Nightlands

The Nightlands is an isolationalistic state ruled by former humans and aliens now transformed into Nightlings. The entire state is ruled by an authoritarian and harsh government. Anyone who commits a crime, whether minor or major, is subject to unimaginable horrifying torture that works well enough to put them in line. Its inhabitants are mostly human and sometimes alien slaves, with the Nightlings at any time may transform a large portion into more of their kind through a special ritual. The majority of the population (99%) are all human or alien slaves, most of which were born in the state and will spend their entire miserable lives being used for forceful breeding and working in the mines and factories. But those that are lucky will be recruited into the military, where their sense of fear and pain will be removed.

A common ideology is held among the slightly more freer Nightling population. They believe that efficiency and results should be put above righteousness and emotion. When they were turned into Nightlings they had not only shed their flesh but also their human morality, giving them an almost deranged obsession to perfection.

History

Nightlands

The Nightlings did not exist before. They are an artificial race created by a military corporation obsessed with creating superhumans. They have achieved what they wanted, creating an enhancing liquid they called Darkwater, as it can only be created in the absence of electromagnetic radiation.

Nightling Society

Darkwater will be injected into the bloodstream while the victim is drained of blood, and eventually their entire bodies and flesh will be corrupted by the fluid, turning them into Nightlings.

The Nightlings stay deep underground, and avoid any sources of electromagnetic radiation. Even going so far to create special suits block it off completely. Though their Darkwater infected walls work well enough to do the job.

Though electromagnetic radiation of any sort does not actually harm them, it does prevent cell production, perhaps due to the influence of Darkwater in their entire biological structure. Though despite this major disadvantage, the Nightlings are much more stronger and faster than ordinary humans, and their flesh is comparable to even power armor. They have the ability to produce more Darkwater from their saliva. Around half of all Nightlings are used as Darkwater producing cattle slaves where they are put into receiver machines and have their entire minds wiped permanently.

The Nightlings are obsessed with the development of their nation, though they are not interested in any further surface expansion, and would rather conquer the underground instead, where they are in most comfort.
