United Stars of Woglinde

The United Stars of Woglinde, also known simply as Woglinde, is an interstellar nation within the Known Galaxy. It is a parliamentary republic formed by the majority of worlds that were under the jurisdiction of the Taichii Overlords of the Yohzhu Empire.

Woglinde traces its origins back to the civilizations of Kiyoshimo and their descendents, the later planetary colonies and the genetically engineered Spaceborne. The Bitter War between the doturi and Spaceborne had already devastated the Galyr System, making both sides fall easily to the invading Yohzhu Empire and TAWN. During the Eternal War, the Occupation Migration brought great numbers of other species from across the Yohzhu Empire, mixing cultures to form the modern society. After the war the political apparatus left behind by Yohzhu declared itself the government of the Taichii regions. A year of negotiations led by the multi-ethnic pro-peace organization, the Peace Congress, resulted in a new constitution to establish the United Stars of Woglinde on April 21, 3478.

For 44 years, Woglinde was under the one-party rule of the Peace Congress, which used their position to intimidate potential political rivals and rig elections. During the Peaceable Era, Woglinde consolidated its outflung territories and cracked down on ethnic violence and piracy. While economic growth made Woglinde prosperous, the wealth was concentrated in an elite minority, usually Peace Congress benefactors. In 3517, the Free Democracy Party was formed by mostly upper middle-class workers and university students frustrated by the lack of upward political mobility. The FDP narrowly lost the next year's national elections, and many of the party's leaders were arrested on trumped up charges. The Depression of 3519 and the severe response of the government by cutting social spending resulted in unrest that led to the FDP sweeping the Elections of 5324 despite fraud committed by the Peace Congress.

When the government declared the election results void, FDP supporters and the police clashed, beginning the Wolgindian Revolution.

Etymology
The name Woglinde comes from a mythological kingdom in the ancient Zort civilization. Zortian culture had a profound impact on later civilizations on Kiyoshimo, its stories becoming part of classical literature and reinterpretation over the centuries

Population
Woglinde has a population of approximately 34 billion inhabitants. The nation's majority ethnic group (National census does not specify beyond species) comes from the native dotur and Spaceborne population. The descendents of garrison units brought over to enforce the Hazavin Accord, primarily he-tai, kell, quenos, sirians, and theran, form the bulk of the remaining population. Subsequent immigration by other species represents the remaining minority.
