Pythogria, Land of the Snake
Welcome to the Pythogrian Factbook. This is an OOC refrence thread. All stuff here is OOC.
Enjoy!
---Climate---
The northern areas are, in effect, arctic. The mountains below are also arctic. Below that, you have weather similar to Alberta, and below that, temperate. The south is very warm, and tropical.
---Land---
The west is mountainous. The center is a vast plain, and the south is ruggeed and heavily forested. The west has beaches and a few cliffs. As for the north... wide open icy plains.
---Map---
Link, since image won't work...
This is a map of Pythogria. Mountains grey, rivers blue, cities red, capital big red blob, and huge forests green.
---Animals---
Pythogria is home to many animals and plants, some of which are not seen elsewhere. A lizard-like creature similar to a Komodo dragon but that walks like Tyrannosaurus Rex is seen around the south. (It is, of course, a LOT smaller.) Basically, if it's suited to the climate in that particular spot on Pythogrian lands, you will find it. And then some. Parrots, lizards, snakes, and monkeys inhabit the south, bears, deer, and other temperate animals the middle, and penguins, polar bears, and seals the north.
---Vegitation---
In the north, vegitation is rather... lacking, other than a few evergreen forests. The middle hs dedicious trees and bushes, and the south is home to vines, jungle, and coconut trees. An example of a unique Pythogrian spiecies is the Reathled. It grows four feet long, and is two feet in diameter. It is similar to a watermelon, at 99% water, and contains natural sugars, making it very sweet. Thousands of plants happen down there.
---History---
The Beginning--
After the Ice Age, and once humans developed a bit of intelligence, the first seeds of the Pythogrian people settled upon part of a continent. Modern Pythogria. They came from what is now the Genisis Islands, part of Pythogria nowadays. Once there, they thrived, adapting to the climate, hunting, settling, and building a civilization. It grew for the next 1,000 years or so. The Pyhoj religion and Pyzkrik martial arts were developed at this time.
The Colonials--
What is now Imperoc Island. Fleeing from a tyrranical regime, a group of people steals a fleet of ships, and settles on Gria Island. These people also adapt, but in different ways. They meet the natives. War breaks out. Thousands are killed. Then finally, peace is struck, both sides running out of supplies, people, and will to fight. It is unknown why the war started. At any rate, the civilizations combined. This is also when several mutations in the genome of the Pythogrians occured, thanks to several mutagens from a meteor shower. It is unknown where they came from, but in the end, all it did was make them taller, and make some... unusual mutations. (Silver/Gold hair, red irises, and stuff like that.)
Unity and Strength--
Unified, the Colonials and Natives were unstoppable. Governments were merged, into the current Limited Democracy. Cities were built. An empire forged. It eventually took all of modern Pythogria. The Romans would have been jealous. From here, the civilization grew, conquering nearby islands. At the beginning, it would have been called imperialism, but under a string of benevolent Supreme Generals, it turned into a much safer (and morally correct) form. However, it soon fell into isolationism. Nobody was around to have relations with.
Tech Revolution--
The technology of the Empire soon became much more advanced, with the first steam engines, then first cars (though those were abolished soon), then trains, and... well, the rest is history. In the end, this established the Pythogrian love of technology. Of course, isolaionism still thrived.
End of Isolation--
Many years and lots of development later, Pythogria elected a new Supreme General. Khonsu Izakabad. This man was the future. He ended Pythogrian isolationism, mainly because people could now actually travel to distant lands. (the ability wasn't new, but it just wasn't used.) Pythogria got allies, began wars, and became the power it is today! It isn't a superpower...
Yet.
---People---
The average native Pythogrian male adult is 6 feet, 6 inches tall. The average Pythogrian female adult is six feet, two inches tall. Native Pythogrians (depending on if they are of Native or Colonial descent) are either white, or tan. Hair colors are pretty various, but silver in males and gold in females is seen in about 40% of native Pythogrians (as in, not immigrants or people of different races.) Eye colors such as silver, gold and red are seen in 50% of native Pythogrian births.
Of course, this only counts for about 30% of the populace. The rest are immigrants, or were born in Pythogria but are from different races.
---Age Groups---
Infants (newborn-3): 12.6%
Children (4-10): 11.4%
Youth (11-15): 15.4%
Young Adults (16-20): 14.6%
Adults (21-35): 12%
Middle Aged (36-45): 11.8%
Pre-Senior (46-64): 12.2%
Senior (65+): 10%
---Religion---
Unlike most nations of the world, Pythogria is predominantly athiest. It does, however, allow most religions to be preached in prvate homes or in churches/shrines/temples/other places built for that purpose.
---Religious Breakdown---
Athiest: 30%
Agnostic: 10%
Christianity (all forms): 10%
Islam: 12%
Buddhism: 8%
Pythoj: 14.5%
Scientology: 0.5%
Others: 15%
---Transport---
Pythogria, being very environmentalist, does not use cars or roads for travel. Instead, it has built footpaths for smaller nieghbourhoods, conveyor belts for main roads, and bullet trains for inner-city transport or inrter-city transport. Carryalls, planes which pick up things, take off vertically, and set them down somewhere else, also move people around. Ferries are used too. This is all hydrogen-powered.
---Government---
Pythogria uses Democracy as a base for it's government, but utilizes the efficiency of a Dictatorship. A Supreme General is elected once every four years. He/she cannot change 3/4 of the laws, and has limited control over the other 1/4. They can do whatever they wish within a strict constitution. The Supreme General can be impeached via democratic vote. The current Supreme General is Ezal Ferel. Political parties aren't really used. Rather, individual candidates run for office democratically. Nazi candidates are banned, as are candidates that condone things outside Pythogrian law.
---Law---
Pythogrian police and law are very strict and firm, bt fair. All drugs are illegal, most guns are banned, and the death penalty is practiced for murder, rape, and other horrible crimes. Police are equipped with body armor, and ZP-1 pistols. Special or heavy units have ZA-1 assualt rifles. Police can shoot violent criminals or those attacking someone. Rascist presentations are also met with bullets. Crime is near totally unknown, due to the large amount of police. The average crime rate is one crime per 200 square miles.
---Military---
Pythogria uses heavily armed, heavily armored, hi-tech, slow, and sometimes expensive units in battle to win. Conscription is practiced only when needed.
---Military Breakup---
Imperial Pythogrian Army (Land Forces): 30%
Imperial Pythogrian Navy (Sea Forces): 30%
