Name of Nation: 
New Auslassia

Nation Characteristics: 
Nominally a Republic, but the most authority is held along the coast. The vast desert interior of the nation is a vast savanna or desert. Here, only herders and mining towns live, sprinkled thinly out across the great red clay and orange sands.

The disproportion of power and authority though is not at disharmony with the government, is it may seem for one part of the country to be at anarchy to another.

The coasts though is where the wealth lives. Abundantly proud of their water, the inhabitants of Auslassia flock to the shores. The coast, particularly the southern shores are renowned for their vast gold sand beaches and amiable surfing conditions, inviting surfers from all over.

Nation Location:
That big island in the upper-left.

Species Name:
Sapiens and Alt-Sapiens

Species Characteristics: 
Sapiens are nominally like humans, and legends say they were born of pirates that came to interfere in the world. One of the results of their interference has been the creation of what they call the Alternate Sapien, or the Second Class in certain quarters. A product of genetic experimentation, the alternate sapiens are more a hybridization of man with animal to create a fully expressive, sapient animal.

Side Chosen in Void War:
Nominally neutral, though independent groups served as volunteers among the Republic.

Technological Level: 
While not as militarily advanced as the Cindorayi, Auslassia has comparatively equal commercial and consumer level technology, whether in the pursuit of mining resources or managing animal herds, or even for the entertainment and amusement of its tourist visitors. Launching from its space port it also allows for the use of foreign private freighters or its own private company freight fleets through the system.

Special Resource:
Vegamine Coal – Seemingly abundant in the national interior, in the beds of ancient swamp beds “vegamine coal” is a super dense source of fuel and carbon that's been found useful in nanotechnology and in relatively low-cost energy, as opposed to straight coal it burns slower and hotter; releasing relatively more potential power for low-tech energy production.

Similarly, a radioactive metal is mined in regions, under the name of Waltzdium, a blue-green metalic mineral safe to handle without protection, but when used in energy generation produced a strong and steady stream of radiation.
