Notes/Ideas

 * Largely autocratic government (one major leader, considerable weak legislative; considerable patriarchal given nation population; male patriarch with the largest family considered absolute ruler, having the force to impose his will on the other major families by force)
 * Xenophobic policies (highly nationalistic and imperialistic media)
 * Hi-tech infrastructure (magnetic railways and extensive use of fusion power)
 * New language (use Cyrillic for written language and Hindi back-translation for transliteration)
 * Unique dress and clothing (unsure of current aims)
 * Island nation (no room for nation history on the mainland)
 * Possibly cold and humid environment; very misty and snows heavily
 * Monotheistic religion built around law and order (nation named after the sole deity of the religion - Xanuism; totally ethno-religious; followers of Xanus automatically considered Xai; similar to Judaism/Jews and Shintoists/Japanese)
 * All-pervasive police state (lots of cameras and thought police; needed to stop inter-family conflicts and spying)
 * Social acceptance for totalitarianism (people despise democracy and feel uncomfortable making political choices for a nation; believe it to be superior to democracy in keeping fighting out of the government)
 * Powerful military force (possibly add mechanized combat suits and hovercraft <- the latter maybe not)
 * Currently ten generations (250 years) ahead of modern technology; technology not reverse-engineerable
 * Heavily-supportive population (lots of propaganda, but very knowledgeable citizens capable of actively supporting government on own initiative)
 * War is considerable enjoyable, thus the Xai often more to start them themselves, or spark one between nations and randomly join a side (since death is irrelevant in Xai life and culture, war is not considered serious business as lives can easily be replaced)
 * Possibly near-human ethnic group (change up in biology means men give birth; genetic balancing means male/female ratio 1:5, 1:10, or 1:15; fertile male population historically fought over by larger female population)
 * Nation located in the North Pacific Ocean near Russia, Japan and Alaska
 * Minimalist and aesthetic culture (obsessed with sharp geometric shapes, and the colors black and dark purple; the latter similar to amethyst in color)
 * Highly productive lands (volcanic soil, iron-rich mountains-aiming for self-sufficiency)
 * Homogeneous culture, lack of intellectual deviation (possibly explained by separate mode of thinking in the ethnic group)
 * Very ancient civilization (rivals China in sheer age and regional influence)
 * Low crime and high wages (no tolerance for criminals and collective desire for prosperity)
 * Nominal gender equality; men largely run the religion and government, and women run most other functions such as the economy and military (smaller and more valuable male population placed in leadership roles often against their will)
 * Very long names (personal name, followed by generational title, that is, number of times reborn, then the house name and family name; example: Fadus Phiphtha (or the Fifth) Iona Jakanora)
 * Eldest male with the largest and most powerful family of his house will often be elected the leader of the nation

Government Info

 * Government headed by the leaders of the Church (Patriarch), Judiciary (Chancellor), and military (Supreme Commander).
 * The Patriarch is mainly a symbolic leader, but possesses vast sway with the people. He runs the largest organized religion in the world, and thus can influence the opinion of his children.
 * The Chancellor handles all major government functions, and is the head of the Judiciary of Xyon. She is often responsible for pushing the Patriarch into declaring a crusade for the sake of his sisters and keeping the population occupied with something to do to avoid civil war.
 * The Supreme Commander oversees the training, operation and deployment of the Obsidian Guard, which is tasked with keeping the numerous house and family militaries from destroying one another when there is no war to channel their energy into.

Military Notes

 * The military is divided into eleven forces; one for each of the subdivisions of the nation, and one for the nation as a whole. This force is tasked with enforcing government edicts and peace between the ten families of the nation.
 * Soldiers wear flag badges of their native subdivision instead of the flag badge of their homeland when deployed in the nation. They wear dual flag badges when deployed overseas; one of the nation, and one of the subdivision they are from.
 * The military is divided into multiple branches, all of which are also founded in each of the individual subdivision military forces. These are the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Special Forces.
