-[X] Origin: The disenfranchised and disaffected from all across the world, those who seek a work better than the current one that is bound by greed, the whims of a few hyper-rich, and the insanity of a handful of hyper-states.
-[X] Flavor Text: It is uncertain how old the Prime Minister of the Republic, a man known only as Kane, is. What is known is that he has spent the last twenty years carefully cultivating a movement that is equal parts cult of personality, and a comprehensive vision for the reformation of society on Earth. While the trappings of the Republic, and the Brotherhood before the Republic was truly founded, are exceedingly religious, in its day to day operation it is generally secular and pluralist. The core beliefs of the actual Brotherhood (a name retained by the pseudo-religious collective that many, but not all, members of the nation belong to) are cross-religious, as they call upon shared principles from almost all belief systems, though especially those of the Abrahamic faiths. Kane has purposefully cultivated a culture that emphasizes open minds and open arms, while working to build a nation who, despite its small land claims, is thoroughly intended to one day stretch much farther. The Republic stands today as a testament to those who were disgusted with the petty bickering and infighting that even Usea, threatened as it was by the incoming asteroid, was experiencing. From the roots of their communal and collectivist leanings, the Republic of Nod has morphed into a mixed-economy nation that conducts democratic elections for all positions up to the Senior Council, though said Council's members are generally elected by the larger Parliament. The Primer Minister is selected by the Senior Council, though despite seeing a few seats change even in just the last few years, the Minister has been, and is, Kane himself. He has promised to not only see the Republic, Usea, and the world protected from the imminent threat of the asteroid, but, in time, protected from the predations of autocratic kings and ruthless robber-barons. The revolution is night, and the people will sing with joy as they embrace Peace, Unity, and Brotherhood!
