Languages:
For simplicity purposes, English ("Librae") is the main language spoken on Forma (derivatives of English and dialects can differ throughout each region). Latin ("Old Librae"), is also spoken, though its use has declined.
Most of the other unique languages are derived from Old Librae (Latin). Librae (English) is the merger between the post-libran imperial western spoken Parlibrae (French) and eastern spoken Orilibrae (German). Vego (Portuguese) is a distinct and unique dialect established from Grusi (Spanish). Antarean Librae is a merger between Old Librae (Latin) and Librae (English) with the alphabetical hard C replaced by K.
Politics:
In the world of Forma, regional politics is dominated by 'imperialism', the countries as we know them in 1908 were previously multiple smaller nations throughout history (more pre-1880's lore to come). This is just a general idea of how countries get their names. The concept of sovereignty of a minor nation is not prevalent, with countries in Forma practicing expansion over small neighbors. By the southern corvus war, the sovereign nations in Forma is reduced to 17 nations (20 nations pre-1906).
Ideologys
In the world of Forma, monarchies dominated the Centauran continent with republics dominating in the Hydran continent post-grease war. Ideologies present in the real world are not fully developed; communism and other far ideologies does not exist; with the most radical experiment (progressivism) being the charter government of Hydrus and the populist movement of the nationalist in Riaa.
Rules of war:
On Forma, there is no Geneva Convention-type guidelines that exist. Instead, each country has their own war laws, and between two warring nations, the losing country would be subject to the winning country's war laws. For example, the laws of "Red Nation" claim that civilians and medical personnel are not to be killed, while "Green Nation" claims that only civilians are not to be killed. If Green loses to Red, Green's war criminals would be put under trial for the murder of civilians and medical personnel. Vice versa, Red's war criminals would be criminalized only for the murder of civilians. Attempts had been made for international rules on war but failed, due to the fact that imperialism continued in many countries of Forma by the mid 1900s. Each country had their own self-interests rather than to become united under peace.
Religion:
There are 2 major religions on Forma. Astranism ("astra", latin for "stars") is a religion based on the stars and constellations. In short, each constellation represented a god, and the people would serve the god corresponding to their nation. For example, Antares would serve the god of Scorpius, the parent constellation of the Antares star. This does also mean that each country is named after a god in Astranism, with the exception of Riaa.
Unism ("unus", latin for "one") is a monotheistic religion which believed that there was only one God who created the universe and all living creatures. This religion, however, is less prominent on Forma, though it has been spreading quickly on the Hydran continent.
