Starverse polities

The Starverse is rich with human polities of different ideologies and backgrounds, spanning across unimaginable swathes of space. Thousands of human nations have converged on nearly every inch of several star systems, both habitable and seemingly unhabitable. Communes have established radical societies that transcend the human imagination.

Federation of Vyzera
Considered the largest human nation, the Federation of Vyzera is a post-industrial representative society similar to the former republics on Ticeria. As the first true human super-state, Vyzera has expanded out towards much of the Axos system and its neighboring star systems. With strong human origins, Vyzera represents the human spirit in its purest form. Fortitude and innovation are strong values instilled in the general population, continuously pressing forward in advancement of national goals. As the first nation to truly perfect the Albarracin drive, its colonization efforts during the Second Age of Space Exploration greatly improved accessibility of the space frontier for humanity. Prior to the Flux Age, the national Vyzeran identity was simultaneously strong and far-reaching. However, with the establishment of human colonies in low-gravity environments and the increase in colony births came cultural division and strife.

Antark Confederation
The Antark Confederation is, for all intents and purposes, Vyzera's greatest rival in influence and power. Their emphasis on automation and artificial intelligence have given the Antark Confederation a greater edge in technological achievement and governmental efficiency. As a socialist semi-democratic republic, the government maintains massive national institutions which improve the quality of life for each Antark citizen. The nation is smaller in population and territory, however, technological advancement and higher quality of life have made it a dynamic equal to the Vyzeran federation. As a quasi-federal confederation, the nation maintains a separate autonomous governmental framework of "Free States". These governments exercise state-like control, subject to national reversal.

Unlike Vyzera, the Antark Confederation's citizens share a strong national bond, fueled by their central distaste towards other human aspirations. Many aspire towards the "Antark Vision", a prevailing national ethos which emphasizes individual success through the state's idealistic ambitions. This ethos is hammered into the minds of Antark citizens through cultural expression and education bordering on state indoctrination.

Septarian Republic
The Septarian Republic is a callback to the thalassocracies of the past age, commandeering vital trade routes and ports on various planets and moons in the far reaches of the Axos system and much of the Ozes system. Monopolization of Ozes trade has defined the nation's survivability. The nation is ruled by a land-owning, educated aristocracy, kept in power by subscription to their mercantilist-like beliefs. The nation is vital in international affairs, getting a seat at many of humanity's most important congregations. As it functions as a merchant middleman, the republic may be used as a proxy in conflict or escalation.

The Septarian Republic maintains a small military force which acts as both its national defense and its law enforcement. A standardized police force is unheard of, as the republic is small in population and inhabits smaller areas of territory.

Federal Union of Daea
The Federal Union of Daea encompasses several manmade space stations and two planetary-mass bodies within the Viable Space area. Daean settlements focus on military tradition and nationalistic fervor, viewing mankind under a pessimistic lens. Men and women of Daean society are taught to view other human societies as lackadaisical and vulnerable. The nation is ran by a military junta, through the leading General Planning Committee. The nation has produced many fearsome warfighters through the prioritization of resourceful militarization in education and culture.

As an extension of the Ticerian nation Daea, the Federal Union of Daea was formerly a weak federal democratic polity. However, the conditions upon a space station with limited scientific knowledge and space technology were harsh and barely habitable. To call it a space station was especially generous; it was more a dilapidated hunk of metal floating in space with fawned-over resources. The dog-eat-dog world produced the necessity for fierce discipline and courage. Dissatisfaction with the democratically-elected hybrid regime led to a coup d'etat in the 2nd century AU. Daean society desires conformity and durability for its citizens, inspired by the severity of the original situation.

Dinolian Convocation
The Dinolian Convocation is stationed on a space station near the Traveler's Edge, right next to the Toran Obfuscation zone. The polity is highly controversial, perceived by many as merely a rag-tag group of crazies peddling misguided ideals. With their goal being to transform their space station into a self-sufficient anarchist garden, mutual cooperation has interwoven a tight web of community and productivity. Through future generations, Dinolians have embraced the flowery, optimistic ideals set forth by the settlers of the past. Their culture and language has evolved greatly over time; considered as a language isolate, the highly phonetic language uses inflection with an unstudied sentence structure.
