[b]Brief Description:[/b] The Alloy Kingdom was founded by extreme transhumanist pilgrims who, for some reason, believe that they must be rid of their fleshy bodies to move, or "transcend", to the next level of consciousness and ability. The more augments a person receives, the better. Those who try to remove their augments will often be permanently disabled in the process, and the medical practices of the Alloyians are usually just to create a synthetic improvement of whatever failed. Some people stylize themselves with their augments. AI, atomic, and digital technology has rapidly evolved in this environment. The more augments a person has, the more accepted they are and those who have become fully "transcended" are regarded as direct links to the Gods of the Holy Alloy religion. The first and the last augments tend to be so painful and harsh, however, that some die. Those augments, as well, will eventually fail, and it is considered heresy to repair them once fully Transcended, as it is believed that once the Augments fail it is a complete cycle and the expired person will be able to join the High Pantheon. The Gods the Alloyians follow are Silverias, Ironius, Silican, Hydrogilo, Goldian, and Urantion, just naming the High Pantheon or the most important Gods. 

The Alloy Religion is indeed complex. It is not certain where exactly it came from. The Island itself, named Pixel, is mostly tropical and seems to have been built as a result of volcanic eruptions, like the ancient lands of Hawaii. Right now, the Alloyians are simply living in some prefabricated modular homes, built to withstand the weather only until more advanced forms of housing can be constructed. The first Transcended Priest, Photocell Aglamad, has been put into power in a temporary temple that is in the shadow of the gleaming monolith that is the true temple, currently under construction. As he is a century old, has transcended, and has been chosen by the Binary Council (three sentient, learning AIs), he will rule over the people until his cycle completes. He is a hunchbacked, carbon-fiber monstrosity with cables dangling from his body who glows a radioactive blue from within, but is capable of killing a man just by swinging his arm in the wrong way. Despite this sort of power, the Alloyians seem to like keeping their peace to themselves. They do not often understand why others don't take even the first steps to Transcendence, but they usually like to let the High Pantheon take care of them. Even with their very low population numbers, messing with the Alloyians is generally a bad idea because their extreme power, coordination ability, and resilience, although advanced forms of EMPs or other electronic warfare that could theoretically bypass their advanced cyber security has been a major concern.

In daily life, they spend their time praying to altars that look like piles of scrap metal, tinkering with things, planning or altering their augments, or enjoying the sort of electronic entertainment only Alloyians can enjoy. Advanced entertainment AIs, electronic animals, and doing stupid things with some insane land, air, and water vehicles straight from the Mad Max universe. Each High Pantheon God or Goddess as their own Sect, although these Sects are mutually respected. Silicans are very adept with digital technology, Silverians are the artists, etc... As of now, they simply want to spread their word and themselves across their island and possibly beyond, for now. Fermi is mostly controlled by AIs and guards the Ocilloscope Lagoon, but there are a couple of guards and a Techsayer there as well. Oppenheimer houses the first nuclear power plant of the fledgling nation, MSS-U1, and most of the one hundred or so Alloyians currently occupying the island. They are already mining minerals and refining them, and since they can reproduce both asexually and sexually, their numbers are bound to detonate.
