Non-Human Species of Anagonia

History

Early Developments

Several decades before the fall of the United Republic, the United Republic Military intervened to rescue a small Non-Human populace from genocide in a foreign land. This group, consisting of several hundred individuals from isolated tribal communities, was provided with protected lands upon their arrival in Anagonia. They established new communities with minimal interaction with the outside world.

Following the fall of the United Republic, Master Sergeant Tiberius Samsus honored his agreements with these communities by enshrining their protected status in the Constitution of the Confederate States. As the 1st President of the Confederacy, Samsus enacted laws to preserve the tribal status of these Non-Human communities, granting them dual citizenship and sovereign governance over their lands. His efforts ensured that the communities could either integrate into Anagonian society or remain in their traditional environments. Over time, members of these Non-Human species contributed to modern society, including in politics and the armed forces. By 105 AUR, President Mileethus Canisilus became the first Non-Human citizen elected as President , and the 17th President of the Confederate States.

The Great War and Wildlantaria

During the Great War (1931-1951), the Confederate States intervened in the Kingdom of Sarda, which had been destabilized by a brutal civil conflict and subsequent partisan raids. The Confederate States, with crucial support from the Federal Republic of Meridon, played a key role in securing vital sea routes and defeating Sarda’s military forces.

The peace treaty that concluded the Great War required Sarda to relinquish all territories gained during the conflict and pay reparations. As a result, the Confederate States annexed the Territory of Wildlantaria. This region, now part of Anagonia, was notable for its diverse population, including a high concentration of sapient Non-Human inhabitants such as Komodren and Kromen.

President Jason Faltore, the 3rd President, honored the legacy of the Constitution and the 1st President by officially declaring the new citizens of Wildlantaria as equal and protected under the law. The acquisition of Wildlantaria not only expanded Anagonia’s territorial holdings but also significantly enhanced its cultural and demographic diversity. This integration underscored Anagonia's commitment to inclusivity and the recognition of its diverse Non-Human populations as integral members of the Confederacy. The acquisition highlighted Anagonia's dedication to embracing and respecting its rich, multi-species heritage while continuing its role as a dominant regional power.

Rare Non-Human Species

Various non-human humanoid species live within the Confederacy. These species, at present, usually refuse to enter into modern Anagonian society either due to their reclusive nature or their limited population. They typically reside in separate, tribal preservation communities located in the wilderness of the Confederate countryside and forests. These communities are given wellness checks by the Confederate States Military Police a few times per year. If any members of these species are seen outside their tribal preservations, it is considered an extremely rare sight. Those who do become citizens often find themselves in the spotlight of popular culture.

Rare Non-Human Species comprise mammalian, avian, and reptilian humanoids. These species were typically affected by the ravages of war or genocide and were among those saved by the United Republic Military during various operations a long time ago. Having had time to exist in safer and more protected lands, most of these species have recovered significantly from what could have been their total extinction. In addition to the protection provided by the Confederate Military Police, Confederate Tribal Preservationists and Independent Researchers work diligently to gather valuable information for preserving these intelligent non-humans and their way of life.

Azallians

The Azallians[1] are a race of humanoid equines whose history remains largely unknown to most researchers. Saved from potential genocide in their original homeland by an operation conducted by the United Republic Navy (the precursor to the Confederate States Navy), the Azallians were given a reservation and left to their own devices with minimal interaction apart from supply provisions. As of 106 AUR, the Azallians have significantly recovered from the endangered population they entered Anagonia with, thanks in part to the protection of the United Republic and now the Confederate States. Their population has grown from 251 to a healthy 1,562. Interaction between Anagonians and Azallians is rare, primarily due to the Azallians' request for minimal contact. Apart from occasional health checkups during provisionary supply runs, no further information is available.

From visual observations made by researchers accompanying Military Policemen on supply runs, it is evident that workloads are shared between the sexes. Childrearing and care are strictly the domain of females, with males having either no role or minimal involvement. Thanks to the supplies provided during these runs, the Azallians are typically seen in clean attire, often creatively patched together. They have been observed engaging in activities such as pottery making, metal tool crafting, wagon building, crop cultivation, and other tasks that indicate a communal and self-sustained society. Although hunting and fishing have been rare, these activities have also been noted. The Azallian language consists of a mix of grunts, neighs, whinnies, nickers, snorts, and squeals, and is not fully understood. However, Azallians do speak English with a slight accent when interacting with Military Policemen.

Azallians resemble equines with varied coat, mane, and eye colors. Unlike natural equine species with more robust tail skirts, Azallians have a more robust natural tail with a less bushy skirt. They stand on two hoof-like feet with fingers and thumbs that have cartilage similar to their hooves. Azallians are highly intelligent and secretive, demonstrating exceptional mathematical abilities. They typically stand between five and eight feet tall, with females and males both displaying visible muscle mass. Females are often equal to or taller than males.

There are three known Azallian tribes on their large reservation within the Territory of Wildlantaria:

• Tribe Alpha: 722 members
• Tribe Bravo: 525 members
• Tribe Charlie: 315 members

Due to their reluctance to share further information, Confederate Tribal Preservationists have named the tribes Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. The name "Azallian" is derived from a reference to the land "Azallia," mentioned in a gift presented to a researcher during one of the first supply visits to their tribal territory. The significance of "Azallia" remains unclear, and it is speculated that it could have a different meaning beyond being a mere identifier. For now, "Azallia" is accepted as the name of their species and people.
