The Year 2XXX————

The stage of humanity has expanded into space.

Through the struggles of scientists, humans created air in lands where life was originally impossible, increasing the number of habitable planets. The massive population that Earth could no longer support set out for the new frontier of the galaxy aboard spaceships, building colonies and continuing to prosper even now.

Those who build a nation and occupy a star.

Those who wander through various lands as travelers.

Or those who head to distant galaxies in search of even more land.

Any of it is fine. Do as you please. No one will stop you.

Oukakoku

Star Name: Nishousei

Long ago, when humanity first left Earth, this nation was still one. However, as the eras passed, it split into the 'Bunka Faction', which prioritizes beautiful traditional culture, and the 'Gika Faction', which emphasizes modern technological power. While continuing small skirmishes, the planet is currently divided between these two factions.

By the way, with a climate where cherry blossoms bloom year-round and an atmosphere not much different from Earth's, it is known as 'Second Earth' and is a popular tourist spot.

Below is a recording of a tourist. "Ah, Nishousei... when you visit, make sure you decide which faction you're going to. If you're vague about it, you'll get beaten up."

Progress Gale

Star Name: Kibyakusei

Known as a country with a relatively short history, its technology is on par with superpowers. Currently referred to as the 'Planet of Machines', many of the spaceships drifting through the galaxy originated from Progress Gale. It is characterized by machines existing throughout the city and the automation of almost all facilities. Currently, a single artificial intelligence called [Kijin] manages this planet.

However, due to long-standing industrial policies that ignored the environment, pollution has worsened, and the air is constantly extremely dirty.

Below is a recording of a curious tourist. "Cough, cough, I never want to go back. I respect the tech, but that place is just... way too filthy."

Terresial III

Star Name: Rakuen-sei (Paradise Star)

Glittering neons intermingle, and the voices of cheerful people never cease no matter where you go. There is little combat here, but apparently, the lights are quite dizzying. It is known as a politically important meeting place where the wills of many wealthy elites and politicians clash, and quiet battles take place beneath the surface, unknown to the public.

Below is a recording of a tourist seeking pleasure. "This place is great. Entertainment, dreams—everything goes your way. Well, as long as you don't touch the dark side, that is."
