The '''FAMAG''', short for ''Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Gabion'', literally "Assault Rifle of [[MAG]]", is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] assault rifle. Introduced in 1962, it is the primary service weapon of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] and has been given as lethal aid to [[New Harren]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. It is also the standard patrol carbine of the [[Custodes Yonderre]].  
The economy of Puertego is a mixed socialist-oriented market economy with the private sector allowed to operate in much of the economy though state control still being common in many industries such as utilities and natural resources. The economy is one of the fastest growing on the continent with it consistently measuring 8-9% GDP growth every year with the economy showing no real signs of slowing in its growth any time soon unless a catastrophic event hits the economy unexpectedly. While the economy has seen rapid and continuous growth ever since 2008 there are still many people who critique many aspects of the economy such as the massive income inequality and poverty allowed to exist in it with Puertego having some of the worst income inequality in the entire world, there has also been criticism towards the countries heavy corruption in state run industries, lack of wage growth despite the growing economy, and the lack of a lot of social welfare commonly found in other countries.


The FAMAG was designed by [[MAG]] between 1959-1961 with a general layout and gas system based on the [[Corumm|Corummese]] {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle}}. The FAMAG is a select fire weapon with the fire selector mounted on the right side, traversing vertically between safe, fully automatic and semi automatic. The FAMAG fires the intermediate [[7.5×42mm Yonderian]] cartridge, a shortened version of the [[7.5x62mm Yonderian]] used by previous Yonderian rifles. The [[7.5×42mm Yonderian|7.5x42mm]] is very similar to the {{wpl|7.62×39mm}} used by the Corummese type 56 but delivers a slightly higher muzzle velocity. The FAMAG feeds from 30 or 40 round magazines curved to account for the taper of the cartridge casings. The FAMAG was designed with an open three pronged flash supressor that doubles as a wire cutter which works by twisting the muzzle onto a strand of wire and firing a round.
The Puertegan economy was formerly almost exclusively based on farming cash crops and selling them abroad with things such as sugar and rubber however in recent times the economy has been moving to a more industrialized one with the country making it very easy and profitable for companies to outsource their production to Puertego, in recent times Puertego has become a large producer of things such as steel, textiles, chemicals, various refined metals, and aluminum though natural resource extraction still remains a large sector of the economy with mining copper, tin, zinc, nickel and other minerals as well as farming sugar, rubber, and tobacco still being large industries in Puertego. Services are a small sector of the economy with the government prioritizing industry and the only real service jobs are in shipping, finance, or banking or government operated utility companies. Remittances are the last part of the Puertegan economy with the country receiving an estimated $70 billion back from the 14 million Puertegan working abroad often in [[Pelaxia]], [[Cartadinia]], and [[Caphiria]]. The economy of Puertego is largely export based with exports outnumbering imports on a scale of 12 to 1, the country is one of the world's largest importers of energy with them buying coal, oil, and natural gas from almost anyone aboard who will sell it to them as well as being a large importer of food.


The FAMAG has been continually modernized throughout its production with additions like threaded muzzles for taking suppressors, folding stocks, improved fire selector switches and {{wpl|Picatinny rail|rails}} for mounting optics, grips, bipods and lights. Following [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] standardization on the [[6.8x43mm]] cartridge, [[MAG]] has begun producing the rifle in the new cartridge and also offers a conversion kit to convert existing FAMAGs to the new caliber. As of 2026, [[7.5×42mm Yonderian|7.5x42mm]] remains the primary caliber used in FAMAGs of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]].

===Development history===
[[File:Valmet M58.jpg|thumb|left|Pre-adoption trials prototype named FA-X59 still chambered for [[Corumm|Corummese]] ammunition and using [[Corumm|Corummese]] slab-sided magazine]]
Designers at [[MAG]] received six [[Corumm|Corummese]] {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle|Type 56 assault rifles}} in late 1958 and soon set about the process of reverse engineering the weapon. Exactly how MAG acquired the Corummese rifles is unknown, but it has been suggested by anonymous sources within [[MAG]] that [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] gun runners acted as middle men in the acquisition. The very first prototype, FA-X59, was chambered for the {{wpl|7.62×39mm}} caliber used by the Corummese type 56 and was still fed from Corummese magazines. Temporary production of the Corummese cartridge was set up at [[MAG]] while the company's ballisticians developed the intermediate [[7.5×42mm Yonderian]] cartridge. The new caliber would allow the recycling of much of the fabrication materiel already used for [[7.5x62mm Yonderian]]. The new intermediate cartridge also had better ballistic properties than the Corummese caliber, owing to higher muzzle velocity and tighter tolerances in production.


In 1960, the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] announced a project to supplement the [[FdC-43]] battle rifle by replacing it in the assault role with a new, lighter weapon. Foreign battle rifle designs like the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[SARM-1|SAR-40]] and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] {{wpl|FN FAL|FAL}} were initially considered because of their lighter nature and shorter overall length than that of the [[FdC-43]], and a single written source from [[Army Procurement Command (Yonderre)|Army Procurement Command]] even suggested looking into acquiring the production rights to or wholesale importing of the [[Corumm|Corummese]] {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle}}. Yonderian designs submitted included the FS-58 by [[FS]] (an intermediate design using the unsuccesful 6.5x39mm cartridge) and FdC-57 by [[AMS]]. [[MAG]] submitted their prototype for what would eventually become the FAMAG, known then as FA-X60. The [[MAG]] bid was selected by [[Army Procurement Command (Yonderre)|Army Procurement Command]] for further funding and development continued until 1962 when it was accepted for service as the FAMAG, short for ''Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Gabion'', literally "Assault Rifle of [[MAG]]".

[[File:RK62M3 Rifle.jpg|thumb|FAMAG in modern configuration with hand stop and close combat optic mounted]]
Mining has always been and remains a large part of the Puertegan economy with the country producing according to 2025 data 18,500 tons of tin, 1,400,000 tons of zinc, 270,000 tons of nickel, 24,500 tons of cobalt, 2,400 tons of lithium, 120 tons of gold, 4,160 tons of silver, and 45,000,000 tons of iron ore. It is estimated through official state numbers that 14% of the population is employed through mining with wages in the sector being barely below average for Puertego and all being employed in the state-run mining company with private companies in that sector being disallowed by law granting the state a complete monopoly on mining operations in Puertego.
The biggest single improvement over the {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle}} the FAMAG is based on, apart from the metallurgical quality of the receiver and the overall quality of the barrel, are the sights: unlike the Type 56, which has the rear sight mounted on top of the gas piston housing on top of the receiver, the FAMAG rear sight is mounted on the rear of the receiver cover, effectively doubling the sight radius.  


The gas tube is dove tailed into the front trunnion, and is a single-diameter tube, unlike the Type 56 tube, which has a star-shaped cross-section to guide the piston while allowing gasses to vent behind it. The gas piston has a cog shaped ring on the stem, behind the piston head. The ring's diameter matches the tube diameter, and it acts as the guide within the gas tube, the notches on the ring allowing excess gasses to be vented behind the piston head/guide. This system reduces the number of parts, and simplifies manufacturing as well as assembly/disassembly.

===Yonderian Defence Force===
[[File:YDF Kit 2.png|thumb|Soldier of the YDF with FAMAG]]
[[File:YDF operator.png|thumb|[[DELTA]] operator with FAMAG]]
The FAMAG was originally introduced to supplement the heavier [[FdC-43]] battle rifle, giving soldiers a handier weapon for close quater combat and assaults, similar to employment of submachine guns by combatants in the [[Second Great War]]. Squad composition as put down by the [[Yonderian General Staff]] in 1962 was thus one [[SMG-59|Mitrailleuse mle 55]] machine gun, four FAMAG assault rifles and five [[FdC-43]] battle rifles per infantry squad. In 1967 this was changed to one [[SMG-59|Mitrailleuse mle 55]] machine gun, seven FAMAG assault rifles and two [[FdC-43]] battle rifles, and by 1972 the [[FdC-43]] had fallen entirely out of any and all future organizational planning in favour of the FAMAG, though FdC-43s were retained for reservists in case of war into the 1990s.


The FAMAG rifle has seen extensive use during the [[Final War of the Deluge]] in the hands of soldiers of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]], [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|the Royal and Confederate Army]] of [[New Harren]] and private military contractors like [[Intrepid Enterprises]]. The rifle's sturdy build and simple gas system allows the FAMAG to operate reliably even in extreme weather conditions with minimal maintenance.
The manufacturing industry in Puertego has experienced rapid growth in recent years with the countries cities becoming heavily industrialized, manufacturing accounts for 2/3rds of GDP in Puertego and employs 1/3rd of the countries workforce. In 2030 the government of Puertego announced that the manufacturing industry had been completely privatized with the last few factories of the state-owned cement company being liquidated and the company being disbanded, growth in the sector remains extremely high with it experiencing a growth rate of around 14% yearly. The largest manufacturing sectors in Puertego are metallurgy, cement, chemicals, and textiles with smaller industries in arms, alcohol, machinery, food processing, and arms. In Puertego it's estimated that around 80% of manufacturing businesses are foreign owned with the 20% domestic owned ones almost universally being owned by high-ranking government officials in Puertego.
===Custodes Yonderre===
SWAT teams of the [[Custodes Yonderre]] have used FAMAG rifles since the late 1960s as a heavier alternative to the 9mm [[SMPM-3L]] submachine gun. The use of FAMAGs was authorized with local readiness units of the [[Custodes Yonderre]] in 1986. Starting in 2012, over concerns of terrorist groups and increasingly dangerous gang activity, police cruisers of the [[Custodes Yonderre]] started carrying FAMAG rifles alongside the 9mm [[SMPM-4]] submachine gun. The FAMAG is today considered the standard patrol carbine of the [[Custodes Yonderre]].
===Royal and Confederate Army===
At the request of Commandant of the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|the Royal and Confederate Army]] of [[New Harren]] [[Guillaume d'Agostino]], thousands of FAMAG rifles have been given as lethal aid to [[New Harren]] from [[Yonderre]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. With Yonderian volunteers as instructors, the Royal and Confederate Army has received extensive training in the use and maintenance of FAMAG rifles and put them to use during the [[Final War of the Deluge]].

Construction in Puertego has been a booming sector since the onset of the nation's rapid industrialization with the demand for new factories in the nation with the building of new factories and infrastructure to accommodate the countries rapidly growing industry as well as the governments large scale projects across the country. Construction in Puertego is privately owned with the state-run construction company being liquidated in 2019 with 4 large-scale privately-owned construction companies all filling its place almost immediately with the companies being owned by the current minister of Internal Security, two former members of the National Assembly, and a high-ranking general in the Puertegan army, however besides the big four construction companies in Puertego there are several much smaller privately owned construction companies which often operate on the grey market in an attempt to dodge taxes on their work with construction estimated to be the largest grey market industry in Puertego by far.

The energy and other utility sectors of Puertego remain under complete state control with the state granting itself a monopoly on the sector. The energy sector is primarily fueled through natural gas, crude oil, and coal though hydropower also makes up a sizeable portion of energy generated however the government has made an attempt to switch to less environmentally destructive methods of energy generation with multiple nuclear power plants currently being built in order to meet the nation's growing energy needs. The national energy grid often has trouble producing enough energy to sustain the national energy consumption which spiked significantly after the nations rapid industrialization with the government choosing to save energy for the industrial sector leading to only 1 in every 4-5 streetlights being kept on and scheduled black outs in the nation's cities being a daily occurrence often lasting around 2.5 hours each day and only buildings deemed necessities like government offices and hospitals being unaffected, though there have been initiatives by the government to increase the percentage of the population with access to electricity in their homes only around 45% of Puertegans currently have access with the presence of large amounts of informal housing being a primary obstacle to achiving higher levels. The water industry in Puertego is also state owned just like the electricity industry with many recent improvements to the water supply of Puertego in recent years such as vastly improved sanitation and disinfecting along with access to clean drinking water in cities being almost universal and in rural areas reaching an average of 75% with access.

=== Gambling ===
 
The gambling industry in Puertego was originally outlawed in by the 2002 Moral Standards Act which outlawed all unauthorized forms of gambling and provided for penalties ranging from monetary fines to short prison sentences, although the Puertegan government does not list gambling as an offense which someone is able to go to prison over. However, while gambling is still officially illegal in Puertego the law only applies to Puertegan citizens allowing many casinos to operate inside Puertego's borders designed to cater to the interests of tourists with 22 such establishments existing in Puertego. However, despite the restrictions on gambling imposed by the government gambling as a past time has been deeply ingrained in Puertegan culture with men who refuse to take part in gambling often being labeled as unmasculine or cowards with a fear of any risks causing illegal gambling to be a large black-market sector in Puertego with the police force often being paid bribes to look the other way on it. Common forms of illegal gambling in Puertego include cockfights or dogfights, card rooms, and sports books with most of those run by organized crime, the large number of opportunities for gambling plus many Puertegan men feeling they need to gamble due to cultural expectations has led to widespread gambling addiction plaguing Puertego.

The gambling industry in Puertego was originally outlawed in by the 2002 Moral Standards Act which outlawed all unauthorized forms of gambling and provided for penalties ranging from monetary fines to short prison sentences, although the Puertegan government does not list gambling as an offense which someone is able to go to prison over. However, while gambling is still officially illegal in Puertego the law only applies to Puertegan citizens allowing many casinos to operate inside Puertego's borders designed to cater to the interests of tourists with 22 such establishments existing in Puertego. However, despite the restrictions on gambling imposed by the government gambling as a past time has been deeply ingrained in Puertegan culture with men who refuse to take part in gambling often being labeled as unmasculine or cowards with a fear of any risks causing illegal gambling to be a large black-market sector in Puertego with the police force often being paid bribes to look the other way on it. Common forms of illegal gambling in Puertego include cockfights or dogfights, card rooms, and sports books with most of those run by organized crime, the large number of opportunities for gambling plus many Puertegan men feeling they need to gamble due to cultural expectations has led to widespread gambling addiction plaguing Puertego.
