Mobian civilisation

Mobian foxes#

The official biological name is Vulpes mobianis. Mobians of Mobiania are intelligent anthropomorphic foxes. The principal varieties are Red, Arctic and Silver; red foxes are the most common.

In the original history of Mobius, the general term Mobian covers intelligent species derived from various animals, birds and reptiles. For Mobian subjectship the Constitution imposes a specific restriction: only Mobian foxes may be subjects. The broader planetary meaning and the state-specific meaning must therefore be distinguished.

Mobian foxes have fur, a tail, front and back paws, fox ears and a snout. Hair and fur at the temples beneath the ears are an adaptation providing additional protection against cold. Size, colour, number of tails and physique are established separately for each fox.

Transfurmation is the scientific transformation into a Mobian. In the HOI4 Earth timeline it is applied, among others, to Earth inhabitants. After complete transfurmation, an individual is biologically Mobian; their origin does not make them a separate inferior subspecies.

Origins of intelligent species#

In prehistory, extraterrestrial genetic intervention produced Overlanders and Mobians. Humans in the original world of Mobius are considered extinct. These facts concern the prehistory of Mobius; they do not imply the absence of Earth inhabitants in the twentieth-century alternate-history scenario.

Mobius Prime#

Mobius Prime / Mobius Prime is the Mobians' home planet. It was destroyed by a planetary catastrophe in early 3241. In the Earth alternate-history setting it is described as a future Earth.

The continents of Mobius:

Exact areas, climatic subdivisions and national borders of the continents have not been established.

Vulpilla Prime#

Vulpilla Prime / Vulpilla Prime is a colonised planet with one continent. Official acts of 3243-3244 describe exploration of habitable planets, Mobian activity on Vulpilla and the establishment of a northern administrative subject.

Place names include Primary Expansion Zone, New Mobotropolis, Fuchsheim and Foxstadt / Fuchsstadt. The distinction between the northern subject and its town must be preserved: Decree 060 establishes Fuchsheim and gives its town the name Foxstadt; later acts use Fuchsstadt. The Russian historical name of the revolt refers to Fuchsstadt.

Capital and administrative units#

The general capital is Mobotropolis. The history of the particular town depends on the world. In the early Minecraft timeline Truro, then London, performed capital functions. Decree 001 of 14/09/3241 temporarily transferred capital functions to London after Truro's destruction.

The constitutional administrative units are towns and fortresses. A town is headed by a governor, an ISS official; a fortress by a commandant, a Ministry of Defence official. The Emperor governs the capital directly. Administrative units possess no independent state sovereignty.

Known versions include the towns and territories Mobotropolis, Truro, London, Cardiff, Aberdeen / Foxburg, Belfast, Fort-Cornwall, Fuchsheim / Fuchsstadt, Foxwall and Fort-Foxmouth. Their status and dates appear in the relevant histories; they do not form one simultaneous map of the state.
