What is the in-universe story behind the names Sapphiria, Stellana and Starlight Nation? Because they're bugging me quite a bit. I have this picture of a furred animal with rainbows in its mane from the bad parts of Deviant Art flashing before my eyes.
Ok if you are wondering why do the left-wing politicians have a portion of their stereotype matching up with the real life US conservative stereotype?
The reason is that since the revolution that established this republic, some liberal parties have never stopped advocating the violent overthrow of the remain monarchies of their world. Also their constant cries for revolution have also made them associated with intense love for lax firearm regulation. If their nation's army won't "free" a certain kingdom, then they will do it personally and they will need lots and lots of guns.
On the other side the conservatives have their roots in the old imperial ways of thought. Though they are isolationists, they have a much greater respect for that of peace and co-operation between Sapphiria and other nations. This in combination with their appreciation for the arts of old, have their stereotype being that of bleeding heart hippies.
A good way to swap a few traits and have them justified (or at least handwaved) as well right?

It is has been in my head for so long in an seemingly eternal closed beta. But now I offer you my fellow tropers the chance to participate in this "open beta" to finally at least write down snippets of my world so that they might be subjected to actual criticism. Entries marked by "???" need your help.
So to start...
