Rewinxing Realms - Republic of Zenith and Confederaction of Titania
Two young kingdoms named like the two satellites where they are place. An ancient planet. you can't talk about one without talking about another. Inspiration in Egypt, Star Trek's Vulcans, and my personal wish that the only futuristic white thing in a few years is the OUTSIDE of the houses and that we got the miracle of renewable energy.
As I have already mentioned, both cultures were born in the planet Xemia, (single sun Maeva, in the Monoceros System) which was one of the oldest kingdoms of all, and in its origins the planet screamed what for us would be "Egypt" (but with an even more extreme climate that gave the possibility of snow). Only "survivor" of their system. Or at least Zenith and Titania are.
If Andros started interplanetary travel thanks to magic and the Infinite Ocean, Xemia narrowly won them thanks to sheer intellect. Of course it had to be a target to terminate. And of course the Xemians had a whole series of plans and alternatives to anything that could happen to them and their satellites were already terraformed for them precisely in case something like this could happen to them.
Xemia was the home planet of the giants, although it soon became a place where all the scholars went so now there is no predominant race in any of its satellites but it can be said that they are all somewhat giants.
Living in different places has led to the development of some different ideologies but they maintain in common the goal of restoring Xemia to its original glory and an ideological trend that for obvious reasons gained strength after the war and is that "feelings are a nuisance".
Tecna hails from the Republic of Zenith whose current president is King Cryos and his spouse Tesla (Magnethia's sibling, Tecna's aunt/uncle whom she looks a lot like). Its symbol is a triangle and it's always covered with snow, which is actually the residual water product of Nuclear Fusion that they use to sustain their cities merged with the temperatures of the satellite.
The Confederation of Titania is a smaller satellite that uses a semi-direct democracy (think Switzerland) as a form of government. Its symbol is hexagons and/or circles. Tecna's mother (Magnethia, Tesla's sibling) is currently part of the Parliament and this is where her family has resided for the last couple of years even though they are all from Zenith and in her heart, Tecna belongs to Zenith. Like Zenith, the temperatures are very low but "apparently" they have hardly any snow. That's because this is their main source of energy. Yes, they use snow as a source of renewable energy so they get farmland.
As in both places the temperatures were extreme, the clothing varies from the typical one that we now see in Islamic countries (robes covering from head / neck to feet) in pure winter to that of ancient Egypt in its summer (which, according to Solarians, still is f*cking Winter) but with geometric, colorful lines. Going bareheaded, both men and women is a sign of confidence, comfort and security (because in the cold it is better to wear it covered, so you’re safe if you have your head discovered), although this is not so much in recent times. Sometimes the clothes have a bit of a Vietnamese feel too.
Between the two there is a tug of war of wasting resources and space a bit silly in the eyes of outsiders. Also too many numbers involved. (Digit squeal when found out about this dilemma and they're dedicated to supporting both sides because both are Tecna's home and it's funny). But both places are practically mirrors with the difference of having or not having snow, geometric lines, more or less plantlife, both white designs and both with colorful interiors. They are/is the most advanced kingdom of the System even when like the others, they have lost part of their knowledge.
Both territories export energy and modified foods that serve as enhancers and allow the absorption of all nutrients in small capsules (which do wonderful emergency rations). Also medicines. Electronics, animation movies and videogames are also common to come from here.
Zenith also exports water (as you read) and Titania takes advantage of the fact that there is no snow to continue growing and exporting certain plants native to Xemia (similar to papyrus, flax and barley).
