-Military-
Volunteer only? Y
Mandatory Service? N
Military strengths (list 3):

• Good loyalty and competence because members are serving by choice. It is treated as a career instead of an obligation.
  
• Large amount of un-furred reconaissance and operations equipment
  
• Good engineering corps due to talent pool and decent pay.
  

Military weaknesses (list 3):

• Hard to increase size of military due to it being voluntary
  
• Top-heavy, very small pool of basic infantry. High reliance on unfurred equipment.
  
• Units are difficult to reorganize due to socio-psychological issues of the dinosaur species. Thus limiting their versatility in some situations.
  

Nuclear weapons? Too many
Biological weapons? Not usually
Chemical weapons? Y
Space based weapons? Only defensive.


-Technology-
Relative technology level- mid 21st century with some limited anachronistic aspects.

Technological advantage (up to 2, must have moderator approval):
- Early FTL system in development which uses a number of exotic particles and derives it's power from distortion and subsequent recoil of causality. (Yes, kind of like Douglas Adams' infinite improbability drive).
- Very early exploration of particle physics resulted in extensive development of fission technologies, radiovoltaics, shielding and nuclear infrastructure. Also items such as: neutrino communications, Aethertube electronics (integrated vacuum tubes and semisequential quantum memory) And extreme applications of tapes and various other tube-like equipment.


Technological disadvantage (minimum of 1):
- Weird computer standards. Partly due to language.
- A lot of inefficient infrastructure (Cultural tendency to re-use
everything has some problems). And it takes a long time to replace it because of this.
- Many common technological items have to be tailored to a unique public-space psychology before being fully implemented, this makes implementation of some public things more complex.
- Cell phones and other hand-held devices have to have bigger casing because of ergonomic/physiological reasons.


Internet access: (Good)
Dominate Transportation Method: (Different in different areas. There are a lot of mass transit trains in cities.)
Television access: (Good)

(Still working on it)



-History-
BCE 3250: Quien schism, some Kuho tribes sail to modern day Hneida and southern tip of Eledorian penninsula

BCE 3253: first evidence of Chimerism in Kuho. (based on archaeological findings)
BCE 3258: Red Plague outbreak on southern Eledorian penninsula.
BCE 3380: Final wave of red plague hits ancient Hneida.
BCE 2800: Kuho persecution of those with Chimerism.
Hneidat Chimeratic Exodus begins, majority of those
exiled end up on the isle of Talarine
BCE 2780: Chimeratic colony of Do-Nolar-Coh formed.
BCE 2750: First Talarine War between Hcirren and DoNolarcoh Kuho
BCE 2748: Brief Red Plague Outbreaks in Hcirren and DoNolarcoh result in a truce.
BCE 2710: Hcirren monarchy collapses due to military coup and civil unrest after dynasty blames poor conditions on DoNolarcoh.
BCE 2650: Hcirren and DoNolarcoh end up touching due to growth, the two city-states agree to erect a wall between them (named: Rimivar).
BCE 2610: Rimivar wall completed.
BCE 2550: Hcirren emporer, Nanarle establishes a unified city state of Kohtohkhoh-Hcaron composed of DoNolarcoh and Hcirren by way of marriage and due to pressure exerted by the lords underneath him. (Kohtohkhoh being an ancient Hcirren-Raptoric word for 'middle')
The unification is celebrated by cutting a hole in the Rimivar wall which both city states have since grown around.
BCE 2420: First occurances of scholars referring to the local combination of the Hcirren writting system and the Talarine dialect of the Kuho language as the "Kohtohkhan" language.
BCE 1460: Kohtohkhoh-Jouringantden war begins over the border between the two empires.
BCE 1462: Kohtohkhoh is eventually defeated in the battle of Niyland. Kohtohkhan emporer, Plarb II signs a peace agreement with Jouringantden emporer Ciewtdoika which relinquishes dominion over the valley of Rodalaton.
BCE 1400: Iekdato Dynasty begins with Emporer Kachita Iekdato.
BCE 1390: Emporer Iekdato declares his "Six Diktats" into law: establishing among other things: the principle of private property for all citizens and public services."
BCE 1350: Emporer Iekdato's empire absorbs the once-rival city-states of Jouringantden, and Aotugehtal primarily by using cultural influence and economics to undermine or threaten their monarchies into loyalty.
BCE 1330: Emporer Iekdato's empire stretches from the Talarine Isle to all the way across the southern Eledorian penninsula, absorbing the Hneidat Kuho, Cabusoren and Daeral dominions in a much similar manner as he did the others. The expansion of the empire is halted on the island of Kolminaisus which proves to be too culturally different for soft-power to work, and too logistically difficult for military acquisition due to distance.
(Iekdato had forged a non-aggression aggreement with Inteer, likely as a result of a love affair he allegedly had with their ruler, thus he never progressed any further west than Kolminaisus.)
BCE 1200: Kuho-Kohtohkhoh war results in the Hneidat Kuho dominion breaking free from Kohtohkhan rule.
BCE 1190: Hneidat Kuho dominion establishes the Klamath peace treaty with Kohtohkhoh to end remaining fighting.

...

CE 1909: Tajir (Governor) Tynan-Yu Tamarisk elected to office amid conditions of rising poverty and inadequate public services. He quickly makes enormous revisions to the Talarine Constitution and grants full tajiratehood (statehood) to the mainland Eledorian territories.
CE 1911: Tjr. Tynan-Yu establishes a number of public reforms and projects with opposition from the Talarine Senate.
Of the public reforms which became implemented first was a mandate to improve the infrastructure in Hokyldaryon, at the time, the third most populous city in the Tajirates.
CE 1911: Tjr. Tynan-Yu succeeds in a coup to dismiss the Talarine Senate known as "The Refenestration of Norlarcoh" (rather than 'defenestration', since it involved persons climbing through the windows into the capitol building and locking the senate in the chamber until they agreed to Tynan's terms)
CE 1913: Capitol complex is spread out, moving the parliament houses and executive complex to a more historically-significant location in Kohtohkhoh-Hcaron, and moving the new judiciary and several major bureaucracies 10 miles south to Norlarcoh. Tjr. Tynan-Yu envisions an "administrative strip" between them.
CE 1915: Tjr. Tynan-Yu delays construction of the Talarine "administrative strip" due to shortages in supplies and materials due to his other major public projects taking place on the mainland in Hokyldaryon.
CE 1921: Tjr. Tynan-Yu wins his 4th consecutive term by a landslide, election fraud is suspected, but largely ignored due to an overall improvement in standard of living since he took office.
CE 1924: Central Hokyldaryon improvement project enters completion. Tynan-Yu assaults one of his top bureaucrats because they disagreed with him over the time-frame for starting his delayed construction project to build his "administrative strip" in Kohtohkhoh and Norlarcoh.
CE 1925: After a year of delays and public political trouble from his autocratic methods and increasing sovereign debt, Tynan-Yu's "administrative strip" project begins.
CE 1929: At about 60% completion, the "administrative strip" project is halted because the international lending that kept it going comes to a screeching halt in the onset of the global Great Depression.
CE 1929: With the prospect of explosive inflation looming in order to pay sovereign debts, Tynan-Yu issues a new currency backed by what were then, non-precious materials such as Lead, Silicon, Yttrium and Uranium.
CE 1930: Tynan-Yu creates his infamous Apparat of Commerce and Management. Which enacts a number of policies that restricted free-speech, and in particular, reporting.
CE 1932: Tynan-Yu's economic alchemy buys enough time to pay interest on the large soverign debt, however many of the debt-holders began changing the terms of the debts due to their own troubles. Many of them began calling the debts in early, or doubling, sometimes quadrupling the interest rate.
CE 1933: Enraged with the inconsistent policies of the holders of the soverign debt, Tynan-Yu declares that no more payments will be made until the holders of the soverign debt return to their original terms.
CE 1934: Tynan-Yu reaches an agreement with (then separate) nation of Tasea for financing. In return for sovereign loans to complete his projects, Tasea would have an ownership stake in some specific, key projects such as the Ouroboros Center business complex which at the time was slated to be constructed in Dorringantden.
CE 1934: The city of Dorringantden refuses the Ouroboros Center project due to it's foreign ownership caveat. The city of Kohtohkhoh agrees to have the project on the condition that the investors are private. Since no private financing can be found, the project languishes.
CE 1935: Tynan-Yu begins a project to expand the military, on fear that conflict may arise from his policy towards holders of the sovereign debt.
CE 1937: The predominantly Kuho Tajirates (state) of Hokyldaryon and Danaton become the economic powerhouse of the Tajirates due to good policy and primarily because of lack of provincial debt.
CE 1940: Tynan-Yu is asked by one of the major holders of the Tajirates' sovereign debt, Italy, to contribute resources in exchange for expunging the debt. Upon the implementation of the Tripartite Act, Tynan-Yu declined to respond to the request. In fear of invasion, and perhaps more profoundly, human invasion, Tynan-Yu put most of the projects around the country on hold in order for an emergency stepping-up of military capability. This included the arbitrary, government-commandeering of the Hasegawe Motor Works in Dorringantden to build armaments and battle tank systems. According to legend, Tynan-Yu had commissioned Buckminster Fuller as a consultant when the models were designed years earlier.
CE 1941: The Hasegawe Motor Works starts rolling-out Pfuleroy tanks.
CE 1941: Tynan-Yu has extensive diplomatic meetings with several neighbors, and signs a unpublicized, extensive diplomatic agreement with the neighboring mainland country of Dopblaren. (Feral Land of Dopblaren). Shortly after, he signs protection pacts with the neighboring countries of Killer Zoids, The Continental Republic of Dorfan. He attempted multiple times to establish a similar pact with The Kingdom of Inteer, but they declined.
CE 1941: A large amount of mechanical infantry systems enter service in the Tajirate's military, many are sourced from neighboring KZ.
CE 1942: Sudden changes are made to the Federal Constitution regarding free speech and civil rights. And the Kohtohkhoh administrative strip project is cut short in favor of building a planned-city on the mainland and moving the capitol there.
CE 1943: Tynan-Yu Tamarisk resigns after 34 years.
CE 1943: Tynan-Yu's Military expansion stops.
CE 1943: A new Federal constitution is drafted as construction begins on the planned capitol city of Ataronchronon (present-day Zye City). Which is near the current city of Dorigan and an isolated holding claim belonging to Dopblaren called Fort Ellias.
CE 1950: Ataronchronon project completed, soon renamed "Zye City" when the areas of Ataronchronon, Dorigan, Fort Ellias (Dopblaren territory) were declared the constituents of the Zye City Federal District later that year.
CE 1951: "The Miokalia Malych Panic" lasted a few months and occured shortly after months of gradual intergration of Dopblaren's predominant phenotype (Malych) into the rest of the Tajirates following their territory's absorbtion into Miokalia.
CE 1952: 2 Months of debate over species-recognition in the upper-house encounter trouble when Malych SPC Commander Ezekial DoCroos (MBTL: E23K14L-Do.CR005) makes it apparent that Talarine dictator Tynan-Yu had signed a massive agreement which granted the Malych civil rights and implicit citizenship in exchange for use of their resource management systems to shore-up the shortages at the time.
CE 1952: SPC Commander Ezekial is apparently assassinated by an enraged representative some time later. Although after a brief upper-house investigation into his claims, prompted by the sudden deactivation of much of the mechanized infantry systems from the Tynan-Yu era, it was revealed that the claims were correct.
CE 1952: The upper-house declares a truce with the Dopblaren territorial government, which had become increasingly fearful that their political scheme had backfired and they could be facing military retaliation by Miokalia's federal goverment.
CE 1952: Tyrannosaurid Representative Jordan Andertol of Dorringantden makes his historic "Your Entire Family Is Made of Meat and So Is Mine" address to the upper house, imploring them to approve species-recognition for the Malych.
CE 1952: Official recognition of the Malych inorganic phenotypal group is acheived and inserted into the constitution.
CE 1953: First Malych representatives from Dopblaren arrive at the upper and lower houses.
CE 1953: After a period of mostly retaliatory bickering instigated by conservative hardliners, Malych representatives finally push a bill through the upper-house that establishes their territory as a "managed market isolation zone" due to their economic system not mixing well with that of the rest of the country.

-Relations to other nations-

Federation

Kingdoms of Cal:
Good. Extensive trade-driven ties. Some shared values, and frequent scientific cooperation, although some marked differences in political structure and methods.

KZ:
Good. Extensive trade-driven ties. A history of very diplomatic and enlightened border resolution which has made ground-based trade increasingly easier between the two.

Tinis:
Good. Extensive bilaterally-regulated trade (due to Tinis' unique economic system), Long history of very extensive scientific cooperation on The System Equasion theoretical models and several other technological items, including the Geogadiy Project.

Corona Beta VII (off-world contact via DTDC communication method):
Probably Good (It's hard to tell since there's limited routes of communication with them). Communication with them is not a classified secret.

Aatuylva:
Neutral, but improving gradually due to the beginnings of trade ties in argicultural exchange and a few peculiar industries.

Suikudan:
Neutral, since there has been almost no interaction between the governments yet.

Anean Star Empire:
Improving: still some circumstantial distrust due to foreign policy. Improving relations as trust is developed and attempts are made at establishing trade.
Working on developing relations due to the short history of interaction.

Aluez:
Neutral, since there has been extremely little to no interaction thus far.


Miokalia has had some proxy-interations with other non-federation countries, and very few lately. The majority of interactions with non-federation nations were in the past.


*more will be added as things develop*




-Give 3 interesting facts about your nation that gives it character:

- A not-accurately-counted inorganic population which in general keeps to their own area and enforces an extremely strict, rigidly controlled economic isolation between their area and the rest of the country. Their influence over the federal government was implemented subtly and in an initially clandestine manner as a result of a complex situation in the early 20th century. The technology of their anatomy is not widely, thoroughly understood due to their intense isolationism, they share many things in common with some similar creatures to the north in KZ.

- The islands (Tasea, Digasdans) are very weird places and feel like a different country than the rest and often thumb their nose at the Federal government but don't secede because other factors.

- There are several strange practices in public ergonomics and layout which are standard in Miokalia but appear wildly bizzare to those from abroad, this is due to strange manifestations of territorial behavior in almost exclusively the dinosaurian population.

Technological Details
Miokalia is best described as Anachronistic Postmodern. The main technological aesthetic is "Tape-punk" (like Atompunk with computers)
That is: there is juxtaposition of somewhat modern, or older items along with items which are more futuristic.

Various random technologies:

• Flourescent-Catalyzed Slow Fission (or Semicritical Fission)
  A form of nuclear fission which uses smaller elements and different type of reactor which operates at lower levels of criticality.
  This system uses Power Scintillation to more directly convert the charged particles released by the reaction mass into electrical energy, instead of heating water and generating steam. This allows for a much smaller system and vastly lower operating temperatures, as the reaction can generate energy at a lower level of thermonuclear activity.
  
  
• Ammonia dry fuel
  This is the dominate form of automotive fuel in Miokalia. There is substantial infrastructure in place for it and even though petroleum is more efficient by energy density, they've never migrated away from Dry Ammonia because there are no practical reasons to do such. (The anhydrous (solid) form of ammonia is actually combustible in RL.)
  

Technology that uses Haorological pseudophysics

• Telephasing
  The process of using the Doron Tachyonic Duality Cycle to detect photons and their paths at a remote location at substantially faster than the speed of light. However because of the nature of the physics, it is difficult to ascertain the relative location of the data.
  
  
• The Geogadiy Project
  A joint project started between Miokalia and Tinis to develop an FTL drive that utilizes a momentum property of one of the particles involved in the Doronic Tachyonic Duality Cycle.
  There have been a handful of successful terrestrial tests so far, although it is still at a point where it is too dangerous for any manned/furred tests (also terrestrial). At this point, the system does not function in space due to the density of space being too low to form an endpoint of sufficient strength.
  
  
• Haoroaffected Atomic Synthesis
  A methodology for the experimental synthesis of super-heavy elements, using haoroaffective particles (eg: harinos, hariyons, etc...) to enhance the structure of synthetic nuclei by altering their geometry to make them more stable.
  
  
• Haorohysterisis Warhead
  A device which uses an extremely-high energy carruthian field sustained by self-induction for a short time to create conditions which create a "causality bubble" or "causality superposition" that can collapse wormholes and interfere with tachyonic processes.
  Only three such devices have been produced. Two of them detonated. The first being "Philly", detonated aboard a stripped-out ship 500 miles from the island of Folsumar as a Weapons Test. The second, "Jormungantder" was powered by a Suikodanen fusion core and used a Tinisian PDS computer to achieve higher field strength and persistence and was detonated on Onos Mountain near the Pudrian Gate.
  The third, "Hammer of Astroiyka" was started, but never completed.
  
  

Cultural Areas

Miokalia can be divided into 6 cultural 'regions' primarily based on history. These regions are: Old Hneida, Eledorian Peninsula, Tasea-Digasdas, Hcotae-Talarine, Eyla-Barci, Kabhutroh.


Raptoran/Dinosaurid Cultures of the Southern Ocean Region:
The Kohtohkhans, Kuho, and Quien

While the Kuho ethnicity originated from the isle of Emass, modern Kuho language has many similarities to Kohtohkhan (which originated on the isle of Talarine). This is mostly due to the two cultures' extensive interaction through both conflict and coexistence. However, since the ancient Kuho-Kohtohkhan war around 2000 BCE, the Hneidat Kuho (whom lived on the mainland) have spoken in, and write in Kohtohkhan while the Emayie (Emassen Kuho) still speak the Kuho language and use the roman writing system today. The Quien speak a different language which is slightly related to Kuho but not related to Kohtohkhan.
Kohtohkhan was spread throughout the mainland during the Kohtohkhan Empire from 1700 BCE to 800 CE, named after the Talarine Isle city state from which it was ruled. The Empire achieved it's size initially through military force until they were repelled by the Hneidat Kuho. But then at around 1400 BCE, Emporer Kachkita Iekdato attempted a completely different approach to his empire. Iekdato was a prolific philosophical writer. According to legend, he was once a bloodthirsty prince until he watched another, juvenile raptor from another land bleed to death in the aftermath of the invasion of Rodalaton (also on the Talarine Isle).
Apparently Iekdato found this so extremely disturbing that he decided that as a prince, he had to dedicate himself to coming up with a different way to conduct war. As it turned out, Iekdato had no taste for military tactics, but was able to organize a strategy of using luxuries such as spices, linens, dyes, and various inventions such as Sarmatine (A primitive material similar to concrete. Means "Pourable Stone"). They also brought in missionaries to provide education. But these were not gifts of tribute, they were trades. They were purchasing their loyalty.
In return for these amenities and things, the locals would have to declare themselves subjects of the Empire and allow an Imperial Tajirate (governorship) to rule them. The key to Iekdato's plan, and probably the reason why it was at all successful, was that this occupation usually afforded the populations considerably greater freedom than before, as the Kohtohkhans were very liberal for the time. In particular, the Kohtohkhans actually had a legal concepts of private property which was also part of the reason why they were able to amass the resources for these loyalty trades. Once the plan had worked sucessfully in southern Talarine, bards had spread word of it to the people of other kingdoms and caused the feudal lords considerable trouble. Iekdato's 'soft power' approach extended his empire to cover the Hneidat Kuho empire, which shortly later broke off, but retained many of the Iekdatan traditions and liberalism, in addition to the language.
According to writings, Iekdato was fond of the Teerie, a culture that was in the Calie isles on the other side of the mainland. There are some legends that Iekdato (whom it is unclear if he had a mate, or if he had many.) intellectually fell in love with their High Priestess for some time.
There is reason to believe there was some kind of peaceful diplomatic exchange between the two cultures since the Empire stopped at the mainland and didn't attempt to go any further west.
It is likely that the Empire never came into direct conflict with the Quien because the Empire would have considered that to be Teerie lands, and thus left it alone.
The Kohtohkhan Empire ultimately declined due to fragmentation. The remote-dictatorship was unsustainable, and if it wasn't expanded freedoms that the remote Tajirates wanted, then it was soverignty. The Empire broke up into dozens of seperate countries, but left a common language and some traditions which would all drift apart somewhat over time similar to the fall of the Roman Empire in Europe.




Psychosociology

Dinosaurs have a set of behaviors which are mostly involuntary which are collectively known as 'Dagantery'. It is not a condition, but merely a biological thing that they deal with every day. Dagantery is, in essence, the label assigned to a group of key differences in social dynamics between unfamiliar individuals in dinosaurs compared to the majority of other phenotypes.
These include things such as:

• Two unfamiliar dinosaurid individuals walking towards eachother, en route to different places, will 90% of the time, fail to walk around eachother without substantial confusion.
  In situations such as narrow hallways, they may even compulsively punch or shove one an other involuntarily.
  
• Dinosaurids prefer to maintain momentum while they are walking due to physiological reasons having to do with balance.
  The effects and occurances of involuntary fighting become more frequent in environments which do not accommodate this.
  
• Dinosaurids will run into automatic doors which do not operate at a relatively consistent speed.
  
• When Dinosaurids detect the establishment of territory unexpectedly, then they involuntarily and profoundly manifest the awknowledgement of this boundry in limiting their proximity to the individual who made the establishment.
  
• The majority of these interactions only occur when all parties involved are dinosaurian. They are not normally known to occur in mixed-species situations.
  

The profound effect of these on social interactions has resulted in many cultural customs designed to mitigate or prevent spontaneous and involuntary physical conflict. Most of these are manifested in architectural methodologies and the profound role of environmental psychology in everyday life.

Dag-lines
Many hallways and corridors are one-way, as to prevent situations where approaching dinosaurs fail to reconcile their paths and end up involuntarily fighting. Hallways which are bi-directional feature often subtle, suggested 'lanes' of traffic. Dinosaurs then refer to these lanes and then pass by eachother without complications.
It seems silly, but to dinosaurs, this is a huge deal.

Dag-ramps
These are small alcoves with ramps in them are sometimes used near intersections in hallways so that dinosaurs can divert themselves up and then down the ramp for a second or two instead of stopping. This is to satisfy their need to preserve momentum for balance. These also mitigate situations where other dagantery-mitigation features of a space are compromised, by providing extra room to resolve the situation before claws get brandished.

Dedicated Entry and Exit
Places like large grocery stores have entry and exit ways which are partitioned with 'fast' and 'slow' sides. This is an odd feature which is implemented to prevent dinosaurs from running into eachother as they enter the store differently. In an unregulated scenario, dinosaurs might inadvertantly pile up behind someone they would feel rude about passing. If the individual at the front of this line then switched direction: involuntary fighting among everyone behind them, but not the first in line who switched direction, can occur. This phenomena, observed only in Dinosaurs and Dorfanese Canids, is known as "Famstacking".


The biological/physiological theory behind Dagantery
Biologists believe that Dagantery is a defect associated with the direction which evolution took with dinosaurid phenotypes. However, it is not clear how much of it is actually cultural, rather than genetic.
The defect is believed to be the result of the changes in the way that areas of the dinosaurian brain functioned over time. One theory suggests that in order to maintain territory, the species began to evolve in the direction of tool-use, devising things and analysis, at the cost of functions of the brain which were least useful in the changing environment. Some of these functions may have been animalistic social details, and thus why there seem to be gaping "holes" in their ability to resolve some basic things (such as finding paths around eachother in hallways, etc...)
It is known that the area of the dinosaurian brain associated with interpersonal dynamics is only 1/4th the size of the average of mammalian equivalents. However, a species-wide tendency towards Obscessiveness may be the reason why they developed these Dagentary mitigation strategies rather than decending into total social breakdown and survivalist anarchy.
There are two main areas of the dinosaurian brain which are drastically smaller than mammalian equivalents, the first being linked to evolution and resulting in the aforementioned reduced social dynamic resolution capacity with others of the same species.
The second being linked to the Silent Plague which struck the Talarine Isle between 1800 and 1400 BCE.
Physiologically, the plague effected hatchlings and was evidenced by enlargement and overdevelopment of the limbic cortex. The affliction manifested itself in behavior. As those afflicted were usually driven to compulsive suicidal tendencies due to the imbalances caused by the condition. Resistance to limbic overdevelopment became the norm in the gene pool as a result, and thus modern dinosaurids have a more diminished limbic cortex.


Dagentary and the Dorfanese
The Dorfanese, who are Canines, but share some cultural details with Talarine-Eledorian dinosaurids, exhibit some Dagantery behaviors, although much less profoundly. It is not known if this is genetic or cultural in origin.




Your government's stance on...
Republic: Efficient, but flawed
Monarchy: Usually flawed, but occasionally capable of getting a lot done
Federalism: Yes because a constitution should be enforced uniformly across the land
Anarchy: Is either the result of a failed government, or the ultimate evolution of a government.
Fascism: No. The ends will never amortize the cost of the means.
Marxism: An important body of philosophy in the evolution of modern policy and a technocratic state. But by itself, incomplete.
Stalinism: Is just paranoid fascism.
Democracy: An important body of philosophy which contains ideas that can be pivotal to the advancement of civilization, but like Marxism, is itself, a very incomplete system.
Dictatorship: Is a double-edged sword: and can cause unspeakable horror when done wrong, OR is capable of stability and sensibility which democracy cannot consistently maintain or defend.
Apartheid: A terrible form of feudalism and a product of ignorant ideology.
Environment: Should be protected in a purely scientific manner as well as taking into account social and economic aspects. There is a solution to every environmental problem through science.
Races: Race is merely a form of identity and simply another way which each person differs from the next. A form of diversity which should be allowed to enrich culture.
Imperialism: Can be used for good or evil. Often ends up becoming evil.
Free speech: Is of paramount importance and without it, the ongoing dialogue of culture comes to an end. Free Speech keeps a culture alive, evolving, and relevant.
Economy: An economy should take into consideration more than one single economic ideology.


Is it legal? (Yes/No)
Alcohol: Yes.
Cannabis: Yes. (for some weird reason).
Tobacco: Yes.
Drugs: Regulated by the government.
Gambling: Most forms are ok. However there are some odd and unusual forms that are banned.
Porn: 100% Legal, specifically protected by the constitution.
Prostitution: Some forms yes, Regulated by the Government.
Slavery: NO
Gay marriage: Yes and specifically protected by the constitution.
Hate speech: Yes, but it is discouraged.


Other questions:
What is your nation's mains source of energy? Nuclear Power (Fission), Geothermal Power.
Does your government use surveillance cameras? Yes, it is required by law to have surveillance cameras at every commercial store-front due to safety. Any other application of surveillance cameras is not-advertised.
What is your nation's economy system? Technocratically-managed Economic Dualism (Where a socialist system exists along side private systems. Market economics play a minor role in some areas but the main form of regulation is based on the principle of Thermodynamic Economics)
Does your nation have a system of social welfare? Yes, but it is minimalist and takes a vertically-integrated approach to minimize abuse.
Is there a free healthcare? Yes.
Would you invade other nation only because of it's ideology? No.

as the possible origin of the Malych inorganic species and as a curiosity which the Federation has had limited communication with, but no physical travel between the Federation and CB-VII has occured yet in the modern era.

(Note: The Malych were not sent to colonize, but actually for a different reason which was based on an assumption made by them which turned out not to be true. They remained because there was no way to get back.)


Probable origin of the Malych
Thousands of years ago, the planet was occupied by an organic civilization which developed some space-faring capability. As their red dwarf star began to emmit more and more high-frequency output and less visible-light output, the planet began to be bombarded by increasingly intense radiation which may have at least been the tipping point in this civilization's decline and extinction. The self-supporting machines they had developed however, continued on after their extinction and eventually evolved into the Malych Zoological Android species.
The Malych had become aware of the space activities of the previous civilization. And they were also aware that the previous civilization was very war-like and brutal. The Malych determined that they had to neutralize (by ideological conversion or armed conflict) any pockets of this civilization which still existed. At the time, they thought that Earth had probably been colonized by this civilization. So they sent a probe to see if it matched the kind of environment that the ancient civilization existed in. 15 years later, the probe arrived and confirmed these details which the Malych did not know were common attributes of life-supporting planets, and assumed that it was evident of the only organic life they knew of.
So they sent an expedition to the planet, using a solar sail type of ship, based on the ships used by the previous civilization. 30 years later the ship completed it's journey, Using the sun to decelerate the ship as it entered the solar system and eventually completing it's intended crash-landing on Earth.
The mission was intended to be one-way, as they did not know of any way to build a reusable space craft, and merely got lucky that they had access to some of the technical knowledge of the ancient civilization.
Upon their arrival, (estimated to be circa 1800-1830 C.E. They don't actually know for sure), the Malych expedition discovered that their planet's ancient civilization had not in fact colonized Earth, nor was there any evidence that they had ever been there. With no way to return home, the expedition had to establish a homestead in the central Eledorian desert in present-day Miokalia.



The Federation Establishes Contact with CB-VII
While Miokalian scientists were conducting early experiments involving the use of an array of interferometers and exotic particles to detect various attributes of stellar objects remotely (telephasing) in the 1950's, they attempted to see if the system could detect anything within 1-3 lightyears, initially as a baseline to identify the output which signifies no data, since at the time, it was assumed that that range was composed only of the empty interstellar medium.
Instead, they detected a small, dim star which was later identified as a brown dwarf, and a planet with complex attributes.
Because telephasing utilizes a kind of Tacheyonic Duality Cycle, it allows for a limited amount of photon information to be detected rather quickly over long distances.
Early telephasing also had a tendency to cause a very noticible and profound effect on the other end. As it would create small 'clouds' that would profoundly attenuate photons (like shaded dots in mid air). These 'clouds' would be arranged in massive, geometric, fractal-like patterns. It is this effect which caused the Malych on CB-VII to try to interact with these strange anomalies. And in experimenting to see what these things were, ended up effectively transmitting feedback to the other end. Once both sides realized that they were communicating with something they began to try to develop a basic numerical language. By this point, this communication had become an international, Federation project.
No physical travel between CB-VII and the Federation has occured yet in the modern era (excluding the presumed one-way arrival of the Malych), and communication is still limited given that each cycle can only convey a 20 x 20 grid where each cell can contain only 1 binary state. And manifesting the input data into the cycles is limited in speed since it must be physically manifested by imparting photons onto the actual 'cloud' pattern' to transmit.



The Corona Beta System

Corona Beta is an (entirely fictitious) sub-red-dwarf star 2 lightyears away. Orbiting it are several sub-pluto-sized planetoids and 3 rocky planets (II, V, VII).

Due to the age and stage of the star, it produces a very large amount of x-rays and coronal ejections of higher mass elements and particles.

Corona Beta II is an uninhabitable planet which is within the dust cloud of the smoldering sub-red-dwarf.

Corona Beta V is a desert planet which is uninhabitable due to background radiation.

Corona Beta VII is semihabitable due to a thicker atmosphere (due to it's distance from the star), it has a very thick ionosphere which absorbs much of the x-ray emissions of the star that make the other two planets less habitable. CB VII has two moons, one of which is also semihabitable and contains a very large amount of water, salts and bismuth, although due to it's atmosphere and it's tidal-lock, it is substantially colder than CB VII.

The premalych civilization was present on CB V, CB VII and it's moon L-Sat-B. But has since ceased to exist.
