Intrigue: SECRET Economy: buyout tp2 of R7- Some would call my understanding of economics, mercantilist a best.

Of course, these rapscallions have the freedom to say what they wish.

Stories differ on how exactly the great families each earned this writ. Some believe that it was in recognition of gifts given during the emperor's coronation. Gifts of incense, gold, and myr. Others say the great families each fed the heir apparent wandering through the countryside. Thematically the writ of commerance is supposed to represent a reciprocation of generosity. A parable about hospitality and ultimately one that enforces a respect for property rights on children.

MMD Gas Gas Gas. Kim flooded his overclocked engine with bursts of liquid hydrogen. Dipping and diving through asteroid belts took everything his Kyongdai Cruiser had. Sometimes It was nice though, the scenery was iconic when his viewscreen wasn't plastered with adds.

Before The Race: Starting Line Mr. Kim "Lucky Day" cracked his carbon fiber knuckles while leaning against his Kyongdai brand Jet Carrier. His competition was hard to judge. Robots, humans from the boonies, humans from planets with proper gravity, might be tougher than expected by his sponsors. Still, his jet carrier was his best shot at avoiding debt-based internship. Fed by the finest designer liquid hydrogen into an experimental hundred-core engine, the Kyongdai Jet Carrier is equipped.... Kim slapped the right side of his head, recalibrating his cerebral augment again. This wasn't the time for intrusive thought adds, and it'd be worse if they interrupted his focus at a critical juncture. When his head stopped rocketing adds to the remainder of his brain Kim lit his cigarette and bowed. "My Lady the Federation of Baladian Chaebols sends its regards. Let us use the breath the Emperor loans us on this blessed day."

The Federation of Badalian Chaebols(FBC) Dr. Song Freidman Diplomacy 2 Military 2 Economy 5 Faith 3 Intrigue 5 Georgraphy Neo Guleum, Metrohell in the sky, a city of over 10 million people crammed on massive balloons. This balloon network is tied together, supported by the imperial aerostat granted to the Chaebols eons ago. On these balloons are dozens of skyscrapers packed to cram as many people as possible in the limited space provided. Badal's lower gravity and Neo Guleum's stability have also encouraged reckless growth. To the point where the average building is twenty stories tall. Above the acid clouds the climate is cool all day. Winds of bitter cold tear through the massive wind tunnels created by the maze of spires and precipitation is largely unheard of. Neo Guleum can be divided into five districts via a series of byzantine zoning regulations designed to inflate property values. Finance Central lies at the city's heart pumping beloved capital into the rest of Neo Guleum's veins. On the north edge of the city lies the Chaebol Headquarters. Overlooking the scenic vistas of swirling acidic nimbus clouds Chaebol Headquarters is the city's administrative brain. Connecting these districts is the Spire Spine, a street consisting of the city' s tallest skyscraper devoted to controlling propaganda and the praxis of PSYCHO-CAPITALISM. Opposite the Headquarters is the Gut, the largest district by area and the one most packed with residences. The final district is The Wall, a large ring of factories on the city's southern edge, creating a wall of chemical plants, chip factories, and electronics assembly between residents of The Gut and the vast Badalian cloudscape. Most people get around the city via massive elevators, sky bridges, and elevated rail. Due to space concerns, atmospheric control, and city density, personal automobiles are rarely seen on the streets of Neo Guleum. People The residents of Neo Guleum are unashamedly human. To the point where many of the elite families can trace their family line back to old Sanasr. All of the Chaebol families have the remains of the supposed original Imperial Writ of Commerce gilded and framed like immaculate museum pieces. Physically citizens range from pale to olive-toned skin with black hair. What is most notable about the citizens of Neo Guleum is their embrace of cybernetics. The first cybernetics were given to workers to enhance sensory inputs and minimize the need for sleep. This enabled workers from the manufacturing and service industries to work longer hours at higher productivity. Brain implants are also seen as key tools to maintain labor discipline. With them Citizens can access information webs at will where all crucial services can be paid for with naught but a thought. Those who act against the Chaebols can be effectively isolated from accessing vital services or flooded with advertisements until the malcontent senses are overwhelmed. Gut enchantments with miniature lithium reactors compensate for the increased energy load while decreasing the need for extraneous greenery in city limits. Outside of Utilitarian cybernetics, there is a thriving market for limb enhancements, face reshapers, and spinal augments. Culturally, Neo Guleum revolves around the consumption of imported goods from beyond city limits and from the invention of new services. VR-Gatcha games dominate the market home market. Procedurally generated films are the talk of the watercooler while manufactured pop music "borrowed" from other Badalian Aeristats blares in most public places. Family is a fundamental value to most Guleumites. Filial piety and sky-high land prices mean most homes are multigenerational. Individualism and a cutthroat labor market have atrophied any true sense of community. Because of this family feuds run rampant, settled via televised duels. Faith (Pyscho-Capitalism) majority While aethism runs rampant within Neo Guleum there is a belief in the power of Markets. Markets bring happiness. Markets bring fufilmant. Markets Bring prosperity that trickles down eventually. Reading the markets with mathematical certainty can bring all of these things, perhaps even determine the future. But those who cannot read the Markets will suffer its ups and downs. PSYCHO-CAPITALISM promises that with the perfect mathematical model, one can predict the market so far in advance that one can ensure infinite portfolio growth. Resource: Loans The main export of Neo Guleum is credit (Loans). In an economy built on finance every business and tycoon needs credit. Credit makes Badal go round whether people realize it or not.

Aksisi is the largest example of this trend acting as a center for the processing and export of blue truffle oil along with dyes, textiles, and alcohol. Some Myrkhans have fully adopted the ways of the Akazeg embracing Monadism while beginning the process of integrating with symbiotic fungi that define the physique of the Akazeg.

Once, the islands were imperious basalt plateaus spawned by ancient gouts of magma. However, a sudden rise in sea level would convert these stalwart formations into hilly islands covered in deep caves and arid savannahs. The fierce currents isolating Bulbancha from the mainland have given the isles unique flora and fauna. A wide variety of cacti, evergreen trees, thorny shrubs, and watapana trees inhabit Bulbancha's rolling hills, steep canyons, and rocky valleys. Numerous caves that dot the island are filled with hundreds of species of fungi lighting these abandoned magmatic caverns with pale blue-green light. Roaming the skies is a robust population of seagulls and pelicans. Meanwhile, the interior of the island hosts a strange reflection of the lands beyond. Dwarf camels, emu, ground sloths, long-legged jackels, and terrestrial crocodiles make the archipelago their home. The fauna that venture into the caves often become infected with parasitic fungi with effects that range from standing in the sun-baked hills to exhaustion, and extra bioluminescence. History The Akazeg were one of many people groups of an ancient sun-worshiping federation that once stretched across the Vaires. Cities of Brass and towers of gold once littered vast fertile savannahs. Using the spores that grew in the caverns as a medium for mystical power, the Akazeg sold their services as oracles, soothsayers, and court alchemists in opulent opal palaces of the great princes. This status quo did much to develop the isles of Bulbancha, the silver of noble patrons funding the creation of vast settlements. But as the arid winds cut through the Vaires, savannahs turned into sand. Rivers fractured into tired rivulets. And as fields of corn became subsumed by thorny cacti the Akazeg mystics implored their masters to abandon imagery of the hallowed aspects of the sun. For the beasts they tithed to were not but blind demiurges with foaming jaws trapping all those who sought emancipation from the fallen world. Ears open to the change in mystic winds, the Akazeg embraced acetic life casting away their wealth while enduring constant attacks and programs from the princes who once employed them. As the world turned to dust, the Akazeg constructed great vaults beneath the ground. Emtobing themselves until the Vaires once again became green and fertile. A dream that would remain deferred by the spiritual calamity of the moonfall in addition to the physical limitations of the alchemical fungal brew that sustained the Akazeg in extended hibernation. Now after millennia, they have risen from their slumber dedicated to spreading their uncorrupted ways. For their survival is a sign of divine providence. People The Akazeg are humans. Strange humans with a little moldy on the surface but humans nonetheless. Specifically, Akazeg are stocky humans that range in skin tone from ochre to oak in complexion. Symbiotic influence from the native fungi and millennia of hibernation have given many of the Akazeg blotches of violet and bioluminescent aquamarine across their frames. These features accompany the asymmetrical growth of chitinous plates, misplaced mushroom caps, and even the growth of extraneous chitenized limbs. Many of the recently awakened have metallic prosthetics animated by the user's symbiotic fungi, creeping mycelium functioning like nerves and blood vessels snaking deep into the steel's lattice. Akazeg often wears perfumes, oils, and incense but care little for jewelry. Tattoos and ritualized burn marks are nearly ubiquitous across all Akazeg adults. These markings portray family sigils, alchemical notes, charms, and mantras. Akazeg organize themselves in various communes where land and productive property are distributed democratically based on the needs of the members. Communes range between 100-500 doting the isles with hundreds of interconnected villages. Each commune elects a member of the island's Grand Council, which in turn elects an Exarch. The Grand Council directs the productive goals of the various communes and collects taxes but this is in reality, a very decentralized society. Communes can and will disobey the grand assembly. Faith Gnotisc Monadism Gnotisc Monadism is an aesetic form of mysticism that seeks escape from the physical world and reunites with the all-loving Monad. In the antediluvian darkness, the world was crafted by blind demiurges. But, the world they crafted was a cold static abomination. A grey land of pillars, and formless dust, where years passed as hours. Out to the diamond oblivion, the light of Monad exploded through this antediluvian world as this static material became animated with light. The Demiurges who accepted the animating light of Monad became all-seeing Archons that transcended mere physicality into mystical forms. Earlier Monadists believed in a duality between the spiritual and material realms, however, Gnostic Monadists believe the material world serves only as a corruption of a perfect spiritual existence. The material world and investment in it can only promote suffering at best, at worst it can debase even the greatest into blind demiurges. Divesting from the material world offers a path to connecting with Monad, the universal consciousness, and escaping the suffering of the material world. Monadists seek to divest themselves from the material world and seek greater connection to the spiritual realm via the Fivefold truths. Afara Peace- Calls to abstain from dominance. To dominate others, be it the animals, the land, or even other humans is to enmesh oneself even further into the realm of the material. It only serves to blind oneself in a pale imitation of the ancient demiurges. Tidis Truth- This vow is to always speak the truth. Neither lie, nor speak what is not true, and do not encourage others or approve of anyone who speaks an untruth. Asfek Reject Covetousness- Followers are discouraged from the theft of objects and of others' labor for theft is the son of dominance. Marur Embrace Illusion-  Followers should take opportunities to divorce themselves from the material world. Meditation, exposure, and ingesting the fungal oil all can bring about hallucinogenic experiences that draw followers closer to the Monad. Sllem Compassion- Imitate the animating love of the Monad. Followers must endeavor to show compassion to all living beings. Holy site: Caves of Katas Resource The Akazeg's main product is Blue Truffle Oil, an alchemical oil derived from the naturally occurring hallucinogenic blue Truffle. The oil can act as a drug and preservative. However, the Akazeg require Animals, the isles of Bulbancha are ill-suited for cattle and other profitable ruminants.
