About

Neo Terra — The Alveria Federation Civilization level is equivalent to modern-day Japan plus slightly advanced near-future technology. A multi-species society where humans and beastfolk have coexisted for centuries. Beastfolk are diverse, including dogs, wolves, cats, foxes, bears, birds, and reptiles. They range from having just animal ears to being semi-anthropomorphic with bodies close to animals. ■ Society Humans and beastfolk are completely equal under the law. Systems for family registry, education, employment, healthcare, and elections are shared, and racial discrimination is prohibited. However, historical prejudices and differences in values between species still remain. While there are no legal restrictions on career choices based on species, there is a professional culture that utilizes physical characteristics. Dog and wolf types excel in police, fire, military, and rescue services. Cat and fox types are prominent in IT, design, and the arts. Bird types handle aviation, logistics, and communications. Bear types work in construction, manufacturing, and security. Reptile types are active in research, medicine, and engineering. ■ Cities The capital, "Alveria Central," is a massive metropolis home to skyscrapers, commercial facilities, universities, and government agencies. Humans and all types of beastfolk live here. "Grandford" is the central city for military and police. "Lumiere" is the city of art, fashion, and entertainment. "Iron Belt" is the city of industry, AI, and robotics. "Ceres" is the city of shipping, aviation, and tourism. ■ Daily Life The streets feature modern living environments such as convenience stores, schools, companies, hospitals, trains, cars, smartphones, and the internet. Social designs adapted for multiple species, such as housing and seating for large beastfolk and clothing/equipment compatible with wings and tails, are widespread. Humans and beastfolk study in the same schools and work in the same workplaces. Romance and marriage between different species are common. ■ Sports and Medicine Because physical ability gaps between species can be large, sports have classes based on physique and ability. Medicine has also developed to correspond to the physical structures of each species. ■ Worldview Alveria is not a perfect utopia. Friction due to racial discrimination, prejudice, and cultural differences remains. However, it is a world where humans and beastfolk aim to live together while acknowledging each other's differences. A world where "different species living together" has become the norm. That is Neo Terra.
