[i]Extremely incomplete[/i] [hider=Kazzlehorf] [b]Nation Name: Kazzlehorf[/b] [b]Population and Demographics:[/b] 99.99999% Kazzlehorf 0.000009% pets (no breeding of pets is carried out by Kazzlehorf. Pets = Slaved sapients here. Kazzlehorf kind of sees all non-kazzlehorf as animals.) 0.000001% non-kazzlehorfs (Mentally defective Kazzlehorfs who have managed to evade being put asleep) Drones are not counted in these demographics since they are objects, not living beings. However, they would count for 90% of the population if allowed to. (Drones mind you, are cheap and have many, many different roles and applications Kazzlehorf wants them to have.) All in all there is 70 Billion Kazzlehorf across a dozen star systems. Kazzlehorfs tend to concentrate heavily mainly to ensure total conformity at all times. Pets Kazzlehorf plays with all the time, though they sometimes break... [b]Species:[/b] The Kazzlehorf bipeds with a pale, banana-like skin tone that have long heads and circular, crimson red eyes. Their body is somewhat scaly, but Kazzlehorf also has barb-like hairs running through the sides of his flat heads and a large rectangular mouth that humans call a vacuum head. Kazzlehorf looks exactly the same not because of a natural predisposition to a unitary state of appearance, but because of strict DNA codes where all kazzlehorf must look like Kazzlehorf, no one else. There is no more female Kazzlehorf (For Kazzlehorf is a man), but if there were any you would note that like humans they have live birth and had a large throat sack to feed babies with instead of breasts. Such throat sacks seem absent with kazzlehorf these days, but anything resembling a throat sack has a noticeably weird effect on kazzlehorf. The color of Kazzlehorf's internal flesh is a blueish hue instead of pink. If Kazzlehorf lacked the genetic purity it now has, no doubt you would see all sorts of different kinds of Kazzlehorf with a ethnic variation at least as great as humanity. But that is not this reality, no, this is the reality where only kazzlehorf exists. Kazzlehorf is about 7 feet in height with a somewhat bony body figure. Kazzlehorf is slightly weaker biologically than humans from a scientific standpoint, with a physiology that is simply less suited to higher gravities. Kazzlehorf can tolerate the gravity of say, Earth. But the gravity of a world with 1.5x Earth's gravity would be punishing to Kazzlehorf. Kazzlehorf in truth is actually a weaker specimen of its species. This has not stopped Kazzlehorf from still insisting that it is the strongest being in the galaxy despite being obviously weaker than a human (even if it loses a fight it'll insist that it was because the other species was cheating). Kazzlehorf's dietary needs center around coral-like foods and "blue meat" instead of plants and red meat. This is a trait no doubt inherited from biology. Kazzlehorf really likes coral and will import tons of coral in exchange for cheap factory made drones Kazzlehorf has a extreme over abundance of. Kazzlehorf also likes alien meats at times, mainly for the taste. Some meats are really poisonous and Kazzlehorf doesn't like it. Kazzlehorf also likes a drink brand known as "Zippa" which seems to be equivelant to Pepsi. It's a very pink, gooey substance that Kazzlehorf describes as "tangy to the tongue" that Kazzlehorf also sometimes exports in exchange for [s]slaves[/s] pets. Kazzlehorf has a sex drive despite not needing a sex drive at all. Kazzlehorf simply didn't want itself to be so dickless so despite reproduction being obsolete kept its genitals anyways. Kazzlehorf takes five months to Gestate in mom's womb even with clones and grows up in stages that reflect human stages greatly with one key difference; baby Kazzlehorf lacks his limbs and grow them as he ages. This is also a trait from pre-Kazzlehorf times, but Kazzlehorf insists it's because the perfect baby has no limbs and therefore baby Kazzlehorf is perfect without them. [b]System of Government:[/b] Kazzlehorf is a individual and a full government. However, there is bureaucracy of sorts where Kazzlehorf checks itself systemically again and again obsessively weeding out the non-Kazzlehorf. There is no 'leader' per say with Kazzlehorf in the traditional sense. Instead you have a oligarchy of Kazzlehorf who runs things who all want to be the ruler Kazzlehorf since they all aspire to rule Kazzlehorf. The Bureaucracy is stagnant in regards to reforms, but basic actions are effective because Kazzlehorf tends to agree with itself all the time anyways. Kazzlehorf that behave weird or due some not Kazzlehorf in nature get purged and fed to animals around the galaxy either way. Jobs are distributed by systems. For Kazzlehorfs have their "dream job" (and it IS THEIR DREAM JOB NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY) based around what is needed that fill very set and narrow categories that have deeply stifled innovation. Kazzlehorf only puts a 15% effort in practice (or 15% of Kazzlehorf actually have jobs since most of the labor is done by ubiquitous drones) with most Kazzlehorf instead being dronies who pretty much have exactly the same interests and all like the same exact things. (More on that in the culture section). Their system is best described as a strange decentralized oligarchy where equality exists to some degree, but only because of the insane overreliance on drones for their infrastructure. Drones don't have AI of any sort; they are led by Kazzlehorf. Drones perhaps are a integral part of the Kazzlehorf "government" for these drones also act as law enforcement as they automatic scan for any deviant behaviors or activity that is simply not Kazzlehorf. These drones at times may accidently target pets and are often arbitrarily armed with bombing equipment in the case of a mass revolt which has only happened twice in 900 years, but even that many times for non-Kazzlehorf pandemic break outs is just too much for Kazzlehorf. As long as Kazzlehorf are Kazzlehorf, who is a fun loving, great individual who is the best at everything always and is open minded in love, likes making drones, enjoys a Zippa once in a while and DOES NOT SNIFF ITSELF LIKE THAT UNSPEAKABLE FREAK (name is lost to time, only Kazzlehorf allowed) they generally can be as hedonistic as they want. But if they do stuff that Kazzlehorf wouldn't do, they get sent to the cleaning factory. There is no laws for Kazzlehorf, Kazzlehorf does not recognize laws other than the general, intrinsic and intensively taught knowledge on being Kazzlehorf and only Kazzlehorf. [b]History:[/b] The Kazzlehorf were not always called Kazzlehorf. Kazzlehorf is actually just one name of a entire species with nations, cultures and civilizations. Many of them rather individualistic, with very few being 'collective' in their thinking. They were a quite advanced species too, having a global civilization and top of the line engineering. It is hard to imagine, but there was a time when the Kazzlehorf were a individualistic species who had a very deep belief in concepts of private ownership and self-loyalty. They didn't have big nations and has somewhat egalitarian hierarchies; wealth distribution was small (the wealthiest had 5x the wealth of an average individual at most) and the only real problem with this species was that they were very war prone and obsessed with achievement. Every individual sought to achieve their highest goals in life. Such warring nature would however, be their downfall. For the greatest war happened, lost to history now, but it was one that spanned three entire star systems and killed off 97% of the pre-Kazzlehorf species. Only individual had power left. His name was Kazzlehorf, a drone commander with a superiority complex who saw this time as the golden opportunity to take absolute power of the entire 'ecumene' for himself. This all happened nearly a thousand years ago with no contact yet achieved with other species. Kazzlehorf however, found that his tyranny was opposed by the last 3% of Kazzlehorf as well, who rebelled against his autocratic regime using flimsy improvised weapons. In response, Kazzlehorf used his army of drones to purge systemically the last of his species. The shoddy guns did little against a army of unthinking, uncaring and soulless machines who bombed them from the skies with the last hold outs in the mountains Kazzlehorf than realized only three days later what he just did. He literally made his entire species extinct. And that gave him the idea which would go on to define the next thousand years of Kazzlehorf history. To repopulate the world and the colonies with armies of himself who would have unwavering loyalty to him and him alone. For they would all be Kazzlehorf, from birth to death. Kazzlehorf initiated a program of cloning and systemic indoctrination, to show Kazzlehorf clones what Kazzlehorf is like. And for years buffeting this into their minds until their minds are the same. Some Kazzlehorf followed dreams of being the best engineers in the universe of drones, these kazzlehorf would eventually take power and the first kazzlehorf would die a natural death unnoticed in his sea of clones. For all are Kazzlehorf. The drones that keep them afloat diversified, creating a very unitarian society where you must be Kazzlehorf. There is no leader of Kazzlehorf, for Kazzlehorf is Kazzlehorf. All is Kazzlehorf. Over the generations, Kazzlehorf retroactively has become the perfect being. Kazzlehorf may follow billions of paths, but they are all the same Kazzlehorf in the de facto caste system that developed. Some Kazzlehorf became machine makers, others decided to follow Kazzlehorf's dream of being a movie star while Kazzlehorf again, became the Kazzlehorf that wanted to explore space. Contact with other species with spacecraft confused Kazzlehorf, as Kazzlehorf was supposed to be the best and most perfect being in the universe. So these space faring creatures they realized as animalistic imperfections, beasts and critters out there like in nature. Some are dangerous and will try to eat you, others much less dangerous and kind of cute. Others still in-between. Kazzlehorf had reached out to these animals and has made arrangements with them in regards to the non-Kazzles. Some animals need to eat after all. Other animals liked eating TV, so they also started trading TV. Other animals still wanted some of the vast amounts of cheap drones Kazzlehorf has mucking about, so Kazzlehorf also started trading those all in exchange for anything Kazzlehorf wanted from them. But that is not to say kazzlehorf has been peaceful; Kazzlehorf's mere existence offends some of these creatures. They hate him. They want to murder Kazzlehorf! So Kazzlehorf must arm himself with weapons derived from Kazzlehorf's imagination which is the best imagination in the galaxy by far and keep the wild animals at bay until they eat each other whole. Than Kazzlehorf will rule the galaxy, just like how Kazzlehorf came to rule the world. [b]Culture:[/b] Kazzlehorf culturally is distinctive in the total desire for total conformity to being Kazzlehorf. This comes from the precedents set 900 years ago when Kazzlehorf made videos exuding his nature to the first batch of clones of himself, who than developed more Kazzlehorfy Kazzlehorf and intensified the power of Kazzlehorf further. Kazzlehorf progressively hit his full identity and the tradition of letting baby Kazzlehorf watch TV for five years of his early life so he is Kazzlehorf with intensive and rigorous testing (to prune out the non-Kazzlehorfs). This indoctrinated education is at the core of Kazzlehorf, for everyone must be Kazzlehorf and simply DNA alone is not enough to ensure Kazzlehorf is Kazzlehorf. Mutations in the brain post-birth are a frequent fear Kazzlehorf has; if the brain develops in non-Kazzlehorf ways than that Kazzlehorf is not Kazzlehorf. Since all Kazzlehorfs are clones of each other and expected to have very similar fashions and dress styles (all of which tend to be rather vibrant and flamboyant. It's all that the automated free shops sell) Hats are used to distinguish jobs, with a big hat for the Kazzlehorf that engineer drones (who hold all the power), a round hat for the Kazzlehorf who make drones and no hats for the Kazzlehorf who have no dream jobs or dreamed of being a actor. Kazzlehorfs who dreamed of being a actor tend to wear the same stage uniforms that have been used for centuries. Kazzlehorf is a free place as long as you are Kazzlehorf, by that it is not a free place at all in the human sense because you must be Kazzlehorf and drones are always monitoring the large city complexes and mega blocks which characterize the major worlds Kazzlehorf owns personally. Sexual freedom is where Kazzlehorf is most liberal by far, and frequent mass orgies are a reoccurring event with Kazzlehorf. A event Kazzlehorf refers to as "masturbating". Frequent partying and self-mutilation (going around stabbing others for the hell of it) are things Kazzlehorf also likes to do a lot. Kazzlehorf doesn't import media, and so Kazzlehorf has very little exposure to outside culture beyond whatever random things Kazzlehorf thinks is "good for Kazzlehorf". Usually that being 'pets' (slaves) Kazzlehorf does whatever he wants with. Kazzlehorf loves drones, drones are Kazzlehorf's best friend. Drones are great because they just work, do what you tell them and don't try to kill you for taking control of things like non-Kazzlehorf. There are tons of drones and their general purpose is keeping infrastructure together, automating everything possible (Kazzlehorf usually hates working unless it's a dream job like drone engineering). Saying you don't like drones is the most non-Kazzlehorf thing you can do. The drones tend to colored a light shade of blue and frequently have a stylized, exaggerated face of Kazzlehorf on them somewhere. Usually as a logo, but in certain cases as a full-on part of the geometry. Kazzlehorf is extremely self-centered, to the point where he views other species in the galaxy as universally "animals" while Kazzlehorf is the only self-aware being in the entire universe. The animals in Kazzlehorf's point of view can be cute, peaceful, mean, violent or imperialist. Kazzlehorf doesn't really understand or care to understand the territory of other nations as a result and may frequently send assassins to kill non-Kazzlehorf in other nations regardless of whether or not Kazzlehorf is 'allowed to'. After all, when did a lizard demand humans permission to do anything? Kazzlehorf likes drinking a beverage called Zippa, which to a human tongue taste a hell of a lot like Pepto-Bismol. Zippa and water seem to be all Kazzlehorf drinks. Massive factories of the stuff pump the Zippa drinks out daily. Zippa is literally everywhere; you cannot go to Kazzlehorf and expect Kazzlehorf not to suggest you try some Zippa even if your species would get killed from drinking it. Everyone loves Zippa, even animals. Kazzlehorf has identity problems at times, but this is usually dealt with by having the job hats since there is no real point to identity for the majority of Kazzlehorf anyways; drones take good care of Kazzlehorf. Kazzlehorf do at times play around with businesses or do productive things, said Kazzlehorf usually exists only because it's doing something Kazzlehorf would do. Or else it would be among the non-Kazzlehorfs who end up in a factory to get eviscerated, grinded up and processed into canned Kazzlehorf that gets sold for free to animals around the galaxy. [b]Important people, places, and organizations:[/b] ONLY KAZZLEHORF IS IMPORTANT. Place-wise, there's a several. (i'll work on this) [b]Military size:[/b] A large standing drone army. Kazzlehorf tends to play with his drones when he's decided to be a drone engineer which happens about 6% of the time (or 4.2 Billion kazzlehorf are in the military with 39.7 billion drones total). The actual drone army is pretty huge and meant mainly as a means of keeping the wild animals from attacking him (which he sometimes sees as Imperialists and will refer to them as such no matter what their reason for invading is). [b]Military details:[/b] Kazzlehorf's personal drone army is ran by Kazzlehorf whenever he's operating drones, for the drone operators hold control of not only the matience, industrial and toy drones, but also the vast armada of military drones. These drones are organized into sets of ten which are under jurisdiction of Kazzlehorf directly. There is barely any military hierarchy as Kazzlehorf already runs everything, with the drone operators at most deferring commands to the civilian drone operators. This means that paradoxically enough, Kazzlehorf is very decentralized with his military with indoctrinated learning being the primarily method of maintaining conformity in the military. Kazzlehorf infantry tends to have multiple drones to help locate and attack animals. Kazzlehorf himself tends to be welded with one of three main infantry arms (a missile rifle, a laser rifle and a handheld flak cannon). Kazzlehorf whenever he goes into the battlefield tends to be uniformly outfitted with a strange, gaudy power armored which is extremely sparkly. Kazzlehorf operates with a doctrine of attacking the enemy until they are dead. Or in short, Kazzlehorf uses basic arttirition tactics for you cannot kill Kazzlehorf (for his always born again in another life). Some kazzlehorf get better by experience and generally may end up being killed for fighting in non-Kazzlehorf fashions (or any fashion where not running in and shooting wildly in the general direction the drones located the enemy is since Kazzlehorf trusts his drones and doesn't do weird things). Kazzlehorf's military is more like a defensive weapon more than anything else, just something he uses as deterrance from wild animals and as a clean up crew when the galaxy makes a massive mess of itself. They have no doctrine for invading other societies whatsoever as Kazzlehorf doesn't hate animals enough. Kazzlehorf loves animals! Spaceship flying is something Kazzlehorf usually does with somewhat primitive technical systems based on a society from nearly 1000 years ago. As per usual, Kazzlehorf claims he made it. Kazzlehorf made everything. Spacecraft formations tend to be somewhat spaced out and teterred towards intercepting invading forced before they get too close with a general doctrine of upping the number of ships the closer anyone gets to anything important with Kazzlehorf's world. Kazzlehorf's most imaginative military tectic however, is the doctrine of "exploding invaders" where Kazzlehorf uses his WMDs en masse at invading forces until they go away. Kazzlehorf saves this for when they get too close for comfort, in the hopes that it scares them away. [b]Weapons tech:[/b] Kazzlehorf arms himself with laser rifles for the most part, a weapon that for all its flashiness is a energy drain all in all. However,t he benefit of being able to hit the enemy at light speed and persistantly means focus firing at the big uglies works great. Good ol' kinetic weaponry is another thing Kazzlehorf has in abundance, making use of semi-auto missile rifles regularly that are quite hard hitting when they hit their targets. The missile rifles have a small chance of causing a self-destructive jam once oever 2500 shots. Kazzlehorf denies the existence of their staggering technical flaw like usual so Kazzlehorf simply believe that the gun just hates non-Kazzlehorf and that the gun was doing Kazzlehorf a favor by gibbing the welder of the missile rifle on those rare and non-coincidental off chances that the user's arms get blown off. (more to come. Mainly chemical weapons and nuclear grenades along with mega nukes) [b]General Technology:[/b] The technology kazzlehorf has is a variety of crude experiments that only kazzlehorf could think of any technology based on designs from a advanced, thousand year old civilization that has pretty much been erased by Kazzlehorf because said civilization was full of non-Kazzlehorfs. The technology Kazzlehorf plays with consists of numerous fission based devices including miniaturized nuclear grenades and spacecraft which are powered by nuclear energy. Biotech is also decent, especially in regards to cloning which is very specialized to make Kazzlehorf born again and again and again so he can live all the lives he wants to. Information technology is very ubiquitous with massive information centers designed to find the non-Kazzlehorfs and a network of talking faces which allow for Kazzlehorf to talk to himself when he needs to. Kazzlehorf has wireless energy as well, energy distributing towers found in eerie geometries (cities and towns tend to be in a perfect circle around these towers) that pretty much are designed to keep cities in line encase massive rebellions break out (i.e cutting all the power for hundred million in seconds). The wiring systems used are carbon based protocols instead of silicon based protocols. This means that simple EMP strikes tend not to work out. However, carbon based wiring is not as effective at creating smart AIs as other wiring systems. This does not mean a AI system is impossible with carbon based computers however, in fact the drones Kazzlehorf has do have a minor level of intelligence. Sadly the drones tend to be massive tools. The drone technology kazzlehorf has is shaded a light shade of blue as mentioned earlier and tends to be very curvy with teardrop shaped bodies. They take on a extreme diversity of roles for Kazzlehorf and have many, many forms. These drones however, are not made for quality. They are easily mass produced and actually quite shoddy, having a bad habit of falling apart when exposed to too much outside stress and seem to all be based on designs from centuries ago. [b]Economy:[/b] It's extremely communist economically. Everything is free for Kazzlehorf in his realm since Kazzlehorf owns everything. Kazzlehorf is already the richest being in the universe (as so it claims) and therefore does not need to buy anything. It however barter trades with animals for resources it lacks and due to overabundances of the same shit, has more than enough things to throw to the "animals" for free! (But you got to give uncle Kazzle something in return) [b]Spaceships:[/b] [u]Kazzlehorf's Favorite[/u] Kazzlehorf's Favorite is a large military ship that is 700 meters in size and would classify as a "cruiser" in human terms. These ships are somewhat standard. Kazzlehorf's Favorite carries a dozen ICBM-like missile systems and a hundred drones to unload on enemy targets. The defence systems are based around basic laser interception that is highly automated in nature. The ship uses fission-based propulsion systems and has dense, plastic-like hull that can absorb some dmaage from lasers, but is easily blown apart with ballistics. The drones that are launched into space on these ships come in three clases; Reapir drones, Attack Drones and Defense Drones. Repair drones repair the ship wherever it is hit, attack drones assault enemy ships using micro-rocket turrets and defense drones go out of their way to intercept enemy attacks from a reasonable distance. More robots exist in the ship to service Kazzlehorf. These ships are piloted by Kazzlehorf in three lives with one kazzlehorf doing all the work while the other two spend most of their time watching television or playing with the robots and act more or less as back up encase the main pilot goes un-Kazzlehorf. Kazzlehorf's favorite is not that expensive to make and is the backbone of Kazzlehorf's defense forces.
