Lemilona

Lemilona is the most powerful modern nation. It is a center of scientific advancement, philosophical prosperity and economical grandness. It is pluriethnic, lay and diverse.

Geography

The capital of Lemilona is called Dapela Zuya ("City of Cliffs" in Old Lemilese), and is located on the western coast of the Aroza peninsula. It was craftly planned on the rocky and salty edges of the area, featuring traditional architecture with improved resistance to oceanic erosion.

Demography

The population of Lemilona is highly diverse, being mostly composed of Zoans of different classes, but also other races, notably Fairies and Ishim. According to a census run by the state on the year 5804, Zoans are the most common group, constituting over 90% of the population. However, no Zoan class surpassed the number of Ishim people by itself, although those were only 1,2% of the counted people. Fairies were fewer, but the officials believe that many fairies live traditional lives at secrecy on the wild territory belonging to the country. The country also has the highest populations of homunculi by absolute numbers. There are significant Barophore, Effodlimax and Spindleg populations.

The most common religion in the country is Asterism, closely followed by Ametism. All major religions form significant minorities. The country also features the largest non-religious population in the world.

Unlike any other nations on the surface or the oceans, Lemilona is mostly urban, with 76% of its people living in cities as of 5804. Ishim, specifically, are 95% and 93% urban, respectively, while recognized fairies are only 43% urban.

Culture

Lemilonese culture follows ideals comparable to positivism. The progress of science is highly valued, even at the cost of questionable experiments. It is not a coincidence the nation is the cradle of many alchemists, engineers and mathematicians, and the goal of many other such thinkers. Alchemy in particular thrives Lemilona, and its scientists have convergently discovered many materials previously only known to the Artisans, millennia before.

Art takes a second place in importance to Lemilonese culture, and many poets use the language of this country in their works.

Politics

Lemilona is an oligarchy and a sophocracy. As a whole, the country is controled by the House of Law, its highest ranking members being called Legislators. They write, approve, change and veto laws. A Legislator is elected by the moderators, which are people of science. There are hundreds of moderators, although they still only form a sliver of the population as a whole.

There are also many ministries, responsible for applying laws on specific areas of the society, as well as researching and suggesting laws for the HoL. The ministries are:

M. of Husbandry
M. of Education
M. of Demography
M. of Infrastructure
M. of Economy

Each ministry is controled by a minister and run by a team of deacons. Any Lemilonese can try to become a deacon, but they must be accepted by at least 50% of the rest of the team. The deacons also choose their minister every 7 years. The minister is ultimatelly subordinate to the legislators.

Besides the ministries, there is also the Army, which is run by a general (Ju Afra by 5800). In times of peace, the general is subordinate to the HoL, but they may be equated to a legislator in times of war. The army is responsible for bellicous affairs, as well as being internal police.
