Highinlas (faction)
Highinlas is a merchant nation, dealing in merchandise of all kinds, from the latest fashion and technology, to slaves and drugs. They are allied with Atlantis, though it is somewhat tense due to their standing on legality and slaves, and enjoy open trade with all nations except for Okonia. Relations with Okonia are highly tense, as the are in a cold war with their neighboring country. The are not much for military might, but can boast one of the most powerful policing forces in known space, which prevents most crime despite the open nature of the country.
Highinlas is a true monarchy ruled by the oldest female of royal family, with leadership being passed down upon the queen's death. The oldest daughter of the current queen is groomed for leadership from birth, as is the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter, so on and so forth. The queen has absolute rule, though she usually assigns others to carry on the duties of government officials. Though the people do not vote on most things, sometimes popular votes are held for the passing of certain laws.
The main species of the Highinlas nation is the highlinian, though the miori, a small feline race, are highly common and other races can be found. Highlinian women are naturally larger, more powerful, and live longer than the males, though some males are bred and trained to be stronger, to act as pit fighters and bodyguards. Female slaves can also be found, but they are considerably less common. It is commonly accepted practice for males born within Highinlas to be registered and sold as slaves, with the registry preventing accidental incest. Sometimes non-highlinians are captured and forced into slavery as well, but this practice is much less common, and generally frowned upon.
Though slave trade is common, it is not the only form of commerce, with much of Highinlas's revenue coming from tourism, food trade, and other non-slave trade. As most other nations have even outlawed slaves, the majority of slave trade remains within Highinlas.
