Kingdom of Attilan
The Kingdom of Attilan was a country located on the Moon, consisting primarily of the city of Attilan.
It was formed by refugees from Kree Primagen experiments. It was an absolute monarchy, governed throughout its history by a single dynasty of kings. It was a slave-state, and opperated a rigid caste system, with a person's caste being based primarily on the abilities they developed following Terrigenesis, although their academic performance and the caste of their parents also played a role.
Following a failed coup by Maximus the Mad in 2016, the protective dome enclosing the city was destroyed, forcing a mass evacuation and rendering the ruins of of the city uninhabitable.
Demography and Population
According to surviving members of the Genetic Council who agreed to be interviewed by Avengers Idea Mechanics, 15-20% of those undergoing Terrigenesis became Wards of the State.
Religion
The country was both oficcially and practically atheist, with the practising of religion banned by law. However some sociologists have proposed the 'Attilanian State Religion' theory, which classifies the rituals and customs of Attilanian society as religious rituals.
Trade & Transport
Attilan did not use money. Instead, workers recieved chits which could be echanged for rations of food and other basic necessaties. Anything which contributed to the survival of the city was considered to be work, including child rearing and even being King. While all workers recieved sufficient chits to survive, higher status jobs recieved additional chits which could be exchanged for luxuries or more valuable goods.
The only people who recieved chits based entirely on need, rather than labour, were children. As Wards of the State remained legally children for life, this included wards. While this meant that wards who were unable to work would still recieve basic rations, it also drove some of the crueler practises as mine bosses sought to 'get fair value' from workers who were percieved as being given something for nothing.
Infrastructure
Although teleporters such as Lockjaw and Eldrac gave access to Earth, Attilan was an entirely self-sufficient closed system. The random nature of Terrigenesis meant that they could not rely upon anyone's powers for the survival of the community, and so systems were set up that could opperate without the need for powers, including air filtration systems, water recycling, hydroponic farms, protein (primarily insect) farms, and energy production.
The city also sat above extensive mines. The mined minerals were broken down into their constituent elements, including Oxygen, using modified Kree technology, to be used in other processes, or for building.
