Nation Sheet: Name: Shiya Species: The Shian are a cute, short, jelly-embodied species that have a few legs that can slowly take them wherever they please. Their body is shaped like a droplet, their googley cheerful eyes carry a sentience that is preserved within. Government Type: Oligarchy Description of Technology:(What your Technology is based off) The technology of the Shian is that of minimal energy expenditure. They have optimized their energy use to contain almost all of it within their colony-class starships. They are a race that solely gazes upon the universe. Self-contained, and content, they keep to themselves. They exist in elusive paradise-like eco-ships and have minimal contact with the outside world. Inside of their ships are flora, fauna, planned cities. Their waste management systems include re-using almost all of it. The computer terminals use a liquid energy that flows throughout the ship in veins. It's easy to splash in the "ethereal computing juice" as they call it and splash data in someone's face. Description of Culture: Without a home planet, the Shian make their home in the stars. They have many symbols that relate to Jelly in all sorts of forms and fashions. Their temples to the deity of jelly imperiously holding a golden plate is the symbol of their religion. Status is dependent on the rarity and color of the jelly one has on display in her home. Paradise isn't so perfect when you can't move away from your neighbors. Although it is possible to transfer between star-ships, that would involve a lot more energy than the Shian are willing to spend, and being shrewd with their energy, they are likely to decline move-requests. So it's better to just move to the other side of the ship and pretend to not see each other than it is to actually move away. But thankfully most people like each other! Most. History: The history of the Shian homeworld is written in the data juice and can be accessed from any library terminal. Flag: The flag has seven stars, equally displaced throughout a white background with a circle on the bottom right, the symbol of their lost homeworld. Military (OPTIONAL): No military, but the Shian can avoid conflict with their elusive ships. Other
