Third Kingdom of Haminea

## Introduction

The Third Kingdom of Haminea is a Lohnean controlled kingdom in the cosmos led directly by an authoritarian government controlled by a single monarch. Under this monarch are several other rulers who control generalized regions of space and beneath them are several lesser lords that control individual star systems or planets. Fascist, nationalist and firm in their belief that the Lohneans are the destined masters of the universe, few live in their society that are not Lohnean. Those that do are often enslaved save for Anubians and humans. The former is held under the belief that Anubians are distant galactic cousins and while still lesser than the Lohnean race they are still above others. Humanity inadvertently earned their privilege due to their conflicts with the Scrin; who the Lohneans believe are the lowest of all and deserve nothing less than the extermination of their entire race.

In the Kingdom of Haminea (also called the Haminean Kingdom or the Third Kingdom), capitalist views dominate the market though they have been twisted enough that the belief emphasizes the importance of the state's economy. Taxation is high in this society and most businesses pay a staggering seventy percent of their income in taxes compared to other capitalist societies such as the USC which typically pay three to four percent.

After the Scrin began to systematically enslave Lohneans that they captured, who had previously been a peace loving and merchant-based society, the chaos was used by the Lohnean Hegemony Party to leverage the populace through fear into voting for stronger border control and a shift towards militaristic ideologies. The ideology caught on quickly and rapidly spread to outlying colonies before inevitably turning and spreading towards Lonhean controlled core worlds. With the shift in political ideology, the Lohnean military began to rapidly expand and eventually waged total war against many other nations of the cosmos including the USC though that war lasted only a few months. Due to the USC's stalwart defense, the offer of white peace rather than subjugation, and of course the USC's tendency to push deep into Haminean lines led to a strange relationship between disdain and allied.

Anubians in Haminean society often immigrate from other nations and already fully and entirely support the ideology presented. Most of these Anubians have a deep-seated hatred for humanity despite the history of their species, a hatred for Scrin and are often younger Anubians rather than older. While living in the Haminean society, Anubians are treated similarly to Lohneans save that they have no control over their reproductive rights, lack the right to own property and the right to marry. They can gain these rights through military service though few Anubians do as they are most often the ones fighting in battles that are heavily one sided and expected to win despite the odds.

Any race other than Anubian, Lonhean or human under this faction are subjected to brutal experimentation, forced labor without pay or more commonly complete extermination. The belief of a superior race is common among the Lohneans that live here though some of them do so because of limited economic opportunities to move elsewhere, are coerced into staying by the government or because they do not know where else to go.

Due to the loss of their language at the hands of the Scrin, Lohneans in this society are instead taught Anubian in its place. Speaking any language other than Anubian, save for with off world traders from other nations, is strictly forbidden by law and punishable by execution. In some cases, it is even punishable by the wiping out of the entire family line. The Haminean kingdom does this to ensure the preservation of Lohnean culture though it is somewhat ironic given that their current culture is made from a diverse number of beliefs that have been taken from other cultures.

The majority of Lohneans in this faction do not live lives with the same quality as other, similarly sized factions. Most citizens share a domicile with many others that are both family and not in subpar dwellings that while robust and made to be very defensible are often lacking in amenities that other factions deem a necessity. Citizens are not allowed to access the Network, are forced into conscription and work sixteen-hour shifts six days a week. The day that they are not working is forcibly spent educating themselves and their children, who often work alongside them, that the Haminean way is the only correct way a society can function.

Tension between the USC and the Hamineans has caused the USC to establish several spy networks within the Haminean ranks. Most often these spy rings are arming fighters within the Haminean kingdom that do not support the current regime or evacuating those who are unwilling or incapable of fighting back. When a safehouse is found by the Hamineans, the USC typically destroys it catastrophically from within and all agents present tend to commit suicide in order to prevent their capture. There are times where agents have, however, been captured and caused tensions to flare up higher. Nevertheless, there are also times where a safehouse has been detected by a higher ranking official and allowed to continue their work in order to remove 'weaklings' from the genetic pool. Some safehouses are even well-known among even common citizens and function more like embassies than spy rings.
