Pakistan

From Gothpoodle

• Population: 320 million
• Aspects: Powerful, Totalitarian, Third Wave

The past century has not been kind to Pakistan, which suffers from a booming population, internal instability, and a long-standing confrontation with India. The current military government dates to 2087, and has managed to hold the country together only through a mix of brutal repression and the redirection of its people’s frustration against their foreign neighbors. The current government has been fairly effective in encouraging economic growth, bringing Pakistan finally up to a low Third Wave level.

Pakistan’s military forces are not impressive, but its intelligence agencies have are very willing to engage in clandestine activity. Pakistani-supported terror groups have attacked a number of targets in India and the Islamic Caliphate, and there have been threats of similar activity as far away as Europe and the United States. Rumor has it that Pakistan is developing virulent “nanoplagues” and other terror weapons, possibly with the help of fugitive scientists from the TSA’s Bioweapons Directorate.
