The nation of Xanthal was founded on Earth in 1960 by the country's figurehead and national hero Ezekiel Zabertini on the values of freedom, equality, and justice. Executing a mass move of the government and population to the Aellis System, which was completed in 2150, Xanthal prospered until the Humankind Empire Abh seized control of the government and moved the Xanthalian home system to their own galaxy in 2603. The seat of Xanthalian power gone, the two remaining Xanthalian star systems, Mirfak and Than, descended into chaos. It wasn’t until the mid thirtieth century that these two systems and Trasnia, another former Xanthalian system that had declared its independence before the Aellis System’s disappearance, reunified under the common name of Xanthal.

Territory

Xanthal's borders do not directly contact those of any other nation, but its territory is near many established galactic sectors. Mirfak, Than, and Trasnia are spatially contiguous, but Xanthal claims only individual systems, not the space between them. Besides its three capital stars, Xanthal lays claim to four resource systems.

Government

Xanthalian Constitution.

Xanthal is a republic, with a traditional three-branch government. The executive power is vested in three Alphini, the legislative power in five hundred Councilors, and the judicial power in the nine-member panel of the Daiho.

Alphini

In order of seniority:

• Yătzĭl Ämsi (PBB)
• Eko Oeşe (PVZ)
• Tşärls Lorĕns (PPL)

Council

Members by political party:

• Pepötälos Varäpötälosäl Zănŧäläl [Xanthalian Socialist Party] : 117 seats
• Pepötälos Zilo Länyö Yĕnĕkäl [Private Interest Party] : 116 seats
• Pepötälos Ĭntrnăşonäl [Party Internationale] : 83 seats
• Pepötälos Varäleötkos Länyöerĕgäl [Democratic Capitalist Party] : 43 seats
• Pepötälos Bögä Bĕsfräl [Domestic Defense Party] : 37 seats
• Pepötälos Pötälos Länbĕsfräl [Nationalist Collectivization Party] : 34 seats
• Länleötkosäle [Independents] : 70 seats

Ministries

Xanthal's national administrative Ministries are overseen by the Daiho. These Ministries, entrusted with the everyday domestic operation of the Xanthalian government, are listed below:

• Ministry of Development
• Ministry of Economics
• Ministry of Education
• Ministry of Health and Safety
• Ministry of Information
• Ministry of Research and Science
• Ministry of Security
• Ministry of Social Affairs
• Ministry of Transportation

Law and order

Xanthalian territory is policed by the Kusakal Gimesi Bule (National Security Agency), which operates under the Ministry of Security. The KGB is very well funded, and its agents operate across Xanthal. They are employed by the Daiho and funded by the Council. The nation’s justice system focuses on rehabilitating criminals, but those that cannot be rehabilitated are usually executed. Xanthalian legal code supports diplomatic immunity for minor crimes.

People

By species

• 32% human
• 22% xanthalian
• 17% than
• 2% mon calamari
• 1% elf
• 1% neko
• 1% xindi-avian
• 24% other (composing less than 1% of the total population)

By religion

• 51% agnostic
• 26% religious
• 23% athiest

Literacy and language

Literacy rate: 81%

Official language: Merfăkan [Mirfakan].

Other common languages: ְֱֲֳַֻׁׁ [Than], Galactic Standard.

Oral Mirfakan has roots primarily in Abh, English, Japanese, and Spanish. Simplistic, repetitive, and relatively easy to learn, most Xanthalian citizens speak Mirfakan, members of the Thanic species being the primary exception with their lack of suitable vocal cords. Written Mirfakan is almost as minimalist and simplistic as its spoken form. Making use of a phoneticized Roman alphabet to form words, the grammatical structure is a fragmentary form of Galactic Standard. Though a great deal of Mirfakan is implied rather than stated, its stripped-down design and suffix modifiers make it easy to learn. Citizens of Xanthal are required to be able to read and write the Mirfakan language proficiently to be considered literate.

Resources and economy

Current economic status, exchange rate and budget details.

The primary resource of Xanthal is raw materials, mostly metal ores and gases. The Mirfak System supports large domestic and international commercial markets, Than focuses more on industry, and Trasnia balances agriculture, commerce, and industry. Xanthal’s economy is structured around socialism, and essential operations are owned and operated by the government. However, private enterprise is widespread and makes up the bulk of Xanthal’s income, thriving despite high taxes and strict government regulation.

Technology

• Xanthalian spacecraft
• Xanthalian space stations

Military

• Läböl (space forces)
• Näböl (planetary forces)

Binding international agreements
