Terran Nationale

"The Terran Nationale is what you get when you combine complete rewrites of history with a dose of fantastical delusion - You end up with a society that paradoxically thinks it's constantly under attack, but that its enemies are weak and easy to crush. They're like the Kreigsleute, but at least the Kreigsleute don't delude themselves."

Template:!Nation InfoboxThe Terran Nationale is a dictatorship located within the Verpletter region of the Via Aylathiya galaxy. Within the region, it is quite a major player with an area of 150,000 stars. The nation is a totalitarian society where the state controls all aspects of one's life, made especially effective by the technology the Terran Nationale possesses. Centered on a habitable world whom the inhabitants refer to as Terra, the Terran Nationale maintains its control over its systems through its impressive military and nationalist propaganda.

The Terran Nationale is vehemently speciesist, believing that Humans are the only truly sapient beings in the universe. As of late, they have been slowly introducing the idea that their specific ethnicity of Humanity are the only true Humans. The leader of the Terran Nationale is referred to as "Imperator," a title derived from the name for the leader of Drusidia, from which the people of the Nationale descend.

History

the inhabitants of the Internationale are mostly the Human dependents of refugees from Drusidia. The children of these refugees grew hearing wondrous tales about the civilization the refugees were cut off from and Humanity's homeworld of Aegyn as well as the Drusidian capital of Scipio. Within a generation, the tales had become greatly exaggerated, creating an expansive mythos filled with explanations of history. Within a further three generations, a near-religious desire emerged as the desire to return to Aegyn was ingrained into the culture. A new leader emerged, calling themselves "Imperator Adeodatus" who used the tales to convince the people he was a descendant of the Drusidian Emperor and the rightful ruler.

After this, many of these stories turned into simply delusion, with some starting to believe in a Geocentric model, with Aegyn at the center of all of the universe. Those who spoke against this, even the few survivors from the original refugees, were harrassed, and sometimes even murdered.

Eventually, this opportunity to return to Aegyn presented itself in 10,000VC, when the Seal-Off of Verpletter ended, and people could leave the galaxy if they so desired, and explore the wider Universe once again. Many however, quickly became intensely disillusioned with the state of Aegyn, considering it to have devolved in a great number of ways from the fantastical and almost god-like worship of stories from their pasts. Enraged, many returned to Verpletter, considering Terra the re-embodiment of Aegyn, and seek to obliterate everything about the Confederacy of Borealis once they have taken the Verpletter Dwarf Galaxy, hoping to restore Aegyn to a glorious past it never held.
