Zenith

The Zenith is the name of a political party that reached the zenith of its power around 4208 AD, fighting against the Crystals, the Swamp Kids, and the Matrix.

Origins

The Xʷugâ people native to the southern slopes of the Potoppos Mountains were the ancestors of the Zenith party. However, for most of their existence, they were not a political party or even a religion, but rather an ethnic group. They were well known among other ethnic groups for their aggressive promotion of violence against women. They claimed that women were naturally oriented to feel fear, and to submit to the strongest power, and that the way to make women do good deeds is to give them commands and punish them violently if they fail to meet them. Unusually, they were more than 50% male, and were constantly trying to pull women into their party.

The Xʷugâ did not have nations of their own, but rather preferred to live in nations founded by other people. They claimed to be the majority in the Subumpamese state of Vuʒi, which had previously been a nation that was part of Nama, but Vuʒi claimed they were merely a subtribe of the Vuʒians.

In Nama, the Xʷugâ lived mostly in the extreme southeast, just south of the peaks of the Potoppos Mountains, but not in lowland areas that were populated by Astyzzians or other dark-skinned tribes.

In Subumpam, Xwuga were called Fužai and found mostly in the west, but some could be found in the far north as well.

In Paba, Xʷuga were called Fua and found mostly in the north. However, they find the name Fua offensive and prefer Pabaps to call them Fužai as in Subumpam. They made up 70% of the prison population of some northern Pabap cities despite being less than 2% of the total population. Most of these were males. However, the Fua themselves have often been more than 50% male, at least in Paba, because in Paba some criminals of non-Fua ancestry will join the Fua for protection once convicted of a crime, and these people tended to be mostly male as well. The Fua did not ban anyone of any ethnicity from joining the gang.
