Many activities around the island will pay out experience points or "XP" which counts towards your level. As you begin to level up, you will earn '''Perk Points''' which can be spent on perks to increase various aspects and statistics or and unlock additional features such as the ability to mine Uranium. There are a few important perks such as Unlimited Stamina which will help you run without running out of stamina, or Mine Amount 1-4 which will help increase the amount of items you get per mining cycle.
== Texas Department of Public Safety ==
Texas's primary Law Enforcement faction on ANZUSGaming is the Texas State Police. The State Police is run by State Command, and holds many departments that allow a smooth daily operation of the Texas State Police. The Texas State Police maintains a full police presence in the non-incorporated regions for the State of Texas which do not have their own law enforcement agency.  


==Gaining Experience==
The Texas State Police are to protect and serve the Citizens of Texas. Troopers within the Texas State Police are taught to put citizens' lives before their own lives in the name of order, and the protection of Texas. This is the main objective of the Texas State Police, amongst other roles.  
Different actions will give you different amounts of XP. For example, simply being on the server will grant you experience points for "taking a slot" much like how you accrue a standard paycheck.  


===Experience Factors===
The Texas State Police upholds and enforces the law of Texas, and is directed by the Chief of Police, as well as any administrative orders issued by the Governor's Office, in cooperation with the Texas State Police for correct Administrative Order enforcement.  
Certain items or events can increase your experience gain.  


In game, restaurant food items can help or hinder your XP gain. For example, Mullet Sandwiches grant an experience boost whereas Tiger Burgers, while they are fantastic for boosting processing speeds, will significantly reduce your experience for as long as the effects last.  
== How to Join ==
