Fiction:United Republic of Grubmolians

Information
The United Republic of Grubmolians, also shortened as "URG" or "ROG" is a minor imperial territory located in the Carina Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Composed of 96 star systems in total, the republic is known for its diplomatic and strange philosophy and choice of budgeting.

They're currently keeping their eyes on relationships and trade deals.

That includes you, Void Eye Empire.

Government
The Government is headed by the Emperor, who's job is to protect, communicate, and do the empire good in any way. The Emperor cannot make up laws without the consent of the citizens and the Council. He is protected by several body guards, and is expected to spend most money collected on education and housing than military, which may explain the lack of proper defense.

Ipliq
Ipliq, now the executive leader and emperor of the Republic has taken over from his brother's position.

Tyrolox
While no longer emperor, After therapy, Tyrolox has chosen to pursue a position in technology and design.

Military
The Empire is weak in its regards of military due to the lack of proper funding from the Government. War weapons such as nuclear bombs and vehicles are produced in small amounts and rarely used in a given situation. There has not been a major interstellar war in the history of the empire, and its citizens have been lead to believe that an incoming conflict is impossible.

Heavy Carrier
The "Heavy Carrier", or TTMV by most personnel is a large, cargo and defense hover-ship used to transport ammo, vehicles, and medical care to war-sites. Produced in low numbers (100-200/yr) It's one of the most well defended vehicle in the armada and is also the most expensive to make (6,000,000 SB)

Grubamolaw
Being a rather small and weak spaceship, this class is used by scouts and lend to explorers for spice trade and colonization. Produced in high numbers and one of their cheapest ships to make (250,000-565,000 SB), the Grubamolaw is also used by scouts in the military and are encountered in large groups due to their weakness being single against an opponent.

Philosophy
Grybolixism is a mix of several philosophies making up their religions and cultural differences. They are known for their high respect of nature and understanding of life as a whole, but most closely match a mix of a bard and shaman.

They strongly despise Groxism/Groxology.

And yes, they will automatically hate you if you follow that philosophy.

Architecture
The style of Grubmolian architecture is often viewed steampunk-esque. Most buildings often follow a bluish, green, and brown color pallete, although some are highly more diverse in pattern.
