Republic of the Wheel

The Republic of the Wheel (simply "the Wheel" for short) is a Drakon faction that resides on their home planet of Szenaria.

Culture
All that members of the Wheel do is supposed to be for the betterment of the faction and Szenaria itself.

The Wheel does practice a form of environmentalism, taking a "fair share" of natural resources and leaving the rest to rejuvenate itself, to be exploited again at a later date.

Mining is a common job within the Wheel (see Economy, below), but oter jobs such as physicians and pilots are highly regarded as well.

Language
The Wheel's official language is Hraconian, the original language that the Drakons were believed to have created. Minor changes to the language have been made to keep it up to date, but it remains otherwise unchanged.

Religion
As a whole, the Wheel has no official religion, generally frowning upon it. They believe that the effort to practice and maintain religion is wasteful. As a result, atheism is predominant.

Economy
The Wheel currency is made up of minerals and gems. As a result, anyone can become rich if they set out to literally mine their money. However, hired miners are not allowed to keep whatever they mine in their job; they are paid a predetermined amount. To compensate, however, there is usually a high salary. There are other more obscure forms of currency that are not in use today. Building materials are not allowed to be used as currency to prevent the organized destruction of towns and cities for profit.
 * Quartz (100g): base unit of currency. Equivalent to one Earth penny.
 * Copal (100g): equal to 10 quartz units.
 * Jasper (100g): equal to 10 copal units.
