The Kenomitian Universe | Volume VII - Geopolitics: The Web of Power
The intricate webs of power that govern the fate of all Kenomitians
Technocracy of Paraplex
The Technocracy of Paraplex is an underwater nation based on a Nano Punk Melanesia culturally, powered by crystalized lightning (Ramiel) and heating mud (Arakiel).
It is governed by a technocratic government that uses compulsory drug use to control its population. The official language is Pa-Oo (Hiri Motu) using the Barbeliotic script, and its political and economic system is Communism.
The capital is Eloiein (Bythosian city inspired by Port Moresby), located in Bythos.
It has extra-planetary colonies on Heimarmene and Horos, and extra-dimensional colonies including Jedediah, Abezethibou, Cocytus, Elysium, Sea of Suf, Shakah, The Mirkwood, and Wilweorthunga (Sea).
Its Pardes Laws are highly restrictive: Peshat are given drugs to hinder mental growth while augmenting physical/sexual capabilities and are brainwashed; Remez add sensory-enhancing substances; Derash are sexually prolific but detached; Sod receive beautifying plastic surgeries; and Partzufim get mental enhancers and are brainwashed.
Drakes/Drakainas and Archangels are treated as Partzufim, while Cambions are Peshat. Automata (cryptids, monsters, homunculi, golems, familiars) are considered property, and epimorphism is only for government officials. Mundane AIs are government property, and uplifted/parasapient tlavati are property of their creator/owner.
Only state-sponsored necromancers can truck with ghosts and corpses of elioud, though ghost creation is illegal.
Only government officials can practice Hypnosis, Eliomancy, Possession, Panopticon, Mindscaping, and Epimorphism on elioud. Emmakha citizens are treated as Remez.
Slavery is abolished, and megacorporate extraterritoriality is unrecognized, though Nuit Macroengineering, Ra-Hoor–Khuit, Hurtaly Corporation, Pantagruel Inc., ΘΕΛΗΜΑ, and Gadreel Enterprises have a presence. Paraplex is engaged in a hot war against Horaios and a cold war with Zalgo, while enduring raids from Choronzon and YEQON. Its Economic-Military Ranking is 26.
Its flag depicts a ring of six white moons on a black hoist and a golden lionfish silhouette on a red fly. Its anthem/slogan is “Song of Happiness”.
«The Kenomitian Universe» is a sci-fi, dark fantasy and urban fantasy setting centered around planet Kenoma: where sapient species of bestial mien thrive; anachronistic pseudoscience blends with black magic; pollution chokes the cities; monsters stalk the wilderness; dystopian governments and megacorporations rule the world; mighty mages spread chaos with every spell; miracles are born of suffering; and Demigods, Titans, Deities and Devils treat reality as their playground.
