“Your planet shouldn’t have different countries. You should have conquered and unified it all. ”
Nation
Union is a nation on Canticle. It was created, and led, by the Cinder King. During its height it stretches almost the entire world, the only regions out of its control being the poles, where life is almost impossible. All major cities were conquered by the Cinder King.
Military
Union’s military has two large branches, the regular soldiers and the Charred.
The regular soldiers are equipped with guns powered by sunhearts and fly a wide variety of ships. They make up the larger part of Union’s military.
The Charred are a more special kind of soldier, they were once ordinary people, but the Cinder King inserted Cinderhearts into their chests, burning away their memories and establishing a connection to him, as well as investing them. Because of this connection the Charred can sense what he wants, and will blindly follow his orders. The Charred regularly use weapons that require up close combat, such as batons and machetes, they have also been known to use bombs, acting like a suicide bomber.
Economy
Union has many access to many prisoners and captives, and these are sacrificed to make sunhearts, which power their cities. They also have many prospecters just behind the great Maelstrom to find and collect these sunhearts.
Their cities rely on agriculture for food, they sow and harvest every day, just before dawn, with the reflected sunlight. They also have hunters.
City
The capital city of Union goes by the same name[2]. The Cinder King planned for everyone to join and live in the city[2], and almost all major cities have been added to Union, there are still some small towns which roam the planet however.
Corridor
Union flies along the equator, although it has at times left this position.
