SPECIAL PROJECTS:
Scourgeinator (developing a long range detection mechanism that will find active scourge dens. (Should give a better chance at evading contamination and\or defense VS scourge related dangers)
Sound System a trade missionary of sorts, based on musical outfits-bands-artists. It will develop a space ship able to have a sort of diplomatic immunity in war ravaged lands as well as resistance to piracy (at least not outright loss of craft) and\or better travel rate.
These vehicles will not be able to carry troops-colonists, and will have a purely economic\diplomatic effect

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The republic of ZIB was founded right after the great scourge attacks by a sect of Rastafarian zealots on a pleasure cruise.
As they believed they were the only humans left they have pulled out the holy weed and thought about accepting their impending doom with a buzz.
It is then that the spirit of the long dead Haile sellassie the 1st has appeared in a cloud of magic smoke and told them that salvation has atlast come.
BABYLON is atlast being purged, and it is up to them to lead human kind back to the roots and onto the true glory that awaits them.
The person to unite the remaining humans was, maybe by coinincidence, called Haley. Haley has proven his mettle, and after a very short while has managed to unite under his leadership, the entire population of the Star Cruiser Princess of the Sky (total accounted people 50000).
Soon all had converted to the rastafarrian faith and
Since that day, Haley has been in constant contact with the spirit of the emperor and has decried that they shall colonize the first planet they find, in preparation for the day of judgemnet, when BABYLON shall wage war with ZION.
THEY SHALL BE READY!!!!
As such, the main goal of the Republic is to gain knowledge of the scourge and ways to defeat it in the days to come.
The goals in those first days were primarily survival, and as such massive amounts of research have gone into terraforming that planet, and expanding the small remaining outpost of humanity (planting weed and breeding like mad
)
After those harrowing days a plan was called for the management of the now growing population. There was some unrest within, as some still, through a haze of smoke, remembered such things as: Free speech, Universal Sufferage, Civil liberties and such like.
They were soon either sent into the outback (where they were not heard form again, or repented most vocally under the tender care of the police)
Government since then has remained with the decendants of Haley, passing to the eldest son of the prime wife.
Even though violent crime is quite rampant, and murder a common crime, the emperor seems to be immune to violence, and is revered as a godlike figure by the masses.
It is through poor economic management of Haile Selassie 12th that the economy has turned into a recession but the new emperor (only 2 years in office) has started on a massive reform.
Sound Systems are now the new wave of the future, utilizing free trade and superior faith and trade, Haile hopes to let the republic grow and lead humanity back into the true faith and away from Babylon, uniting to face the great war that shall arrive very soon.
The people of Zadon are ALL highly religious and are trained from birth to act as missionaries, converting to the faith many of those they encounter (through music, religion and drug induced visions).
Thay are VERY friendly and trusting, but will fight like cornered rats when the need arises.
(study energy and robotics, with a belief that other humans shall not harm them)
