Legal Name: Imperium Draconix
Short Name: Mokuga
Government: Homicidal Meritocracy/Theocracy/Corporate Kleptocracy
Every Mokugan is born with a rank, based on their order of birth. Whenever a Mokugan above them dies, the Mokugan’s rank goes up. The first rank commands the nation as Imperator Draconix. The second rank is held is stasis until the first rank dies and they become Imperator Draconix. Anyone of higher rank can order around someone of lower rank, but this can be unwise depending on circumstance… you can use your imagination on that one.
At the same time, Mokuga is ruled by its Church, the Church of the Great Dragon Corporation. Though they have no actual power beyond their corporate function, they control Mokugan culture utterly as the state religion. The Church functions on the same Meritocratic system as Mokugan culture, but uses a wholly separate hierarchy. So, you could be #7 in government and still be #230 Billion in the Church. YOUR SOUL IS IN DANGER!
Finally come the Corporations, perhaps the most important part of Mokugan culture. These massive semi-private entities (for any corporation may at any time come under the control of the Imperator, due to his #1 rank) create and control everything on Mokuga, as well as its military.
Heads of State: Imperator Draconix and High Priest Klyvarix, Black Scale .01
The current Imperator is also the High Priest, due to some selective breeding.
Economy: Invisible Hand Capitalism
Population: Approx. 500 Billion
230 Billion Mokugans
250 Billion Slaves of Various Races
20 Billlion Human Slaves
Religion:
229.899 Billion Dragon Worship
Mokugan religion is a strange reverse of Dark Ages Christian ideals, based on the worship of the primal Mokugan deity mixed with Satan, known as the Great Dragon. In the beginning, the Great Dragon gave birth to 7 Lesser Dragons: Lust, Wrath, Pride, Sloth, Greed, Cruelty and Virtue. Virtue rebelled and renamed itself God, taking under its wing the weakling humans, while the rest governed over the true followers, the Mokugans. They are fond of human sacrifice.
.100 Billion Law Worship
Amongsk the Black Scales, the elite Peacekeepers of Mokuga, there is a strange cult which controls entirely this noble organization. They worship, instead of the Great Dragon, an entity known as Order which supposedly descended from the heavens and made the idea of Law, set in stone. Officially, they worship the Great Dragon in its Tyranny aspect, but in secret they know that the two are separate entities and so on and so forth.
.001 Billion Christianity
This information is not from any census. On Mokuga, Christianity is very illegal. The sect of Christianity is a strange offspring of years of church propaganda and honest desire to be decent people from a race of hideous space monsters. These Christians are hunted like dogs by the Black Scales.
270.000 Billion Uncounted (Slave)
History: The Mokugans were originally a race of roving space pirates, united into crude technobarbaric clans. Then, they came across Earth, Holy Terra as they call it. During one of their raids, they discovered the joys of Christianity, and the reverse thereof. A great prophet, Mokuganix (for whom the race is named), arose from the ranks of these proto-Mokugans and they founded a nation around a planet they found, which became Draconis Prime. From that point on, the Draconic Empire developed into what it is today through a series of political reforms, etc.
Dominant Species: Mokugans
Your average Mokugan is about 8’ tall, starvation-level thin and
covered in thick scales, which range from green to red (any Mokugan born with black scales is put into the Black Scales Peacekeepers). They have great, scything claws, bladed tails and huge, stretching wings. Their eyes glow pure red and their teeth are razor sharp and distressingly large. Their faces resemble the face of a lizard, but flat like that of a human. I dunno, an illustration would help.
Political Philosophy: Mokugans believe in the greater harm, that is, doing as much bad for everyone as possible. Your average Mokugan is a batshit insane religious fanatic/hideous monster, but someone in the diplomatic scene will very rarely encounter one of these. Mokugan diplomats are prided on their diplomatic skill and ability to suppress their burning hatred of the lesser races for the greater good of the master race.
Legal System:
In Mokuga, all crimes are punishable by death. Summary executions are carried out by the Black Scales on a daily basis. Higher crimes, like Treason or Heresy, are punishable instead by an eternity of torture.
