Thernasa

## Founding

Thernasa is a democracy that rules over the planet Kepler-22B. The planet has had continuous inhabitants since the destruction of Earth and was officially named the Democracy of Thernasa. The planet Kepler-22b has majority water on the surface, there is still some land. This made it a good patron for the incoming inhabitants from the destruction of Earth. The planet has been under many destruction ever since the formation of the government. Upon their arrival, many inhabitants had shown up in surprise, leaving the humans to adapt to their world with native inhabitants. The Great Tsunami of Kepler-22b on May 15th, 2022, caused destruction and economic turmoil in the government. It caused 25% of the civilian population to be killed. Four days after the great tsunami, civil unrest erupted since inhabitants heavily criticized the government's response to the tsunami, citing corruption and greed as a factor. Though government forces used non lethal force, many of the non lethal weapons accidentally became lethal projectiles, hitting people in vital areas. This caused injuries and fatalities. Four people were killed and twenty-four people were injured. This caused the protest to come to a halt and officially end. No government official has taken responsibility for the economic failures and failed response to the tsunami. On the same day, a flood of refugees arrived by a neighboring planet that the government has collapsed and is no longer fit for human population. Sixteen thousand refugees arrived on Kepler-22B. This was a shock to the government as they do not have much resources to keep all these people alive. Refugees begged for the government to take them. A shocking decision was made to execute all sixteen thousand refugees, this was because the government could not sustain all the refugees and did not have enough resources to send people back to other planets. A government official was quoted saying, "This is a burden for us, but this will end their misery".

## History

### Tsunami

When the society of Thernasa first started out, they were struck with major problems. The civilization was immediately hit with a tsunami on May 15, 2022, which caused their civilization to struggle. Their immediate response was to set up emergency camps, and try to keep as many people as they could out of danger. The government of Thernasa kept the media at ease by trying to contain untrue details and putting out any statistics they could. By giving their media factual information, it kept people out of risk. In the end, 25% of Thernasa's land and population was lost to the tsunami. Although the outcome wasn’t what they had expected, the loss they faced was a miracle compared to others.

### Potentia

Thernasa’s leader decided to merge with another civilization on Kepler-22b for the reason that they would receive a better supply of resources. Not everyone wanted to merge with Terminus and UIK (United Islands of Kepler), but due to Thernasa being a democratic civilization, the majority of officials voted to, with the benefits such as more resources and a bigger population. Merging with them led to having to sign documents for the HSB, in which they would eventually collaborate to wage war against rebels on May 25, 2022. Even though most of Thernasa’s citizens didn’t sign the papers to fight against the rebels, they still had to due to the merged civilization signing it all for them. But even so, the HSB team still won against the rebels.

### Attempted war with Leocadius

On May 24, 2022, the president of Thernasa declared war upon the civilization of Leocadius. The president made this decision and asked for the opinions from the other representatives. Out of the eight government officials, five agreed to this war. After sending the war documents to the government of Leocadius, they found it invalid and sent it back to Thernasa because the dates for the war were incorrect. The president fixed the documents and kept trying. With Leocadius having one day to respond, they sent the documents again on May 25, 2022 and waited for the reply. On May 26, 2022, there was talk of a war between the HSB and the rebels. Both Thernasa and Leocadius signed with the HSB, making it difficult to fight, ending with the two civilizations signing a peace treaty.

### Refugees

One of the major decisions that the government of Thernasa had to make was with the thousands of refugees that planned to join their society. On May 19, 2022, the HSB sent 16,000 refugees to the planet of Kepler-22b. They accepted this invitation and acquired 16,000 people onto their land. They lived a few days with these new members and had to use a significantly more amount of resources they had been using recently. Eventually the government realized the mistake they had made and began to understand that their civilization couldn’t handle another 16,000 people along with their original members of society. In the end, the government couldn’t gather the resources they needed. This led to the majority of the refugees that they had taken in dying due to starvation. Although many people had died, the government was able to give resources to the people who had originally been there and sustain the people of Thernasa.

### Civil Unrest

On May 19, 2022, the people of Thernasa began to revolt. Because of the tsunami, they had lost 25% of their population and started to lose faith in their government. The government wasn’t able to contain it until three days after it began. Property was damaged and people were hurt. Before this mass destruction started, the government was midway through declaring war. Because of this revolt the officials had to postpone the war to keep their people satisfied. At the end of the unrest four people died and twenty-four were injured, which made the people inhabiting Kepler-22b anxious about the future. It didn’t affect the society in the long run and not significantly, but kept tension between the people and the government of Thernasa because of the outcomes that had occurred.

### Merging

Another selection for Thernasa happened on May 24, 2022, when the government had to vote on whether or not they would merge with another civilization. Out of the eight officials, five voted on unifying The United Islands Of Kepler-22, Terminus, and Thernasa who all inhabited Kepler-22b. Although all of the 8 government members did not agree to this decision, the majority voted to combine, leading to the three nations becoming one. Once this decision was made, the society of Thernasa had a significantly bigger population, more power, and more resources, although it didn’t affect the nation in a crucial way until the war came around. On May 31, 2022, the HSB went to war with rebels. Both groups needed as many nations as they could to defeat the others. By joining groups, Thernasa was automatically put into the HSB side, because the other government officials from The United Islands of Kepler 22 and Terminus decided to sign with the HSB. The government of Thernasa didn’t get the chance to think of whether they wanted to help the HSB or the rebels, leading to them helping the HSB because of the joint groups. Although the government didn’t get the choice between the societies, they ended up winning on the side of the HSB.

## Geography

### Thernasa

The nation of Thernasa is located on a few big islands and several small islands, the main city is in a valley surrounded by two mountain ranges. Each of the mountain ranges contain mountains of varying sizes.

### Map

The map shows a huge ocean with islands of various sizes with most of the islands having rocky terrain or mountains, some of the islands have vegetation but some of them don't have any vegetation.

## Government

### Development

The Government of Thernasa was created with the hope of making a society without pollution, discrimination, war, government corruption, or any mistakes that we have made in the past. Because the government wanted to hear everyone's voices it became a representative democracy where there were seven officials and a president running the government. The beginning laws of Thernasa were published on April 29, 2022, with hope for our human survival and a better future.

### Response to the Elias Tsunami

When the biggest tsunami hit Thernasa many things went into chaos but the eight representative counsels swiftly settled the difficult situation. Within the first few hours after the tsunami, the government set up an emergency base of operations to help facilitate rescue operations and to take care of any injured persons. They also mobilized 100 rescue personnel and the army and navy assisted in rescue and cleanup operations, as well as providing medical equipment and personnel to assist in taking care of any injured persons.

### Response to the Civil Unrest

With everything we have done for our citizens, some citizens did not like the government's responses. Due to losing almost 25% of Thernasa's population. No one knows how the riot started but we clearly know that they hate the government system right now. Due to the riots, the Government deployed National Guard troops to the areas of the revolt to protect people and property not taking part in the revolt. A curfew will be put into place and any outside after the curfew will be politely asked to go home but will be detained if they don’t go home.

### Merge

There were many arguments among the eight officials about whether Thernasa should merge with the two civilizations or not. Some of the officials were arguing that we would lose our culture and civilization. but at that time Thernasa barely had enough wealth to feed to citizens. With the final vote, five officials voted Merge, and three officials voted Don’t merge.

## Economy

###### *Main Article: World hunger*

The nation of Thernasa realized a certain heavy limited amount of food supplies to pass around to the civilians inhabiting Thernasa. Without even a single day passing, Thernasa had descended into a complete panic. The country of Thernasa suffered from world hunger due to a lack of resources. With 16,000 thousand civilians heading towards our country, plus the number of civilians already inhabiting Thernasa, we agreed that we would require a resolution that would solve this crisis. There stood a democratic vote, and we decided to execute all 16,000 thousands refugees to reduce world hunger.

### Distribution

Distribution among the inhabited civilians in Thernasa remained equivalent to interests that would satisfy their human needs. These free goods stand available to the public without limitations like oxygen and water. Otherwise, economic resources are primarily equally distributed among the civilians in Thernasa. In the economy itself, distribution is mainly equally shared in Thernasa, with no higher ranks than others in terms of wealth and resources. Any additional supplies such as food and water are shared equally among the civilians. Without a doubt, more civilians would raise our consumption of resources, meaning the nation of Thernasa would have to invest more additional resources. We would again have to think about equally distributing the food to the civilians of Thernasa whom we don’t have sufficient resources to give out.

### Production

Production in Thernasa’s land factor includes the farming and agriculture of natural resources like common and rare materials. Land factor production satisfies all civilians and the economy, upgrading through higher tiers to achieve higher resources. Agriculture production has cultivated plants or animals living on land producing products for humans. Agriculture production can develop enough food for one thousand people, but with higher tiers, we could further bring more than enough to feed our entire civilization. As the human population increases, the nation of Thernasa is required to gather more resources. However, trade is a valid option if all comes to fail, in which case, we could purchase resources from the HSB. It would authorize us to accumulate enough resources to distribute among the civilians.

### Consumption

Our economic consumption of resources increased the more civilians had inhabited Thernasa. With the number of resources our civilization used, the production of materials and resources are needed to create a stable consumption. To distribute an equal quantity of resources to each civilian, Thernasa had to increase agricultural production after merging alliances with another nation. It means our consumption of resources rate percentage would rise much higher than it already has been. Solutions to maintain a balanced consumption rate would aim toward investing in goods.

## Species

### Corvus/ Hrafn

The Corvus to us humans looks like a giant raven but the hyper intelligent species know it as a mythical beast that can easily strike down their prey. These Corvus are worshiped for their power by hyper intelligent rats that sacrifice their own to feed the Corvus so it does not attack them. It is able to easily match a rat's ability to predict the movements of atoms by throwing fast feathers. The rats see Corvus as a god to not be messed with.

### Why It's Worshiped

The Corvus has the ability to control the air molecules around it to be able to fly around at whatever speed it desires and also while controlling the air molecules it will sometimes spin while hunting to shoot their sharp feathers like homing missiles towards their enemy to either kill or subdue them. They will usually hunt things like rats if they do not have a sacrifice ready or the many sea creatures that are in the vast ocean. Corvus is able to make a wormhole to travel to any place in the universe, using the tail feathers it is able to create and manipulate branes in its body. A brane is an extended object with any given number of dimensions, of which strings in string theory are examples with one dimension. Our universe is a 3-brane. In its belly it makes a gravitational attraction between the objects competes with the resistance coming from the brane tension. For sufficiently strong attraction, the branes are deformed, objects touch and a wormhole is formed. The Corvus confirms humans string theory and with this knowledge the humans worship it in a way not like the rats but as a mutual respect.

The Corvus has a lifespan of 250 years making it last throughout the history of the planet, using its memory to gain more and more knowledge and through generations it passes its knowledge with its perfect memory never forgetting a thing. It is known as a neutral creature but if you break it trust it is not a forgiving creature. It speaks Old Norse that the rats learned and now call it Hrafn.

### Corvus History With Human

Humans were able to befriend one of the younger Corvus which is still in teaching. Since the corvus is younger the rats do not worship it but see it as equal, this relationship helped humans befriend the rats. The rats now help the humans communicate with the Corvus and teach them Old Norse so they can speak fluently to the Corvus. Using the language the Corvus helps hunt, build structures, and travel to farther nations or places of importance.

## Forminimouse

### Brain

Forminimose has a bigger brain than humans. Considering our human brain being 1400–1500 cc, But forminimouse has a brain about 1550-1650cc.　The brain size of Forinimimouse is larger than that of humans, but the frontal lobe of the brain is larger in humans than humans. The frontal lobe is the part of the brain responsible for language, movement, mental activity, etc. Among the frontal lobes, the frontal association cortex is the most important part responsible for thought and founding. It is responsible for human-like thinking, such as the ability to see into the future, making plans based on this ability, the concept of altruism, and socialization.  unlike humans, They have a brain that knows the present position and momentum of every atom in the world, that being would be able to calculate the incidental changes of these atoms by using physics and therefore would be able to completely predict what the future state will be.

### Language

The evolution of their language is fascinating. At first, they developed a language like humans where it follows the natural language where the word groups that make up the utterance are aligned along the time axis. Their language went beyond the natural language. They have the specification of XYZ coordinates built into their language, and according to that specification, they can move freely in and out of three-dimensional space. They use these 3D languages to reason with a new axiomatic system called "complex logic”.

### Habitat

The rats have a colony with a population ranged form a few thousand to a few million. In a colony, only a few males, called "kings," and one female, called "queens," reproduce. Many other individuals are called "worker rats," and their gonads never develop and they are unable to produce gametes. This social structure is called eusociality. They usually feed on fish like creatures from the ocean and eat all around the year. Durring the winter season Forminimouse uses hibernation, to slow down the metabolic activities like body temperature heard rate, breating animal's body temperature, heart rate, breathing, to conserve energy.

## Taula

### Characteristics

Taula are the few species that inhabit Kepler-22b. They are only seen when its dark out, this creature is a blessing to see. Taula have skin that reacts to light making them viewed as a bright glowing half deer half human when seen under the moon and stars. Scientists have not gathered enough research to find out what the cause of this is but some believe it could be to the spiritual practice these creatures are involved with. Going back to their appearance, Taulas have three eyes. One being on the forehead and the other two in the same position as what a human's eye would be in. Although most of the time Taula’s keep their third eye closed, it’s still very rare to see the third eye open as it’s believed to be very powerful and connects them to their spiritual practices. Their skin is a gradient of colors ranging from pink-dark purple which makes them very unique from another natural toned species on Kepler-22b. Taulas also have a very special nose that they breathe with. It is not the traditional nose a human would have, it is instead two slits where each nostril would be at. Most of the time taulas cover their slits with a piece of cloth showing a symbol on it but that could also be because of their spiritual practices. Sprouting off of their heads are giant thin antlers that dangle a special “string” or at least what it looks like. These strings are very colorful and appear like they could be the hair of these species. Taula’s also have long legs similar to what a deer could have, hooves as feet and a horse-like thigh. You can always see them wearing a dreamcatcher on their waist made of the same material as their string that dangle from their antlers.

### Spirit

Scientists observed enough to know that these dreamcatchers aren’t ordinary dreamcatchers and instead are pieces that hold spiritual power. These dreamcatchers glow and shine while the taulas dance under the moonlight. Every dreamcatcher seen on a taula is also seen with a crystal-like object tied to it as well as a different string pattern for each one which scientists believe that each design represents something different for each taula. Taulas are also seen wearing a tooth like necklace that holds connection with more than one taula as scientists have seen taulas give each other charms to add to their necklaces.

## **Phychomorpha**

### Anatomy

Phychomorpha has the organs that would typically be seen on a shark, specifically the great white shark. The creature has gills that allow it to breathe under the waters of Kepler-22b. The gills are located on the side of the creature’s head. These gills have many small blood vessels in its gills called capillaries. When the creature opens its mouth, the capillaries pick up oxygen that is dissolved in the water from when water runs over its gills. The creature also has fins that help it move in Kepler-22b’s water. Fins can help the creature do many types of things. Phychomorpha has two dorsal fins, two pectoral fins, two pelvic fins, a cloacal fin and a caudal fin. These many fins are used for stabilizing, steering, lift, and propulsion.

### Senses

Phychomorpha has all of the senses that most underwater creatures would need. It isn’t too different from creatures on Earth, because they both live in a very similar environment. Phychomorpha has adapted to eat less than these creatures though, as there is more of a scarcity of creatures on Kepler-22b, than there is on Earth. It is also quite a bit smarter than these animals too, as it is capable of creating structures and homes for itself using stray ocean rocks. It can also smell other creatures from very far away, due again to the fact that the oceans of Kepler-22b do not have many creatures, so when it needs food, it can find it easier. Its sight is decent, as when locating food, it’s sense of smell does most of the work, however it can still see decently well, and it can also see decently well at night aswell. They are able to see in the dark due to the immense amount of rods that they have in their eyes. The great amount of rods in their eyes allow them to receive more of the light that is available, which helps them see better in places where there may not be too much light.

### Habitat

Phychomorpha lives in the oceans of Kepler-22b. Kepler-22b is a rocky planet, so while the creature does not have to deal with the rocks as much as other land creatures do, it still has to live with many tall rocks in the oceans. They never need to fear habitat loss, due to the fact that most of the planet is their habitat. Rocky oceans cover a majority of the planet, because it is a rocky planet, and most of the planet is covered with water. These creatures stay away from shallow shores, and tend to stay in the deep oceans.

### Relationship with Humans

Phychomorpha has not interacted much with humans, as it is quite aggressive when it sees one. It has existed on the planet for a lot longer than the humans have been there, so they don’t know much about them and tend to try and keep humans away from where they live, which would be the deep oceans. It does not care to follow humans away from its habitat, so once something like a boat goes away from one, it doesn’t tend to care enough to continue attacking it. It does not necessarily have a good relationship with humans, however it doesn’t really have a terrible one either. Overall, they do not interact much, and they both just live their lives separately, without helping or harming each other.

## Thumper

### Characteristics

The Thumper is an alien species that inhabits Kepler-22b. Its red skin contrasts the green planet of Kepler and its body resembles that of a human. The Thumper has longer arms and can run on all fours, almost like a gorilla. They are also light to run faster because the gravity on Kepler-22b is two times more than Earth's. The major organs found on Thumpers are the lungs, the heart, the brain, the larynx, and the muscles. The lungs help the Thumper to breath on Kepler-22b because there are high levels of hydrogen and nitrogen, while the heart helps to get them moving, keeping the body alive and healthy. The brain helps the Thumper to think, which is why they have high intellectual skills and can create things that benefit their civilization. And of course, the muscles help the Thumper to move and fight. Since there is twice as much gravity on Kepler-22b as there is on Earth, the Thumpers have to be stronger in order to move as much. Muscles also help to get their food. While having high intellect is helpful for catching prey, having a lot of muscle can also help to fight for their prey.

### Civilizations

The Thumper live in caves where they fit packs of about fifteen. The houses are made of stone that is found on Kepler-22b and the doors are cloth-like made from plants from their planet. Their houses are lit with fire, held by a log and a stone, filling their caves with light. Their architecture is a dome-like structure held by stone, and big enough for the Thumpers.

## Media

The media is an important part of a society. It is an important way to spread information across a territory. It is how people learn about things happening around them. In many nations, there are two main ways that media is run, either independent media, or state-run media. The key difference between state-run media, and independent media, is that a country with state-run media will only allow its citizens to listen to media provided by its government. This means that the government may purposefully spread information that may be false, and convince its people that they are telling the truth. This may also be used to cover up information, and not let anyone know about some things that the government may not want the people to know.

Independent media is different because it allows individuals to publish their own media. This means that anyone can spread any information that they want to. This makes it incredibly difficult for the government to try and hide some things, if all it takes is one person to publish their findings. In the nation of Thernasa, there is a combination of independent, and state-run media. This means that the civilians in the country have multiple ways of receiving news through different media sources. While they can listen to government media, they also have the option to listen to independent journalists if they choose to.

### The First Media Response

One of the first pieces of state-run media that our country published, was a response to the nation’s preamble and constitution. The media response was created to be informative, without any bias to mainly inform the public about the important documents that were published. The media response predominantly reiterates what the constitution says in a more quick, and article-like format. The only bit of bias in the article is to make the points the constitution makes look better, as a way to indirectly encourage people to listen to laws and rules that the constitution set in place. It did make the things that the government was enacting seem more favorable, however so far it was not in bad taste.

### Media Response to Tsunami

There then wasn’t much of a reason for the state-run media to respond to any events, until the next major event happened, a tsunami. When the tsunami occurred, the state-run media acted quickly, to inform the population about the general situation. It was also to inform people who had, or may have been affected. At first, the information was quite short in length, however it was due to the fact that the information had been dispensed rapidly. This made it so while the information was factual, it was limited due to the fact that the event was still developing.

The media response even slightly overdramatized the events, to show that the situation was urgent. This media response would not only share statistics, but it would also try and act as a guide to help people understand how they can keep themselves and others safe. In our media response, the government tried to be as most helpful as they could. There was no political bias throughout the media responses, as it was a dire situation, in which there was no time to be wasted relating it to things that didn’t relate to the circumstances.

### Media Response to Civil Unrest

Eventually the disaster ended, and reparation of the country had commenced. The country’s media could relax for a bit, but not for long. Soon enough, protests took place across the country, and the government needed to issue a statement. The people of the nation were not happy with how the government was being run and the government was doing. In order to combat the uprisings, the government issued a state-run media response, that would suppress information, and support the government. The government would make sure to make the citizens believe that they were in the wrong, and were unreasonable, while the government was correct.

The government would proceed to make the citizens believe that the government was simply unable to provide them with the change that they wanted. The government would try and make the people believe that the changes that they wanted didn’t need to happen, and that the government was doing well enough in its current state. This was done to not only make the government seem correct, but also to mend the government’s relationship with the people of the country.

### How the Government Influenced Independent Media

That was the last media response to an event that the government ever wrote for the people of the nation. While there was at least one more big event in the country, the government did not provide a media response. The government did not have any amount of power over what the independent media said, however, due to low communication tier levels, the independent media couldn’t say much. The media responses created by the government were convincing and helpful to the citizens of Thernasa. Overall, the media was vastly important for the people of Thernasa to have knowledge on what was going on in the country, and it was also helpful to the government, as due to this, they had more power over the people of their country.
