Ducaria Republic

The Ducaria Republic is one of the earliest known civilizations that was formed after landing on the habitable moon, Quillos, and a member of the Juda Federation. It is a pacifistic nation that focuses on diplomacy over war in order to promote peace in the new galaxy and only use its military to defend and assist when all other alternatives have been exhausted.

History
After the "Great Exodus", a mysterious wormhole appeared and sucked in all the fleets. This also include the Polo Flotilla as they appeared in a strange new galaxy with stellar storms, portals that leak energy from The Shroud, gaseous nebulae and many strange stellar phenomena and substances. Among the fleet, The Homebound Phoenix, have its passengers and crew awaken along with everyone else in the fleet. Once awaken, they see a beautiful but highly dangerous new galaxy they are in which is a huge shock while also noticing a few mutations happening to them while slowly dying from these changes. The first to die was the admiral of the entire fleet who have succumb to an illness caused by the stellar anomalies. Captain Coronato La Fazia of The Traveling Venetian, called an emergency meeting.

La Fazia suggested that they use the experimental technology they have in order to survive in the pickle they found themselves in. All the captains agree, including Captain Joseph Ducaria of The Homebound Phoenix. Everyone aboard are given cybernetics to prevent any further mutation. However, the only form of mutation is in the form of psychic powers as some parts of their body receive the "upgrades". Afterwards, what they realize later, their descendants later become a form of synthetic lifeform that have their organic parts replaced with cybernetics as they get older, still able to reproduce, and much more. Thus the creation of the Gudirus.

Once the probes have done surveying a habitable spot, The Homebound Phoenix landed on the continent, Mudoros of the moon, Quillos, orbiting Juda Primaris. The people promise themselves to only use weapons as a means of defense, protect the innocent and fight against any injustice. Joseph Ducaria help create a society that prefers more peaceful solutions and avoid the mistakes made in humanity's past. After nine years of teaching, building and making a new life on Quillos, Joseph Ducaria pass away due to a malfunction with his heart implant. In his honor, the Ducaria Republic has been established.

Culture
The Ducaria Republic is a pacifistic nation that prefer to use diplomacy and are a democratic people. They want to avoid the mistakes of the past and the horrors of war that destroyed Earth since their departure. The people of the Ducaria Republic only use violence to defend themselves, protect the weak and fight against injustices in the galaxy. A paradox to their philosophy but violence should be used as a final solution when all other options have no effect. Memories of the horrors are passed down from generation to generation so the descendants may learn the horrible price that was paid. For that, they have become a peaceful society with no hint of violence.

Even though the people of the Ducaria Republic are non-violent, there are those that still have violent tendencies. After all, they are still human underneath. To prevent any form of violent outburst, they use video games as a means to reduce the violent tendencies people still have with many games include a special program to keep the Gudirus non-violent in real life. It maybe a bit unethical, but it is one way to ensure peace and stability can be achieved in the republic. Some stress relieving activities such as sports of every kind such as skiing, football (as in the British football where people actually kick the ball, like soccer), and many more.

The architecture and aesthetics is a mix of European and Japanese cyberpunk.

The Ducaria Republic is free from any sort of violence. Instead of street gangs fighting for territory, they help out with community services. Instead of people getting upset with losing, they accept the lost with grace and learn from it. Instead of backstabbing corporations, they cooperate to ensure a successful future. All forms of corruption has been eliminated.

The Ducaria Republic is very well known for many relief aids during times of crisis.

Economy
The Ducaria Republic's major incomes come from the raw materials found in the eastern volcanic mountains such as precious metals, minerals and strange crystals that emit a strange amount of energy that can be used for heat and power. These "lava crystals" can only be found in the Puapua Volcanic Range.

Another source comes from the video games they make that prevent violence while committing violence in the games rather than real-life. A form of pacification to prevent any form of violent tendencies and to help those with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Ducaria Republic is also known for giving donations in many relief efforts, including cybernetic augmentations and synthetic organs.

Politics
The Ducaria Republic is a democratic and pacifistic nation. Both the Prime Minister and the Ducaria Parliament have a great amount of authority, but it is the people that help decide on the fate of the republic. All have to support peace and unity no matter the cost for it is their job to ensure a peaceful existence while keeping all diplomatic channels open. If the Prime Minister, or any members of Parliament, were to commit a crime or decide to declare war that doesn't involve any of the principles, they are forced to resign or face war charges. Peace is never easy, but they do what they must. Elections for the next Prime Minister is held every five years.

The Ducaria Parliament is divided between the Republican Legislation and the Federal Legislation. The Republican Legislation represents the original states that founded the Ducaria Republic, twenty in all, and each state has five representatives appointed by the Prime Minister, which is a total of a hundred members. The Federal Legislation represents emissaries from each of the other nations that make up the Juda Federations along with the colonies. So far, it has extended up to 256 members.

The Judicial Office of Law and Justice is the judicial branch of the Ducaria Republic.

Geography
The Ducaria Republic is situated in the continent of Ducarios of Quillos, located in the eastern side of the moon. To the far east, there is a vast mountain range made-up of volcanoes that are constantly erupting. To the west of the Puapua Volcanic Range, there is an ash covered desert known as, The Red Waste. The rest of the continent consists of forests, mangroves, rolling prairies and very tall peaks.

Yet on the western part of Ducarios, there is a massive amount of corals that are large as mountains with their own ecosystem. It is a popular tourist attraction.

The capital, Pax, is located on the southern peninsula of the middle-west near the ocean.
