### Geography

This section goes over the geography of this world. This moon is a temperate terra that has marine and terrestrial life, and as later described in the article, a civilization. This civilization lives on a “C-wet/humid temperate terra”, meaning that the biomes on this world are generally more tropical/cold and wet in nature, excluding the polar regions, which we would come to later. The moon is identified to have 9 main biomes, these biomes are: Dry tropical grassland, Tropical grasslands, Humid Taiga, Humid hills, Evergreen swamp, Freshwater depression, Mountainous glacier, and Polar ice cap, with their own subtypes excluding the ice cap one existing across the moon. The first of these biomes, Dry tropical grassland, is the warmest region of this world, these virgin lands are rare on this world, and are also the most agriculturally productive lands. These grasslands are flat in nature, and are also flat, combined with the fact that they tend to feature rivers and they are building grounds for civilization. These grasslands are typically surrounded by another biome, Tropical grassland, this is the more humid version of the last one, and it tends to be less flat, and more rolly. These tropical plains are less farmable for general agriculture, though perfectly livable like the last biome, and they normally act as the rural regions of any state that own them. The biome that they tend to transition into is Humid Taiga, this biome does not exactly resemble a taiga, but it does tend to feature many similar looking trees, it also has a dark green color when going through it, with a wet/cold atmosphere present throughout it.

This biome is less habitable than the last, and is seen as this unconquered wilderness that tends to be inhabited by what this civilization amounts to hillbillies. This wilderness is not that interesting, mostly made up of large, tall, and thin trees that tend to have hundreds of small leaves that are a deep green color, the next biome that normally gets transitioned into is Humid hills. Humid hills are the more wet version of rocky outcrops that we would find on Earth, and they tend to be uninhabited, but do have some native and sparse species of trees. These humid hills, if we were to compare, are most like that of the Scottish Highlands, and looking down from the hills, we would find the Evergreen swamp. Evergreen swamps are viewed as virtually uninhabitable, and thus most of the time are selected as national parks by whatever state that owns them, these Evergreen swamps are what their name is, large dark green swaths of trees that are normally mid-trunk in the water, these swamps are normally swimming with a dozen species of fish and analog-Crocodiles, and most of the time these swamps are made up of several smaller islands and estuaries, and sometimes these estuaries led to freshwater depressions.

Freshwater depressions are areas of water that do not have salt in them that are also formed around some crater, for example the largest one, located inside of a Tropical grassland, is formed circular like most freshwater depressions, these waters generally have a darker color than the rest of the water, and they tend not to be sailed in as they are barren, just like this one; fish and other edible species normally did not swim in these depressions, and depressions do not tend to have any underwater features. Sailing past these depressions, we may encounter Mountainous glaciers, these are the higher regions of the humid hills mentioned before, and the water up here has frozen into ice that would pile onto large mountains, which two of them are higher than mount Everest. Some people think that this is not a real biome, considering it is just the larger version of icy mountain tops, sort of like the Alps. Looking from the top of these mountains, we may see the polar ice caps, these ice caps are larger than that of the Earth, this is a C-wet/humid temperate terra world, and thus these ice caps are bolstered by the colder average temperature and the generally more wet environment. Going to the base of these ice caps, we can see that they rise high above the ground, reaching the atmosphere in height, and on this ice cap, is a flat, barren wasteland like that of Antarctica. These ice caps have been divided by the states on this moon like that of Antarctica.

### Ring system

This celestial world boasts an intricate and intriguing ring system encircling it, composed of a diverse array of materials such as copper, nickel, silicon, iron, and more. The origin of this remarkable ring system traces back to a celestial event, where a diminutive moon, destined to succumb to the Roche limit, was torn asunder. The moon's capture by the planet expedited its fragmentation, ultimately giving rise to the magnificent ring system that graces the skies. In the early epochs of lunar society, this resplendent ring system was revered in myriad ways across the moon's inhabitants. Often regarded as a celestial kin to either a solar deity or the planet itself, it was seen as a mediator between civilization and the higher realms. Over time, as the lunar society transitioned into an intellectual renaissance, this celestial legacy evolved. The ring system gradually lost its divine status and began to be perceived as a precious resource or an extension of the lunar realm rather than a deity or envoy to higher beings. Despite this transformation, the spirit of diplomacy associated with the ring system persisted and frequently resurfaced in peacekeeping and international arbitration organizations in this world. As the lunar civilization advanced and ventured into the technological age, the ring system posed new challenges. Rocket launches and satellite deployment encountered hindrances due to the ring system's presence, necessitating the establishment of launch sites just off the lunar equator and pushing satellites far beyond Low Mudafia's orbit.

Notably, the closest entities to the moon were mining drones. During the ongoing space age of this world, local governments and mining corporations set their sights on the ring system as a source of valuable resources. However, their expectations were tempered by reality, as the ring system yielded few precious materials, and the primary resources harvested resembled those found on the moon. These resources primarily played a crucial role in the development of semiconductors. Consequently, many of these corporations and governments began branding their operations within the ring system as semiconductor production. The ring system, effectively becoming a colossal celestial mine, defied international embargoes on semiconductors and related materials. It transformed into a thriving, anarchic mining hub, accessible to anyone, including human entities. Notably, two prominent corporations, 'SpaceX - Mining Subdivision in Interstellar Cooperation' and 'Atlantica's Frontier - Semiconductor Productions,' tapped into this alien resource. Their activities faced vehement opposition from environmentalists who believed that humanity was exploiting the Mudafian rings, siphoning away resources that rightfully belonged to the moon.

This sentiment resonated with preservationists on the lunar surface who decried the ring system's ongoing depletion due to resource extraction. They called for an immediate halt to all mining operations within the rings. Even in the year 2029, this movement remains a vocal force, advocating for the preservation of the ring system. The movement, however, refrains from taking a stance on the numerous settlements within the ring system. These settlements, though predominantly functioning as mining camps, have evolved into small independent colonies or states that revel in the lawless, untamed frontier of the rings, free from external interference. Many of these settlements serve as waypoints to further reaches of the universe beyond the moon. A select few have blossomed into sizable communities that have established their own international organizations, resembling those found on Mudafia and Earth. In essence, the ring system surrounding this moon has undergone a remarkable transformation, transitioning from a sacred envoy and celestial diplomat to a chaotic battlefield dominated by mining operations and the clash of preservationist ideals.

### Colonization efforts

The closest other world to the Moon that is a terra, the moon of Bosisa, a name shared by many other worlds that have the same general type. This moon is a barren terra, a barren terra is a world with water in a liquid form on it without any sort of life. The Mudafians first colonized this moon during the technological era when rockets began more common, this moon was seen as a new frontier, and a world that was dense in may different resources, when looking to this world by pioneers, resources such as platinum, silver, copper, gold, and other like them were found, with a sort of platinum rush coming to this moon during that era. The nature of the Mudafians made it so that they required a cold and humid environment on that moon, so a gradual process of terraforming began, with the first colonies starting around the moon’s two oceanlets (an ‘oceanlet’ is a very large sea that acts as an ocean for all intents and purposes.) These colonies first were constructed with artificial domes that would conceal an environment the Mudafians could live in, and when venturing out they required a suit. After the platinum rush finished and eventually the terraforming of that moon to a livable state was finished around the same time, the Mudafians on said moon began to act as a group of prosperous states that eventually united to gain independence from the Mudafian homeworld. They agreed, but under the condition that the moon would still agree to have inhabitants and visitors from the homeworld allowed in it. This moon in the modern era sort of acts like a second Mudafia, just with a more blue atmosphere, and with a more flat and dry appearance.

(*ChatGPT does wonders, but it sometimes makes a text more emotional than it needs to be. The original text was quite small.*)

This celestial body, known as the parent planet of Mudafia, is a colossal and frigid megagiant, dwarfing even the mighty Jupiter with its massive bulk, boasting a staggering mass nearly 11 times that of our solar system's largest gas giant. The very enormity of this megagiant commands awe, casting a shadow over the far reaches of the Mudafia system. One of the most captivating features of this planetary behemoth is its majestic ring system, which encircles the planet in a breathtaking display of cosmic splendor. These majestic rings are not only a visual spectacle but also a hub of bustling activity. Over time, they've evolved into anarchic realms, similar to the Mudafian rings, where colonies have sprung up to harness their unique resources and offer refuge to those seeking a life outside the norm. The genesis of these small, self-governing colonies can be traced back to the early days of space exploration when the first moon in the system was colonized. These colonies, often regarded as the offspring of the moon's settlers, came into existence as a result of runaways and outcasts who yearned for independence and a chance to build their own communities. In the modern era, the parent planet has garnered more attention, particularly from the Mudafian homeworld and the inhabitants of the second moon. They initiated a large-scale colonization effort, establishing mining outposts strategically positioned throughout the intricate ring system. These outposts are vital for extracting valuable resources and maintaining a tenuous presence on the planet's unforgiving surface.

Challenges are abundant for the courageous souls who choose to call the parent planet's colonies home. The anarchic and lawless nature of the ring system lends itself to a constant state of upheaval, with raids and conflicts erupting almost weekly. The colonies must contend with the ever-present specter of disorder as they strive to eke out an existence amid the unruly rings.Moreover, the planet's high clouds, where gas collectors are perched, pose a unique and formidable challenge. These collectors must withstand the relentless, tumultuous winds that whip through the megagiant's upper atmosphere. These winds often prove to be far more powerful and erratic than initially expected, making the collectors' maintenance a daunting and perilous task.In summary, the parent planet of Mudafia is a cold megagiant, its immense size overshadowing even the mightiest gas giants known to humanity. Its resplendent ring system teems with anarchic colonies, formed in the wake of colonization of the first moon and further expanded in the modern era to support vital mining and resource extraction operations. However, these endeavors come at a high cost, as the lawless nature of the ring system and the volatile high-altitude winds challenge the resilience and determination of the colonists on a daily basis.

The closest planet to the star in this solar system is an intriguing celestial body, often described as a scorched ice giant. It's important to note that the term "colony" is somewhat misleading in this context since what's established here is more of an absorption mining camp. This operation primarily consists of multiple orbital stations strategically positioned to capture and collect the atmospheric erosion generated by the extreme conditions on the planet. This unique station was established during the transition from the late technological era to the modern era, showcasing the innovative spirit and technological advancements of that time. The "colonies" in orbit around this scorched ice giant are not confined to a single nation or entity; rather, they are owned and operated by various states on the homeworld. This collaborative approach fosters efficient resource extraction and ensures a robust network for addressing any potential orbital discrepancies or challenges that may arise. It exemplifies how international cooperation and shared goals can lead to advancements in resource acquisition and management, particularly in challenging environments like this one. In addition to the orbital mining stations, there is a distinct "real" colony situated on the planet's first moon. This colony is dedicated to extracting valuable silver and iron resources, making it a key player in the overall resource extraction efforts in the system. Its unique location on the moon demonstrates the ingenuity and adaptability of human endeavors, as colonists have established a foothold on a celestial body with significantly different conditions compared to their homeworld. This silver/iron mine is a testament to the tenacity and innovation of the settlers in their pursuit of valuable resources in the cosmos.

The next closest terra colonized by Mudafia is the 6th planet away from the parent star, this planet is more oceanic in nature, and is also more warm, which is not an environment that the homeworld Mudafians could survive in. Because of some cost benefit analysis by the homeworld Mudaifan UN, genetic engineering was deemed better than terraforming the world, and they sent a small colonial band to this world during the late technological age, after the testing of their survival for several years. This band would over time form a thalassocracy and would start operating independently from the homeworld, almost immediately, and the homeworld government had more pressing issues than trying to wage a war against some bands on a world that is not suited to native Mudafian conditions. They did however send small scout teams to try destabilizing the “rebelling” colony, these squads were hoover were defeated easily during combat, and thus pushed the colony to become isolationist afterwards. This thalassocracy colonized all the small land masses across this oceanic world over a period of several decades and after that began to invest in space technology in other means than defense, eventually colonizing the planet’s moons. This civilization managed to survive as an independent entity just on their starting resources, and grew to a point that the homeworld Mudafians would be rivaling them in strength, not overshadowing them. This independent civilization-like entity mostly keeps to themselves, they do not have that many formal alliances or rivalries with the homeworld nations, and the farthest they got out to colonizing was as mentioned before their moons, but they do have a small space program which sends satellites out, though these are very much scientific and navigational, and are for the purpose of studying their world and its moons, not the rest of space.

Its moon is not featured because I forgot to do so.The farthest colony and the only one that has not broken away from the homeworld, this colony acts as a hydrocarbons mining base for which the purpose of existence is to mine hydrocarbons, and nothing more to rebel for. They exist in small dome towns that are scattered across the world, most of the time on the coastline of an ammonia depression or ocean. The reason why this colony has not broken off its colonial overworld’s grasp is due to the fast that they are horribly self-sufficient, they only have a small amount of independent food production because of how hard it is too grow food there in the first place, and the rest of their food is shipped in from the Mudafian homeworld to cover over the populace that would have not been feed without it. Additionally, water is entirely shipped in, and their native terraforming technology is tree-planting grade at best, in other words, primitive. They however are mostly labours that board there for a week or two (Mudafian weeks are longer than Earthling weeks), and then they return home, sometimes this vessel passes the Titan’s partner, a small frozen ice world that has a few small mining colonies of their own that act as subordinate to the Titan’s mines, in other words the moon provides resources for the titan, that than provides resources to the homeworld, how then provides any excess material to the frozen moon. Both of these worlds are graded a range of 0.280 - 0.300 on the Self-Sufficiency rating system, meaning they could not hold up on their own if they wanted to.

Here I address a question you might have that relates to the previous (now independent) colony, “Why didn’t Mudafia just build dome cities there instead?”, the reason for that is because, Mudafia just did not see the reason for expending such resources to building and maintaining dome city colonies versus modifying s small population of Mudafians to be more suited to the warmer conditions of the 6th world, which is opposed to here, which is way harder to adapt to, and overdues the purpose that a colony here would have.

### Communication history

This section goes over the communication of the civilization of this moon, and the Earth. These two worlds in the modern day nowadays have a direct connection to each other via a wormhole, but it was a long way to build up to that point. When writing this, I realized that these interactions are most likely mild, never too interesting, with the best parts coming at the beginning and the end, and never the middle.

#### 1900s

During the 1900s, the first communication between Earth and Mudafia began, in a small, rural, and quiet radio field in the Oklahoma/Missouri border region. In 1902, a faint signal was detected here by the said radio field, this signal seemed to be more alien in nature, out of the ordinary, and it could not have been from any sort of manmade frequency as those tend to be more intelligible and less “alien”. In 1905 a signal was sent back to the apparent source of the signal, the region around the star DR 67543659994647040, this signal contained the contents of a picture of a pair of two humans, a few sound recordings of animals and people, and the ways to say hello in 20 different languages, granted they did use an accelerator to send these messages because of the distance to the star/region they were transmitting to. The 1900s would not have that many other things with this communication to Mudafia until the 1910s.

#### 1910s

In the 1910s a signal came back from that region, this signal seemed to be a sort of replica of the Human signal, just substituted for Mudafian sounds and beings, it is unknown how they managed to do this, but it may have to be because of the higher technology they had at the time, this seemed to be a breakthrough in Science and in philosophy, before we found worlds with life but they did not have civilizations (or at least those that we knew of), but now Humanity has been reached out too by another civilization. In the local Joplin Times the story “THE DAY WE ANSWERED “ARE WE ALONE? '' '' was published and spread across the United States. This story eventually spread across the western world, and it was treated as some sort of profound, but mild event not too be thought about too much.

#### 1920s - 1940s

In the 1920s, 1930s and through the 1940s, the communications between the two civilizations was sparse, the most was small independent radio fields sending signals and having micro-dialogues with said civilization, these communications were mild in nature, with the most trying to get around the fundamental language barrier via the use of pictures and sounds, most of them being of specific things instead.

#### 1950s

During the 1950s, the counties of McDonald and Newton started a joint project to start an official communication line between the two civilizations, unlike other times when they tried getting around the language barrier via the use of common concepts, they decided that they would try to understand and communicate to the civilization in its own language, so that they can have more deep and complex communications. They used the same initial radio field that started the whole thing, and sent a signal to the Mudafians that contained several images and sounds that would suggest that Humanity wanted to understand the Mudafian tongue, the Mudafians sort of sent back something, they sent a copy of their alphabet, and what seemed to be grammar rules that no Human would not be able to understand.

#### 1960s

In the 1960s after analyzing the language and building a computer that could voice the language (it requires two voices to operate), and they sent back a full signal in the language of the Mudafians. After the Mudafians received it they were sort of shocked that Humans were able to communicate in their language, granted it was broken and sentences did not conjoin correctly, they could interpret it in the way that the Humans wanted. The radiofield eventually received the signal and they thought that they had done it correctly, they later sent a signal back to the Mudafians asking for an alliance. This alliance they proposed was more technological in nature because they assumed that the Mudafians may have been more advanced than them, considering the faster communication rate and the images that would be sent back to Humanity, showing structures that look out of Sci-Fi.

#### 1970s - 2000s

In the 1970s to the 2000s, the communications were the same general thing as the 1930s through 1940s, mainly mild and uninteresting, just now the language of the Mudafians is used more often than normal, the United States and the Soviets had some weak alliances with the Mudafians but nothing too official as they had more important things like the Space race and the colonization of the moons around the Earth.

#### 2010s - 2020s

Nothing that interesting has happened in the 2010s to the 2020s, and both civilizations have built a mutual alliance of basic protection and technological cooperation that has not been used in a while. Communications have evolved to be more local, with communities that share the same view on culture and the universe in general on both worlds starting with specific frequencies, they have nowadays built a trade language, one that both can use. These channels are called nowadays as the “Interstellar hillbillies”,because most of the time they are rural communities on both worlds that share the same general views as each other.

### Mentions in the common culture

Mentions of this moon and its civilization are uncommon and sometimes rare because of the distant relation between the two civilizations. Most attitudes in music, news, politics, and general conversation tends to view this world as some sort of brother, or distant friend. The most “pop-culture” type mention of this world is the Roswell crash, where a certain sub-group of conspiracy theorists believed that the Mudafians landed on the Earth, this entered the news for that week, but it was eventually forgotten. Summarized, the culture around this world is more mild and views it as some sort of brother or distant friend that is a benefit to have.
