The planet of Derse has a stable, resident population of around 700,000. This is exactly equivalent to Prospit’s population. This may seem very small, but remember that both the medium, and the planet of Derse are small to begin with.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I realize that sexuality in Carapaces is not a subject I have discussed in depth yet, which strikes me as remiss- or perhaps only somewhat modest- of me. Allow me to address some of it now. As I have discussed[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Obviously there is an economy on Derse, as goods and services are exchanged. Such exchanges are made in money (Boondollars, as with the rest of the medium). Dersites are paid by their employers for their labor, their wages are taxed[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There is in fact, only one city, spread out on the surface of Derse, sprawling and magnificent. It covers nearly a solid half of all the land on Derse, the rest being covered in inhospitable mountain ranges. The city is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Dersite diet is in fact quite fascinating. As a culture they are given to heavily spiced food, and preserved food as well, with very little in the way of vegetables. This is of course because Derse has no suitable[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The main currency used on Derse is the same as on Prospit and throughout the rest of the medium, Boondollars. They are also referred to as boonbucks or boonies, and the symbol for the currency is a longtailed uppercase B[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah, my apologies for misinterpreting your question; allow me to elaborate here. The Queens are typically referred to as ‘Your Majesty’ when speaking to them, or ‘Her Majesty’ when speaking about them to someone else. They are also referred to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Carapaces (both Prospitians and Dersites) have two names; a personal name, and a title, sometimes called a ranknym which is officially bestowed, and reflects their job, temperament, achievements, etc. The ranknym is a carapace’s public name, used in identification, to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A fascinating question from one who can not formulate a coherent sentence. As I have deciphered it, you are asking how exactly I communicate with you given my situation. Firstly, I shall correct you Derse is not in space, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
To put it simply, both the King and the Queen rule Dersites, but only the Queen rules the planet of Derse– this is the same for the Prospitian royalty. Because the King spends his life of Skaia waging war, the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is in fact a question I had intended to answer quite soon myself, so I’m glad that you asked. There is in fact, an exact, reflected physical duplicate of each person, on each moon (for the most part.) This[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For Dersites, reproduction is completely decoupled from sex and sexuality, therefore those topics will be covered in another article. Dersite reproduction takes place exclusively in the Veil, on dedicated asteroids built as enormous laboratories. Inside these laboratories are a vast[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
