## Other Information

### Description

A republic made of people that are not wanted or escaped from oppression or any form of trouble.

The **Republic of Exilios**, referred to as **Exilios**, is a federal republic that has been founded after the people of Big Sky Mountain Enclave have been banished when the second phase of the apocalypse came. The first people were humans, dwarves of Lord of the Rings, Witcher and Warcraft; Mudokons and Vortigaunts that escaped slavery, and Annelids from Men in Black. But it has grown popular and became one of the founders of The United Confederacy of Exiles.

## History

### Big Sky Enclave

Before the apocalypse came, some of the survivors lead by Marcus Silversword made their way at the Big Sky Mountain Village after it was abandoned. While there, they found Federation shuttles and a few mechs from Titanfall that provided a huge boon for the survivors. Especially when they had to deal with all kinds of threats such as Slendermen, Siren Heads, shadow people and prehistoric beasts. They may have lost a few good survivalists but they managed to stay alive. They tried to get settled in the resort as they prepare for winter.

Rebuilt some of the cottages and cabins, transformed the Shoshone Condos into a hospital, and the Summit at Big Sky was turned into an administrative office. Even the ski lifts were turned into radio antennas to gather information from outside sources to understand what was going on. While doing so, the Mudokons and Vortigaunts appeared along the roads that were looking for sanctuary. Marcus agreed to let them stay as long as they pull their weight like everyone else. The two races agreed as well. The Mudokons used the skills they got from their former job (slave jobs) alongside their spiritual powers to heal the sick and injured alongside teleportation with their chants. The Vortigaunts used their electrokinesis to help with the generators, recharge batteries and keep the mechs working while also using their teleportation and their gravity to get some building materials and supplies from place to place. The Annelids appeared, four of them, starting running the cafe at the Huntley Lodge in exchange for coffee. Not long after, a hundred dwarves appeared and willing to help.

However, as they were getting properly settled, the United Nation States of America was formed and the second wave of the apocalypse came as the entire world shook. A few minutes after, soldiers of the Republic of Pacifica came and forced everyone out of the resort. The people lost their home, lost their new life in a new nation that was forming. All were taken to the moon to be transported to another planet via stargates alongside many micronations.

### Exile & New Founding

The people banished were sent into a completely different solar system in a new galaxy. A world that is similar to Earth but some differences such as two habitable moons with one of them being a fog world while the other is a forest world.

The world they appeared on has some areas that have vehicles, furnishings and objects from the Fallout series yet many locations are largely based on State of Decay. As such, there is a special type of zombie they encountered while trying to settle in. This new type of zombie is a composition of the Rage Virus from 28 Days Later, the Blood Plague from State of Decay 2, the Cordyceps Brian Infection from The Last of Us, and the Harran Virus from Dying Light. These creatures dwell in the darkest areas of settlements as they are weak towards UV lighting and turn to ash when exposed.

While dealing with the zombies and expanding the new nation, Marcus Silversword managed to make contact with other exiles and the micronations that were doing all they can to survive in the new worlds. These include Molossia, Libertad, Ladonia, Aercia, and New Kickassia of the forest moon. It was all possible thanks to Linkara, aboard his ship, Comicron-1. Marcus made a proposal to all the representatives and leaders of these nations to create a unified force with many other exiles and those forced to leave. A supranational union with a lack of authoritarian control with each nation bringing forth something to guarantee their survival in a strange galaxy. They were impressed, but in order to make it work, Marcus has to send some help with people that have the power to control and manipulate reality around them. He agreed.

As they did, a flood of refugees and impoverish outcasts were sent in via the stargates. They told the new nations about everything that had happen. The United Nations & Creations said that the reason why they were kicked out is because the nations say that they had to make room for other creations even though they now have space travel to place people somewhere else. Others turn out to be disgruntled and don't wanna follow the UN&C, saying it is more of a scam. No one knows the official reason as of yet, but they expected there is something big going on. Something pulling the strings of everyone that is part of the UN&C.

But Marcus decided to put a pin on that until they fully established the new nation and try to convince many other nations to join the United Confederacy of Exiles. On the 1st of November, the Republic of Exilios was founded after passing many bills and laws that Marcus tries to see what form of government to create since settling in Big Sky. When all is said and done, Exilios joined the United Confederacy of Exiles.

## Government

In the early stages, Marcus Silversword was the driving force and leading figure from humble beginnings as a doomsday prepper leader to the president he is today. He stated that Exilios should work as a federal constitutional liberal presidential republic. A new nation that functions as the United States was originally intended. A democratic nation where all can vote no matter your class, race, sex or how many appendages they have. A constitution where all are treated as equals and eliminate all prejudice.

The President of Exilios has authority to interstellar development and discovery, foreign affairs, and defense and shares it with the Cabinet.

### Executive Branch

Exilios' executive office is headed by the President, who also serves as the head of state, who has a strong authority with the Cabinet. The President also serves as the head of the Cabinet of Exilios, which acts as the federal executive governing body of the republic. The President serves up to three years and do two terms as long as they retain the confidence of a majority in the Legislation of Exilios. Once the President's term is up, a new president can be elected.

### Legislative Branch

The Legislation of Exilios is the legislative branch of Exilios that is divided into the Upper House of Senators and Lower House of Representatives. This body holds major political power within the republic. They are in charge of making laws and passing bills that are voted or vetoed.

The Upper House of Senators are comprised of senators, which is ten in total. Two for each state. They are chosen by popular vote and serve for six years and only one term. Each member of the senate is to act as the voice of the state. While officially the Upper House of Senators, it is first only in order of precedence for the purposes of protocol. While the Upper House can introduce legislation, it is mean to act as a place of "sound minded thoughts".

The Lower House of Representatives members are apportioned to the states by size and is therefore seen as representing the population of the republic. It is made up of fifteen representatives divided among the ten states and that number will grow when expanding into new colonies of different planets. Members are elected every two years and must be the equivalent of the human age of twenty-five or more.

The legislation requires the approval of both houses of Legislation before it can proceed to become law. In order to maintain stability, the Legislative Guard and Investigations Office (LGIO) monitors the communications and accounts of each member of the Legislation to ensure no backhand deals or corruption were to take place in order to safeguard the republic. It maybe a invasion of privacy, but it is a signed consent agreement when joining the political world to make sure that all members are there for the people and not just for any organization, committee or for themselves. Even the President is being monitored as well. The Legislation of Exilios may lack any history, tradition and precedence, but the people stand united to ensure safety and stability as well as a refuge for all that were exiled.

### Judicial Branch

The Court of Supreme Justice is the judicial branch of the republic.

## Economy

The main currency of Exilios is the zucrom. The symbol of the zucrom is a Z with a small X in the middle. It can be hard to tell and requires a closer look.

### Agriculture

Exilios is largely agricultural and rural with many farmlands and forests. The three forms of wheat that is farmed is rice, wheat and barley with rice being the number one grain product. Many of the forests are left untouched and turned into nature reserves by some of the religions of Exilios. So some of the farmlands were converted into large forests to plant trees that will grow, mature, cut down and turn into lumber. Thanks to Minecraft mod Growmeal, the nation can have fully grown trees within minutes.

Many forms of lumber are used in construction and repair some of the old settlements. Other, more valuable timber, is used to trade. This includes blue ivory, ebony, sandalwood and many more. Some of them are even used for decorative pieces, furniture and religious works and trinkets. There are also a large number of orchards that produce a lot of fruit and nuts, even tropical ones that grow in special greenhouses in the cities. They also produce a large number of cocoa and curry leaves.

They don't just produce wood, fruit, grains and nuts. They also have many vegetables growing as well with the four biggest being fevered peppers from Subnautica: Below Zero that are traded with nations and colonies in cold environments, tomatoes for a variety of dishes, hydrangetables from Toriko which can grow in most areas and produce flowers that are actually vegetables which are handy for famine, and bacchus onions, also from Toriko, is popular in bars and taverns as they get turned into fried onion rings with alcohol in it. Coffee was also a cash crop in Exilios as the Annelid race farmed a multitude of fields and vertical farming facilities.

### Mining

Thanks to the dwarves, lots of deep mining can be done without too much damage to the environment. Many raw minerals and metals have been mined and processed to be used for a variety of goods. The more they dug, the mines become massive cities of commerce, industry and progress with many dwarven scientists discovering new alloys from the unknown metals that are used in ships, weapons and armor. Many mages and scientists use the underground labs to conduct research with very little interference from the many distractions on the surface.

Natural gases have been collected and refined to be use as fuel for vehicles, heating and powering the dwarven cities, and to be made into a new type of isotope. That isotope is helium-3, an isotope use for powering ships. Uranium and plutonium were mined to make nuclear fission power rather than being used to make nuclear missiles. Gold was also mined to be used for processors while some of the dwarves used it to fill their coffers since there is a large gold deposit in Brâgha Plundrumm Range (Great Plunder Range in dwarvish).

To the south sharing the borders of Molossia, there is a massive salt flat desert that is blue-purplish in color that is no larger than the Red Sea yet even deeper. Much of this salt is harvested to be used in a variety of ways. Some of it is used for cooking because of the health benefits since it is rich in potassium. Others use it for trade with the other nations or use it for dyeing and bleaching products. Exilios and Molossia have an agreement that each of the country will use the two halves of this wonderful substance.

### Commercial & Businesses

As a new nation, there are only very few companies and large scale businesses in the nation. For space exploration, a company known as Star Forging took the role and create ships that have unique bird designs to them. Many of them are dwarves that work on these ships as well as being the number one starship manufacturing plant in the republic. Yet the business has expanded to deep space research, asteroid mining, zero-gravity products and drone development.

Zugata Bank is the largest bank in Exilios with three other major banks such as Hiroto Bank, The Bank of Midas Gold, and Amaral Banking Clan. Zugata, however, also owns a private military called Zugata Militia Industries. Hiroto Bank also have their own line of automobiles in their auto company, Hiroto Autos. Exilios also supports a free market. However, the government also have their own businesses such as Flying Serpent Airlines (commercial airlines and aircraft manufacturing), Sakura-el-Hasan Studios (anime and video game company), and Gengxin Farming Inc. (agriculture and produce research).

### Energy

The majority of the country comes from a variety of sources. 21% of it comes from natural gases, 25% comes from solar energy, 15% comes from wind energy, 10% comes from nuclear fission reactors, and the last percent comes from magic and hydrogen generators. The hydrogen actually comes from waste processing facilities that burn non-recyclables into hydrogen particles that are used to power the plasma burners and some of the electrical grids. The whole country is running on green, non-pollutant energy technology.

### Transportation

Fission-powered and electric automobiles operate the public roads alongside a few drone technological cars and motorcycles. Exilios rank number 30th in non-greenhouse automotive industry in the Confederacy. Electrical trains support much of the transportation of goods throughout the country and is ranked number 15th in the Confederacy. Flying vehicles and airlines rank the number one transportation in the country but rank 29th in the Confederacy. Exilios rank number 9 in the space industry with their fast interstellar ships.

## Culture & Society

Exilios is a free and liberal republic where everyone can express themselves. Freedom of expression is celebrated with absolutely no prejudice no matter your race, age, culture, heritage, or taste in art. It is a major blend of races and culture throughout history and creation that supports the idea of pan-culturalism. The idea of the union of all people and their cultures, no matter if they're human or not. All are treated equal in this republic no matter where they're from as they bring their traditions and heritage to add into the blending of others. It also celebrates a mix of religions and artworks as well.

People can take pride in their heritage no matter the shame. Mixing cultures and traditions to make new ones is the norm and it is welcoming. Exilios is proud to accept anyone of any race or culture as long as they don't start trouble or bring trouble. If you want to take pride in your heritage and culture and share it; go to Exilios. As a result, you get an artistic blend of various cultures of Latin American, Turkish, African, Indian, traditional Chinese, Japanese, Greek, dwarven and others in the architect, artwork, and lifestyles. However, otaku culture is the most popular culture in Exilios.

Exilios also has a great respect for their natural surroundings and nature itself. This is supported by some of the nature worshiping religions such as Naturalism and Buddhist-Sarnaism being one of the major ones. Naturalism is a blend of Japanese Shintoism, European Druidism, and African and Native American Shamanism. Buddhist-Sarnaism is based on the teachings of Buddhism and the worshiping of the groves of Sarnaism. Isekaist is also a very popular religion among the citizens with promises of a new life after death thanks to many anime and manga series that fall in that genre. Christianity, Judaism and Islamism followers decided to band together and go back to the roots of their religions. So, Abrahamism was made that unite the three rather than being separated and divided. As there is no official religion, many forms of religions are welcome in Exilios to prevent any form of religious superiority. Magic is also acceptable in Exilios with many scholars able to conduct many forms of magical research with no limits.

People are accepting and more open minded towards other races. Even to species that have been looked upon with shame and disdain from where they're from. This includes the Half-Helghans from the Killzone series that have been ostracized by both Helghans and humans alike. This makes Exilios even more popular.

## Military

In the military, every soldier depends on one another to survive and make it back home. If you are a racist or prejudice, you are given a dishonorable discharge. The president is commander-in-chief of the Exilios Armed Forces and appoints its leaders, the military secretary and the Joint Armed Staff. The Department of Defense administers the five branches, which are made up the Army, Navy, Space Corps., Marine Corps., and Air Force. The Army is the administrator of the Department of Home Security in both wartime and peacetime. All members of the military are volunteers with no conscription.

The Navy is small due to the fact that Exilios only have a small portion of land that connects to the Strigox Ocean on the Ursara Continent of Edoria. The portion of land is roughly fifteen miles long with a wide river where freighter ships come in. However, military exercises for the Navy is done on Kami Island and Zulu Island which is roughly three miles off the coast of the Ursara Continent. They also train alongside the naval branch of the Marine Corps. on these islands as well as survival training.

The Space Corps. have their own branch known as the Pioneer Recon & Adventurer Colonization Unit, P.R.A.C.U. (pronounced praku), specialize in reconnaissance and exploring the new galaxy as well as colonize worlds to create new states.
