Special base characteristics
Concordia is in most economic measurement units head and shoulders above the three other bases in Jedinica Vrijstaat. It even has the largest population of all bases within United Nations territory. As a consequence the regional government center is stationed here. It isn't all sunshine in Concordia though. The unprecedented growth in population - both due to lower mortality rates and Hivean refugees - and industrial production in the last decade of the previous century has created a large class of drones, which don't have a well-paid job and live in cramped arcologies. Plans are underway though to fabricate several huge habitation complexes, which would have room for no less than 70000 citizens.
Geography
At the time of its foundation, Concordia promised to become a small cute harbor town, located at the northern end of a long and shallow fjord. Time proved otherwise however. A few years after the foundation of the base, it became clear Concordia was located near a very active volcanic area. Heavy earthquakes shook the small town of Concordia, destroying a big part of its infrastructure. Happily by now this infrastructurial damage has been repaired and the vulcanic activity has calmed down. But as a result of this turbulent past, Concordia has become a mountain city, located between several high peaks, more precisely the old vulcano in the SW: Mount Centauri with its 2572 metres, and the second highest mountain within Peacekeeping territory, in the NE, the Ben Nevis with its 2810 metres, named after the famous mountain in Old Earth Scotland. Concordia itself is locate in a valley, 1518 metres low, between these two peaks. This still makes it the highest base of them all, also the only one on rocky terrain, as can be noted in the cityview picture above. Due to this height, some sort of snowfall occurs every year during the winter period, so Concordia is known for its skiing tourism.
The vulcanic eruptions have also created other advantages for Concordia. Foremost it has brought to the surface many valuable minerals. The other advantage is the rich soil vulcanic ground is. Together with the heavy rainfall (due to the high mountains stopping the clouds) and the high temperature microclimate (sunshine falls vertically on the slopes) the western hills are the most productive of all planet. The eastern side is colder and drier, but still good enough for forest, as was proved by the forestation project some decades ago.

Special base characteristics
The biggest industry in Pandemonium is the holo industry. Many many years ago it started as a marxist amateur group of theatre players performing a show every year to their fellow citizens, to forget the rain outside. Their goal was to bring culture to the common man, also those drones who never visit a theatre in their lives. They had much succes and eventually were asked to perform in other bases as well. Naturally it was impossible to play live for all the drones of the Peacekeeping faction, so they decided to start a non-profit company to distribute recordings of their plays. Later on they stepped over to film production and directed movies dealing with mainly social issues. The big breakthrough however came with the invention of 3DHoloVision Technology. Everyone knows their first factionwide succes "Deirdre's lover", directed by Pandemoniak. Many succeses have followed, and now they are thinking to transport their activities to the oppressed drones in Morgan's corporate dictatorship.
Geography
Pandemonium was founded in the middle of a large track of rainy, even swampy, land. The raininess is explained, just as with Concordia, due to the presence of the Pholus Ridge mountain chain in the east. This makes the region excellent for nutrient production, provided some measures to fertilize the ground are undertaken. Unfortunately the mineral and especially fossil material presence is much lower. The first reason, so our geographers say, was that this region was covered by xenofungus some thousand years ago, absorbing all fossil materials and possible fuels. The second reason is the aforementioned heavy rainfall. It washes away the upper ground layer, leaving a barren unproductive layer in top. Forestation projects have been set up in an attempt to give the area some industrial potential, but with minor succes. Therefore the current governor of Jedinica has decided to specialize on the one thing Pandemonium has: water! As soon as the terraformation projects in the north have been finished, large industrialized farms will be constructed in the vicinity of Pandemoniak, growing genetically engineered crops needing lots of water (and thus lowering the swampiness of the region) but little minerals.

Special base characteristics
Sheathed Sword has the honour to be the Peacekeeper base with the lowest GDP and the lowest annual energy production. This is of course due to the special nature of this base, a collectivist community of warriors. Its foundation and name was planned long ahead in honour of the politician which dominated the entire second half of the twenty-second century: High Commissioner DeathByTheSword. A big interest of him has always been Eastern, more specifically Chinese, philosophy and martial arts. Thus Sheathed Sword was planned as thé centre for those subjects. First there is the university, which specializes in studies of authors such as Sun Tzu and his still present influences on military tactics and strategy. Second there is the martial arts academy, where pupils learn various unarmed combat sports. For those looking for a military career, this is the place to be! Even Yang is envious of this eastern philosophical base and rumours are going he wants to send his own troops to this base as well...
Due to the special character of this base, few people are employed in the classic agricultural and industrial sectors. Of course the nutritional and productive tasks still have to fulfilled. To do so, Sheathed Sword is in the process of constructing a whole army of supply crawlers, specialized in harvesting food or mining minerals.
Geography
Sheathed Sword is located in a very average area. Located in a bay. Not too rainy, not too arid. Flat areas, and more elevated rocky ones. There are only two special characteristics. One is the noticable lack of fungus. Not even 5% of the Sheathed Sword territory is covered by the alien lifeform. Scientists are in the dark why this is so. They can only observe the Xenofungus species tends to exist in abundance in some regions, almost creating whole networks, and be completely absent in others. The other characteristic is the rich mineral mine in the SE. This makes sure the eastern warriors will never lack resources. It might also allow the creation of a military apparatus in the future, once the base is developed enough.

Special base characteristics
While Sheathed Sword focuses on the military sciences, Terminal Dogma focuses on the social and human sciences & ideologies, such as politology, sociology, communication sciences, psychology, pedagogy, the whole lot... The political faculty of Terminal Dogma University is known for its numerous heavy debates and even street fights, especially over the issue Free Market versus Planned or Green, a debate which continues up until this day. As many politicians want their sons and daughters to follow in their footsteps, they send their children to this base too. As a consequence this base has a whole bunch of 14-year olds running around loose in the base. No wonder the pedagogy faculty is sited here. The same reason for the psychology faculty. This base has the highest amount of psychological diseases. Whether this is caused by the high mind worm activity, the group of megalomaniacal commies and fascists, or the immature children yelling the whole time is still unsure...
Besides being the most prestigous universitarian base of the entire Peacekeeping faction, Terminal Dogma has also grown into a free trade haven due to the MY 2202 Archaic Economic Reforms of our well-known Social Engineering director. This was done to stop the brain drain of many talented and educated UN citizens to the Morgan faction, as there corporations are bound by less rules and regulations, and there are less laws on ethical matters. Now citizens with corporate ambitions can try their luck in this special free trade zone. Consequence of course was a surge of talents all over our faction to this base, as is proved by the population figures, indicating a growth of no less than 35% in four years. The second consequence was a steep increase of the base's GP. It even surpasses its closest competitors Concordia, New Apolyton and ThisBaseIsBelongToUs in economic power. A problem though is that Terminal Dogma is located at the very edge of our faction, far away from the watchful eye of New Apolyton and Concordia. This makes a large part of the esteemed GDP actually consists out of black market deals. There are also rumours of illegal experminents in genetics and neural grafting, resulting in creatures who don't look very human anymore. Pictures of these experiments are currently circulating in the Virtual World network nodes of all bases. The last report came from the Rec Commons at New Apolyton. If anyone can provide more information about these expermiments, please contact the local authorities. Discretion is guaranteed.
Geography
When you have a 360 degrees cityview, you can notice two things. The whole north, west and south is surrounded by metres thick packs of impenetrable fungus, walls of red to the horizon. Recently there have been attempts to dig roads through the fungus, which lessen the isolation of Terminal Dogma. Still there is a lot of danger for mind worms, as was proved in the big mind worm attacks of the first decade of the twenty-third century.
In the east you can see untouched flat fields until the horizon. Discussion what to do with them is still ongoing. Forest them or farm and condense them? Jedinica citizens are always free to post their opinion about this issue, or any other concerning Jedinica, in this thread.

at this rate he doesn't need us to pay any of our bartabs 
Problem is how to represent that in-game. Unless Terminal Dogma becomes a seperate faction, it remains under the current PK planned economy.
? Remember it can only be one.
