Isborn-Bellumese Commonwealth

Demonym: Isborn or Bellumese, depending on heritage. Isellium is also occasionally heard.

Language: Isellium

While two languages were once spoken in the IBC, tracing back to Isberg and Bellum respectively, over time the two similar tongues have converged into one diverse one. Indeed, many dialects of Isellium can be found throughout the commonwealth, despite its population being relatively small on the galactic scale.

Culture: Where once was two, now is one. The nature of the Isborn-Bellumese Commonwealth, an alliance built out of necessity during the final days of Earthland, can be seen even to this day. The nation is often referred to as two separate countries under one banner, and indeed its culture to a degree reflects this, although certainly the two nationalities found have less differences with every generation. In general, the people of the IBC are hardy and practical, well adapted to the cold climates their various planets have. There is a certain element of warrior culture in the IBC's ways, not something strictly enforced by the government other than that all citizens receive basic combat training, no, such stems from Isborn and Bellumese traditions, a mentality that those not strong enough to survive will perish with or without help.

Somewhat surprisingly, to this day many of IBC's citizens are religious, or at the very least spiritual. However, it is in such practices that the gap between two cultures is made apparent, while both believing in the mythical afterlife known as Valhalla, it is there that the two diverge. Bellum's understanding is by far the less complex, for those that follow the religion believe that the goddess Etro selects Valkyries to stand guard over Bellum for the day the great titans of old may return. Meanwhile, the Isborn side of things worships instead a pantheon of gods headed by Odin, who amasses warriors in his great hall for the day Ragnarok will strike the realm of the gods known as Asgard.

Economy: The Isborn-Bellumese Commonwealth's major export is both precious and industrial metals, along with producing high quality martial weapons through its more skilled laborers. The highly valued metal Elementium is also produced in the IBC, and its forging methods are a closely guarded secret unknown to the rest of the galaxy.
