The Sovreign Island Nation of Cienti is a nation with a long history, residing in the southern Pacific Ocean. Though its earthly sphere of influence extends little more than a few miles beond its shores, it is well known throughout sector 299:792:458 as a creator of quality interstellar transport systems. The governmental system, dealt with below, is a unique brand of Democratic Republic and constitutional oligarchy. Cienti is totally withdrawn in world politics, keeping an isolationist stance against the nations of the Earth, who are not yet aware of the existence of Cienti.
Contents
History
Early History
Founded in 8390BCE (CY00000) by Atlantian refugees, The Sovreign Island Nation of Cienti has one of the longest recorded histories in this star custer. Upon the founding of the capital city of Celestis, the island underwent a transformation with Atlantian technology, namely being the employment of a weather control system, as well as the generation of a spatial distortion field that allows Cienti to be hidden from curious eyes.
Formation of government and cultural stagnation
By the time the major cities were built (CY00250~8140BCE) the first formal government was established reflecting the values of the individual, and the will of the majority. It was ruled by a learned council (known as the first council of Cienti) of academics, nobiliy-statesmen, and spiritual leaders; all of whom were elected by the citizens. For a long time, Cienti prospered, never having to worry about any enemies; never really having to worry about anything. Without any impetus to drive them forward, innovation slowed to a standstill, and the knowledge that they worked so hard to acquire lay unused in the libraries of the time. So, Cienti regressed technologically for centuries until a natural disaster shook them of their complacency.
The Great Ocean Earthquake
At about (CY05250~3140BCE) there was a great earthquake that rippled through the western ocean and shook cienti to its core. Many systems were damaged, some were destroyed. This earthquake caused a massive tidal wave killing thousands, who would've been protected if the spatial distortion field generator wasn't rendered inoperably by the preceeding earthquake. In a massive panic, citizens blamed the council for failing to be prepared for such events, and they overthrew it headed by the rebel nobility-statesman Lady Raphine vos Cienti, descended from the nobility-statesmen on the First council of Cienti centuries before.
The Golden Age of Cienti
Under the wise and steady hand of Lady Raphine, most of Cienti was slowly rebuilt, but it became clear ot her that Cienti had lost it's way; no one could understand how the "technology of the ancestors" worked, and without such knowledge, they would be vulnerable to other disasters. It was at (CY05253~3137BCE) that she issued a proclimation known henceforth as "The Directive of Meriocracy"
Current Events
Cienti is currently working on a SHQII transport system for the Galateans of Aldeberon Prime.
Government
Military
Religion
Most Cientians follow a form of natural philosophy...
Creation
In the beginning there was nothing. The Universe had perfect symmetry on all counts and zero entropy, but this was not to remain. The Godmachine filled the Universe with all its energy, and this ttrew the balanced Universe into flux. Space itself began to undulate; only a little at first, but the distorions became larger, and larger still until the symmetries began to crack. Then, Boom!, the first symmetry broke, and there were particles filling this suddenly rapidly expanding universe.
Culture
Economy
The national industry in the Sovreign Island Nation of Cienti is interstellar transportation.
