The Nightlands is a harsh authoritarian state ruled by Nightlings. The stability and function of the state is fueled by extreme torture and fear. Slaves make up the vast majority of the population, with most slaves coming from the Nightlings' efficient human breeding farms, where children will spend most of their lives labouring until adulthood where they can either be conscripted into the Thralls or remain as labouring slaves.
The Nightland's economy is planned. They distribute food that they get from their underground farms to the populace. Whoever the state considers to be useful will be greatly rewarded and encouraged for their work, though this does not excuse them from being punished and tortured for weeks if they ever disobey or repeat a mistake.
History
Origin
The Nightlings are not humans, or aliens. They are actually humans modified into superhumans by Chromotech, a genetic modification research and technology corporation. The Nightlings rebelled against Chromotech under the leadership of a Nightling now known today as Overseer One.
Overseer One with the help of other Nightling individuals created the Nightlands. The best of the best Nightlings joined One's government as Overseers, who stand equally with the same authority as him.
Government
The Overseers are a group of Nightlings that govern the Nightlands. Each Overseer has great autonomy over their own territories yet they still remain wholly loyal to their nation.
Each member is named after a number. Abandoning their past as human beings and devoting all they are and all they have for their nation.
Overseer One deals with stability and enforcement.
Overseer Two manages development and construction.
Overseer Three manages the slaves and human breeding farms.
Overseer Four deals with espionage and national security.
Overseer Five manages assimilation and Nightwater farms.
Overseer Six manages the military and military industry.
Overseer Seven manages technological progress and development.
Military
The Nightling vehicles and armor is made out of Nightwater corrupted stone, and sometimes metal.
Most of the Nightlings in the military prefer to be the military leadership, and avoid being on the front lines. Nightlings that are in the military force are part of the White Knights, a Nightling only elite force using the latest technology and weaponry.
Slaves unfortunate enough to be conscripted into the Enforcers will be the internal guards, keeping the slaves disciplined and well tortured, while those recruited as Thralls will be part of the military, being given scraps for protection and medieval weapons as the proper cannon fodder that they are.
