Taino (Lager Taino Resort and Spice Colony)

Lager Taino, called Taino for short, is nation on Io, a moon of Jupiter.

## History

Lager Taino was created when the Empire created a spice-mining colony on Io. As a young colony, its control fell into the hands of a few wealthy businesspeople, although officially it is still property of the Empire.

## Unofficial Leaders

### Alfred Palpetine

A sneaky old bastard, a charming older man in charge of Spicy Casinos.

### Alex Sparrow

A young, industrious, ambitious man loved by his colleagues but likely to get stabbed in the back. In charge of the Taino Spaceline.

### Jane Rivers

An intelligent, intimidating middle-aged woman highly capable of seeing lies and drama, in charge of TainoTourist.

### Nathan McMiller

An oily young businessman in charge of Taino Spice Co. and messenger to the Empire. He makes up for Taino's lack of vote by being a skilled speaker to the Diet.

### Elizabeth Keppler

A powerful woman in charge of Imperial Resorts, the biggest company in the nation. She is the leader of the five, and fights to keep control.

## Official Leader

### Jack Longley

Cousin of Alfred Palpatine, Jack is the Official leader of the Lager Taino Spice Colony. Due to intense pressure from the other, unofficial leaders, as well as the fact that Nathan McMiller is his spokesperson, he, in practice, has no power, and is simply a figurehead.

## Geography

Lager Taino is usually divided up not by counties or states, but by economic spheres of influence from each of the five companies: Imperial Resorts, Taino Spice Co, Taino Spaceline, TainoTourist, and Spicy Casinos. This makes sense due to the fact that the five split up the land in a way they could all agree, so each section does actually have real borders and such.

## Features

### Taino Spaceline

The Taino Spaceline is a commercial and cruise spaceline company that exploits Taino's booming spice industry for faster travel to and from Io. Covered in boosters and full of spice, tourists and party animals can very feasably go to and from this wonderful moon.

### Imperial Resorts

Named as an appeasement to the Empire, Imperial Resorts is the biggest company in the nation. They own many islands and coastlines, and provide a wonderful, high-end or otherwise, stay in Io. Sometimes you can find Spice dealers here.

### Taino Spice Co

The oldest company in the nation, Taino Spice Co, with its North and South divisions, has been mining away at the spice since the creation of the colony. It technically has the most land, although it is 95% uninhabitable.

### Spicy Casinos

A huge casino chain split into two classes, with the high-end in the 1st Division and the low-end in the 2nd division. Anyone can open a casino in the 2nd Division, but a board of directors, if Mr. Palpetine allows, decide if you can be moved into 1st Division. Often you can also buy spice from 1st Division casinos, although it is discouraged.

### TainoTourist

Working for the charm of the generally shallow world of Lager Taino, TainoTourist owns a few small areas around the moon chosen for charming or romantic areas. People can go skiing of course, but in TainoTourist land they can then sip hot cocoa in a lodge by the fire. They can surf of course, but in TainoTourist land they can then go out on a romantic date with ice cream as they watch the sunset (amplified by the biodome ceiling screen) or watch Jupiter set.

### Lusitania

The first ship in the fleet, a middle-class cruise spaceliner built for travel to and from Io above all else.

### Titanic

The second ship in the fleet, a giant, low-end spaceliner built more for luxury than the Lusitania.

### Black Pearl

The third ship of the fleet, a cozy, high-end spaceliner built for extreme luxury and high speed

### Others

Victory, Bounty, and Hollyhock are the most famous not mentioned, although there are even more more, built for either speed or luxury, with varying levels of quality.
