Remodelling/Rehashing In Progress
There may be some descrepencies in various areas until I've finished. And this is going to take a while
In the meantime, here is the old description.
Old description is old.
The Postdemocratic Adhocracy of Miokalia
Federation Status: Member
Government: Republic with Socialist Leanings Regulated by Constitutional Technocratic Quasimonarchy.
Species (More detail further down): 42% T-Rexes, Allosaurs, Raptors; 4% Dragons (various); 30% Malych (Inorganic/Mechanical reptiles, some mammals); 10% Feline (Mixed, some of Calie Leefen ethnicity); 8% Canine (Mixed); 3% Other Mammals (including humans); 3% Other Reptiles.
Civil Rights Standard: Extremely Socially Libertarian, almost as much as Kingdoms of Cal for most things.
+ Homosexual marriage is constitutionally protected
+ Marriage is defined as being: Between any two entities. (By entities: literally any species, any gender, any thing. Anything)
+ Death Penalty is Forbidden by Law
+ Pot is Legal. Drug laws are few and simple, enforcement is specific.
+ Free Speech is of paramount importance and protected by a whole lot of stuff.
+ Censorship is illegal, many laws are in place which extend this beyond the government and apply to the private sector as well in some cases.
Official Language(s): Kohtohkhan, Nimiyapo (in some areas)
Other Languages: Kuho, French (Primarily by French-Kuho Raptors), Many other languages from neighboring countries.
Leadership:
President: Halderyyt Phong (Malych Raptor)
Sec of State*: Hiyke Andertol (Allosaurus)
*(due to peculiar political tradition here, the position of 'secretary of state' is equivalent to that of Prime Minister, and the position of 'secretary of interior' is equivalent to 'secretary of state')
Sec of Interior: Tycho Nadara (Raptor)
Sec of Defence: Gladarus Zagckza (Malych Dragon)
Sec of Foreign Affairs: Kimi Pickford (Cavy (Rodent))
Supreme Protectorate Cmdr: Qualt Juliya (Malych Dragon/Integrant Zoid - R045 model)
Sec of Education: Cabagape Strulot (T-Rex)
Sec of Agriculture: Zeezy Eiclara (Raptor)
Sec of Commerce: Sky Doyovak (Allosaurus)
Aptr. of Justice Apparat: Eric Eckles (Malych T-Rex)
Sec of Transportation: Marf Homboltz (Fox)
Aptr. of Health and Public Welfare: K.G. Nebel (Raptor)
Political Parties: Several. Three main coalitions:
-Biszlocsun Party
-Military Coalition
-Socialists
Population: 205 Million
Detailed Specio-Ethnic Composition:
46% Dinosaurian Theropods / Dragons
=60% Raptors (Kuho and Kohtohkhan Ethnicities)
=30% Allosaurs/T-Rexes (Nearly all Kohtohkhan Ethnicity)
=10% Dragons (Daeronese Ethnicity, Few Eylan Ethnicity)
30% Malych (mechanical dinosaurs and dragons. Also a few of mammalian shape)
=90% Native Malych Demographic Groups
=10% Integrant Malych Demographic Groups
10% Feline
=85% Nimiyapo Ethnicity
=10% Pumas (Leefen Ethnicity)
=5% Other cats
8% Canine
=55% Kazian Ethnicities
-(by declared species: 45% foxes, 55% wolves)
=10% Calie Ethnicities
-(by declared species: 25% foxes, 35% wolves)
=35% Other
3% Other Reptiles
3% Other Mammals / Humans
Languages: The official language is Kohtohkhan.
(~72% of the population is ethnically native speaking.)
Nimiyapo, a sino-feline language is considered to be a secondary official language and a regional official language in some areas.
The majority of canine and non-Nimiyapo feline ethnicities speak either Nimiyapo or Kohtohkhan. Multilingualism is extremely commonplace in areas where there are concentrations of mixed ethnic groups.
Literacy: 100% 15 years of public education is compulsory.
Technocratic Departmental Structure
The departments of the government are broken into three groups:
Apparats, Automatas and Adhocois.
Basically, these three equate to Departments, Bureaus and Agencies, respectively.
An Apparat is a department which is centrally regulated and controlled by an inorganic intelligence (and sometimes shares control with an organic) at the highest, as well as usually lower levels.
Similarly, an Automata is usually a sub-component of an Apparat, Automatas are bureaucratic entities beneath Apparats which are centrally controlled by an inorganic intelligence.
Adhocois are technocratic entities which are usually controlled by organic intelligence. A Technocratic Adhoc is an organization which is very specialized for a specific task and is run by a collection of experts. Of particular note is that unlike the hierarchial system of a bureaucracy, the adhoc makes decisions based on a consensus of experts, rather than the decision of a single individual who is advised by subordinate experts. Thus, Adhocois are typically small components beneath Apparats, because of their inherent specialization.

Sociological Stuff
Religions: 75% No Particular Religion / Atheism, 15% Miscellaneus Polytheistic, Animistic, Naturalistic Religions (Pagan, Wicca, etc...) 5% Pastafarianism, 5% Various organized religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam)
Most of the followers of the last category are of the human constituency. Most Dinosaurians and Malych consider themselves Atheist while some Draconids practice religions in the miscellaneus category. The mammalian Fur population is a mix of all of these, with no generally identifiable tendedncy toward any particular category.
Most of Miokalia's population (85%) resides in the three major metro areas: Zye City, Hokyldaryon, Holyoke and Tirzah.
Largest Cities:
Zye City: 12,200,000
Hokyldaryon: 8,800,000
Dorigan (Zye Metro): 5,800,000
South Zye City (Zye Metro): 900,000
Tirzah: 2,400,000
Holyoke: 850,000
Centroid (Zye Metro): 400,000
New Decatur (Hokyldaryon Metro): 380,000
Atrias (North Territory): 420,000
Rohomeo (North Territory): 612,000
Daharao (North Territory): 300,000
Other
Executive Branch: elected by direct democratic election.
Judicial Branch: elected by direct democratic election. Can veto most senate resolutions except in the case of Popular Appeal.
Legislative Branch: Divided into three houses
Upper Senate: Senators elected by direct democratic election, the only house empowered to declare war, resolutions can be vetoed by Executive or by Popular Appeal.
Lower Senate: Senators elected by direct democratic election, resolutions are restricted to internal affairs. Resolutions can be vetoed by Popular Appeal
Parliament: Representatives are elected by direct democratic election. Empowered to make resolutions concerning anything, domestic or foreign. Resolutions can be vetoed by Popular Appeal.
Popular Appeal is a mechanism for checking and balancing the government in the event that all aspects of the government are controlled by a single party. It allows the people to call a resolution or election into question by a popular vote of 45%. The resolution will then be voted on by direct democratic election. It is possible to pass a resolution that has been vetoed by a government body if the popular appeal vote passes it.
Economics
Primary Industries: Automated Manufacturing, Information Technology Services, Arms Manufacturing, Specialized Research, Energy Production, Media Development, Conceptual Brokering.
Energy Sources: 78% Artificial Geothermal, 18% Wind/Solar, 4% Nuclear
Major Exporting Companies: General Xenotek (Heavy automated equipment), Revel Motor Company (microcars, scooters and engine equipment resale), L.C.A. (Metrics and specialized scientific equipment), Tdarasouth (Leasee of Nitrogen-based energy plants and operator of tankers), Cyuut (Department retail, generics), Doriytsu (Audio visual equipment, Sound processing equipment), Hasegawe of Miokalia (Cars, vans, scooters).
Agricultural Economy: Is shifting very quickly towards the use of urban "Vertical Farms" as a solution to isolating the costs of agriculture from the costs of energy and the effects of environmental problems. Genetically modified foods are commonplace, especially from traditional 'flat' farms where the use of pesticides and countermeasures is basically a necessity. Because of the heightened environmental controls of vertical farming, production of non-gmo food in that format is more cost-effective and practical.
Major Agricultural Exports: Rice (Botan), Soy, Rye, Hemp, Olive Oil
TV's per household: 1.508
Telephones (land-line): 115 million
Cellular Phones: 188 million
Computers: 194 million (modern) home computers.
(It's estimated that there are almost twice as many older computers lying around in basements, attics and store-rooms around the country)
Internet Connectivity: Free-range Wireless public internet is commonly provided by private individuals or municipalities, or combinations thereof, Ethernet sockets are installed as a standard along with phone lines and electricity in all buildings.
There may be some descrepencies in various areas until I've finished. And this is going to take a while
In the meantime, here is the old description.
