Capital Status: Lots of tall buildings, clean, lots of public transportation, parks, crafts and ships are in the air, going to large open air markets of large goverment buildings.
Notable locations and such: Engio, the original star, New Engia, Toran, Caprica, Flomas.
Founding Species: Engi Erectus
Other Species: None, some people might immigrate to the country thought...
=========================================================
Society and Cultural information: Based off of the Atomic Era.
Society Status Good social mobility, capitalists, avid environmentalists.
Languages Haale
Economy: 6, worlds trade with each other, large markets of metals and other goods, however the economy varies per world.
Industry: Ship building, good productions, building supplies, your regular production of goods.
Production/Construction: Some worlds are just dedicated to producing goods, and they do it quickly and well. Sometimes 3D printing is used to produce goods on more populated worlds.
Soopah Powah: Engi-Erectus
Or just “Engi” for short, these creatures are mammals that originate from the Planet Engia. They are Silicon based life-forms, and can resist high temperatures and relatively cool fires. However, because of this, they require more energy to metabolize and carry out other life functions, due to the fact that silicon is harder to break down then carbon. This also means that carbon based organic molecules do not interact with the body, and that a modified form of Glucose, with Silicon instead of Carbon, is used to gain energy. Their DNA, unlike that of most organisms, is left handed, making common viruses in other species that are right handed have no effect on them. However, viruses from Engia do affect Engis, but their immune system can fight off most of these diseases without medication. Engi’s require Oxygen to carry out Cellular Respiration. Due to the lack of foliage on the planet, Engi’s gain their green skin pigment from chlorophyll in their skin cells that is used to make the food the organisms cannot obtain from the environment. When food is plentiful and or during long periods of not being in the sun however, the dark green goes away, and the organism must rely of food from other sources. Female and male Engies look mostly the same. Females however can give birth to three offspring in six months. Engi’s can survive in Earth like environments, are resistance to burns and higher temperatures, but they have a difficult time in colder environments.

Engia
The name of the Engi home world, is the Second Planet from the Star it orbits. The planet is just at the front end of the “habitable zone.” The planet surface contains little foliage, and all of the continents connect, with six medium sized oceans that contain salt water. There are other pockets of fresh water on the planet, and the polar ice caps are small relative to other planets.

Engio
Originally a Main sequence star, like the Sun but many times larger, the star slowly began to run out of its fuel as life of Engia began to thrive. Due to the size of the star and its distance from Engia, the star forced the life on the planet to cope with high temperatures. The star, in time, forces the Engi race into interstellar travel in the “Great Exile” and causes the death of billions of Engis and the loss of their home system.

History of Engia
Over the Engi Civilization, three types of governments arose to dominate the planet. The Republic of Haal, The People’s Republic of Choee and the Empire of Engio. These three nations were all stable and supported civil rights and liberties. All resembled the “Atomic Era” of Planet Earth, and lived in relative peace with each other, due to the threat of all out nuclear war. Each nation had large arsenals of nuclear weapons, and none of them desired to have them be used. However, they all competed to master and discover new technologies. The space race for them never ended, with each nation trying to land, colonize and claim resources, planets and moons in outer space. However, soon a terrible discovery was made. The Engi’s discovered their star was going to die. Using their stockpile of Nuclear Weapons, Asteroid mines and other resources, the three nations competed in launching Interstellar Craft. These craft used Nuclear Pulse Technology, and were assembled in orbit. By using Embryos, Deep Hibernating technology and integrating technology into the Engi physiology, the three nations set out into the stars in desperation. Two thousand years passed with the nations launching their ships, and then, without warning, Engio went Nova, killing 10 Billion Engies and destroying their Home system. In total, 500 Colonial ships were launched colonizing roughly 62 worlds, with four ships per star. Each ship has a crew of 100, with thousands of embryos from Engies and animal and plant life from their home system. These ships took roughly 100 years to reach their targets. Here the crew were awoken, embryos raised and planets, moons and other bodies colonized.
War of Unification and the Formation of the Engi Confederation
After communication with their home system was lost, the colonies were self-governing. However, some colonies wanted to put all of the colonies under one government. The sides of the war were determined by who wanted to unify and who didn’t, not based on Ideology. With non FTL communication and ships, the war lasted a thousand years, with battles few and far between, but lethal. Alliances were formed, broken and reformed. New technologies were developed to protect planets and moons, with Orbiting Defense platforms becoming the norm for all colonies. However, a third side arose, one perching a joint government but self-governing planets. Soon the Engi Confederation was born, meeting on New Engia. The government let the colonies govern themselves, but they had to follow the laws and regulations set out by the government. It is a Representative Democracy, and soon after its formation there was a golden age, with FTL communication, the anisable, and FTL drives being decoupled, along with other technologies improving Engi life.
Specialties/Advanced Sciences: Quantum jumping technology, advanced AI computers, Quantum computing, cloaking technology, FTL communications.
Strengths: Good with engineering, technology, and studying.
Weaknesses: Not good in hand to hand combat, need a lot of food to survive.
=========================================================
Map Claim Size: 6
Grid Coordinates: T,A U,A T,B U,B V,A T,C
Map Claim Color: Dark Green, or brown.
Holdings/Territory:62 planets, if that is ok, only 15 star systems thought. Must i list them all? I am not great at names... Some are moons also.
Colonization/expansion:The confederation no longer supports colonization efforts, but each world can fund colonization missions. This is usally done by a fleet of military and civilian ships jumping to the planet, establishing a base. Over time this will grow, but for a time it is dependent on the ships in orbit.
=========================================================
Foreign policy: Kindly, and with respect.
Diplomacy: Will be allies
for food if we find something to work on.
Technological Age: 5,000 ( I can't really tell...)
FTL Capabilities: Medium ranged Quantum jumping,
Inter Planetary Travel Short ranged Quantum jumped.
=========================================================
Military Information: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=unit ... /id=161976, Jumping Javelin Missile, cloaking technology, hull strength.
Doctrine: Each world has it's own fleet, but all must contribute to the Confederation's navy. All worlds have an orbital defense system, bunkers, and anti air guns.
Army:Guerrilla warfare, stealth, artillery.
Navy: Quantum Jumps, Javelins, cloaking devices.
Strengths: Can move quickly and efficiently, can take a beating for a time, can attack from long range.
Weaknesses: Not that many ships in the feet, relative to other nations.
=========================================================
NS activity: Pretty active
