Sagittarium

"A symbol of unity for all the live in the core, the brightest object in the entire galaxy... Ironic considering it is a black hole, but brightest nonetheless. In the night sky of all planets privileged to be under the control of our nation, and in many of their skies during the day, its brilliance shows through. Truly, no nation could ask for a better symbol of unity." -First General Lexus Castillo, 21007

Sagittarium was a semi-fascist junta state occupying the majority of the re of the Milky Way. It was the first modern nation to colonize Sagittarius A*, the central black hole of the Milky Way, hence its name. The nation was founded in 20567 CE by Klein Vay as a means to reinstate order to the then chaotic Milky Way Galaxy. In its crusade for order, the state became totalitarian, regularly reeducating and quite often times killing dissenters. The relative freedom enjoyed by those of the former LaC was widely terminated by the government in favor of radical devotion to the government. Long-illegal psychological manipulation attempts were liberally employed by the state to convince quintillions to follow the state without question. The idea of "Cultural Hegemony" was widely promoted by the government. It had taken on more than just a cultural meaning, however. The majority of the nation was human. Diversity was looked down upon due to the common misconception that the blame for the split rested solely on the shoulders of nonhumans, while the humans were victim to their greed for more power in the government. This way of thinking, originally popularized by The Neo-Terrans caused the nation to destroy the one civilization in the core, the Unir.
