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. A complete history of Xanthal can be found here.


Territory

Xanthal's borders do not directly contact those of any other nation, but its territory is near many established galactic sectors. Xanthal claims only individual star systems, not the space between them. Besides its three capital stars, Xanthal also owns several resource systems not listed here.

Mirfak System

The Merfăk star is 590 light-years from Sol. Xanthal claims the entire system, which forms the core of its operations and houses its national capital.

  • Planets:
    • Mirfak I (uninhabitable, molten).
    • Mirfak II (uninhabitable, various rock and metal types).
    • Mirfak III (inhabited, national capital planet, subtropical temperate climates).
    • Mirfak IV (uninhabitable, various rock and metal types).

Than System

The Ŧăn star is 584 light-years from Sol. Xanthal claims the entire system.

  • Planets:
    • Than I (uninhabitable, molten).
    • Than II (uninhabitable, gas giant).
    • Than III (uninhabitable, barren rock).
    • Than IV (inhabited, system capital planet, tropical rain forest).
    • Than V (uninhabitable, gas giant).
    • Than VI (inhabited, homeworld, warm temperate climates).
    • Than VII (uninhabitable, ice planet).

Trasnia System

The Trăzneä star is 632 light-years from Sol. Xanthal claims the entire system.

  • Planets:
    • Trasnia I (uninhabitable, molten).
    • Trasnia II (uninhabitable, gas giant).
    • Trasnia III (sixteenth moon habitable, gas giant).
    • Trasnia IV (uninhabitable, barren rock).
    • Trasnia V (inhabitable, hot desert climates).
    • Trasnia VI (inhabited, system capital planet, warm temperate climates).

Ministries

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

  • Köskos Oĭfnăl [Ministry of Education]
  • Köskos Oĭnsăl [Ministry of Information]
  • Köskos Fäbrelăl [Ministry of Development]

  • Köskos Länyöăl [Ministry of People]
  • Köskos Pĕleăl [Ministry of Transportation]
  • Köskos Ŧăsăl [Ministry of Health]


Law and order

Xanthalian territory is policed by the Köskos Gĭmĕs Bĕsfräl [National Security Agency], which operates under the Ministry of Security. The KGB is well funded by the Council, and its agents operate across Xanthal. 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

  • 32% human
  • 24% xanthalian
  • 15% than
  • 2% elf
  • 1% neko
  • 1% calamari
  • 1% avian
  • 24% other (composing less than 1% of the total population)

Literacy and language

Literacy rate: 88%

Official language: Merfăkan [Mirfakan].

Other common languages: ְֱֲֳַֻׁׁ [Than], Galactic Standard.

Oral Mirfakan has roots primarily in Abh, English, 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 stripped-down variation of Galactic Standard. Citizens of Xanthal over the age of ten standard years 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.

Xanthal’s primary resource 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. Private enterprise is widespread and makes up the bulk of Xanthal’s income, though it is heavily regulated and taxed, thanks in large part to high import tariffs.
