I was interested and did a little writing. [hider= Ospa Alliance] [center][h1][img] https://flag-designer.appspot.com/gwtflags/SvgFileService?d=8&c1=2&c2=1&c3=1&o=6&c4=0&s=3&c5=5[/img][/h1][/center] [center][h1]Nation Name: Ospa Alliance[/h1][/center] [h3]Government Form: Dictatorship [/h3] -A council of 11 that has absolute say over what goes on in the government called “The Alliance”. [center][h2]Demographics[/h2][/center] [h3]Population:[/h3] 1.1 Billion [h3]Races:[/h3] Human 40% Osparians 50% Half-Spars 10% [h3]Languages:[/h3] -Common- 95%, a language formed by the combination of earthly languages passed down through heritage. It’s an old and respected language that is spoken by almost everyone. -Osparion- 60%, As humans adapted and developed ways to survive on Ospa they changed the way they talked. Letters formed into glyphs and became shorter to say. Osparion is spoken by the newer generation that has genetically split from the older human generation. Osparion is now adapted by the growing Osaprian population along with some of the human population. [h3]Urbanization:[/h3] Rural-20%, Rural living is mostly done in small habitation domes along Ospa’s surface. These domes are often formed in groups that are usually connected with tram systems or if close enough long walkways. Usually in rural areas there will be more Osparians than humans due to heat difference. Urban-80%, Urban living is dominated by giant underground cities or huge habitation domes. These “Under-Cities” are powered by solar and geothermal energy, keeping the air underground clean. These Urban cities can stretch miles into the extensive underground cave system on Ospa. [h3]Religion:[/h3] Atheist-89, a large portion of the population is unaligned with a church or does not conduct any spiritual rituals. Shadorn-11%, a portion of the population has now started to conduct a new type of religion not performed in the past. These individuals believe that they can obtain a place in an afterlife by committing to a life of silence. They believe in the great being “Dai’feron” who prepares a place for silent believers. He is the father of the universe and delights in seeing his creations bask in the silence of his art works. —————————————————————————————————————————-————————— [h3]Planet Name and Description:[/h3] Ospa, a harsh desert planet that receives 23 hours of sun in its 30 hour day cycle. It’s locked into the orbit of a B-type star with 3 small moons that orbit at a fast rate. It’s located in a lonely system with the next closest planet being locked in the orbit of another sun forever away. It’s surface is dry and cracked, mostly covered in sand. There are only two water sources on the surface that are locked in a constant state of boiling. On its surface roams colossal alien creatures that have heavily adapted to the extreme heat. Ospa does have a redeeming feature. It has a vast network of extensive caves underneath. These caves have flora and fauna of their own. Hidden away from the always burning sun there can be found cool water and geothermal locations where temperature from the core can escape. [h3]History:[/h3] (Year-1) Upon landing the colony originally started with 1,000,000 people. Upon landing on the planet it could be identified that it was going to be a hostile surface. The original 1,000,000 wouldn’t survive for long with how ill prepared they were. (Year-5) They’re finally able to settle into the cavernous interior of the planet. Along with settling they are able to discover hot spots that help to power everything. Their population had taken a hit, they numbered 789,900. A decision has been made that a council of 11 leaders would have absolute say of the internal and external affairs of the colony. (Year-14) Research has been done to help nurture human genes to be more resilient to heat. Test trials have started and the population has been on the rise. (Year-52) Gene research has pulled through and they have been able to secure injectable genes that could help nurture infants to be heat resistant. (Year-60) Riots have begun as people protest against the usage of injections to help protect the heat at the risk of abnormal mutations. 3 of the 11 council members have split off from the council to form their own government. (Year-68) The beginning of a civil war has taken place with two factions, The Alliance and The Free People. The usage of artificial genes have been put into use with the main mutation being loss of all hair. Along with this civil war weapon and vehicle research has started to take off. Reclamation of the surface has also begun with the newer advancement of flight vehicles. (Year-91) The civil war has come to an end with the result being a win for The Alliance. Domes have become popular on the surface for all the genetically modified humans. Studies are being conducted over how stable the heat resistant gene is. (Year-120) The advancement of entertainment and vehicular enterprises have been achieved. People who have the mutated heat gene have started to notice changes within their biology. Their skin has grown thick and has started to form hard plating on their body. (Year-140) Due to discrimination against carriers of the heat resistant gene they have started to call themselves a different race, Osparian, due to forming genetic and physical differences. The government has started to enforce large scale police action to stop the rise of anti-Osparian organizations. (Year-160) Osparians and humans are living in unity for now. Reclamation of the surface is still in progress with construction being slow due to less Osparian workers. Large metropolises have formed underground and space bases have started to be established on the moons and in the planet's orbit. This has allowed them to mine for resources in asteroids that float close to them. (Year-225) Society has started to advance towards more research to help advance the society. Crossing of humans and osparians have begun to take off. Due to almost mastery of gene manipulation birth defects that would occur are taken care of. Rising “half-spar” population. [h2] Culture and Society:[/h2] The average age for a human is 89 years old. The average age for an Osparian is 100. Their society is largely capitalist based, with local “enforcers” as the police are called to monitor any crime. The standard unit of money is one oss, or “O”. A new religion has started to form with their belief in an all powerful being. They’ve started to erect small pyramidal-like buildings as religious centers. Most cities are underground where a huge amount of humans live alongside Osparians. [h2]Government and Politics[/h2] The government is controlled by a ruling 11 that gets replaced by a vote from the remaining. It is a position held until death or rendered unable to complete duties. These 11 control all aspects of society, this includes economy, military, crime, art, education, and ect. They allow no other governing party to exist other than them. [h2]Technology:[/h2] Ospa technology has advanced in many fields. In the field of energy, they’ve made large advancements in it. They’ve become completely dependent on renewable energy and have more than enough thanks to high quality solar and geothermal collection methods. In the advancements of medicine they’ve become skilled at working with genetic diseases. Most genetic diseases are curable with their level of technology. In the advancement of weaponry Ospa moved away from laser based firepower, which is heat based, in favor of electric charge based firepower. Due to the thick plating of the colossal beasts that roam the surface their weapons are made to shock their hearts to death rather than bleed them. As for vehicular technology, Ospa has made easy and smooth travel and landing when coming in and out of their atmosphere. Ospa developed a line of flight vehicles or “flyers” as they call them. They hover over the ground or fly through the air at high speeds within the atmosphere. [h2]Military:[/h2] The Ospa military is dispersed throughout the planet and works with the “enforcers”, or police. The military will likely not gather together unless there is a large colossal animal about to make a collision with a dome or the 11 leaders command it. Every member of the Ospa military is given a shock rifle which requires electric cells to shoot. Every member is also given an exo-suit, the suit is temperature controlled and has the ability to store oxygen. The only difference between the human and osparian exo-suit is that the osparian suits were too big to add a jump pack on-to. Jump-packs release bursts of air that are able to swiftly carry people for maneuvering. Half-spars are able to equip human exo-suits due to smaller builds. The structure of the military is as stated. One of the 11 will be nominated as high-general. They will gain complete control of troop movement. Under the high-general are the generals. Generals will take command over a designated amount of troops. Under the generals are captains. Captains will designate orders to squad leaders. Squad leaders will designate their orders to the squad that they are over, usually consisting of 10 members.

They often have bright green eyes that have a thin protective layer on them that protects against sunlight or flashes. They are usually 6-7 feet tall. They have human proportions except they have plating that looks like rock covering parts of their bodies. They lack hair on them instead having plating where hair should exist. They’re bodies are immune to heat which makes them far more adapted to Ospa’s surface than humans. [/hider]
