Juzulos Federation

The United Federation of Juzulos, or simply Juzulos Federation, was formed from the ships, Garvey and Shaka. It's human ancestors were primarily African and it is a member of the Organa Confederacy.

History
Many years ago, Earth was reaching its destruction with all the humans boarding the spacecrafts of many flotillas known as, "The Great Exodus". Two ships, Shaka and Garvey, are part of the Armstrong Flotilla that took on many people from various parts of Africa. Unlike the other flotillas in the forty-two fleets, the Armstrong Flotilla have their passengers in special pods filled with a fluid that keeps them in suspended animation as they get modified while en route to Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, after a hundred years, a massive wormhole appeared that caused the entire flotilla to appear in a completely different galaxy along with the other fleets. The Armstrong Flotilla appeared in the same galaxy as the other fleets, but in a completely different sector. The galaxy they appeared in is full of strange substances, The Shroud, celestial storms and many more. The entire flotilla had to make more adjustments to the people to prevent any more mutations before they may suffer from the negative effects.

Everyone aboard the ships exited out of their pods to assest the situation. Bad luck struck again when an asteroid storm forced many of the ships to make emergency landings on the five moons of a gas giant. Both ships managed to land on the foggy moon while the three others landed somewhere else on this world. Out of these two ships, two new subspecies of humans emerged known as the Azurioans and the Nazjulims. Has luck would have it, they landed close to each other in a fog ridden valley close to geothermal vents at the base of a large mountain. Both of these races started to work together to survive in this strange new world where the sun rarely shines through. They constructed geothermal power plants from much of the materials they've kept, made tools and houses out of various ship parts as well as labs to research much of the wildlife and flora as well as some strange new minerals. Some even used the mining tunnels to establish towns and villages to keep out the more hostile predators. Some have taken up old spiritual traditions and cultures to become strong in both mind and spirit as they survive.

After 99 years, the people have flourished and thus, the Juzulos Federation is born. Almost everyone have begun to enjoy this new country they have founded and started creating an entirely new culture based on a few Christian and Islamic beliefs mixed with many traditional African ones. But around 114 AF, they encountered an entirely different nation far from their home and up in the mountains. This new country is known as the, Meq'Jaz Kingdom. A constitutional monarchy nation that has an Indo-Islamic culture. The people of the Kingdom consider those that live in the valleys as inferior as they live close to the fog. As a result, major mistrusts between the Federation and the Kingdom occur with both sides having absolutely nothing to do each other as they stay on their side of the moon. Both sides thrive yet they keep an eye on each other to ensure no side is gonna try to start a war.

On 215 AF, both sides managed to get satellites up in the air and receive messages from the other moons. The Meq'Jaz Kingdom and the Juzulos Federation became part of the Confederacy in 235 AF. Even though they are working together with other nations, they still don't trust each other.

Culture
The Juzulos Federation is a federal presidential republic with the territories having some level of autonomy. Each of the territories have their own unique type of customs and some form of culture. In some areas, there are people that want to live like tribal or primitive ways in order to prevent any environmental disaster. Although the more spiritual members believe that it is to connect with the spirits of the world. Others prefer to be agrarian after finding a few plants that can clear up some fog that make farming suitable although try to avoid damaging the environment. Some prefer to live in the deep caves and created many Northern African architecture cities with strange glowing crystals that act just like sunlight in the day yet get very dim around nightfall.

Out in the wilds and farms, many have taken up many of the old African shamanisms and religions mixed with a few new ones. But there are a few that are Islamic or Christian with very small churches or shrines. Yet it is the cities that follow the Islamic and Christian faiths with a small number of other African religions in them.

In politics, the many tribes have seats in the House of Representatives so they can have a voice

Economy
Jumos is the primary currency of the Juzulos Federation.

Much of the economy comes from the mining in the mountains with power coming from the various geothermal vents. The cities are carved out of the mines in the mountains and much of the ores and heavy metals are smelted and manufactured while much of the rocks are used for construction or making statues or various other items. Geothermal energy is the basis for power to provide heat and electricity for all the cities while long cables are stretched to nearby settlements.
