One Thousand Club
Nation Name; Soforaz Alliance
Flag; A black background with a Carbon Atom in blue upon it, representing the unification of Carbon based life, The perfection of the numeral 8, and the Home system of the Soforaz with it's 8 planets around a single sun.
Leader; Caliph Zenrox, the 4th, Descendant of te Zenrox the 1st hero of the Robot wars and unifier of the Soforaz species.
Race;
The Soforoz are a blue and black Otopodal race of cepholopods.
Though any limb can be used as leg or arm...
The second and fourth sets of limbs are primarily for locomotion and the first and third setsare designed for manipulation.
Racial Ability) Work Smarter,Not Harder: While Physically Weak and small, Standing only 1 meter at their tallest, the Soforaz are possessed of a keen and adaptive mind. they are quick to analyze their surroundings and comprehend how things work together.
Racial Ability) Multi-Tasking: Evolved to manipulate 8 arms at once a Soforaz can maintain upon numerous things at once depending on the individual, The simplest of citizens able to focus in two places, Leaders are often judged by their Focus rating. Rumors abound that Zenrox manually balances the government's budget in his mind
Residual Ability) Amphibious: A Soforaz can breath underwater, and do to swimming adaptions function well in Zero G as well. Soforaz ships often having no gravity, except for 'spin sections' for scientific work.
Form of Government
Hereditary monarchy.
Important Officials
List as few or as many as you want. Have them be available for play or keep it private, that's up to you.
Economic System
Reward oriented communism.
Each is provided for at a basic level.
Populaion control measures prevent over population.
Success within a profession is rewarded with bonuses.
Corruption and Anti-social tendencies are often dealt with most harshly as the system breaks down with 'cheaters'.

Currency
the Datum; The first Big Bonuses were granted during the martial law of the Robot wars, to researchers that made the first successful advances in interpretting the robot codes. The Datum is often considered an information-backed currency.
Nation Bonus
Publish Or Perish: Soforaz learn from an early age that it is by research and discovery that their race continues to advance. Scientific professions. Science is a respected career with noted scientist revered much as a great warrior might be in another culture.
History
The Soforaz developed upon a Blue-Green world, the sorts commonly inhabited by Carbon based oxygen respiring oranism though with a pair of moons. Amphibious in nature they no longer required the ocean's embrace beyond a short period after hatching. They had developed as many races do, through tribal warfares and into kingdoms and civilizations. It was when some few fleeing the oppression of kings beneath the sea took to the land upon a permanent basis that the Sciences of the Soforaz people began to develop rapidly...
Even so intersteller spacetravel was centuries away yet as they had only recently launched their first forays to the larger of the two moons. The Direction of the entire race changed upon the day of the crash. who the aliens were is unknown, their ship was caniblized by worked drones almost before the natives could register it's arrival. The drones built a factory, and began to seek out raw materials to feed into it, building more drones from the parts. What had seemed a perhaps joyous occassion, First contact and proof that the Soforaz were not alone, turned deadly as the Von Neauman Invasion began.
The Robot war led to grand jumps in Soforaz Technology, as the robot's adapted to the humid and watery conditions of the world. Were the Soforaz any slower they would have succumbed under the evolving and ever more deadly assaults. As it was one Scientist, Zenrox the first, discovered the source code to the invading drones. Slowly the war began to change, and then suddenly... Victory..!
Then there came the question. What now?
The soforaz race had found that the universe was indeed inhabited by other inteligences.. but in the same instant found those same inteligences to be hostile. As one the race began to construct defences, and fortifications... they would be ready when the next race decided to assault their world.
Many people sacrificed much to build the planetary fortifications. and many more to then expand those to moon based forward bases...
the soforaz home system possessed 8 planets, one readily habitable, 4 more that might have been with Alien inspired terraforming techniques Two gas giants, and a half shattered and pummeled world that formed an outer ring of asteroids around the system, its nature such that had it not been a battered wreck from millenia of collisions with it's own spun off asteroids, it would have been a massive world....
The cepholopodly folk set to fortifying, the secret of the stars was theirs, but first things were first, all science and research focused on the fortification of their home world and system....
Now it is three Generations later and the great project is over, now with the people of the Allied Planets of Soforaz gathered and feeling safe, they have begun setting work to build a fleet... Ships to see the stars and see what;s out there... Ships to expand Soforaz reach in all 8 directions..
CultureThe soforaz experienced a near brush with extinction only a very short time ago in the memories of it;s people, as such they are a careful folk, posessed of a mighty intellect and a desire to sit back and reason out the situation before leaping into the fray...
They often rely upon Robotic assistance when physical might is needed. Even to the point where some of their military wire themselves permenantly into some of the equipment.
The Saving grace of Science left a vast impression upon an impressionable racial psyche when they turned the war in their facvor. A proper Scientist is a cause for celebration, with major victories being heralded by state sanctioned days of rest and recreation....
Nation Goals
The soforaz are a young race, they seek to explore the galaxy. to widen their own scientific breakthroughs, and ensure they are never again caught unawares...
