**History**

First life on Felix Prime appeared around -45294 years ago.

As life evolved the Feline Mammals became the dominant, most populous specie. By -4604, the first civilization, the Myrriad, was created around the south pole. This was the first organized city around agriculture, a common law and a leader named a Patriarch.

The next innovation was writing, in -4033. By then, advanced civilizations were present around the globe, the most dominant being the Myrriad, the Felix, the Outjab, the Pierro and the Lavish.

In -2685, the planet went trough a mini ice age, destroying crops and killing millions. The only surviving civilization was the Felix, being situated at the equator. Following the apocalypse, the specie rediscovered the globe, starting anew but always keeping the name Felix. This was how the specie first started naming themselves.

Bronze and Iron were discovered, culture vanished, life changed, and societies grew. In the year -533, a great war was started under the military commander Steven Wilhemburrow. This promising noble from the original Felix city declared war on multiple nations, bringing a whole continent under is lead. For the next hundreds of years, his descendant will fight, sometime neighbors, other time among each other.

By the year 0, the first Imperium Mundi was proclaimed under the leadership of the King Gustav Wilhemburrow, first King of the world.

Going trough inner fighting, plagues, apocalypse and other issues, the united world survived, with the line of the Wilhemburrow still on the throne to this day.

Felix Prime got his name in late 1266, being referred before as The Mother. It was renamed Felix Prime, a proper name for a future galactic empire.

**Government**

Felix Prime is the capital of the Kingdom of Felix, has such it is ruled from the King and his ministers. The King hold the absolute power over all matter, but rarely interfere directly with the daily matter of the state. Most of the acting power comes from the 10 ministers and their employees.

The state autocratic system is immense, and more than 15% of the population works for the government.

**Population**

When talking about the population of Felix Prime, most refer to the nobility and merchants, the shining society of the center of the Kingdom. While the elite is concentrated on this planet and its cosmopolite cities, they make up only for 3% of the population.

About 25-35% of the population lives decent, middle-class live, working in the education system, high-tech laboratories, bureaucratic job or everything related to serving the royal family.

Most of the population, however, lives in the slums, living hard lives far from the luxurious life of the elite. While having access to food, healthcare and decent education, their living standards are not as good as the media would say. Many works 10 hours day, 6 days a week in mines or foundries. Being always subject to the constant coverage of the royal family and richest nobles, they tend to develop low self-esteem, depression and abandonment.  Many, for the sake of appearance, sacrifice meals, vacation of health to get fashionable clothes, jewels or other useless and costly objects to feel closer to the elite.

Even if their situation is negative, since they don’t live in absolute poverty, they are judged boring for the media and ignored most of the time.

**Economy**

The main source of revenue of the planet is the tax income, which pay for the King’s expenses and the bureaucratic system.

The high level of education and status of original planets alloys a high level of education, which leads to many jobs in the high-tech sector.

For the lowest member of the population, works is mostly into the huge mines and alloys foundries on the planet. The crust of Felix Prime is very rich in iron, nickel and cobalt, but also diamonds, rubies and other precious stones.

Since the capital is home to the nobility and the richest of the Kingdom, all matter of gossip reporting, fashion and trends comes from that planet, making it a thriving industry.

**Landscape**

The planet is covered in cities, leaving only the oceans and about 12% of the above-water area inhabited.

Those preserved placed are mostly artificial, with plants and animals from all across the Kingdom. Native from here are a diverse list of medium-sized mammals, insects and birds.

The native trees are leafy and high, growing up to 115 meters tall.
