Terramyde (Red Sun)

Part of the Red Sun timeline.

Ganymede is the 5th planet from the Sun and the home of the human race. Ganymede formed 4.5 billion years ago and was pushed out of Jupiter's orbit. It is the largest terrestrial planet in the Solar System with a diameter of 12,500 km. Its biospere is a diverse chain of aerobic and anaerobic lifeforms, ranging from single-celled organisms to complex organisms.

Ganymede's outer crust is segmented into different plates capable of shifting over long periods of time.

Atmosphere
Gynamade has a thick atmosphere which helps regulate the temprature around the planet. It is composed primarily of Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%), and other gases (1%). Its average temerature is 20˚C/68˚F, which is very warm and enables rainforests to grow in many parts of the world.

Aether
Aether is Ganymede's largest moon, which was possibly once a planet captured by Ganymede's orbit (which the Langarian Big Crash Theory disputes). It has a rugged, mountainous terrain with a thick, nearly planet-wide forest covering the mountain tops. It played a prominent role in early mythology. The result of Aether's strong tug on Ganymede creates unusually high tides in the summer, though they are not dangerous.

Hemera
Hemera is Ganymede's other moon, which is also probably a planet captured by Ganymede orbit. It is a destolate and barren moon, unlike its counter-part, and has no atmosphere. Because Hemera is small moon, it has considerably less tug on Ganymede and also played a prominent role in early mythology. The result of Hemera's tug is that it help counteract some of the high tides in the summer and they are not as high as they could have been with no Hemera.

Contienents
Ganymede is organized into seven different contienets - Eurapus, Aethifa, Hinujsa, Thoron, Hunag-Wei, Mathulia and Mathulius.

Oceans
Ganymede has five accepted oceans three of them in mid lattidutes Bathutta, Phimkades and Gushen. The other two Ounk, and Oonouck are both polar. Oceans in Ganymede take up 65% of the surface, with the other 35% being land and other islands.

History
See main articles: Timeline (Red Sun), Timeline of Ganymede (Red Sun)

Ganymede is the cradle of human civilization and it is where humans first evolved. After the planet cooled down sufficiently, life began to develop on the planet. The planet's environment, left to its own devices, was altered by the bacterial life to make it more favourable for them, and soon complex beings evolved.

After a few 100s of millions of years of development and mass-extinctions, humans finally evolved. Modern humans have been around for 15,000 years and in that short span have affect many things on the planet. The first modern humans evolved in Aethifa, and when their numbers grew too large, many began migrating to other parts of the world.

As the last Ice Age ended 10,000 years ago, human civilisation grew in greater numbers. The first great civilisations were found on the continent of Aethifa, with the largest spanning a quarter of the continent. By 8,000 years ago, technology was starting to become more and more sophisticated until 7,500 years ago, when a large civilisation grew in the plains of Eurapus.

230 years on, the world struggles to come to terms with itself, yet as the first Aetherian colony is established, mankind looks up to a brighter future.

Introduction on the Current Political Situation
For the past two centuries Ganymede has been caught in a relative competition between two ideologies - Social Fellgenism and Collectivism (derived from Socialism). Fellgenism named after the scientist Pungab Fellgin is the idea the humans do best in a survial to the fittest situation where indiviuals look after themselves. Collectivsm on the other hand is concerned with the well being of an entire community instead of a single person.

After the First Cold-War, Fellgenism dominated the world in the early 23rd century prounced by the U.S.V, U.K and U.R. Fellgenism has long since fallen into decline, turblance and confusion on and off for the past few decades.

Collectivism once considered a failed ideology after the collaspe of the first USR (Union of Socialst Republics) has reappered and even thrived due to it's ability to achevie stabililty in contrast with Fellgenism. Other nations using Collectivism include the UESR (Union of Easteren Socialist Republics) The Commune of Phimkades, The Confederation of Free Ampholinia and many others.

The Cold War between collectivism and fellgenism has contiuned on and off for nearly two centuries in all areas, space colonozation, cultural achivements and milltary power.
