## Description

Skonoe is the overpopulated, technologically advanced planet that has a strong sense of unity to the point where racism and xenophobia are extinct amongst Skonoe peoples. The snowy deserts of Skonoe and the rough, rocky surface is what formed a population of tough people that are willing to fight and die for their country.

## Chronology

### Prehistory Era

Before Modern Skonoe, Prehistoric Skonoe was a much warmer planet with rivers and more trees that was inhabited by the Rayan people of the planet Nietuvu, an alien species that are mostly related to the Skonoyen species. These loosely independent hunter-gatherer groups migrated across the planet as they didn’t exactly form civilizations but rather societies that lived off the land. The Rayans decided to visit Skonoe as it would not be discovered by any other major empire at the time due to it being “too uninhabitable for civilizations”. It is currently being investigated by Skonoyen and Rayan scientists as to how Skonoe’s climate changed, but it is theorized to be a combination of a massive asteroid and extreme global ice age that remains for the rest of eternity and will shape how the Skonoyen culture evolves. Thousands of years later, the first Skonoyen tribes formed which paved the way for flags, symbols, and leaders organizing these tribes. These Skonoyen tribes go by their own dialects, but they are known as the Red, Purple, Blue, and Black Tribes of Skonoe.

#### The Start of a New King

Around the late 4th millennium ZY, King Tvarite I, the first king of Ancient Skonoe, made an effort to unite the entirity of the Skonoyen tribes to ensure that their planet would be united under one name. These attempts have failed as later on King Tvarite I died due to unknown reasons and his son, Tvarite Avenstal II, took over at the age of 13 and grew up to unite Skonoe through various wars during his lifetime. Most of his life is unknown, but what is known is that he is the most celebrated prehistoric/ancient leader of Skonoe as there are tons of propaganda posters of him throughout the planet.

#### War of Invasions (wip translation)

The War of Invasions is the name for the Skonoyen Civil War, in which King Tvarite II had to find a way to unite Skonoe as his father wanted to and fix the leaders of the other tribes to not be so ruthless and cruel. The leader of the Red Tribe, specifically, was the most ruthless of them all. This era of ancient Skonoyen history is well known as most parts are well documented, although some are lost to time, rewritten, or heavily mythicized by people.

### Present Era

Thousands of years later, Skonoe remains as one of the most technologically advanced planets that has such technology that can allow them to reproduce food efficiently, clone people, create artificial beings, highly advanced infrastructure for their high population, and more. Rillorea (citation needed) created a stigma that the people of the planet are reproducing too much because the population is blinded by what the government says. Ironically, Rillorea's modern government is responsible for keeping their own people in check.

### Future Era

Time has passed since the technological boom of the planet, and it now has reached a population of 40 billion around 2525/2600 ZY. Their planet is completely covered in buildings (ecumenopolis) as the different cities that once were there are now districts that make up one large city. Not much is known due to their isolationist stance they have brought back because the Intergalactic Planetary Forces (IPF) wanted to set up a military base on their planet. Plans did not go through as talks with the Galactic Union (citation needed) remained stale.

## Government Structure

The Skonoyen government is divided into four main tribes (WIP) that have their own leaders to represent their tribes. Combatants must prove themselves worthy by having a battle scar, which signifies the endurance of a person. After the chosen members have met on a special spot in Skonoe, they will undergo an initiation to become the leader(s) of Skonoe. Two people can rule over Skonoe, but it only has to be (wip): the process of sparing another life out of respect. The leader(s) of Skonoe have control over the planet and its resources but not over its laws, although it can change them if the people agree. Civilians are able to start up their own businesses that have a small tax they have to pay to the government from the profits they make.

### Treasury

The United Tribes of the Skonoyen Republic’s (aka Skonoe) treasury is stated to be unknown as they do not share their government information with other planet leaders/organizations.

### Military

The Skonoyen military consists of 9.5 billion soldiers, making it one of the largest militaries in the entire Linaitarian Galaxy. They train on a planet called Gonok in the Skorza System; which allows for them to test weapons, combat techniques, and more. Skonoe’s government usually remains neutral in conflicts across the galaxy and only rarely joins conflicts, unless it either concerns them or if it is a dangerous conflict.

### Ideology

Skonoe's ideology relies on the unity of the people through one identity: Skonoyen. Their belief is that everyone is Skonoyen no matter what species they are because they are from Skonoe. This led to a strict "no foreigners" law, where nobody can enter Skonoe, unless they are a planet leader, political entity, or simply allowed by Skonoe to enter through identification.
