Thulcandran Federation

Description

The Thulcandran Federation is a corporate federation which exists in the Holara Hinterlands of Via Aylathiya, near the vicinity of Via Aurum. The Thulcandran Federation is mostly known for its massive impact in Via Aylathiya, in terms of industrialization, technology, businesses, and general prosperity. The Thulcandran Federation is also known for being one of the only major centers for Humans in Via Aylathiya, with colonization happening shortly after the formation of the Confederacy of Borealis. The current capital of the Thulcandran Federation is a megastructure named Thulcandria, which resides near the center of Via Aurum.

The Thulcandran Federation first formed after colonial missions from the United Federation of Star Systems, which initially set these missions to expand its own influence, arrived in the Via Aurum nebula 32,126 CE. However, the distance and energy requirement for such a distant colony allowed separatists to rise, Believing that they could manage their own empire on the budding structure of Thulcandria. This separatist movement rose in popularity, but it eventually gave it enough traction and independence to form a sovereign nation in 32,738 CE. However, the Thulcandran War was waged between the UFSS and the Thulcandran Federation, ending with the UFSS signing a ceasefire and recognizing the Thulcandran Federation as a sovereign nation.

Ever since its separation from the UFSS, the Thulcandran Federation grew to be very prosperous, seeing the area of Via Aurum as an immense source of resources and wealth for its people. It is now characterized by its massive industries, dense commercial sectors, and its high quality of life. The Thulcandran Federation has used this to construct a renowned market for travel, entertainment, and technological advancement. The nation's megastructures, which are primarily built around Via Aurum, are often seen as the symbol of the Thulcandran Federation. The high amount of national megastructures has also pushed for a large amount of advancements for resource collection within the nation.

The population of the Thulcandran Federation is staggering for its size, with 9.1 quintillion individuals residing in its borders. A notable portion of the population resides near the center of Via Aurum, an area shared with the Sovereign Provinces of Aylathia which has several major megastructures. Approximately one third, or 3.37 quintillion people reside here, while others exist deeper in the nation, in other megastructures or highly developed planets. A small fraction of the population lives in rural areas, since the Thulcandran Federation is mostly devoid of sparse space. The population of the Thulcandran Federation is controlled by a subliminal system of surveillance, a heavy police force, and by satisfying the people's needs to avoid dissenters.

The Thulcandran Federation holds a set of relations for other nations as well. Most notably, it holds a very cordial relationship to the Commonwealth of United Economic Nations. The healthy relationship between both nations is the reason why the Thulcandran Federation holds its advanced economy at all. Without the Commonwealth, they would be unable to hold such a large trading network with any nation. The Thulcandran Federation has also been a major contributor in military aid for the Commonwealth, as well as the Sovereign Provinces of Aylathia and the Quintet Payotari Association to an extent. Trading is also one of the main ways that the Thulcandran Federation acts to other nations, with trade agreements and diplomacy being very useful tools for the federation.

Notable Locations

In the Thulcandran Federation, there exists a few notable locations, primarily megastructures, which are located all around its area. These places provide the Thulcandran Federation with resources, power, and many people to fill in the empty spaces of habitation.
