Relician

Relician is a nation governed by a monarchy. The Commonwealth of Relician spans across 9 planets, the planets of Kepor, Julin, Retel, Gorpher, Orion, Sastian, Urin, Indio, and Fecor. Relician is an ally of the Republic Empire of Earth, and is a member of the Galactic Planets Alliance (GPA). Relician is governed based on Ages, a system of judgement and monarchy. Relician has a population of over 50 billion.

Early Settlements
Relician was founded in the early 1600's (BY) after Kepor was colonized by the Republic of Earth in its early days. In 1670 the Commonwealth of Relician officially declared independence from Earth and became it's own Planetary System. Soon, the Commonwealth began to grow and very quickly. Over 20 million people turned to 100 million with immigration by the end of the first century of Relician. This was dubbed the age of Creation, lead by the first High Prophet of Relician.

Relician quickly established itself as an interplanetary power due to it's mass amounts of oil, uranium, and excelarium, and as such, the planet grew. By the end of the 18th Century, they had a population of 10 Billion. Relician began to colonize other planets during their first age of Empowerment in 1698 all through 1720. The planets of Julin, Indio and Fecor where all colonized then and became planetary systems within the Commonwealth. They've all stayed governed by the same people ever since.

Independence
Evonian declared its independence from China in March of 1801. During this time, China was severely busy with internal issues and as such, recognized the nation rather than fight with it. They together signed the treaty of vapaus, a non-aggression treaty.

Evonian became a Semi-Presidential Republic with it's first leaders being elected in 1803.

The Deceleration of Independence today can be found in Evonian City's largest museum, The Museum of Evonian History. It's viewed by roughly 30 million people each year and is considered a popular tourist destination.

Demographics
Relician is made up of primarily Caucasian and Asian descents. Each group makes up roughly 30% of the population. Children make up about 25% of the population and attend government run schools until they're 18 years old before going off to 4-8 years of college in government schools. Students pick a direction to major in at 10, but can change it over time. Those who don't have a good advantage over the others.

Relician's primary planet and capital is Kepor, which comprises roughly 10 Billion people among the massive planet. Most of its citizens live in the floating Kepor City, which houses 8 billion people. The city contains the Dome, the governing center of the world and the commonwealth. The city also is the business and trade capital of the entire universe and is a huge host of interplanetary events and GPA meetings. Kepor is one of the largest planets is existence.

Julin is the Commonwealth's farm planet, Fecor their industrial planet, Indio their water and lumber planet, Gorpher their transport and labor planet, Retel their mining planet, Orion their Fishing planet (87% water), and Urin and Sastian both specialize in a long array of items.

Relician is proud to call 9 planets their own.

Culture
The Culture of Relician is very complex. Each government is formed on the idea of ages, a period of a specialty or common movement. The ages often direct events, economic items, religion and more as part of the systems planetary structure.

Many Relicians are Christian, Catholic of Hebrew, however, religious freedom is entirely allowed. Over 62% of citizens are religious, but not radically religious. Many attend church weekly and get off work for it. The nation tends to work 5 days out of the 7 day week, but many work more for overtime.

Relician recognizes many federal holidays including Christmas.

Politics
The Political Structure of Relician is of much interest to the rest of the galaxy as it's the only working non-democracy among several planets around. The leader of Relician, the High Prophet, takes power by staging a coup against the last High Prophet and winning over public support declaring a new age. If the coup is successful, the new High Prophet declares a new age, creates a government, fills the ministries, and often kills the former Prophet (though, it's more likely that happens during the coup).

The High Prophet serves until removed.
