	'''Axiom''', known internationally as '''Orepit''' and by its indigenous population as '''Nu'u''', is a frontier planet adjacent to the [[Coalition of Colonies]]. It is host to two political entities: the [[Axiom#Ecclesiastical_Axiom\|Ecclesiastical Authority of Axiom]], a theocratic monarchy built on the tenets of the [[The_Trinary_Perfection\|Trinary Perfection]], and the [[Axiom#The_Sālamasian_Republic\|Sālamasian Republic]], a loose collection of city-states comprised of originally corporate colonists descending from Earth's Samoa.

	[[Notable_Synthetics#Gregol_Corkfell\|Gregol Corkfell]], one of the two sibling-founders of the [[The_Trinary_Perfection\|Trinary Perfection]], made landfall in the planet's western equatorial deserts in 2419, prompting a still-ongoing exodus of free synthetics to follow him. Despite initial tensions, the Salamasians and fledgling Axiomites developed generally friendly relations, with the more agriculturally dependent Salamasians happy to concede immediate control of the inhospitable equatorial deserts in return for the wealth the development of this land would bring to the entirety of the planet. After a turn of political instability during a blockade by Hephaestus Industries in 2463, the Confederation of Nu'u Fou collapsed and was succeeded by the '''Salamasian Republic''', a state closely integrated with the newly legally extant '''Ecclesiastical Authority of Axiom.''' The special relationship of these twin nations was ratified in the Articles of Concordance, a document mandating the procession of a joint administration over the planet.

	Despite its marginal development, the planet is rife with potential; its advantageous location between [[Konyang]] and [[Xanu Prime]] has ~~seen~~ a ~~rapid influx of~~ trade ~~since the former's admittance to the Coalition of Colonies~~, and the church's interstellar connections have permitted an explosion of development in both nations. Despite their many differences, with the Trinary Perfection still struggling to establish a presence in the Salamasian Republic, the two groups are now convinced that they are stronger together than either would be alone; whether this relationship will eventually sour is the realm of avid speculation.

	'''Because of the ethnic make-up of Axiom's original settlers and assimilation of immigrants into the native population throughout its history, human characters born in the Salamasian Republic will have names and appearances consistent with the people of Samoa and American Samoa. Only native Salamasians and IPCs may select the Salamasian accent. Unless they are a first-generation immigrant who has retained their native dialect, all residents of the Ecclesiastical Authority should use the Axiomite accent. This is enforceable by server moderators and admins.'''
