[This is easily becoming a work in progress. After I fully tap down the government, I'll work on military, then followed history. After that, it should be done. Oh! I'll go and create]

Long name: The Democratic States of Lemuriania
Short name: Lemuriania, DSL
Type of Government: (Somewhat) Libertarian Democracy
Climate: Mostly Tropical with large mountains. Beyond the moutains lies desert.
Population: 210,000,000 (as of last census)
Speices: Lemurs are the primary people (75%; 157,500,000 Million), with desert and tropical lizards occupying a sizible minority (20%; 42,000,000) and most other anthros acting as the 'smaller' minority (5%; 10,500,000). Humans aren't counted in the census [as of April 13, 2005].

Languages (Some information OOC):
Humans and the "Human Accords": They have an interesting place in Lemuriania's government. With the Orthadox Mesesejians fighting to oppress the human population (lasted numbers suggested that 2 million to 5 million humans lived in Lemuriania) while the Rellep-Mesesejians want to free them. This struggle has lead to various civil wars and political stand offs within the Nation. What rose from those ashes of conflict is the Human Accords. The rules go as followed:
Of course, these Accords make people nervious on either side of the fence. On one hand, they have just enough freedom to try and kick the Orthadox Mesesejians out of power but still not enough power in the eyes of the Rellep-Mesesejians. A third, more secular group suggested that the human population be allowed some land on the Furry continent and have their own seperate nation. Neither of the side have developed a clear view on this.

Sociology[/b][/i]
Religions:
- Mesesejism: The Lemur populus was controlled by a vindictive human God called Zhen'Deg Fe Se. Zhen'Deg would sit on top of his floating platform, forcing the Lemurs to do her bidding while she payed special attention to the humans. Any lemur that would rebel would either be harmed or killed with her magic. Then one day, one lemur named Zhen'Mseneeretebel resisted. He was nearly killed, but somehow with stood the magic of Zhen'Deg Fe Se. He turned on the God and killed him dead. He then proclaimed that everyone should always be free, except humans ... which should never be fully trusted. Soon, the Kingdom of Lemurstan was established. While the people wanted to crown him King, he refused but appointed the new king. The government was established but soon the King became corrupt and oppressed his own people. An upset Zhen'Mseneeretebel struck down the King with the back of the kings own septure, killing him. He then suggested that an appointed oligargy should lead the people. They to, oppressed the people. Zhen'Mseneeretebel sighed and stated that perhaps all people was corrupt by nature and created a set of rules for the Lemurs to follow (lt's debating on whether he allowed humans to be free as well or still opressed). He then stated that "Until all people followed these rules, no one could truely be free. I will only return when our country is free." Ever since, Mesesejians have been trying to envoke his return through a Libertarian government. Orthadox Mesesejians (majority) want to keep the humans oppressed while the Rellep-Mesesejians (minority) want them to be free as everyone else.
- Syypygynysm: Mainly the religion of Lemuriania's reptilian population (though some Lemurs participate), Syypygynysm is be believe in three supreme beings. One of the Mind, one of the Body and one of the Soul. Theses "gods" are of everyone and of the individual. The average Syypygynysmite must learn to excel in one of theses in his life time in order to reach heaven. Of course, the monks realize that no one person can be the greatest and that's why most temples have 'Try until you die' etched into the walls and whispered on the lips of the followers.
- There is other religions as well, but most are too small to be noted.
Languages (Some information OOC):
- Lemurian: Basically English, but backwards and all vowels are replaced with the long E. "Good Day, my friendly furs!" becomes "Sref Yldneerf Em Yed Deeg!" Titles are attached to names. Zhen is basically male, Phen is female, Quhen is "gender undeterminible". Examples include Zhen'George Lucas, Phen'Nicole Kidman and Quhen'Janet Reno. Doctors and military have special prefixes added to their last name. Ced for Doctor and Reerew for a military man [This war one hasn't been used and probably won't be].. Examples of this include Zhen'Dookie Ced'Hosser and General Zhen'George S. Reerew'Patton (rank is still kept before the first name until retired, then it's just the last name). [For convenience sake, if you want to call them Mr, Mrs, Dr w/o the stuff, you may.] Lemurian is the official language of the government and spoken by most as the native tounge.
- Syyroptylyyns: Again, English. The words remain forward, but all nouns start with "Syy". (if there's a plural noun, the s is added onto with an "os").. After which, the vowels are broke up and replaced with either 'o' or 'y' (both short and long form). A=Y E=O I=Y O=O U=Y Y=O or Y. "Excuse me, but could you pass the pizza snacks?" becomes "Oxcyso syymos, bot coyld syyooy pyss tho syypyzzys syynycksos?" All names, regardless of gender, is added onto with a 'Noy' at the end of the first name. So, Samuel L. Jackson becomes "Samuel'Noy L. Jackson"
Humans and the "Human Accords": They have an interesting place in Lemuriania's government. With the Orthadox Mesesejians fighting to oppress the human population (lasted numbers suggested that 2 million to 5 million humans lived in Lemuriania) while the Rellep-Mesesejians want to free them. This struggle has lead to various civil wars and political stand offs within the Nation. What rose from those ashes of conflict is the Human Accords. The rules go as followed:
- Humans are payed for the work they do, but don't apply for min. wage.
- Humans can vote, but it only counts as 1/5 of a vote.
- Humans cannot hold poltical.
- Humans serve in the military as long as they have no access to weapons.
- No more than 20 humans are allowed to gather in a single spot yet they still can protest but only between the hours of 1-3 pm and 1 mile away from any government building.
- Humans cannot adopt furry/scalie children, but furries/scalies can.
- Humans aren't allowed to drive cars but are allowed to take public transportation.
- Humans can live anywhere they desire but their house must always be mark as 'human'.
- Humans aren't allowed to operate or own firearms.
- Humans are allowed to prosue higher education, but only on their own dime.
Of course, these Accords make people nervious on either side of the fence. On one hand, they have just enough freedom to try and kick the Orthadox Mesesejians out of power but still not enough power in the eyes of the Rellep-Mesesejians. A third, more secular group suggested that the human population be allowed some land on the Furry continent and have their own seperate nation. Neither of the side have developed a clear view on this.
