History
Albert Steinwater was an ordinary teenager living in a vault when some infected rats broke into the vault. Albert was bitten and cought the virus. Doctors in the vault were sure he would die but he didn't. In fact, he gained a stronger body and was able to beat every man in the vault in a wrestling match. When he was 16 he was told by his mother how he became the way he was. Albert then began believing he survived because he was a God and renamed himself to his nickname, 'Titan'. He then left the vault and went to Houston. There he began to preach and eventually in 2498 got enough followers that he was able to found his own nation, 'The Order of Titan'. He was influenced heavily by the Crusaders around 1000 years ago despite being an anti-christian. He made Ed James and Antonia Allison prophets. Ed went to preach in Washington and Antonia went to preach in Maine. Soon, OT had a large empire with land in Maine, Washington and Texas. However, The Kingdom of America was blocking OT from having land access to all their land and with help from Los Californias, invaded America. The war lasted for around 10 years and OT was one of the most powerful nations on Earth and where the 2nd biggest nation the Post-War World had ever seen yet. Titan out of greed though decided to invade Los Californias to make sure that they had no competition. The war began in 2545 and Titan was killed when leading a surprise attack against the Los Californians. After news of his death spread, OT fell into a Civil War with many people calling Titan a liar. After the collapse of the Order and losing to Los Californias, the nation was scattered throughout Pre-War America. Tribes and other nations would invade the fallen empire and only two pieces where left. One in Maine and a vassal of The Kingdom of America and one in Washington and the vassal of Los Californias. The strongest nation to come out of OT was the Order of Houston in Texas.

Society
OT is a strict nation making everything Titan hated illegal. This includes get drugged or drunk. Breaking the law is most of the time punished with death but priests and other holy wo/men are excused from death as a punishment and only lose their title. However, once they have lost their title and commit another crime punished with death, they have no excuse. Public executions will take palce alongside roads with massive crossed erected where up to 3 people could be crucified - one in the middle, one on the right and one on the left. Wrestling and other violent sports are seen as a holy sport and people good at the sports are highly respected. This has resulted in a small but fierce army.

Structure
There are 2 states in OT: Weshinten and Meine. OT hasn't got much of a government as they are vassals of two different nations. However, the closest thing they have to a government is a king who is the overall ruler and will either accept or decline proposals made by the Vice King. The Vice King is the ruler of either the State of Weshinten or Meine. The main mission of the king to break free of American and Los Californian rule and conquer the whole of Pre-War USA.

Religions
In OT, there is only one religion. If you are caught practising a different religion you will be forced to convert to Titanism or just crucified. Here is a list of legal religions practised in OT in order of size, Largest-Smallest.
 * Titanism

Major Cities
Church of Titan: Capital of Order of Titan and capital of The State of Weshinten.

Ville Antonia: Capital of Meine.

Military
OT has a small but fierce military made up of 2,000 men. The army was influenced a lot by The Crusaders over 1000 years ago. In a battle, the Heavy Infantry and Light Infantry will attack at the same time hopefully confusing the enemies and giving OT the upper hand in the battle.
 * Heavy Infantry: Soldiers with heavy army and could withstand most bullets,
 * Light Infantry: Soldiers who make up the bulk of the military and are usually equipped with steel swords.

Relations
Since the Civil War, OT ended making communications with the outside instead become an isolated nation. Most people that have never seen OT but heard about it will think it to be a tribe. OT has okay relations with Los Californias and Kingdom of America and neutral relations with everyone else except The Order of Houston who are OT's sworn enemy.

Here is a list of Wars OT has been in:
 * Titan Containment of America.
 * Titan Crusade Against Los Californias.
 * Titan Civil War.
 * Titan-Houston War.
 * Humiliation of The Order of Titan
 * Los Californian/American Subjugation of Titan

Technology
OT has good technology compared to the rest of the other nations of a similar size, however, compared to major powers like Los California and America, they have poor technology. Military tech and the average life are very similar to the Medieval Era. Swords, Crossbows and Bows are the most used weapons in OT and are seen as superior to Guns. Farming is done by slaves from raider tribes. Weshinten is definitely more developed than Meine as LC has been building up infrestructure and even connecting Weshinten to Los Californias with railways. There is also an airport in Weshinten's Capital 'Church of Titan'.

Currency
(The Titan symbol is not $. $ is just used to represent the currency). When OT still used to be an empire, they had a currency called the 'Titanium Dollar (TD)'. Mints that produced the money were destroyed by rebels and raiders resulting in a massive shortage in TDs. Since collapsing and become a vassal of Los Californias and America, the DT stopped being the national currency. The Californian Dollar replaced DT in Weshinten and the American Dollar replaced DT in Meine. DT is still accepted as a currency, though. The conversion rate of Titanium Dollar to Pre-War money is 10 cents for 1 Pre-War money note. The common denominations of the note are: $50, $100. The denominations for the coins are: $10, $5, $2, $1, 50 cents, 20 cents, 10 cents, 5 cents, 2 cents and 1 cent.

Trivia

 * OT has one of the worst cases of NV in Post-War America and maybe even the world. This is because the mutations that have occurred to the victims of NV result in body deformation causing bulky, large wo/men.
