Eilaela (pronounced eye-LAY-luh) is a swampy remote planet that is featured in the story Planet Eilaela and its rewrite Planet Eilaela Retold.
History
The planet was thought to be both uncharted and uninhabited when first crash-landed on by Vultro the Fox. Natives of the planet later confirmed its name, and that it had been previously charted until erased from most maps by Solidus the Werewolf years prior. It turns out that the southern swamplands Vultro had crashed into were one of the more remote areas, and well-populated towns and cities exist on the planet. The capital city of the planet is Manabeau, with a population of 378,000.
The planet has at least one named moon, Xola, a desert moon with a breathable atmosphere. Due to its fluctuating climate, it is sparsely populated, though some research bases do exist.
Climate
A majority of the planet experiences a fairly temperate climate, though the vast swamplands make a large percentage of the southern land impractical to live on. The more habitable area is a large northern landmass, which contains 78% of the planet's population.
At the poles, the weather is also fairly habitable; a further 15% of the population can be found there.
Government
The planet was traditionally ruled by an oligarchy, consisting of the leaders of the seven tribes of the planet. It has existed ever since it was first settled thousands of years ago. Each tribe has its own method of selecting its leader, ranging from a simple vote to combat and competitions.
Though this group still exists in the present day, in more recent years they have taken more of a symbolic role as more and more policies are decided by a unanimous public vote. Though the tribes have disagreed and even declared war on each other in the past, the last 192 years have been peaceful.
