No formal system is in place for taking care of the elderly, and the burden of carrying for them — medicine, specialized care, and hospice — they are placed on the younger members of the clan.

	The Third Hegemony of the Izweski Nation is a developing feudal monarchy ruled by a single monarch, known as the Hegemon, who rules and leads the Hegemony as a political and somewhat spiritual paragon. The country is also made up of hundreds of land-owning noble clans and many more clans under them, of which a few dozen noble clans are major influencers in the politics of the Hegemony. Not'zar and the Izweski clan leads the Hegemony, eager to expand their influence out into the stars while resolving the conflicts on [[Moghes\| Moghes]].

	Since the [[Contact War]], the Hegemon has remained an inflated entity by the victory over their ancient enemy, the Traditionalists. Though scorched by nuclear armageddon, the Hegemony has since exploded out of their capital and began the colonization of Traditionalist lands and of faraway planets. The path to domination was not easy, however; Hegemon S'kresti fell into a coma and [[Notable_Unathi\| Not'zar]] made his ascension to the throne, claiming himself regent before any other heir could. The rise and fall of the [[Unathi_Religion\| Sk'akh]] Church also menaced the careful religious balance of the Hegemony which was further inflamed by the rise of Hegemon S'kresti and his conversion to Si'akh. The Hegemon, subject to a Civil War between the Sk'akh Church versus the apostle Hegemon, nearly tore the Hegemony apart.

	All Unathi in the Izweski Hegemony live under a strict feudal society. It divides most of the species into six distinct castes, each of which usually prevents upward mobility in this society. Men and women often have different roles and responsibilities depending on which caste they are in, and a man or woman jumping into a role that is typically meant for the opposite sex can lead to becoming a social pariah.

	'''The nobility''' or '''Sanza''' can include Lords, Clan Lords, and even distinguished Clan members. These are the landed elite of the Hegemony, and the most powerful nobles influence the Hegemon's decisions. Nobles must own a tract of land, no matter how small, to be considered a noble. Land is inherited, purchased, or granted by the Hegemon (often by pleasing him or winning his wars). The nobility enjoy the comforts of off-world technology and are considered superior physically, mentally, and spiritually to the average peasant. It is important to note that one may be part of a noble clan and not be a noble--for example, children do not typically own land, so they are technically not noble, though they enjoy the privileges of the nobility all the same. Warriors, healers, and distant family that swear allegiance to the clan are considered part of the noble clan, but are not actual nobility.

	'''Guildsmen''' are merchants, businessmen, and entrepreneurs striving to make a name for themselves and earn a nice profit while doing so. This social class includes both Guildmasters and independent salesmen. You are required to purchase the title of Guildsman from a local Lord or Guildmaster before being considered as such and are legally barred from conducting business without one. Guildsmen are only required to pay rent to their Lord and are exempt from taxation, so this group forms the closest thing Moghes has to a middle class. Guildsmen can be either men or women; men often become the skilled laborers (as they are most notable for being blunt), while women usually are the outward face of any aspects regarding external business. There are a few exceptions, but those that stray from these norms within Unathite culture are shunned and face a more difficult uphill battle in gaining recognition and becoming successful. Peasants who work for guilds are not considered guildsmen.		'''Guildsmen''' are merchants, businessmen, and entrepreneurs striving to make a name for themselves and earn a nice profit while doing so.

	'''Peasants''' are the bottom rung of society, and are by far the largest. This group comprises traditional tenants on the land of a Lord working aquaculture farms or in the mines, to urban Unathi living in slums and working in guild factories. Peasants have zero political power and are at the mercy of their overlords. Strong social norms and tradition are what keep Lords from outright abusing their peasants en-masse. They work for the Guilds and provide the Guilds the fruit of all their labor, keeping meager earnings of which they must surrender half to their Lord for the privilege of living on his land. Peasants only have meager influence when organized into clans, in which they can appeal for better things to their lord or guild, like a crude worker's union. This is how peasants ascend to the middle class, though they are still at the whims of their lord--and if a lord or guild dislikes what you or your clan is doing, you will be immediately stomped out.

	There exist two forms of life for peasants in the Izweski Nation: rural and urban. For rural Sinta, there is not much life outside of working and praying. Ever since the Contact War, the Hegemony has had a refugee crisis and a food crisis, which necessitated the rebirth of aquaculture in a real way. Loyal noble families and the clans under them were moved out to the Southlands and the Traditionalist remnants to fish for the fishing guilds as a result. Clans live next to other clans in either huts or apartments, often salvaged from the nearby Wasteland. There is little social mobility compared to the urban peasants as no noble family is going to let their clans relocate to the city. The budding and growing aquaponics industry requires talented minds to build habitats, run fishing systems, keep up maintenance, and teach new techniques. As such, especially gifted Unathi can find their way to the city or even off-world for education. Forlorn Sinta often take their chances in the Wasteland or with smugglers, and desertion is at an all-time high for rural peasant Unathi. The nobility in this region are poor compared to their urbanite rivals and have recently taken to the practice of signing their peasants with Hephaestus or other guilds for work. Loyal serfs are sometimes sent to work for these corporations at much higher wages and send their money back to the nobility. These endeavors, especially if they go out into space, are accompanied by dozens of peasants and some of the nobility to keep them in line. Occasionally, these peasants disappear into the alien streets, a great dishonor to their clan.		There exist two forms of life for peasants in the Izweski Nation: rural and urban.

Marriage between '''two men''' links to the Aspect of the Warrior for strength, and is often used to secure particularly military alliances.

			All of the nobility is mostly Sk'akh with some Th'akh, and the same can generally be said for the peasantry. Sk'akh acts at the dominant religious authority within the Izweski Nation, and as such, anyone following the Church can expect no censure or discrimination from the other religions. Th'akh does not face too much persecution within the borders of the Izweski Nation; some discrimination still remains from more hardline acolytes and the Church itself, however. Th'akh practitioners and shamans are not all entitled to the same wealth and benefits the Sk'akh clergy receive though, and as a result, the shamans of the caste belonging to Th'akh are lower on the totem pole, so to speak. Nonetheless, Th'akh worshippers themselves rarely face hardship based on the merit of their beliefs alone.

			The two most notable exceptions (and perhaps extreme denominations, in a way) to these major faiths are the Aut'akh degenerates and the Si'akh heretics. Aut'akh — the religion is synonymous with treason. Their ideology, which vehemently disagrees with the Hegemony's authoritarian practices, is seen as a radical threat. The real Aut'akh dwell amongst the underbelly of the Hegemony, silently converting and spreading their word, and the Hegemony is doing everything they can to stop the flow of this potential rebellion. Rival Lords may be accused of helping out the Aut'akh cause, and any undesirables may be branded as Aut'akh so they become ostracized and their ideals pushed away from society. The Si'akh heresy is viewed more as a benign entity; they may preach and convert, but at least they aren't in open opposition to the Hegemony. While Si'akh peasants are mistrusted and often regulated to their own slums, they are not nearly subjected to the same discrimination that Aut'akh must deal with. The recent subversion of S'kresti by Juzida has caused much alarm, however, and every Si'akh may now be a potential agent for their messiah to wreak havoc.

	Under the Hegemon are the Overlords. They generally control large swathes of territory or bureaucratic functions in the name of the Izweski Hegemony, acting as a portion of the Hegemon's advisors. Currently, there are five Overlords: two managing sections of the Hegemony itself, an Ouerean Overlord, the K'laxan ruler of Tret, and one for the various smaller colonies and territories, including Gwim'zala. Overlords oversee their own Lords, rulers of different provinces. Unlike the Overlords, the Lords act more as vassals of regions under the Hegemon and the Overlords. A province may be an entire planet's development or one sprawling city metropolis depending on the population and settlement sizes of the province. Lords then appoint Clan Lords for different city districts, towns, and swathes of sparse rural lands. Cities are typically run by a Clan Lord (or even a Lord, should the city be large enough) and a small council of lesser clan leaders (or Clan Lords, in the case of a ruling Lord). At the bottom are the clan leaders. Clan leaders are usually the eldest male ruler of a specific family clan, and clan leaders are often the most ruthless schemers of the noble ladder.

	The actual government of the Third Hegemony of the Izweski Nation is a state founded on conflicting principles and a shaky truce between the actors of the government. In the past, the Hegemony was a true feudal monarchy, with the land-owning nobles keeping the power all to themselves — now it is an intricate web of deceit and dictations. "Hegemon" is a queer title, a throne sealed not by a royal bloodline or a divine right, but the law of power. The Hegemon is still the symbolic uniter of Moghes, the civilized ruler over the savages and peasants and lordlings, the dictator of an entire people, but the actual right to the Izweski Nation lies in strength, as intended. The strong rule the weak, and the title of Hegemon, though symbolic and sealed by the government, is won through power and influence.

	This has profoundly affected the Izweski Nation's history: it legitimized conquering forces as a new Hegemon and also delegitimized anyone who was not worthy enough to rule with the title. Each cessation, unification, and civil war in the Hegemony occurred because nobles are not loyal to any specific Hegemon, but to the throne of the nation itself. The fervent honor-culture the Hegemony engages in and promotes is also its greatest destabilizer. This ensures that those who are worthy enough to be the Hegemon are constantly wary to expand their influence and loyalties. If a Hegemon is able to survive his death-prone position by securing his strength, then he is worthy; if a ruler bucks under the accusing nobility, the wealthy guilds, and the foolish masses, then he is not worthy. Nobles are almost encouraged to dissent against their lord, as it tests their mettle. This constant battle within the Hegemony is a breeding ground for honorable zeal and has led to the Hegemony's combined interest in colonization and forays into the Orion Spur, so that the nobility and the Hegemon may grow in power (against each other). Such expansion and imperialistic attitudes are a means of keeping the populace in check; should peasantry engage in the system, then they may see a promotion in rank and honorifics by moving through the castes.		This has profoundly affected the Izweski Nation's history: it legitimized conquering forces as a new Hegemon and also delegitimized anyone who was not worthy enough to rule with the title. Each cessation, unification, and civil war in the Hegemony occurred because nobles are not loyal to any specific Hegemon, but to the throne of the nation itself. The fervent honor-culture the Hegemony engages in and promotes is also its greatest destabilizer. This ensures that those who are worthy enough to be the Hegemon are constantly wary to expand their influence and loyalties. If a Hegemon is able to survive his death-prone position by securing his strength, then he is worthy; if a ruler bucks under the accusing nobility, the wealthy guilds, and the foolish masses, then he is not worthy. Nobles are almost encouraged to dissent against their lord, as it tests their mettle.

	Though the Iron Masks and Unzi's powers are faded, religious tensions are quite high. Most noble families converted to Sk'akh to curry favor with the Church, but some of the converts have reconverted back to their Th'akh ancestral roots after Unzi was "dethroned." While Th'akh lords may be lying in wait, the destruction of the Akhanzi Order has not been lost on them; most are prepared to retaliate if Sk'akh lords eat up their lands under the guise of a religious crusade. Similarly, Sk'akh lords are fearful of Th'akh retribution for the sins of the Church. Additionally, while the dissenting Aut'akh find their stock in the Wasteland or with the criminals of the Hegemony, making for easy policing the Si'akh heathens are a much harder foe to grapple with. Some Lords did convert to Juzida's religion to mirror S'kresti's affinity for the faith, all have quietly converted back--the same can not be said for the small selection of urban and rural peasants who have sworn themselves to Si'akh. The current Hegemonic stance on the Si'akh faithful is one of mistrust, as compared to outright hostility when the Church was around. It is unclear how the Hegemony plans to deal with the overconfident Si'akh, but most lords are content to let them be in their current benign form.

Urban and suburban locales have their own array of challenges. The guilds control nearly every aspect of the urban economy; they are the "megacorporations" of this world. While transportation, medicine, and a wider array of commodities are available, a good chunk of urban peasants struggle to continue with daily life. No formal system is in place for taking care of the elderly, and the burden of carrying for them — medicine, specialized care, and hospice — they are placed on the younger members of the clan. Debt is bought up by ruling nobility to ensure clans do not attempt to flee the cities, and thus leave their sphere of influence.

			Barring the increased costs of better technology, Unathi enjoy easy access to the radio and some cheaper modern equipment. Cheap holoscreens are becoming increasingly common, and the wealthier peasant clans sometimes can afford to buy more than one car.

			== Language ==

			=== Sinta'Unathi ===
			While Pre-Contact Moghes had hundreds of unique languages and their own histories, Sinta'Unathi has been and remains the primary language spoken by most Unathi. This language came about due to the prominence of the Izweski Nation and its impact on trade; it is an evolution of an older Moghean trade language, Sinta'Izwe. Many dialects exist, from the Torn City's Seawash to the Highborn tongue of capital, to even the rural Simplified dialect.

			The written language has 30 letters, with 5 of them being vowels. The language is written left to right and top to bottom, though this was an attempt to emulate humanity, as informal and less educated Sinta'Unathi still write right to left.

			=== History of Sinta'Unathi ===
			Modern Sinta'Unathi began in the 1990s [[Galactic Standard Time]] as the primary language of the Izweski Nation, and spread across the globe for merchants seeking to do business in foreign Kingdoms. It became the main language of global trade and eventually began to trickle its way upwards to become the primary language of the upper classes. By the late 2100s, the Izweski Hegemony passed several laws attempting to increase imperial nationalism in its extremely diverse population. All Hegemonic citizens were required to be fluent in the language, and speaking foreign languages in public carried threats of imprisonment. Imperial authorities also carried out mass-kidnappings of ethnic Unathi, raising the young in boarding schools that instilled in them proper Hegemony values and Sinta'Unathi language lessons. Children were often beaten if they were discovered speaking their native language.

			The earliest forms of Sinta writing come in the form of hieroglyphs that scribes literally scratched onto wooden tablets with their talons, with the earliest dated around 600 CE. These early tablets were predominately inventory records, consisting of nouns and tally marks. As society grew more interconnected and complex, scribes and impatient merchants decided they had better things to do than spend hours making thousands of tally marks, so writing continued to evolve until taking its modern form.

Scribes and writers could be identified by having stained talons, a trend that became more style than practical after the printing press came into use.

	Since the [[Contact War]], the Hegemon has remained an inflated entity by the victory over their ancient enemy, the Traditionalists. Though scorched by nuclear armageddon, the Hegemony has since exploded out of their capital and began the colonization of Traditionalist lands and of faraway planets. The path to domination was not easy, however; Hegemon S'kresti fell into a coma and [[Notable_Unathi\| Not'zar]] made his ascension to the throne, claiming himself regent before any other heir could. The rise and fall of the [[Unathi_Religion\| Sk'akh]] Church also menaced the careful religious balance of the Hegemony which was further inflamed by the rise of Hegemon S'kresti and his conversion to Si'akh. The Hegemon, subject to a Civil War between the Sk'akh Church versus the apostle Hegemon, nearly tore the Hegemony apart.

	After S'kresti's assassination, Not'zar has officially assumed the title of Hegemon.

After S'kresti's assassination, Not'zar has officially assumed the title of Hegemon. The conflict has officially been declared as over, but the various enemies of the Hegemony conspire their revenge. Discrimination runs rampant among Unathi society, whether against those of a lower standing, Unathi seen as not conforming to their role in the empire, the acolytes of other religions, or even the criminal underclass of Guwan. Despite these challenges, the Izweski Hegemony is seen as the most profitable and budding economy among Unathi thanks to imperial mercantilist policy, and even Unathi that oppose Not'zar's rule flock to their walls in an attempt to carve out and seek a better life.

			Not'zar thankfully does not take after his father. Favoring shrewd and savvy politics, the Hegemon of the Izweski Nation has worked on undoing the political damage his father, S'kresti Izweski, had created by partaking in numerous wars with neighboring countries and even within the Hegemony itself. The reformation back to a truly honorable state is a slow one, though no change worth going through is ever done quickly.
