Background:
The nation of Xanthal was founded on Earth in 1960 by the country's figurehead and national hero Zeke Zabertini on the values of freedom, equality, and justice. Today, Xanthal is a technologically advanced nation with a large, devoted population and a strong galactic presence.

Location and layout:
The Aellis system lies twenty light-years from the Sol system and the Than system ten light-years from Aellis. Xanthal claims the Aellis and Than systems and the space between them. Xanthal's borders do not directly contact those of any other nation, but its territory is within five light-years of PSO Capital States (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/86917/page=display_nation/nation=pso_capital_states) and The Mindset (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74986).

Systems and planets:
The Aellis system: Xanthal claims the entire system, which forms the core of its operations and houses its capital. Heavily developed and well defended, the Aellis system hosts four inhabitable planets and most of the population of Xanthal.
-Aellis I (uninhabitable, molten).
-Aellis II (uninhabitable, molten).
-Aellis III (uninhabitable, barren rock).
-Aellis IV (inhabitable, detention planet, subtropical very dry forest).
-Aellis V (inhabitable, capital planet, warm temperate climates).
-Aellis VI (inhabitable, homeworld, cool temperate climates).
-Aellis VII (inhabitable, Armada/Military planet, polar dry tundra).
-Aellis VIII (uninhabitable, ice planet).
-Aellis IX (uninhabitable, gas giant, thirty-six rings).
-Aellis X (uninhabitable, gas giant).
-Aellis XI (uninhabitable, ice planet).
-Aellis XII (uninhabitable, barren rock).
-Aellis XIII (uninhabitable, barren rock).
The Than system: The home system of the Than race. Allied with Xanthal for hundreds of years, the Than have been fully integrated into Xanthalian society.
-Than I (uninhabitable, molten).
-Than II (uninhabitable, gas giant).
-Than III (uninhabitable, barren rock).
-Than IV (inhabitable, homeworld, tropical rain forest).
-Than V (uninhabitable, gas giant).
-Than VI (inhabitable, homeworld, warm temperate climates).
-Than VII (uninhabitable, ice planet).

Government:
Central government headed by an elected Triumvirate and a Council. Ministries under Triumvirate and Council control attend to everyday tasks.
Triumvirs:
-Atachi Kyomino
-Nara Eche
-Sarah Quoss
Ministry list:
-Ministry of Communications and Media
-Ministry of Defense
-Ministry of Development
-Ministry of Economics
-Ministry of Education
-Ministry of Health and Safety
-Ministry of Intelligence
-Ministry of Justice
-Ministry of Research and Science
-Ministry of Transportation
Xanthalian Triumvirs are elected for life, but can be removed from office by popular vote. The Council is made up of the leaders of all the Xanthalian ministries (Ministers). Each ministry has one Minister, who is elected by popular vote of that ministry's employees.
The Triumvirate makes decisions by majority vote, but their decisions can be overruled by a majority of the Council when passed with two votes or by 3/4 of the Council when passed with the votes of all three Triumvirs.

Constitution:
Called Xanthal's Primary Law, the Xanthalian constitution was ratified in 2415 and is the guiding force behind Xanthal's policies and laws. It can be amended when approved by all three Triumvirs and 3/4 of the Council. The Primary Law contains the following provisions:
-Private enterprise within Xanthalian borders shall be limited to establishments that provide nonessential goods and/or services.
-All Xanthalian citizens who do their jobs shall be provided for by the government to the best of its ability.
-Wages for Xanthalian citizens will be regulated by both a price floor and a price ceiling, the disparity between which shall not exceed five hundred percent.
-Xanthalian Citizens not under criminal investigation by the Ministry of Justice have the right to privacy in their homes.
-Supreme governmental power in Xanthal rests with the Triumvirate and Council, representatives of which are elected for life by the people and removable by popular vote.
-No Xanthalian citizen or institution has the right to take the life of a sentient being except in self-defense.
-All sentient beings in Xanthal shall be afforded the same rights.

Natural resources and trade:
Xanthal has access to many resources, but rarely harvests them. The invention of replicator technology in 2284 ended the need for most industry and agriculture in Xanthal. The Xanthalian Ministry of Economics participates to a significant degree in the international trade market, mostly in consumables and technology.

People:
Species:
-60% Xanthalian.
-16% Than.
-5% Human.
-5% Elven.
-14% Other.
Religion:
-55% Areligious.
-37% Religious.
-8% Antireligious.

Literacy and language:
100% literacy rate.
Official language: Xanthalian.
Other common languages: Japanese, English.
Oral Xanthalian vaguely resembles old Japanese but carries strains of many other languages, some of Earth origin and some from other planets. Simple to get the hang of but difficult to master, few people who learn the language later in life ever learn to apply all the grammatical rules.
Xanthalian is written in a complex set of over ten thousand individual symbols that resemble archaic oriental characters. The written Xanthalian language is incredibly complex. Symbols can stand for individual syllables, word sets, concepts, or even hold abstract meaning. It is nearly unheard of for anyone to learn to write in Xanthalian who has not grown up with it.

Economy:
Gross Domestic Product and Military Budget (http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?nation=Xanthal&defenseprovided=1&defense=3)
National currency: Quinault (Q)
-Q1.00 = GC0.95 = $2.00 = €1.74 = £1.23
Xanthal's economy is monitored and manipulated by the Ministry of Economics. Most money goes through the government, which distributes the nation's resources to provide for its own operation and the well-being of its citizens. The Ministry of Economics also controls all the commerce in Xanthal.

Binding agreements:
None.

Combat:

Slipfighter class (automated fighter): $250,000
An AI-operated fighter used by the Xanthalian Armada as its primary fighter. The Slipfighter is armed with two multiphasic disrupter banks and two cluster missiles but, due to space constraints, has only type I shields. Used to combat other fighters or in swarms to defeat larger ships.

Sabre class (light tactical): $50,000,000,000
The Sabre class is designed to pack a strong punch in a small package. While it has only a few torpedo tubes due to space constraints; it has many phaser and disrupter banks. Its shields are of mediocre quality, so the Sabre class cannot withstand a sustained assault. It uses great speed and maneuverability to dodge attacks while attacking with its powerful weapons. An unimpressive warship on its own, the Sabre class can do enormous damage when in fleets.

Rhade class (light tactical): $100,000,000,000
The Rhade class is a state-of-the-art light warship designed to pack maximum firepower. Equipped with a limited but powerful range of weapons and piloted by a single Xanthalian AI, the Rhade class fails in the area of defense and is alarmingly vulnerable to almost all types of weapons fire. Best deployed with a fleet for protection, the Rhade class can do immense damage to an opponent in a very short period of time.

Eclipse class (ultra-heavy tactical): $5,000,000,000,000
The Eclipse class is massive, bigger than most starbases, but still relatively mobile. It's assault weapon power is unmatched, and it can take on most super-capital ships easily. Its size means that it is vulnerable to large numbers of smaller warships, so it is always escorted by other Xanthalian vessels. Adequately supported it can defeat entire enemy fleets. Used mostly as a weapon of intimidation by the Armada.

OOC policy:

My policy in my own and other peoples' technology is that if you provide adequate backstory and have RPed the creation of a weapon, using it is not a godmod, no matter how destructive it is. This is based on my simple philosophy that THINGS ARE NOT A GODMOD JUST BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO BE KILLING YOU! However, it is always acceptable to terminate an RP for OOC reasons, even if those reasons are simply "I don't want my nation to be destroyed." Do not overuse this though, or nobody will play with you.

If you godmode around me, the godmoding part of your RP will be ignored. To review, a godmode is when you RP damage or death to me, my country, or one of my NPCs. Only I can determine damage to my stuff. Conversely, I pay the same respect to everybody else. I will not RP damage, only attacks. DAMAGE MUST BE RPED BY THE NATION WHOSE TERRITORY OR PEOPLE ARE BEING DAMAGED.

Ignoring: If at any time a player considers a weapon or other type of technology/magic/whatever to be unfair, they have the right to ignore that part of my post. If they do this I, if I desire, must be granted the right in turn to either
a: scratch the post that has had all or part of it ignored and repost a different action, or
b: choose to terminate the battle and ignore all or part of the proceedings thereof.
I will not ignore any player for any reason ever. However, I reserve the right to ignore any and/or all of a player's actions if I so wish.
Collateral damage: I reserve the right to deny that I have been damaged either intentionally or unintentionally by players engaged in a battle which I was not aware of or involved in. This right is void if the player who has claimed damage to me approves their action with me beforehand OR gives me the chance to block/retaliate.

That is a seriously well put together timeline. I can tell you spent a long time on that, as I did mine - but yours includes links to the events - something I never thought of and realise the time it must have took.

Great work :P

you planned on informing the empire about the dissolution of our treaty.. when?

I posted a topic on it... That was when you could still do keyword searches, so I contented myself with that. Nowadays I telegram people on these things since there's no way for them to search for them.

this are things that could have been brought to my attention before now

Bump.

Tag.

Bump.

I'm starting to develop an idea from this, also, JSYK, I've T-Grammed myslef the link to this.

What would that idea be?

I shall be sending a Telegram to you soon, it's a wee bit far-fetched, and I'm working on the details as we speak.

I see... I look forward to it. By the way, what do you think of our new flag? It's not a finished product yet, but it's getting there. PRD made it for us, bless his communist soul...

Just saw your flag....nice, very nice.

Bump.

Allmost done making detail adjustments on that idea of mine, expect a T-Gram soon.

Note: You know what you could do to get this thread noticed by more people? without having to bump it so much that is.

I'm not going for acknowledgement, I just need to keep it on my first search page so that it's easy for me to reference. By the way, YOU have a telegram, lazy person.

Lazy? LAZY!?! I am of Welsh stock sir! I am no lazy person!...........right-o then, I'll just be checking my TG box.

Bump.

even one planet is a very large place not to exibit massive cultural diversity.

your space fleets are
mmmmmm
interesting

ours (lananara's actualy) are
somewhat more modest
and almost totaly not overtly military

don't have them on our national website yet at the moment
but can be found among the immages
on our elfwood zone47 gallery page

http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/zone/j/t/jteall2/jteall2.html

those illustrated consist of singleship (a kind of ftl hippie winnibago
and used as lifeboats on larger vessles)
first contact scout (the clasic ufo disc, opperated as research vessles by some universities)
and light merchant (general all arround workhorse, like your cammel)
heavier version of the cargo vessle exist but are not at this time illustrated (the heaviest versions have scoutship discs rather then singleships as 'lifeboats')

=^^=
.../\...

Bump.

You seem to have a pretty extensive history, very filled with RP.......very impressive.

Why "TUXEDO"?

and

Tag

Why "TUXEDO"?Because "tuxedo" is a fun word, and it was an amusing acronym to make up.

Bump.

Very nice and detailed. I particularly like the timeline. 8)

I'm reading this again.

Wow.

Very nice "about" post, Xanthal... either you deserve a clap on the back ... or less free time. I advocate the clap on the back.
