Thua

Description
-------------------------------------------------
A country under monarchy, divided into 9 sections. The capital is at the center in the middle of a vast lake. The government is highly militarized and the country as a whole tends to follow a very tradition centered way of life.

The style is very techno-gothic, with a heavy weight put on design and art both as a surface to technology and working with it.

There is much tension between Thua and New Eden, but wars in the past have come out unresolved. Both have become completely self sufficient and no longer export or import from each other.

Animals are common and exotic.

Flight is the main method of transportation, either by common licensed propellor planes or governmentally owned jet planes.

Most citizens express pride in their government, although there are small rebel groups but they are not very successful.

A long time ago, a law passed that all children would be genetically modified to have a Genetic Global Positioning Locator gene which would allow surveillance by government officials, and although this law was rejected under much protest, many citizens still decide to pass on the gene as a nationalistic heirloom. Various security systems are able to take advantage of this gene, and it improves communication.

Term:

- Genetic Global Positioning Locator
A gene carried by original Thua resident. Used to be considered a threat and invasion of privacy, now considered an honored privilege and used in various technology systems around the country making it easier to communicate, work with security systems, and commerce.
