Boethans are perhaps one of the biggest minorities in Iammelon (and some claim that their numbers are much higher, but these people probably count their non-sentient rodent siblings as well in such measurings). A rather well-off people, living in their planet Boetha as clerks, businessmen/women, public servants, aristocrats, blue collar workers and consumers ..this species of sentient rodents has a diametrically opposite ego to their size as well as a presence in many of the Bazaar worlds, thus many other species of Iammelon consider them coarse, rough and irritating and that they get everywhere. ..Nevertheless, Boethans have many reasons to be proud and there's a very good reason as to why they get everywhere; They're a species of midgets in a world of giants that could crush them any time, yet they manage to get above many noble warrior races and glorious adventurers, for they always were a species that put brains over brawn, owing much to their success and high status to their diplomatic techniques, intrigue and clever way of dealing with things, as well as their savagely brutal military that kept their state as an independent and strong aristocratic republic for many years before the Eskarvi invasion, but also led them to wrong some other species during their history by exploitating foreign worlds through imperialist means ..one could describe them as a stubborn species of tiny spies, technicians and skilled diplomats. Pretty irritating, no?
Nevertheless, not everyone dislikes them; Dragons like Boethans and Boethans absolutely love Dragons and Excave, being one of the most patriotic Iammelonians and excave supporters, often clamouring for the reformation of Iammelon into a unified nation-state led by Tyfrondor directly rather than the compromising corporatocracy it is today. This leads them to boycot many of the enemies of Excave, like Cyboar and even pursue more illegal means of bringing down the companies they see as a threat to their plans of an Iammelonian Imperial Republic led by the Grand Drake. This is not just due to a random fondness of course... the Golden Dragons played a great role in saving Boetha from alien invaders and in turn the Dragons admired the small republic's history regarding their wars of independence against the mighty Zantine Empire. Golden Dragons were perhaps the only species that saw through their small size and admired their intelligence for a chance. Also, Boethans not only wish the Union of Iammelon because they like dragons, but also since they're fanatic Republicans and conservative Iammelonian nationalists.
Of course, Boethans are indeed irritating tiny upper middle classers, so much of the hate is understandable ..especially if you're a hardworking Watrike waitress being constantly harassed by pint-sized sentient mice about the expensive beverage you just served the mice.
Their state operates under a semi-technocratic and elective aristocratic model, with many of the roles in Boethan societies being de-facto hereditary (mostly due to nepotism and tradition rather than laws), nevertheless, there isn't much oppression or dissatisfaction with that seemingly non-populist model, due to as we said earlier; Boethans are pretty much all of them well-off ..nevertheless, Boetha is a representative democracy through and through and many consider it one of the most free parts of Iammelon for that. They are a full-member of Iammelon and a semi-independent part of the Excave zone of Influence, that they so much love. All in all, Boethans are a stubborn folk, greatly valuing their heritage as well as justice ..quick to come to the aid of others during their times of need, they have developed a sense of loyalty and trust to their allies at least, leading many xenos to no longer see them as "Annoying talking rats" but a species of daring and patriotic individuals as well.

Boethan Economy
Boethans possess one of the strongest national industries in Iammelon and one of the most diversified economies that do not adhere to one of the great three companies. From Services to Industrial goods, Boethans produce nearly everything ..which makes them an enemy of Omnipo more than it does Excave, since Excave is their main Resources Associate that they buy all the resources to build their goods from. While Boetha is a Free Trade Capitalist State without any tariffs or company taxes, companies have to abide to a lot of regulations mainly regarding welfare and anti-monopoly laws, as such you will notice many Industrial Companies owning and maintaining Hospitals, Dentist Offices and Schools that the companies workers' families can join for free and everyone else for just a small fee (at cost price). Also, unlike most of Iammelon, the state and law of the Republic of Boetha has more influence than its companies. All Boethan Companies that take part in the Iammelonian Interstellar Stock Market as well as the Boethan "BTA90" Stock Exchange bear the letters BEhC (Boesser Ehneimdijx Companjy - Boethan Anonymous Company)
Their greatest companies based in Boetha are: Sunray Chemicals & Nutrition BEhC (Chemical company and main -friendly- Antagonist of Excave's food flagships), Zircata Group & Zircata Heavy Industries BEhC (Insurance, Machinery, Vessel and Robotics Company with a specialisation in medical augments ..also the most influential company in all of Boetha ..prime enemy of Cyboar), Boesser Stahl BEhC (The largest Metal Industry of Boetha and in direct Cooperation with Excave), Iammelon Carrier Services BEhC (Largest Courier and Space Travel Service in all of West Iammelon), 4U Insurance BEhC and Firedragon Communication & Electronics BEhC (Ethernet Provider, computer electronics behemoth ..currently losing to one of Omnipo's and a Valorian cyber companies; iMelon Innovations Inc & IVM).

Guard and Stellar Navy of the Republic
Although only standing 20 cm tall, they who said Boethans can't fight are up to a bad surprise. Boethans for most of their history have fought, and not just through indirect means and espionage, but literally. Mostly using their small size and agility as assets rather than drawbacks, and how! ...the rotent people of Boetha have a peculiar, yet deadly arsenal; Most of their weapons have to do with neuro-toxins and deadly instant-killing poisons, however when the enemy comes prepared and armoured they will mostly rely on heavy ultra-combusted explosives, strong enough to open up the side of any armoured vehicle. Nearly the entirety of the Republican Guard lacks tanks and is mostly composed of versatile mechanised infantry and rocket platforms, since armoured vehicles seem useless as a handful of bullets of a humanoid-size enemy's gun could take them out. Infantry units usually carry a neuro-toxin assault rifle, a long mini-lightsaber, their ceremonial Tila daggers, a combusted rocket launcher and lots of bravery.
During the Wars of Independence against the Zantine Empire, Boethans used gigantic planetary artillery often ..gigantic not only for their size, but any humanoid's as well! ..these giant cannons manned by thousands of Boethans managed to keep the Zantine Fleets and their big ships away from Boetha, resulting to the planet's safety from invasions.
Aside from their agile infantry and their gigantic artillery, Boethans also have in their disposal the Stellar Navy of the Republic, a Navy strong enough to humble the mighty Zantine Imperial Fleets ...Mostly comprised of heavily armoured corvette-sized ships hiding the secret weapon of the SNR; Boethan-sized tiny fighters that although lacking in autonomy, are a hell to target and possess enough explosives that in their massive numbers manage to make even an Admiral of a Conquest Star Destroyer tremble.
This navy although small in size, is not small in numbers and by deploying hide and attack tactics, or raids, it can prove victorious with ease.
In general the Average Boethan soldier is also really well trained, considering Boetha has always been serious about its independence. Most of the soldiers are conscripts, since all Boethans must serve six months in the Republican Guard and attend reservist training sessions for two days every month of their adult life.
Having beaten the Zantine Empire (leading to the Empire's eventual decline), resisted valiantly the Eskarvi and also enforced various decisions of the Republic on foreign worlds through a nowadays taboo gunboat diplomacy, the Boethan Republican Guard has so far a good record and should be considered one of the most successful Iammelonian independent armies.

Demographics
Boetha although mutlicultural it is rather homogenous by Iammelonian standards with Boethans making at least 89% of the total population. Boethans themselves are divided in many old nations although only two nations (or rather languages) have truly survived the unification of the planet and its entry into the Interstellar Community; Longarians and Wends. Longarians are considered to be the heart and soul of Boetha as well as the nation of the High Class, mostly to their vast overrepresentation in the Senate ..nevertheless Wends make up the majority and are considered equal to them with both communities having powerful figures and always living in harmony and considering themselves Boethan first, Iammelonian second, Starsingers third and Longarian or Wendish fourth ...While Longarians speak perfectly Iammelonian Basic, Wends have an annoying accent, spelling all Ws as Vs and the TH dypthong as Z (ie; Mica Mishat is a Wend Boethan ..or Boesser, as they say!). Both Languages are official and every Boethan knows both alongside Iammelonian Basic, making Boethans a species of trilinguals.

Relations
While Boethans are in general very diplomatic and careful not to offend their fellow Iammelonians they have an excemption when it comes to Zantines, always rubbing to their faces how gloriously small Boetha ruined them and the Republican Guard marched all over Istabull. That being said, Boethans don't consider Cyboar to be Iammelonian and that it should either be destruct, reformed or expelled from Iammelon. Boethans have a bad relation with Valorians as well, due to the Republic taking advantage and causing many economic crises to the less rich Queendom through gunboat diplomacy and forced loans ...Boethans nowadays somewhat feel ashamed of this part of their past and try to forget it and make everyone else forget it as well, but Valorians won't let it down and will in almost all occasions frown at the sight of a Boethan, of course official Valorian-Boethan relations are good nowadays and many Boethan-Valorian friends and even couples exist, but the stigma is still there.
Their greatest state-level ally is Heord and Excave, as well as Tricorn and the Anubites by association ..their truest friends though are Dragons in specific and the non-ruling-humans of the Zantine Empire whom they share much of their history with (Initially, the Boethan National Revolution begun as a movement to reform all of the Empire into a federal republic in which every planet and species would enjoy the same rights).
