Brief Overview

Miikre-Nui... a legendary island, home to legendary beings. The central district has about the same area as Mata Nui, if not being bigger. Each Koro is uniquely named by its governing turaga (i/e Po-Miikre is named “Stoner Land” by Pohatu’s request) The Miikretoran do not call themselves Onu-Miikretoran or anything like that. They name themselves depending on their Koro. Ta-Miikretoran are named Dragons, Po-Miikretorans Stoners, Onu-Miikretoran Titans, the Ga-Miikretoran are Blue Whales, the Le-Miikretoran Eagles, and the Ko-Miikretoran Wolverines. Those who live in the Central District near Turaga Rustilla’s chamber are named Rich Guys. Each Koro has a number of cities, plus a capitol city where its turaga resides. Anywhere that’s NOT covered by civilization belongs to nature and the rahi themselves. Each koro also has its own landmark or natural wonder, later to be discussed. The political system is very simple. The turaga rules as a Monarch over 6 minor turaga that govern their koros. The head turaga rules the whole country while the minors rule their sections. There has been a history of Civil War between the “provinces” due to contention between other Miikretoran. Usually the monarch is there to break things apart, but occasionally the ancient Toa have to do the job, and they have just about died out as a tradition. Apart from all the wars between different islands, planets and races, Miikre-Nui is a fairly peaceful country for its size.

The Provinces (In Brief)

Ta-Miikre "Pits of Inferno"

Geographic overview- Shaped like a meteor, a big volcano (Mount Lhikan) is the natural landmark. 5 cities in the Koro, the capital being “Phoenix.” The Turaga Tahu resides in the volcano near the magma chamber. All of his meetings are held there (or somewhere near.)

Life of a Ta-Miikretoran Dragon: A typical Dragon’s job is gathering the valuable minerals from Mt. Lhikan’s recycling lava river (such as rubies). A soldier of this Koro normally carries a flaming weapon (torch, fire arrows, flame thrower, bombs, etc.) and a fire-proof suit for looks. They'll use any weapon they have to its best potential, though, as their strategy in battle is mindgames and fake outs (Dragons are very good at mental discipline). Specialized Dragons become cooks, weapon makers, and some are honorable enough to be taught the element of electricity. They would fight as specialized warriors or make extremely unique weapons. Games are often held at the ash fields near the volcano. The seas are abominable to this region, and as such they are border lined. The beaches are merely in the lava river of Mt. Lhikan. Dragons are the 2nd most peaceful Miikretoran in the nation contrary to common belief (Onu-Miikretoran Titans being 1st). They enjoy burning contests, bonfire showdowns, and fire duels for games. They more than often participate in Kohli tournaments.

Crazy Law: It is against the law to attack your fellow Dragon’s property with illegal use of water. That kind of stuff is what lava is used for.

Po-Miikre "Stoner Land"

Geographic Overview- Shaped like a diamond. Most of the region is foggy desert due to all of the pollution. *Cough*STONERS!!*Cough* Pohatu locates his Iron Palace in the middle of the Diamond Desert Landmark Area to escape some of the pollution. He holds his meetings in capitol city Methane Alley. There are 7 other cities.

Life of a Po-Miikretoran Stoner: Normal Stoners spend their days mining for diamonds in the deserts. Their soldiers are trained to withstand the hardest of blows from their enemies. The Stoner army is highly specialized in its artillery forces, and they know how to launch a siege attack against their opponents. Their special warriors are Metaltoran (Those with the element of Metal), each one with its own unique weak spot. They are designed as a 2nd to last resort if times are especially hard. Specialized Stoners become heavy metal bands entertaining the masses (most of which sounded like Dethklok in the early days, but most switched to normal metal due to health reasons- see Crazy Law #4) or drug dealers that keep the “True” Stoners “relaxed.” The recreational area is the entire region (games are held ANYWHERE). Stoners are marked as the proudest Miikretoran in the city and residents of the 2nd most fascist region (Ga-Miikretoran Blue Whales taking 1st for yet to be explained reasons). They enjoy a good drug doing, whacking each other with rocks, near-death stunts, and downhill racing. They don’t enjoy Kohli as much as the other regions.

Crazy Laws:

• No foreigner may enter this region without being immunized of all drugs (Health code).
• If you can resist the temptation to smoke (which VERY few do), you are an honorable citizen and earn the title of Earth Warrior.
• It is illegal to drink without first becoming a citizen.
• Unless you are prepared to deal with the fact that death metal is extremely hazardous to the health and mental sanity of the fans listening to it, DON'T BECOME A DEATH METAL BAND. Become a normal metal band instead. ~Instituted by Turaga Rustilla

Onu-Miikre “Excavator’s Field”

Geographic Overview- Shaped like an oval. Odd mountain formations seem to take linear form of a shovel. Turaga Onua resides somewhere in the “Head of the shovel.” His meetings are held at the “Handle.” The capitol city is Avalanche, with 5 other cities in the region.

Life of an Onu-Miikretoran Titan: If you were the average schmoe of a Titan, you would spend your life digging tunnels underground and making vehicles. If you were a soldier, you'd be strongly ridiculed. They have a strong reputation of being peaceful. If you are lucky enough to be honorable, you may end up being an architect, a rahi herder, or a projectile weapon maker (Yes, Miikre-Nui has guns). Recreation is held underground. Usually it is tunnel racing that suits titans.

Crazy Laws:

• It is illegal to hold recreation above ground in Excavator’s Field.
• You may not do business underground without being a citizen.
• It is against the region law to hunt Rahi for sport.
• It is illegal to eat the dirt of Excavator’s Field, but who in their right mind would do this anyway?

Ga-Miikre "The 8th Sea"

Geographic Overview- Tidal wave shaped, swampiest region in Miikre-Nui, tons of lakes everywhere, and abundant rivers. The Chamber of Gali lies in the very center of the area, in the capitol city of Harbor where all meetings take place. There are 10 other cities. You can find sapphire anywhere on this island, even in the water. Ancient tsunami creators that stretch for miles across the shore are the landmarks.

Life of a Ga-Miikretoran Blue Whale: Think America. Then take out the TVs, the pollution, the comedy, all music except for Country, the democracy, the movies, most of the laws, the crime, the laziness, and the stupidity, and then turn every citizen into a blue Matoran. You now have the average Blue Whale Schmoe. War is the basis of this region, and because of that it has become the most fascist region in the country (even though Gali HATES war and does all she can to prevent it, the Blue Whales never listen). Blue Whales can’t go a week without picking a fight with another power (Usually the Stoners). They are trained in martial arts, destroying diamonds with their bare hands, and being real soldiers who don’t use sissy projectile weapons. Honored blue whales play country music, keep the tsunami makers working, or beat the c-rap out of perfectly good TVs. They enjoy this and humorlessly insulting the Stoners.

Crazy Laws:

• Stoners are FORBIDDEN to enter the 8th Sea for their own safety.
• Any Miikretoran who owns a TV here will be subject to having their TV blown up.
• Country music owns. End of story.
• It is dishonor to own a projectile, but you may still own one regardless (You’ll just be made fun of to death).

Le-Miikre "Airzone"

Geographic Overview- Shaped like a wing, extremely fast winds, forest covers anything not city, Turaga Lewa owns his tree house in the emerald fields. A known landmark is the Great Hurricane Basin. The capitol city is Twister, somewhere nearby. Meetings are oblivious to these citizens.

Life of a Le-Miikretoran Eagle: What would you do as a normal Eagle? You would gather emeralds, green rocks, be a comedian, or make aircraft and weapons. This is the first region with the knowledge of nuclear weapons stolen from the human race. Back in the old days, they didn’t use them often, because most of their wars stayed within Miikre-Nui (If they bombed Stoner Land’s desert, it’d only blow diamonds all over the place). Their soldiers are mostly air-based, and would make a great team with the Naval Blue Whales and the Earth going Stoners. They carry a pair of mechanical wings or a jet pack, and sniper rifles, axes, air katanas, machine guns, or explosives. Specialized soldiers are assigned to the Eagle Air Force. All Eagle soldiers know how to make the best use of ranged weapons, and therefore they are strongly known for keeping their attacks at a safe distance. Apart from the war, Eagles have the best sense of humor in the country (completely opposite of the Blue Whales). Common games are Kohli, football, tree swinging, and dogfights. They have a tendency to form extremely loud and obnoxious marching bands, make up really long jokes, and pull pranks constantly. Anything can make an Eagle laugh, even the word “Pudding.” This city has no crazy laws except to have an excellent sense of humor if you wish to make friends.

Ko-Miikre "Arctic Plains"

Geographic Overview- Region depicts a snowman from 7 miles high. It snows every day here. The capitol city is Antarctica, where the huge-anus Temple of Pneumonia is held. Turaga Kopaka lives in Kopaka peak, another landmark in the Arctic Plains. A total of 3 cities are in this region.

Life of a Ko-Miikretoran Wolverine: Wolverines are known to mine for any crystal available in the region for a living. Soldiers use these crystals to make hybrid weapons of any variety. They value defense more than offense, and because of that their shielding devices are the best in the country. Back when Miikre-Nui was in Civil War, they never took either side, because they couldn't be bothered to get mixed up in war. Special wolverines will produce TVs in bulk for the TV craving citizens of the region. Icicle fighting for fun is very common. Nothing else is really special about this place except for the legends in the huge Temple.

Crazy Laws:

• No TV = No Social life.
• Defense > Offense.
• Any crystal is better than no crystal.
• Crazy laws like the other regions have suck.

Central District (No special name)

Geography: What's to say? It's a circle of land bigger than Mata-Nui. It has a bunch of fancy high-tech landscaping all over it. Rustilla lives in the center of it, and all foreign affairs are dealt with inside of it. The whole circle is one city.

Life of a Rich Guy: Put it this way: The rich guys are a diversity of all Miikretoran that just get along REALLY well. I MEAN, REALLY WELL. They're even more peaceful than the Titans, but they're not really a province (the Titans keep their title as the most peaceful province). They see no war because everyone likes them. In fact, major wars have stopped just because a rich guy was walking across the battlefield taking pictures. Besides, who's to attack them? They have more defense than the Wolverines, a sense of humor that rivals the Eagles, the peace mentioned for the last 3 sentences, and the pride of the Stoners. The Central district IS basically Metru Nui, except you don't constantly work all day unless you have a job. Everyone loves the Rich Guys. Who doesn't? The poor? Nah, they love'em, too.

Only ONE crazy law: If you don't socialize well or if happy people piss you off, then go away.

Things to Note:

• Miikre means “Human” in Matoran, so Miikretoran are Human/Matoran hybrids.
• There is no such thing as Protodermis in Miikre-Nui.
• More wars are fought between provinces than against anyone else- usually they're friendly Civil War battles of practice (with a strict policy of not using anything that can't be reused during these).
• Miikre-Nui can be compared to America 1000 years from now apart from the Monarchy.
• Space travel is possible- the Wolverines invented it. That’s why wars are so abundant.
• The Miikretoran do not die of natural causes, but must be killed to do so.
• If dead, a Miikretoran can be rebuilt.
• Drugs can be found and are used here, yet it’s illegal everywhere but Stonerland for various reasons.
• Miikre-Nui’s population is around 200,000 (Census Bureau)
• No one who has been to the Lost World of Time or Island of Hidden Elements has returned, so no data is available.
• The whole "All Ga-Matoran are girls and the rest are guys" concept doesn't exist either.
