Name of nation: The Glorious State of Xianto
Species: The people of Xianto are an intelligent,Multi-Ethnic, Insect-Humanoid species. Males average at 6'3 and females at 5'11. Though both species are not the best physically, males tend to be stronger while females faster. Both genders are physically inferior to, say, your average human; though their brain power is incredible, some have even unlocked the power of telepathy. Reproduction is done through tentacles connected to each gender's reproductive organs. Xiantians live to be on average 132 human years, like humans, Xiantians appearance and physical attributes change with age.
Description of government: Xianto is ruled by a council of four Xiantians, three supreme advisers and one Overseer. Each Supreme adviser comes from a different branch of government. Military, Politics, Diplomacy. The Overseer chooses their successor, while the supreme advisers are chosen by the people. It is upon the Overseer to choose a worthy successor, though there have been occasions where the successor is anything but worthy.
Xianto is divided into 42 districts, each district with an estimated 102 cities,189 towns, and 77 villages. These districts are governed by Presidents, respected Xianthians that have lived and worked for the better of that district their entire lives. Some presidents make it to Supreme Adviser level. Few make it to Overseer. Though the home government of Xianto is very rewarding and forgiving to it's citizens, off-world governments supervised by the Controller Brigade, are not.
Description of military: The Xiantian military is very...unique. You have the Planetary Guard, the planet's army, and then you have...The Controller Brigade. The Planetary Guard is the planet's defense force, if Xianto were to ever get invaded, these are the Xiantians that would be deployed. The Planetary Guard is divided into 3 major divisions: Army, Navy, and Space Command. From each of these divisions are several Special Operations sub-divisions. The Planetary Guard's discipline and uniform are steeped in Xiantian culture. Strict and precise, The Planetary Guard is trained for the absolute worse scenarios, equipped with the finest gear Xianto has to offer.
The Controller Brigade is Xianto's off-world force and makes up the bulk of Xianto's military power. The Controller Brigade is made up of two divisions: Military and Administration. The Controller Brigade's main fighting force is the people of the planet they invade. Military deploys armies to take over the majority of the civilization, using brutal and ruthless methods to keep the inhabitants in line. The Administration then establishes a singular empire on the planet, claiming it for Xianto. Various methods of manipulation, fear, and intimidation have been used to build up the armies and keep the populations in check. Though it's armies are made up of foreigners, few foreigners have actually reached High Command status among high ranking Xiantians.
Technological Overview: Xianto heavily utilizes Dark Matter in their ships, weapons, and equipment. The invention of a Dark Matter Processor boosted Xianto out of an industrial age and into a glorious space age, enabling them to construct ships that can travel over thousands of light years, build weapons that are powerful, and utilize it to boost production and power equipment. Of course as Dark Matter goes, using it can be very dangerous. There have been several instances when a machine blows a fuse and destroys half a district, or a weapon overheats and melts in the user's hand. But over the years the Xiantians have learned to keep it's wild and unpredictable power under control, using it to help strong-willed Xiantians brain wash loyal foreign soldiers or power transportation for years. Though dangerous and unstable, Dark Matter is Xianto's light from the industrial ages.
Cultural Overview: Gender roles in Xianto are fairly equal, although many do consider males more capable than females. The thoughts of society are "Do whatever you want, as long as it is for the good of Xianto." Joining the military is considered a noble and honorable profession, though aspiring to become a scholar or dedicating your life to help manage Xianto are considered the best of the best. Xianto has very extreme sporting events, those winning (or indeed even surviving) Are brought much fame and admiration from the public and even get to spend a week with The Overseer in some cases. In off-world locations, it is stressed that if you are loyal to Xianto, Xianto will be loyal to you. Adults of both genders are encouraged to work for the good of Xianto or enlist. Many are drafted for The Armies of the Controller Brigade. The better a location behaves, the better they will be treated. If a location constantly defies Xianto and causes havoc, they will be punished severely.
History: The first inhabitants of the planet of Xianto formed small countries, warring over territory and resources for some time, finally, after years and years of war, they signed a treaty to unite their countries and form the origins of the Glorious State of Xianto. Generations pass, and Xianto fights other countries and tribes and armies until finally the whole planet is united as The Glorious State of Xianto.
Other:Inhabited and controlled planets.
