Kenjo's Jewel

Nation Bio:

Kenjo's Crown The capital province of Kenjo's Jewel, known for it's vast majority of intact data centers left by the long lost Ketling Empire. This is where Kenjo, daughter of Lostran, began her great unification of the planet. Located near the center of Kenjo's Crown is a mighty spire that many engineers believe to have previously worked as a space elevator.

Bryn's Hammer An engineering hotspot of the planet, the securing of Bryn's Hammer was instrumental in the unification of the planet, as it houses immense amounts of workable metals for the development of our planet's industry.

Myara's Burrough A clustered space known for it's still-intact subterranean tunnel system. It is a widely accepted theory that these tunnels once stretched throughout the entirely of the planet, but unfortunately much of it has yet to be excavated.

De'ahn's Fields A collection of nearly half of the arable farmlands of Kenjo's Jewel can be located in this province, which once led it to be one of the strongest nation-states during the Era of Strife.

Aurrol's Lights The exceptional lack of clouds found at the northern edge of this province allows strange lights to be seen floating above the snowy landscape. It is this beautiful phenomenon that has inspired many of the artistic minds of Kenjo's Jewel.

Firr's Table Once a powerful military force in the Era of Strife, Firr's Table now stands as a cultural hub of strong-minded individuals who make up nearly three-quarters of KJPC navy personnel.

Qanni's Stone The ruins of this province have all but been torn asunder by the many wars our people have faced. While the other provinces still use the many structures leftover from the glory days of our home, the early days of Qanni's Stone required its inhabitants to re-learn the art of architecture out of necessity.

Juenim's Expanse A cold, mountainous landscape that proudly holds the Juenim: our planets only animal species. It is still quite a shock to our biologists that other planets have an impossibly high number of various animals as well as plants.

Dologg's Objection This space has been set aside to house the small population of those who do not consent to live under KLPC. There is a strictly held "open door policy" regarding immigration to and from this region, as the many Unions realize that employment without consent is no better than slavery.

Rahmmis' Scale During the Eras of Darkness and Strife the people of Kenjo's Jewel used silicon chips as the primary form of currency. This allowed silicon-rich areas, such as Rahmmis' Scale, to be considered the epicenters of wealth across the planet.

The Coins A heavily sought group of islands, wherein so many wars were fought that the land itself has no claim, no unifying culture, and thus no hero to name it after.

We here at Kenjo's Jewel Planetary Cooperative understand and respect your policies on the sanctity of your borders and refusal of refugees. While we have released strict orders of our military and mercantile ships to steer clear—an easy feat considering the distance between our nations—what we do not have control over is the private sailing vessels of our citizens.

Let us "cut to the chase": a small fleet of privately owned ships are en route to your space, filled with nearly one hundred thousand refugees fleeing our space, due to the critical food shortages we are facing. These ships are acting in direct conflict of the demands we've made of them, and have left the range of our sensors as of one galactic-standard-day ago. By our estimations they will arrive in six galactic-standard-months.

We know such a thing is unprecidented, but it is in this desperate time that we urge you to reconsider your policy on refugees. We understand how counter-intuitive it must seem, but innocent lives are at stake.

Many of our citizens wish to help you in any way we can — we have no food for you, but perhaps the nutrient replicators we developed before our ascension could offer some relief through their efficiency. In the name of solidarity, we will manufacture and deliver as many as you need, if you request it.

To the illustrious Elepharchy,

A privately recorded audio transcript was leaked by a member of the press into the Galactic Community. That transcript was not meant to be shared with anyone beyond the borders of our society. It is unfortunate to see our greatest weakness so openly talked about.

That being said, any and all aid would gladly be accepted by those willing to offer it freely. Our biggest issue being faced currently is the startling lack of microplastics being found in the soil and foods of other planets. We are finding it difficult to distribute an appropriate amount of this apparently rare resource that is required for a healthy bone structure. If these "nutrient replicators" you offer would be able to help alleviate this issue, then we will gladly accept!

[[ Press report delivered by Presiding Speaker Esthinora, daughter of Cognati ]] [[ Recording taken stardate 29.04.2241 ]] [[ Audio transcript begins ]]

First and foremost on behalf of the Bureaucratic Union I'd like to once again thank the Union of Archivists and Press for being so diligent in the recording of this most troubling time.

Citizens of Kenjo's Jewel Planetary Cooperative, it has been 15 galactic-standard months since the beginning of mandatory rationing, and 2 months since the total depletion of our nation's emergency food reserves. Times have been tough for each and every one of us both on and off-planet. But I don't need to tell you what you already know, so let's focus on what has been changing as of late:

First and foremost our emergency measures put in place 15 months ago have finally begun to bear fruit! Pun very much intended. As of last week over two and a half million new members of the Agri and Aquaculture Union have begun their own farms! This mighty investment has brought the amount of usable farmland across our home planet from one and a half percent to just over two percent, with more to come as we continue to enlist new members into the noble pursuit of food production. In addition to this we will continue to provide monthly incentives to all households with proof of a productive garden.

The less fortunate news, as many of you have already been informed of, is the rising number of attacks done on members of the Logistics Union trying to deliver food to our home. These selfish acts are causing basic necessities to be hoarded by the powerful to lend out at insane markups. For this reason the act of stealing food from communal deliveries and stockpiles will now be considered an act of high treason against the communities of Kenjo's Jewel. It is with a heavy heart that I must inform the public that as of today the Union of Police and Enforcement has been temporarily un-banned and placed in charge of rooting out those who are hoarding resources.

Please, order, please! I know that these measures seem extreme, but please understand that we- This is only a temporary solution to a temporary problem!

// Missive to the Brood Court of the Aradak Tribunal //

We here at Kenjo's Jewel Planetary Cooperative pride ourselves on our ability to cater to a variety of needs, even those of a eusocial society such as yourselves! In the words of our beloved Kenjo, founder of the first union of our home, "It is through mutual aid that our communities reach their truest potential." In following her teachings we are excited to propose the opening of a branch office on the beautiful coastlines of Aradas!

It is our hope here at Kenjo's Jewel that every level of the hive can benefit from a hearty investment into your planetary infrastructure! We hope that the Brood Court will agree that such a project would greatly benefit the sapient beings of Aradas!

Here are the specs for KJPC using Stellaris Evolved!

KJPC does legitimately attempt to be a morally-upstanding nation. The values of employee-ownership and democratically-controlled business practices allows them to be as ethical as a mega-business can be. Are they perfect? Absolutely not, that would be boring.

They have a borderline-concerning amount of propaganda about how other governments don't treat their citizens well enough (as reflected in the Brand Loyalty civic) and are very ambitious in trying to spread socialism/communism across as many societies as possible (as reflected in the Worker Cooperative civic). Also there's the matter of whether or not it's morally acceptable to have citizenship based on employment status, but that's not the kind of question that KJPC is interested in tackling any time soon. They are, and always will be, a cooperative.

On behalf of the Kenjo'danni—and many other lifeforms—partnered with Kenjo's Jewel, we'd like to welcome you to your new correspondence with Kenjo's Jewel Planetary Cooperative! Be you a biological, lithoid, or even gestalt consciousness, KJPC is certain to have just the business solution for you!

From the smallest personal finance support program to the largest interstellar infrastructure installation, our vast and diverse team is here to make the galaxy a better place, one project at a time! But don't take our word for it, just listen to the many reviews left by our satisfied customers!

"The furred-ones have proved exceptional in the production of alloys. They have earned the respect of my people."

- Hask'virik, Minister of Defense for the Tzynn Empire

"Not only was KJPC kind enough to reveal to our fledgeling civilization the secrets of interstellar travel, but also saw fit to establish communal housing on our planet! Never before has our society seen this level of economic and social vitality!"

- Gahuda, Envoy of the Planet of Behet
