heat resistance' powers would, but also has the power to activate the use of bluscarin neurotransmitters in their inhibitory function.

### **Thermo-Imperium (TI)**

The ability to control one's johnatonin and produce highly flammable, energetic bodily fluids can result in thermo-imperium. Alternatively, the conjunction of bluscarin and 'pro-Johnatonin' reactions may allow an individual to radiate heat whilst protecting their own cells by recapturing and reabsorbing endogenous heat whilst exogenously radiating it.

### **Photothermus Imperium (PT-Ip)**

Photothermus Imperium is the ability to control and radiate both light and heat. It is often referred to as 'heat and light powers', and usually involves the capability to emit radiation, which can consist of visible light and other forms of ionising radiation.

Branualising

A Branualiser is the name given to a substance that 'branualises', stimulating a euphoric and often sedative sensation in the brain through the stimulation, inhibition of reuptake, production or introduction of (usually) happy neurotransmitters, as well as excited or sad neurotransmitters

Branualisers are most often used as painkillers, as they remove most sensations from the brain, depressing the central nervous system in most areas, and causing the stimulation of the brain in a euphoric and sedative effect.

Examples of branualisers include big-prump, lion (though primarily a hallucinogen), and cliffron.

Ex-Dealer (2053, FT)

### Written by

Dijiver Pickson (based on the book of "Dealers of the Underground Dimension" by Rancid Piles)

### Universal Box Office

[sq]457million

**Ex-Dealer** is a Fickolean film directed by American Frond and written by Dijiver Pickson based on the book *Dealers of the Underground Dimension.* Despite the critical and commercial success of the book, the film received mixed but mostly positive reviews and disappointing box office success. The film was set in Demark but all scenes apart from panoramic shots were filmed in Ficko.

## Synopsis

Tony Yacht is a retired former drug dealer who steps back into the drug game in Demark to save his addicted estranged son and his friends. In doing so, he angers kingpin Whiley Davis, and finds himself without escape but to rely on old friends and be so cool on everyone. Sounds like a real movie, doesn't it?
Football in the KC

**Football** or **'Futbol'** is an organised sport in the KC with a number of variants. The most common version is 'Large 11-a-side Football', in which two teams of eleven players on a large pitch. There is also 'circle football', in which four teams of 6 compete with four goal 'walls' perpendicular to each other. Other variations of football include lower gravity and zero gravity football, spherical football, 'lightball', played with a light football.

Football is an extremely popular sport in the KC, with fans across many planets including Anglon, Buff-Buff-Buffin, Sandeem, the Evo Star System, the God Star System, Nansive and parts of Quidermin. The sport is played in both planetary and inter-planetary leagues, including the Twin Planet League, Evo Cup and Sandeem-Football Schwetta, in which teams/clubs from multiple planets play against one another.

## Organised Football

### Finances

Organised football is played by clubs from all across the KC. Profit is generated by clubs or by overseeing bodies, such as the Fickolean Professional Futbol Association, colloquially known as the 'Futsoc' or the 'Fickolean Futsoc', through the sale of tickets, merchandise, sponsorships and broadcasting rights. In Ficko, Yersvesch, Noielle and Banrima, revenue is generated by an overseeing body, usually the 'Futsoc' of a given planet, which takes the profits made from ticket sales, tournament and league sponsorships, and sometimes team sponsorships (Noielle and Banrima), and distribute a portion of the profits as prize money. In other planets, teams individually generate their own revenue through sponsorships, merchandise and ticket sales, as well as through transfer profits made from selling players to other teams. Teams vary in the amount of revenue they are able to bring in, with the largest and most well-known teams accruing larger ticket sales and obtaining more expensive sponsorships.

Ownership of football teams varies depending on planets. Fan-owned teams raise money through fundraising and resource and asset pooling to make investments. Often, football teams will be publicly listed as companies and trade shares which change in value depending on chances of profit. Dividends are occasionally paid if a club wins a large tournament that raises money for them.

### Players

Players are usually paid on a contract spanning a given number of years, signing on to the possession of a certain club. Transfer deals are made with new contracts and salaries, and a negotiating transfer fee awarded to the club.

Epicotra

The term 'Epicotra' describes the reading of an epic poem or several epic poems, usually between one to four hours long, and usually set to music. It is an idea that was originally founded in Gon, but later adopted by Apporross and Ficko.

Special theatres have been constructed for the purpose of showing epicotras, and many epicotras throughout history have had great significance. There are a number of different variations of epicotras, including a-capella epicotras, sung without accompaniment of other musical instruments, orchestral epicotras, with the use of an orchestra, solo epicotras, with solitary actors playing one or sometimes multiple musical instruments, and spoken epicotras, read and not sung, without music.

Famous epicotras include Yangma Pedgi's reading of *'Dyromed Birium',* Bary Quarter's '*The Legends of Manalo'* and *'Work of Aenca',* Lily Crungulön's *'Deftly Blue',* John Mortback's '*Scroutch*' and Fan Morehand's '*Alison on a hill*'.

Epicotras are typically performed by those that wrote them, however sometimes the writer and original performer will hire actors to fill their place and allow for numerous viewing across the KC.
Chip

Chips, also known as 'intelligent chips', in some cases 'future chips', 'electronic chips' and 'currency chips', are an electronic method of payment popular across the KC and invented in Mascos.

The 'Chip' itself is an electromagnetic chunk of metal encrypted with special security details that can be used in the process of paying a vender by transferring money from one 'chip' to another chip, or to a seperate device. Money can also be transferred between chips, and can be permanently locked. Chips can also be cancelled so as to make obselete a given chip. All chips are in some way unique.
Chedra Leosk 5

Tylani Military (Ground Forces)

Chedra Leosk Snow-Treader

Chedra Leosk W18 (Forest Clearer)

The Chedra Leosk 5 is one of the most popular and common Biackaarian tanks, and the most common model of the Chedra Leosk range of tanks.

The tank is among the most sophisticated 6th generation ground vehicles and is used across the KC by Tylan, Snod-Lipton, Juplockitus, and others on top of Biackaar.

The Chedra Leosk 5, Also sometimes known as the Leosk 5 succeeded the Chedra Leosk 4, the first commercially produced Chedra Leosk model.

## Capabilities

The Chedra Leosk 5 is a heavy armoured tank with significant differences to its former model. It is equipped with heavy armour rated 72 on the tank-armour scale, among the highest of any modern tank. It is also capable of employing a brief energy shield, displacing most energy projection attacks.

The tank's most notable feature is the two cannons, a small, short-range powerful cannon capable of launching S-G00 shells and also producing EM shock attacks to stun those nearby, and a long-range gun capable of firing A00 shells.
Dhanar Convention

The Dhanar Convention is a Biackaarian political party representing both black people, who make up 2.2% of the Biackaarian population, and Pepsoid Humanoids, which make up 1.95% of the population. The party has lobbied against use of police violence to suppress protests, corruption within the police force and paramilitary forces in covering up brutality, and lowering welfare payments, specifically hitting minority communities the most.

The party was founded in 1995 (Mt) as a combination of the Black Representation Party, which had fought for greater black representation in the years prior, and the PEC (Pepsoid Empowerment Convention), a political group that had sought to improve Pepsoid's positions in society by helping one another with legal aid, investments, protection, so on.

The Black Representation Party, which had been led by Judy Mark since 1988 (Mt), had fought for greater black representation after there had been no black members of government in the 1988 election. Though there had never previously been black representation, apart from Rodney Point in 1968 (Mt), the lack of representation was considered especially heinous as one district had been polled numerous times by the party and found to be 89% in support of a black candidate, who dropped out just days before the vote.
Badman

**Thomas Cruelshank**, also known by his superhero alias, **Badman**, is a Crashian self-defining 'superhero' registered on the 'Rescue' application. He has no mandrostimic abilities and limited martial arts or fighting capabilities, though he maintains he is committed to "fighting crime". He has been arrested twice, in 2016 (Mt) and 2021, both times on assault charges. In 2016 he was charged with grievous bodily harm (gbh) against his 'nemesis', Dickie Prewndad, also known as "Coolsies" and "Ouchies". He was given a 'Criminal Warning' and forced to pay a [sq]10,000 fine. In 2021 (Mt), he was arrested again for the same charge, along with insighting violence, disorderly behaviour and assaulting a civilian. His 'collateral damage' defence was not successful in his pre-trial, and he pleaded guilty.
Ficko City (film) (2061, FT)

Ebonito Smellytoot

Apple Colem

Owen Vinegar

Dawn Solinto

**"Ficko City"** is a 2021 (Mt) Fickolean film directed by Ted Wilk. According to Wilk, it will be his last work of cinema. The film was produced by Ted Wilk, Urina Edesme, Ebonito Smellytoot and Apple Colem and distributed and largely funded by WDDN. It was co-directed by Pun Fring, his directorial debut for a feature-length film.

## Synopsis

Grant Fiscer plays lawyer Hermann Duuf, who is attempting to convince media magnate and billionaire Walter Quazzali (Owen Vinegar) not to donate his entire fortune, as well as his companies' copy and distribution media rights, to the city of Ficko City. Duuf is arguing on behalf of Quazzali's children and his future estate, and attempts to use his children and those around Quazzali to convince him of his point of view.

Margerie Stones (Maggie Deal) is a single mother of 3, living in the urban slums of Ficko City. She is waiting for Quazzali's fortune to arrive in the city's hands so that they may build a long-awaited connection line between her home and North Ameglaise, allowing her to get to work faster. Stones is ultimately powerless to the decision that is made, but befriends lawyer Ardie Scrayyer (Enderby Fane) who is fighting the opposite side.

## Production

Ted Wilk first came up with the idea for *Ficko City* in 2008 (Mt), and pitched it to friend Granger Meissner. In 2013 (Mt), Meissner 'read through the whole thing', in their own words, and edited the draft for resubmission to Wilk. The idea and distribution rights were purchased in 2014 (Mt) by CBFilms for [sq]650,000, but was shelved for a number of years due to 'budgeting and casting restraints'. Initially, Apple Colem showed interest in directing the film, which was agreed by Wilk. Colem had intended to co-produce the film through his own production company, Colem Company, alongside CBFilms, but the two companies had numerous disagreements. Ultimately, the idea was pitched to WDDN, who settled with CBFilms to buy the distribution rights for [sq]6.8million.

The film was shot in black and white, with only one colour scene at the end. Wilk wanted to give the film a dated feeling, and wanted to convey the beauty of Ficko City through uncoloured visuals. He felt that it portrayed the city atmosphere better to make objects less easily distinguished from one another. As well as this, it was filmed via holobox-recorder, intended for a fully 3D image, the likes of which have been seldom used since the early 1900s (Mt), and then compressed for 2D viewing. The whole feature film was written in two copies with different outcomes, filmed separately. Wilk and co-director Pun Fring spliced the two cuts together to keep the viewer guessing about the ending.
Cosmologist

A **cosmologist** or **cosmological scientist** is an individual responsible for individually or collectively studying cosmological events, cosmic forces, cosmic energy, or cosmic beings. Examples include Marge Worlds, Goodmaster Plane Jain-Virgil, and Sir Ridley Michaelson.

## History

The study of cosmology and the role of the cosmologist has changed significantly over the years, beginning in around the 1600s (Mt), with Basil Gaynard's theory that magic was intrinsically linked to cosmic energy.

From there, numerous theories have come about expressing where cosmic energy stems from, how cosmic beings use it and how mandrostimia comes about, and experiments have been done to attempt cosmic imbuments of beings.
Daxon Computers

**Daxon** or **Daxon Computers** is a publicly traded interplanetary computing and hardware corporation most prominent around Grangeen Smar, where it invented some of the first computers to reach Grangeen Smar, such as the MA-Daxon.

The company was founded by Timolee Bareknuckle in 1933 (Mt), during the Flooban tech rush. Bareknuckle had previously manufactured larger computers for the government, but set up his own economy after the free market reforms of the Freina Volgarin government, making small, personal computers. Personal computers had already existed around the KC, however Bareknuckle refined the processing power by packing large amounts of processing power and so on into a smaller design.

Daxon computers became known as chunky but capable of running programs very fast. As tech improved around the KC, and Grangeen Smar saw an influx of tech from other planets such as Biackaar and Tylan, the MA\_Daxon 1 and 2 became known as much slower, changing their unique selling point to a machine of excellent storage, a marketing point which they continued to pioneer, allowing around 1.5 to 2x the HDD storage of other leading computers.

In recent times, Daxon has marketed itself as producing 'sturdy, reliable' computers which can be used for storage. It remains among the biggest computer companies in Grangeen Smar by revenue, bringing in 116.7 billion square in 2019 (Mt).

Fickolean Musical Certification

The method of musical certification in Ficko is decided by the Fickolean Board of Culture's 'Office of Music Certification and Acolades' (OMCA). There are four categories for certification; Premium, Presidential, Monarchic and Papal. Each certification must be authorised by the OMCA, even if the criteria are met.

Apporrossian Parliament

The **Apporrossian Parliament** is the primary chamber of power in Apporross, who votes to make legislation in the planet and approve acts of war, budget spending, or changes to the political system. They hold de facto power, though they are ostensibly limited by the monarchy. They are one of two chambers holding power in Apporross, the latter being the local governments, who collectively have minimal power and no power on a planetary stage.

The parliament is made up of 400 members, distributed proportionally across the parties according to their victories in elections. For instance, if a party receives a 25.25% share of the vote, that party will have 101 parliamentary representatives (PRs). These parliamentary representatives vote within the previously mentioned parameters. A majority (greater than 50%) is required to approve these changes, including changes to the law, but are required to vote with a 2/3 majority (66.75%) to approve changes to the system of governance.

Elections that determine the distribution of PRs positions among parties occur every 4 galaptagons/two-time gulps/years, and PRs are chosen by party leaders/cabinets/shadow-cabinets immediately after the election results are announced, though they are often chosen or promised before election results based on expectations. They may not be altered unless PRs resign, retire, or are ejected from the party.

Typically, PRs are selected from a pool of local leaders, of which there are around 24,000, who are elected in their own local districts by local constituents and govern the local areas, often under the supervision of 'super-localities', which can be based around archaic ideas of countries or empires.
AAS Cosmic Event Catalogue

The **AAS Cosmic Event Catalogue** is a Chronology of Cosmic Events created by the Anglonian Academy of Scientists, hence 'AAS'. The Catalogue chronicles numerous events such as large-scale wars, the creation of especially powerful cosmic beings, and others, according to observations made by the Johnslip Cosmologists Group, the Bandert Observation Group, the Bons University Cosmological Research Group, the Billy Hand-Axe Research Group and observers at the Blue Observatory in outer Anglon, cross-referenced with information from the Lala Tapes as well as numerous other accounts from Cosmic Beings, compiled by the Crashian, Fickolean and Apporrossian governments.

## Findings

### The Cromin War

A number of researchers part of the Johnslip Group of Cosmologists at the University of Central Aport, in Apporrossian, suggested a now commonly accepted narrative of a universe-altering war that took place in approximately -2.8B (2.8 billion years ago). The 'war' was first detected as a long-distanced signature of cosmic interference. The signature marked a use of extreme cosmic power, expected to result from cosmic beings clashing. The further assessment that the cosmic signature marked a war came from the understanding that the signature's banderts had not sufficiently decreased to suggest a lack of cosmic activity. This trend occurred over millions of years.

The testimony of the war was later ratified by the Great Surveyers, who gave further details of the Cromin War.

## Contributors

Hundreds of researches from universities across Anglon contributed to the AAS Cosmic Event Catalogue, as well as researchers working in observatories, cosmology groups, and at the Anglonian Academy of Sciences. Notable figures include Goodmaster Oliver Johnslip, who devised the Johnslip System, Goodmaster Michael Bobby Jar, who developed dating methods for cosmic events, Goodmasters Tate Wedgeworth and Andy Jolehan, as well as Goodmaster Judy Barrymimus, who interpreted the ancient findings of the Great Surveyers from Quantum messages, and also helped devise the 'Big Mac Theory'.

Another significant contributor was Marge Worlds, the cosmologist and cosmic being who helped devise the Big Mac Theory and also numerous other theories.

The cosmic beings responsible for giving their testimony about the events outlined in the AAS Cosmic Event Catalogue include Bumling, Plugon, Draygon, Arjun, Laigon, Lala and Octagon.

Estrací Calhoun

2060 Fickolean Presidential Election

**Estrací Mariana Croal Calhoun** is a Fickolean businesswoman, activist and political candidate for the Tap party in the 2060 Presidential Election. She is known for having founded Stopnews, a company responsible for broadcasting minority opinions and for explaining in layman's terms complex political and economic issues.

Calhoun has said that she considers herself to be at the forefront of the 'Transparency Movement', a movement whereby 'ordinary people' are given air-time to explain their opinions, and those out of touch with the political elite are given access to information in tangible ways.

Calhoun was born to a poor background in Capital Jobson, which she has said was 'reliant on welfare'. She testified in front of the Fickolean Senate at the debate over the Expansion of Educational Services Bill in 2043, saying that Drankli's educational programmes and his increased funding had been incredibly beneficial.

## Tap Party Candidacy Campaign

Calhoun announced she would be running in the 2060 Election called by Drankli Panda despite being a long-time supporter of Drankli.

> "We are in a golden age of Fickolean politics right now, we've seen unparalleled economic growth, we see rights for the citizen, we see the big banks at bay, but we've still gotta make the issues heard that Drankli is ignoring."
>
>

The issues she has primarily voiced are a lack of freedom for press due to over-regulation, and insufficient funding allocated to minority communities and 'positive discrimination' programmes.

She has vocally criticised Evancya and has, in numerous televised debates, brought up their 'dreadful humanitarian record'.
Aquarius Music Festival

The Aquarius Music Festival was a festival held in Jerseyville, Aldershot on the planet of Evancya lasting from the 15th to the 18th of June 550 (2019 Mt).The festival was one of the most attended events in Evancyan history and one of the most watched events in the KC. Artists featured at the festival came from a range of genres and were primarily Evancyan, although a few notable Fickolean artists were also present. With peak attendance numbers reaching over 600,000 the festival has gone down in memory as the 'greatest festival in our history.' The festival itself was attended primarily by people below the age of 50 and no one over 70 was present.

## Line up

The line up for the Aquarius festival featured many extremely famous artists and musicians from both Evancya and Ficko. These artists come from a variety of genres but all played a major role in the Evancyan Counter Culture of the 500s.
Fickolean Movie Awards (FMAs)

The FMA is a miniature statuette of a knight

The Fickolean Movie Awards, commonly known as the **FMAs,** are a prestigious Fickolean awards ceremony watched by billions of viewers across the KC. These award ceremonies take place once every year and commemorate excellent film-making. The awards include Best Picture, Best Actor, Best supporting actor, Best writing, and so on.

The Awards were originally set up by the initiative of Martin K. Glaromsphere, a coordinator at the Fickolean Board of Cinema, in 1965 (Mt) since then, an FMA has become one of the most respected awards in Ficko, and one of the most broadly watched television programmes in the Kalooki Corner.

*See also: Most recent FMAs*

*See also: List of Fickolean Movie Awards ceremonies*

## History

The Fickolean Movie Awards were set up by the Fickolean Board of Cinema in 2005/1965 (Mascosian Time), headed by Martin K. Glaromsphere, originally a producer for state-run television broadcasts under the Mennings administration. The first FMA awards ceremony was held in the Great Baniff Epicotra theatre, New Alifca City.

After the event, participants, critics and organisers agreed to make the event annual, and funding was secured by the Fickoelan Board of Culture under Mary Haveland's presidency.

The FMAs have long been an event of cultural, political and ethnic unity. Numerous talking animals, dog people, bear people, pepsoids and spe humanoids as well as humans have been nominated for or won an FMA.

## Statuettes

The Statuettes themselves, often known as 'Femma's' after the Fickolean known 'femma' and the pronunciation of 'FMA', were originally made of bronze when the ceremony began, and continued this way as a tradition, however since the bronze shortage of 1978 (Mt), they have been made from reinforced mithin and goldleaf.

In 1985 (Mt), director Roger Clack auctioned his FMA for the film *'In the hands of Mary (2021, FT)*' for [sq]650,000 to the Glomostone Museum of Art and Film.
Adjiday

Adjidays are large Baltrens, typically the size of leopards or hyenas. The are completely black and rarely seen as they hunt totally at night and rest in dens in the woods during the day.

Adjidays are afriad of humans, and other waking carnivores, however they attack as packs during the night to kill sleeping carnivores as well as bears, jontrims and sheep.

They are typically found in Central to West Alifca in woodland areas, as well as in hotter areas such as the Suclai Savannah, where there are areas of trees. Adjidays are not well equipped for hunting during the day, and seek the shade of well-hidden dens to sleep during the day time.

Their 'dens' are often infiltrated during the day-time by Ballgaons and Leobs, and during the night-time they will often be hunted by Terabirds.

## Origins

The Adjiday is thought to be a descendant of other the prehistoric Baltrens such as Caramungus and Hughmungus, much larger carnivorous mammals with large humps carrying water or milk.

Evolutionary biologists believe they have evolved to be more nimble and lighter, and as such evade predators and not be heard during the night, which became necessity due to the rising heat levels, leading to larger Baltrens going extinct in the hotter regions such as the Suclai Savannah.
(United Planets) Vote for the expansion of the UP

## Background

Evancya, a formerly very reclusive and introverted planet, came out of the woodwork to make a proposal to the United Planet general assembly in order to expand its powers and its inter-planetary authority into the realms of enforcing investigation to violations of interplanetary law, enforcing economic trade laws and humanitarian laws and the guarantee of aid in the event of natural disaster.

## Voting

Below is a table of United Planets states and how they voted in a yes/no vote:

Final results: Abstain (4), Yes (13), No (5)
Cristo

Cristo is a planet located in the Buff-Buff Buffing Star System, which has a population size of 13 billion people and is currently run by a communist dictator

## Government

### Motto

"Don't get lost in the sauce, or else the sauce will get lost in you"

## History

In 2003, the Capitalist party (The Bronxis Party) were revealed to be experimenting heavily on animals for the personal gain of the general public, the Communist Party that existed there (The Cremlins) heavily objected to the animal cruelty and began rallying and uprising against the Bronxis Party, deciding that they shouldn't be allowed to enter for the next general election. The Cremlins were seen as a threat and the Bronix Party sent armed forces after them, claiming them as terrorists, some more radical Cremlin's took this opportunity to fight back using violence. The Cremlin's leader Slim Silverton, was assassinated and replaced with a pro-violence and more radical cremlin named, Grondi Bettercall. After 2 years of fighting, the Bronxis Party was able to crush the Cremlins revolt, however whilst they attempted to recover, another communist party group called the Deltaorians, seized control of Cristo. The Deltaorians were controlled by a reasonable communist who believed in equal rights for every living being, Cleveland Delta.

Cleveland Delta is still currently in power, and has dissolved democracy slowly in favour a dictatorship, however groups are currently fighting this and hoping to regain and democratic system.

## Culture

In 1960, there were giant floods, which forced locals out of there homes and needing to build homes very high above water, on giant stilts. Parts of the land remain very marshy and flooding is frequent.

Cristo's number one export is clothing and high-fashion and natural materials such as wool, Cristo take's pride in it's high fashion sense.

The forests in Cristo are very thick due to the constant flooding. this allows for high imports of wood, timber and other sustainable materials.
