Intergalactic Summit

Sansha's Nation, it is a curious place that defies a lot of what many people believe to be reason.

Let us start at the beginning, for a brief history.

Sansha Kuvakei, was a Caldari businessman, who was horrified by the Terrible Secret of Space, and vowed that there must be a better way for humanity to explore and exploit the heavenly spheres.

And so, he gathered together a bunch of like-minded persons (possibly facilitated by the Tube Children program of the Caldari State which occasionally produces people who think along similar lines), and set out to create a society the likes of which few had thought about. Sansha Kuvakei's recruitment was rather effective, due to his mastery of eloquence and rhetoric, with the central idea of "I am the Answer!" resonating with many citizens of New Eden.

One wonders why it became known as Sansha's Nation, and not Kuvakei's Nation, but that's a minor point.

Anyway, at some point, other stellar powers had a falling out with Master Kuvakei, and the then Sansha's Nation was effectively destroyed by CONCORD and allied forces.

Or so they thought. The Remnant continued to exist and rebuild, based on their last received directives, and in hidden space, unbeknownst to the rest of humanity, Master Kuvakei regarded the worlds of New Eden with envious eyes (some of which were his own), and slowly, and surely, he drew his plans against us.

Which resulted in the Incursion of Nation and the War of Nation Resurgence, which brought much disturbance to the Major Powers.

Which brings us up to the modern day. So, what is Sansha's Nation all about then ?

Well, it is quite complicated, and often baffling to the outsider.

Nation society is divided into two main groups. The True Citizens, and the True Slaves. True Slaves are heavily cybernetically enhanced beings, and are the labourer class of Nation residents. True Citizens are also cybernetically enhanced, although to a far more limited extent, and are the theorists and middle-managers of Nation.

The cybernetic enhancements common to Nation members, have an effect on the culture of Nation, and this should be kept in mind if ever visiting.

True Slaves are of quite different cultural opinions to True Citizens, preferring slapstick comedy rather than synchronised ballet, which is preferred by True Citizens.

If one is ever in the capital of Nation, the system of 37S-KO, then one should take in a performance by the 37S-KO Pratfall Troupe. They're a real Knock Out.

Other popular cultural activities include line-dancing, human pyramid forming, motorcycle display teams, and team sports.

A notable exception to culture amongst Nation, is fashion.

There is none.

Nudity is the norm in the home realms of Nation. Clothed visitors are conspicuous. This nudity is also one of the many reasons behind one of the other popular activities in Nation, which is body building. True Citizens and True Slaves alike appreciate a well-sculpted human form, with unsurprisingly, Master Kuvakei, being one of the leading figures in the Nation bodybuilding scene. Kuvakei is rumoured to be so muscular, that he has a 24-pack, rather than a simple 6 or 8 pack.

Gosh.

Another interesting aspect of Nation culture is the cuisine.

Cubes of food products, served on cocktail sticks, are one of the most popular culinary items available in Nation. Cheese, pineapple, ham, pickled onions (which are spherical rather than cubic, but that's not important right now), and occasionally other fruit or vegetables, are the most commonly found foods.

The art of cheese-cube-on-a-stick making amongst Nation, is however, unparalleled in all of New Eden. Only in Nation, and only in a select few places, may one order not merely a simple cube of cheese on a stick, nay, one may order a food that has to be seen to be believed. The Cheese Tesseract ! Eye-watering to look at, and mouth-watering to eat, the Cheese Tesseract is possibly the finest achievement of all of Nation's culinary endeavours.


These frequently baffling aspects of Nation's culture are however, quite easily explained, due to Nation being largely the creation of one man.

"Why ?", is the question.
"Master is the Answer", is the response.

And that is indeed, true. "Sansha Kuvakei" is the answer to all of people's questions about why Nation functions in the way that it does.

Not enough spikes.

*edit*
What about toast as well? I've always wondered where the "toaster" nickname came from.

This is so interesting!

thanks! :D

BURN. THEM. ALL.

With fire.

Gods damn I missed this place.
