The Commonwealth of Nephtali
The Commonwealth
The Commonwealth of Nephtali is located in southeastern Sisgardia. It's lands are predominately vast tropical rainforests with some plains and temperate areas in the far west and northwest. There are only a few main cities, and these are located among the central waterway and string together to form a megacity.
Nephtali architecture is most readily comparable to Aztec/Mayan, of course with all the futuristic amenities and structural support needed. Buildings are most often created with monolithic stone blocks. The Grand Waterway is quite a site, lined with giant Aztec-style buildings that continue on for hundreds of miles.
Government
The Commonwealth is a Capitalist Paradise. Domestic matters are handled by an elected Senate, while foreign policies are handled by an elected Chancellor. Corporations often exercise extreme political power. This is countered by laws which only allow citizens unaffiliated with the corporations to run for office. Possibly the only thing saving the Commonwealth from itself is the extreme nationalism of its people.
Military
The Commonwealth Military Contract is a collection of government contracted private companies which defend the nation. There are 2 main fleet. One protects Commonwealth assets in Sol. The other explores and acts as a trade fleet. The commonwealth specializes in non-lethal weaponry. This ranges from large-scale energy dampeners to small arms to stun or otherwise incapacitate opponents. All Commonwealth soldiers are Axa. All ship and fleet commanders are Nephtali.
General Labor Inc. is a Private Military Contractor (PMC) responsible for the Commonwealth's Axa soldiers. Oleander Drive Yards is another PMC which provides ships for the Commonwealth's Fleets.
Population
The Nephtali
Plant-based beings. They appear human with elongated fingers, however their internal biology is vastly differant. They drink water like a human, absorb nutrients through their skin, and turn green to photosynthesize. Nephtali Children shed their "skin" once a year (much like a snake), until they are full grown.
The Axa
Reptilian humanoids bred as a servant race. Axa stand about 5'6" but are stronger than the average human. They fill any role thier Nephtali masters assign them and have been genetically encoded to be loyal to the Commonwealth.
Population Breakdown:
29% Nephtali
70% Axa
1% Other
Industry & the Slave-Trade
the commonwealth is renowned for its slave-trade. Most companies sell genetically engineered slaves of various kinds, however there is a darker side to the slave trade which includes preying on transport ships for new DNA and/or unengineered slaves. The Nephtali are accomplished geneticists, and have created their own servant species, the fanatically loyal Axa.
Some of Nephtali's largest corporations are:
General Labor Inc. (PMC)
Oleander Drive Yards (PMC)
Commonwealth Transit
Tech Level
The Commonwealth of Nephtali can be described as a mix between Future and Post-Modern Tech. Space-travel and Genetic Engineering are future-tech. However, most everything else is post-modern.
