	Lacking any sulfur and tar within the region to exploit, the Eternal Republic has instead sought to invest their holdings in mineral resource extraction and refining; as well as agriculture.

There exist no branches of megacorporations, nor are there any native corporations present, instead the entirety of the resources available for distribution (whether it be exporting or disseminating them to the Eternal Republic’s population) are controlled by the Ecclesiarchs and those appointed by them to maintain the nation’s economy. It is largely rural, compared to its other counterparts present on the planet. The Eternal Republic utilises the Hieroaetherian Vine as its main currency and only the Hieroaetherian Vine.

			=== Energy ===

			The energy infrastructure of the Eternal Republic of the Ekane stands in stark contrast to the more advanced systems seen across [[Hieroaetheria]] – even the Union of Gla’orr vastly outpaces the nascent State. The Eternal Republic has been critiqued as having resisted the modernisation and centralisation efforts across [[Hieroaetheria]] – resulting in an energy grid that is notably underdeveloped compared to its counterparts. In a unique divergence from conventional energy sources, the Eternal Republic heavily relies on Dionae-powered machinery – this method is deeply rooted in the Republic’s religious beliefs, in that they view it as divine harmony between the Eternal and the Dionae. While it is considered a sacred duty, it has significant limitations – the energy produced through these symbiotic systems is insufficient to meet the demands of a modern, industrial society. Consequently, only the capital of the Eternal Republic enjoys a relatively stable and reliable power supply. Outside the capital, the energy situation is dire. Smaller population centres and rural areas lack consistent power, relying on rudimentary and often unreliable systems – usually created from biomass. The lack of investment in electrical infrastructure has left these regions technologically stagnant. The Eternal Republic’s resistance to reform and modernisation has exacerbated its energy sufferings – proposals for integrating more advanced technologies have been met with strong opposition from the Ecclessiarchs – they view such changes as threats to their religious and cultural identity, resulting in a stagnant energy policy that hinders both economic and social progress.

	Leaving the Eternal Republic of the Ekane is a challenging endeavour due to the stringent control exercised by the Ecclesiarchs, the ruling religious authorities. The theocratic regime places significant restrictions on emigration to maintain ideological purity and prevent the spread of dissent beyond its borders. However, determined Dionae may employ various methods to escape the confines of the autocratic theocracy. Dionae may opt for remote and less patrolled routes, navigating through the wilderness areas of Hieroaetheria to avoid established checkpoints and surveillance. This method demands resilience and survival skills to traverse challenging terrains. Leveraging the pretext of religious pilgrimages, Dionae may gain permission to leave temporarily. Once outside the borders, they can seek refuge in neighbouring factions, utilizing the guise of spiritual journeys to avoid suspicion. The only official way to leave is to request such from the Ecclesiarchs; which grant such requests infrequently, but not rarely. One must prove they will uphold the principles of the Eternal Republic, and maintain loyalty to the Ecclesiarchs or face the Knights of the Eternal. Despite these methods, leaving the Eternal Republic remains perilous, as the Ecclesiarchs are vigilant in monitoring and suppressing any attempts at defection. The consequences of being caught attempting to leave can range from severe punishments to public executions, reinforcing the Ecclesiarchs' determination to maintain control over the populace and uphold the theocratic order.

			=== Entertainment ===
			Within the Eternal Republic of Ekane, entertainment and one’s devotion to the Eternal are closely entwined, with this time spent relaxing being yet another time in which one can show their faith – this has made visual arts very common within Ekane. With the abundance of festivals put on throughout the Eternal Republic, there are many opportunities for Ekanian dionae to get involved in theatre, dance and music performances. Some of the more common forms of entertainment throughout Ekane therefore include:

			* '''Ceramics, Sculpture and Textiles''': The Eternal Republic is known for its exports of expertly crafted, ornate ceramics and sculptures, as well as their intricately woven tapestries and carpets, that often see sale across the Spur in markets or in auction houses. Each art piece is hand-crafted by a dionae intending to capture the spirit of their beliefs, either telling a story of spiritual discovery or depicting an important concept of the Eternal faith. Fego is home to the largest museum of older, famous art pieces, known as the '''First Spiritual Arts Gallery of Fego''', which only permits devout Eternal dionae in to view the exhibits – this is no issue for most Eternal Republic citizens.
			* '''Rootsong Performances''': Deeply infused within Ekane culture are Rootsong performances, whereby gatherings of dionae create uplifting harmonies together, which devout dionae describe as almost spiritually transcendent at times, especially in larger, closely-knit groups. Occasionally, Rootsong performances will feature lyrics, typically veneration for an Ecclesiarch or a local, devout folk hero, though lyrics may also be spiritual mantras. Whether at a temple, a festival, or part of a neighbourhood’s communal gathering, Rootsong performances tend to be done when everyone is feeling the closest.
			* '''Theatrical Musicals''': A common sight in both the cities of the Eternal Republic and on festival stands, theatrical plays combine both dramatic plays and the abovementioned Rootsong performances. While the performers portray spiritual stories on stage, a small ensemble of Rootsong performers will provide accompanying music that the audience can then harmonise with, with the Rootsong performances often punctuating important moments within the story. This creates a very emotional, intimate performance for both performers and audience alike. Groups of performers tend to stay together in one troupe for the duration of their career, with some performing at one specific theatre they are associated with and with others being travelling troupes that jump between festivals around the Eternal Republic. '''The Theatre Eternal''' in ''Echoing Spires'' is the most spectacular theatres in the Eternal Republic, with an oval-shape and balconies that surround a large stage, and has massively contributed to the city’s reputation as a tourist city – while non-dionae are permitted to purchase seats to watch performances, only one balcony separated from dionae seating permits non-dionae viewing, making it very difficult and usually a one-time experience for non-dionae to view a performance at The Theatre Eternal. The '''Twelve-Ray Starvine Troupe''' is one of the more famous travelling theatre troupes, regularly performing in theatres around Ekane’s cities and occasionally cropping up in local festivals – the troupe’s Master, known as ''Enlightening Providence To Be Shared'', is regarded as a quiet but incredibly thoughtful and devout dionae, often meshing their own experiences with the fantasy of their plays.

			At the end of each Galactic Standard year in December, the ''Eternal Beacon Cathedral'' hosts the '''Grand Culmination''', where entertainers across the Eternal Republic flock to Fego, with the city’s interior packed, households bedsharing for the month, and temporary biomass shacks established as far as the eye can see in the city’s immediate outskirts. For the entire month of December, one giant festival of festivals is hosted, with the entire city being the grounds and the Eternal Beacon Cathedral being the highest stage to perform on. New talent may be hosted in Fego’s smaller or more middling theatres or galleries, while the most renowned performers from around the Eternal Republic are provided the opportunity to perform within the Cathedral. On the final day of the festival, the ''28th of December'', the three Ecclesiarchs themselves name the ultimate performance or art piece of the Grand Culmination, rewarding the director of the theatrical piece or the composer of the Rootsong, or the creator of an art piece with the honorary title of '''Master of Ceremonies''', a title held until the next Grand Culmination where a new Master of Ceremonies is named. For the year one is the Master of Ceremonies, they are tasked with overseeing any state balls or shows held by the Eccleisarchs when hosting guests of importance – though, it is not uncommon for Master of Ceremonies to don the title and forgo official duties to someone better equipped in their stead.

For three days a year, the Dancing Stars and Sparring Giants align to occlude the Opulence neutron star from Hieroaetheria’ view. This is a time of vulnerability for Dionae, though also a reprieve for non-Dionae inhabitants; ambient radiation levels drop significantly and temperatures on the planet cool slightly. Preparation for the day comes weeks in advance to ensure that Dionae do not fall prey to the decreased radiation and luminosity during these few days.

	The Eternal Republic of the Ekane does not recognise any other language besides Rootsong within its borders. It serves as a conduit for divine connection to the Eternal, as claimed by the Ecclesiarchs, which only further perpetuates the theocratic ideology held within the Eternal Republic. The written form of Rootsong often adorns religious texts, architectural elements, and sacred artefacts. Inscriptions of these glyphs carry divine significance, connecting the written word with the spiritual essence of the Eternal. Non-Dionae who pass through the Eternal Republic often must utilize translators, either Dionae capable of speaking their language or a machine able to translate the language. This further divides Dionae from non-Dionae within the Eternal Republic – a mechanism in which it serves as a “divine barrier” that emphasizes the notion that Dionae are a spiritually elevated race. This has resulted in the stagnation of diplomatic agreements with other factions in the Orion Spur, besides the [[Nralakk Federation]], the [[Xrim\|Covenant of Xrim]] and obviously the other nations present on [[~~Epsilon Ursae Minoris~~]].

	A theocratic autocracy, the Eternal Republic of the Ekane was founded after first contact with the Skrell in 2390 CE – in which by then the Eternal spread rife throughout the community. Roughly a decade following its introduction to ~~Epsilon Ursae Minoris~~, the Eternal had managed to conglomerate primarily within the cities dotting the Ekane region of the planet – which eventually saw unification beneath the banner of the Eternal Republic of the Ekane. For the last century, the Eternal Republic has steadily become an influential faction within ~~Epsilon Ursae Minoris~~, affording them a place within the limelight.

Staunchly against any propositions for reform, or centralisation, they are largely considered a reactionary political faction within the Commonwealth – resulting in a feeling of scorn from the other factions that exist on Hieroaetheria.

	The history of the Eternal Republic of the Ekane began with the Abandonment of 221 CE, when a significant portion of the Dionae within Mede, and more notably Epigenia, migrated due to doctrinal differences. Immediately following this was The Long March: Every Dionae that had left joined together, and moved as a unified body to a new place for colonization. Three years later, the picturesque landscape of the Ekane were eventually discovered. Unfortunately, this led to the collective mass of the Gestalt to bicker and debate with itself over how the area should be settled, resulting again in a fracturing of the Dionae into different clusters, each with ~~its~~ own survival strategy and concept of unity. For a period, they were largely never truly reunited again – despite attempts by the Dominion. It wasn’t until the touchdown of the Eternal that unity was once again a possibility.

	Since then, the region of Ekane had remained a backwater of competing clusters, each warring over a different conception of unity, while occasionally trading with the outside. Even post-unity, a Gestalt’s cluster is a major part of their identity and is culturally important. The Consortium never sought to expand into this region, firstly because the myriad of competing tribes were deemed ungovernable, and later on, the lack of resources to work during The Triumph of Smoke and Steel.

	In 2400 CE the Ekane had been, by this point dominated, by the Dominion. Despite a handful of smaller nation-states, ~~they~~ entirety of the region was still several decades behind in development. It was here that [[the Eternal]] had been introduced, touching the minds of those present within the Ekane, promising them unity and salvation. To become whole with a body far greater and far beyond the planet. The Eternal exploded across the Ekane in fervent rapture, and a mere five years later, they were a unified and rapidly modernizing force on the continent. Missionaries ~~sprawled~~ out from its borders, preaching news and the mandate of something greater. The Eternal Republic of the Ekane entered into the Commonwealth in 2445 CE as an equal, though some interpreted this as [[the Consortium]]'s means of securing negotiations with the Eternal Republic before something drastic were to happen.
