## History

### Formation

9 AL

**The Saloria Republic** is a very cybernetically enhanced civilization, and one of the earliest, where the people are given cybernetic implants that help them survive in the Poseidon Galaxy. The small mutation they had suffered ironically also help them with the survival of cybernetic procedures that enables their chances of living in the Poseidon Galaxy. They developed on the Saloria continent of the continental moon, Sukara, of Juda Primaris.

## History

After the "Great Exodus", a strange giant wormhole appeared while en route to the Alpha Centauri System back in the Milky Way Galaxy. This wormhole sucked in every single ship of every ship of all the fleets. This includes the Polo Flotilla, and the ship, *The Violet Star of Hope*. Everyone onboard, along with the rest of the fleet, woke-up in a strange galaxy with a miasma of stellar substances, nebulae gases, The Shroud, and many unknowns that makes it beautiful and deadly. Everyone were in total awe when they emerged from their cryopods, yet they started to notice they were developing mutations that were slowly killing them. This included the admiral onboard *The Traveling Venetian*, who had succumb to his illnesses and died. So Captain Coronato La Fazia called the other captains, including Captain Lila Steward, for an emergency meeting.

Captain La Fazia suggests that they use the experimental augmentations onboard their ships while the probes survey each and every moon for suitable locations to settle. Captain Lila Steward was a bit reluctant, but in order to save her people, she had to. So everyone aboard *The Violet Star of Hope* had to take cybernetics while mutating in order to survive. What happened was the creation of a new race of cyborgs with a few mutations that allow them to survive both the procedure and the new environment. Not only that, many fused with some of the artificial intelligence units they had that makes them smarter, create better cognitive capacities, and are more efficient. This created, the Yiklos.

Afterward, the newly created Yiklos headed over the continent, Saloria, on the moon of Sukara. They worked nine years to make the area they landed home as they establish their own internet, which later founded the Saloria Republic. Rather than the normal form of democracy, they use their new internet to cast their votes. Later on, the Yiklos of the Saloria Republic have abandoned the ideas of religion and spiritualism for they find it childish and has no merit in the republic.

In 100 AL, this clashed with their polar opposite, Shafalaq Republic. This republic from the other side of Sukara have genetic and organic engineering, have a spiritual foundation and have psychic powers. To the people of Saloria, they find it immoral in their eyes. Same with the Zuborgo of the Shafalaq Republic, who view the lack of spirituality as heresy. And so, The Darwinist War had begun that lasted for only three years and was brought to a stalemate. When the war ended, a political barrier was made known as, "The Separatist Wall", to keep each other out of their territories. That is until the formation of the Juda Federation that broke everything down and have both sides risen up to the stars. Despite the peaceful agreement, both the Saloria Republic and the Shafalaq Republic still have some grievances.

## Culture

The culture of the Saloria Republic is focus on the development and research of technology that help them get past their normal limits, including the creation of cybernetics. The people of Saloria prefer to enhance themselves in a physical sense since they believe that spirituality is nothing more than childish nonsense for those who fear advancement. The Saloria Republic has the most advance cybernetics in the Juda Federation. To the Salorai Republic, cybernetics are necessary for survival.

The Saloria Republic is also home to various corporations with a multitude of contracts with the government that assist with the research and development of new technologies as well as a few electronic consumer goods for the public. However, the government also induce policies to prevent corruption within the corporations and the government themselves. Many members are given special chips to ensure that there is none of that. It is the law in the Saloria Republic.

People of the republic view technology and rationality as their salvation in the Poseidon Galaxy. They view biological and genetic engineering immoral and have no patience with spirituality that would hamper progress. This is why they couldn't stand the Shafalaq Republic and their ways.

The architecture and aesthetics are largely cyberpunk with some sci-fi elements taken from the Cybran Nation from Supreme Commander.

## Economy

The main currency of the Saloria Republic is coin. It is a digital form of currency that can be gained from work, gaming and/or trading physical goods.

Much of the economy of the Saloria Republic comes from scientific development as well as the development of cybernetics. They also make very intricate consumer electronics as well as sell special VR electronics that would allow anyone to gain access to their internet without the need of cybernetic enhancements. This also allow people to make some Salorian Coin from video games and buy in-game products as well as a few electronic goods that are only available in the Saloria Republic.

## Politics

The leader of the Saloria Republic is a President, who holds absolute authority alongside the Salorian Congress. There are 231 members of Congress that represents each territory, three for each. Yet that number is growing as they head out to space. However, some of them are members of the Juda Parliament.

The voting system is digitally based with numerous of programs to ensure a fair election and no double votes, cheating, or any form of hacking.

## Geography

The Saloria Republic is located on the continent of Saloria on the eastern side of the moon, Sukara. The capital itself is located in Joseph's Valley, located between Yullanos Peaks and Zek'nar Peaks where they mine deep in the mountains. The southern part of the continent has a large desert with sand flowing like rivers. Surprisingly though, there are powerful auroras that can be seen once every three weeks.
