Aurancripha

The Federation of Aurancripha  commonly called Aurancripha, is a loose federation of nations on the planetoid in the Southeast of Valkyur. Aurancripha covers 147 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 30 million. Aurancripha comprises of number of nations; Auran, Nephocripha, and Dozer Place.

The Federation of Aurancripha is a set of three nation's all occupying the same geographic area which due to logistical and cultural reasons they must work together in spite of the fact that they simply have no desire to do so and would probably be at war if said logistical or cultural problems were not present. Each of them contain a completely unique race of people with their own set of goals, morals, and standards.

## **Etymology**

Aurancripha is a combination of Auran and Nephocripha

The standard way to refer to a citizen of Aurancripha is as a "'toids" or "Angel" or "Nephilim".

## **Geography**

To understand the nature of Aurancripha one must first understand the biggest reason they are all together: The planetoid and the portal, the mace and the scalpel of forced integration. The planetoid is a large, 200 km in diameter gravitational anomaly that has formed a small planet with it's own terrain, atmosphere and gravity, comparable to Super Mario Galaxy in execution. The planetoid was formed after a great battle with the Huangdi in which the Invaders, nearly at the point of defeat, tried to perform a suicidal maneuver to maybe get out alive. It did not work, instead causing their gravitational tech to cascade into a miniature gravity source that overrid the main planets gravitational pull. The nearby island of Auran along with some of the main continent and the ocean were pulled in to create a new planet. The planet itself resembles earth to a degree and is very much habitable. The planet is slowly being inhabited by pioneer species due to the fact that most of the surface is bare rock.

## **Auran**

### **Overview**

The nation of Auran is the oldest nation among the three, being the only one to have resided there before the Huangdi invasion. The angels are the most stubborn and idealistic of the three, believing themselves to have been sent by their god The Almighty to rid the main planet of immorality and evilness. Before the gravity shift or as they call it, the second cataclysm Auran was an independent nation residing on a small island and were moral interventionalists with a fair military to back them up. After being invaded by the Huangdi for their strategic importance in the ongoing war and the gravitational anomaly happened Auran was converted into a more diplomatic and compromising nation due to their inability to invade anyone. But Auran still trains soldiers for small scale operations against criminal and demonic threats to Valkyur and are willing to contract their angels as bodyguards or humanitarian workers.

### **Biology**

Comparatively to the two other races of Aurancripha the

    ‘Angels’ as they are called would be the most normal. Being the first ones created from the portal they were originally designed by a greater being to counter modern tactics and instil a heavy sense of morality on each of them. Both of these goals failed in their own way. To make them better in combat Angels were designed to have an extremely resilient outer shell resembling skin that is able to take napalm levels of heat and most normal calibre bullets or lower. While this sounds good on paper its applications in actual war were lacking, the only thing being of use is their ability to regenerate wounds much faster than normal and in the heat of battle can keep them going for longer periods of time. They also have wings which are relatively useless and are usually clipped off early in their life.

### **Government**

Auran originally was a full standard oligarchy that had a command economy and a tight hold under every angel. Now this grip has loosened slightly due to foreign influence, causing their government to shift towards a more democratic version of an oligarchy instead of a strict Leninist nation. Angels have the ability to vote for new seats in each respective office after their death or stepping down. Angels also can run for said offices if they desire, although to do so they must first pass a litany of academic and physical tests to prove their worth that must be trained before hand in their little free time or they are lucky enough to be one of the few assigned researchers with the academic knowledge already at hand.

### **Foreign Policy**

Auran prefers to stay neutral in almost every situation unless not intervening would be morally wrong, which they would do everything in their power to be on the side of morality. (morality for them is warped though, so they aren’t exactly doing a good thing)

### **Economy**

Aurans economy is very simple and of little variety, primarily doing simple manufactured goods, weapons, and anything that is considered generally dangerous. There is also a very small sector of private military that can be contracted as body guards. They also oddly enough have a small thriving animation industry that takes advantage of the Angels efficient work ethic, although the resulting works are always serviceable and not much more.

## **Nephocripha**

### **Overview**

The second oldest of the three, but not by much, Nephocripha is the antithesis to Auran. Whilst Auran is a commanding oligarchy, Nephocripha is a democratic republic similar to the United States. Comprised of a more demonic people called Nephilim with grey skin, black horns, and the ability to summon demons within darkness.

### **Biology**

The Nephilim are arguably much more powerful than the

   Angels when given an appropriate situation to use them. Besides their grey skin and black horns the Nephilim are fairly normal physically. What really sets them apart from , angels is their natural aptitude for magic. Being born from an ancient force of darkness they can call upon this force to summon lesser demons within pitch blackness in near endless droves to do their bidding. These demons are entirely made of magic and are a bit frail in comparison to a human but are extremely dangerous in large numbers and are even more useful for performing physical labor. To help with the fact that they can only be built in darkness, the Nephilim have more cones in their eyes that allow them to see much beyond the visible spectrum, which helps since demons are not affected by infrared or ultraviolet light. The downside for all of this power being that the Nephilim are extremely free spirited and have little respect for authority.

### **Government**

Since Nephocriphas conception the nation's government had reflected the ways of the Nephilim. The people have little restriction in what they do besides the obvious like stealing, murder, etc. But this comes with the price of having little restriction on companies and almost everything besides the police being privatised.  There is a congress and a president though which can make sweeping restrictions as needed (although these are usually not desired).

### **Foreign Policy**

Nephocripha is much more open then Auran, heavily trying to encourage tourism and trading of luxuries into their country. They are constantly being restricted by the 'Small World Diumvirate’ or SWT in order to not make deals that would ultimately detriment Aurancripha as a whole and if it wasn't for the incorruptible nature of Angels Nephocripha would have had a lot more control over the diplomatic scene.

### **Economy**

While Auran is the primary exporter of simple manufactured goods and weapons, Nephocriphas economy relies much more heavily on services, tourism, office work, and production of much more niche specialized goods. Although this is not entirely the case as Nephocripha has just as much resources as Auran so some minor amount of exportation they do themselves. The biggest reason for this lack of manufactured goods is due to there being absolutely no motivation among the people to work monotonous 'boring’ jobs.

## **Dozer Place**

### **Overview**

Dozer place is essentially an island where a species of miniature roundish green people reside. Standing at an inch tall, these people are obsessed with anything involving building structures and will go out of their way to make their structures as grandiose as possible. It's not accurate to call the people a nation as they merely think of themselves as a population of tiny people who just love building who just apparently live on an island. The only reason they have not been destroyed yet is because of the fact that it is immoral to do so and they do not hurt anything existing. They have become a sort of cultural icon to Aurancripha, appearing on their seal and flag.

### **Biology**

While their green bodies and rounded features are unique,

   it's nothing compared to the remarkable feat of having an extremely tiny brain within a one inch tall body whilst also retaining an intelligence higher then any member of the animal kingdom besides man itself. They seem to only apply this intelligence to building though, so while they have discovered electricity and metallurgy they have little development of healthcare, theoretical physics, philosophy, or even general economics. Their only motivation seems to be building, and they do this very well. They are borne from a fleshy volcano made of corpses that seems to churn them out robotically.

### **Government**

They do not have any real form of government, seemingly brought together by their common interest of building.

### **Foreign Policy**

Unless it's related to building they don't care.

### **Economy**

They provide little to no service to Aurancripha as a whole, sometimes taking building directions upon request but besides that aren't organized enough to utilize their building talents outside of building infrastructure on their main island. With that said, they are interesting to study and the only consistent form of income they give are drones that fly over head and record them working, which is broadcasted to it's own separate TV channel with ads to generate revenue. People commonly turn this on to fall asleep or out of sheer boredom.

## **Small World Diumvirate**

Due to the three nation's odd standings with each other, they must stand together as one entity. When major decisions must be made two representatives are picked from each nation, commonly the arch angel or president but sometimes being someone else depending on the circumstances. There they meet to discuss what the direction of both nation's shall go and if both sides unanimously agree they technically hold more power then all governments combined. If not all decisions are decided by a vote by all citizens, with Aurancriphas votes being worth more due to their low population with the decision only needing a simple majority in order to win.

## **Joint Military**

The Aurancripha military relies heavily on planet side instalments to intercept air attacks with radar constantly watching all angles of Aurancripha for potential Invaders. Aurancripha also has an extensive air Force for intercepting naval ships and potentially bombing planetoid side Invaders. Both Auran and Nephocripha have compulsory military service for 2 years which is enforced by the SWD.
