Karemoans

One of the sapient species inhabiting the Galaxy from the Nano Battlers universe. Native inhabitants of the rocky, quite barren planet Karemo.

Biology
While almost everything indicates they are mammals, they are protostome, which doesn't happen very often. The number of chromosome pairs is twice as high as in humans.

They are about two meters tall, well built. They have thick, strong, gray skin, from which short, rather blunt spines grow in some places (e.g. on the head). Men lack hair, but women have flexible, long and slender spines, which may resemble hair. Eyes without visible proteins or pupils, phosphorescent, usually green. No auricles (which does not mean deaf) and no visible nose. Due to their massive build, they often seem don't have necks (especially men). They also have green blood (oxygenated is light green, and deoxygenated - dark green). They have a much higher resistance to alcohol than humans, but if they are big enough, they can get hangover even if they don't get drunk at all.

Culture
In their opinion, giving their future other half of flowers as a proposal is in bad taste, because flowers are easily transient, ephemeral - stones are better (men give ladies pink, ladies - blue). This is to symbolize the desire for a long-term relationship.

The gesture of arranging the fingers in the shape of a ring (in our case the so-called "OK gesture") symbolizes shame and embarrassment, especially if you want to pretend that nothing happened and hide something. For example, the wife asks her husband if he has seen her blender guarantee, and the husband remembers throwing it into the dustbin and, all red and sweaty, puts his fingers in a ring shape and grunts something like: "Uh ... that's quite complicated...".

In the Karemoan language, the term "negative test" for a disease (or any other negative phenomenon) means that the disease is (what we used to call "positive"), and "positive" - ​​that it is not. Only in the case of tests for the presence of positive phenomena, the term "negative result" means that the given phenomenon does not exist, as in most of the galaxy.

On Karemo, the higher the podium number, the higher the result - so the first place is by no means the best, but the worst.

Policy
Karemoans live in either republican or monarchical environments, but the overwhelming majority are elective systems. There are some interesting rules of elections there:


 * who wants to participate actively or passively in elections, must complete a short test on the position for which the candidate will be elected (or which he wants to take) - for example, mark what is and what is not within the competence of the ruler. Whoever makes even one mistake cannot vote - neither passively nor actively.


 * on each ballot card there is an option to select the option "none of the above" - ​​if this option receives the most votes, voting starts again, but with completely new candidates.
