I've been thinking about this for a while. Essentially, an interstellar sci-fi nation which composes of "opposite-earth" from a parallel if not nearly completely opposite dimension to ours. It might be cool to create a nation or setting that's utterly strange and alien even to most of interstellar life.

Now, here's my ideas. Feel free to share some of yours and help by expanding it.

- The citizens, flora, fauna, and space inside the region which composes the Realm of Los space are 'negative' in color. Aka, opposite colors, yellow would turn blue, black would turn white, green into magenta, red into cyan, etc.
- Their governing bodies would be fractured proletariat focused monarchies, with a knack for trying to appeal to their citizens fruitlessly.
- Earth would be a fractured, cavernous and hollow "sky realm," with a sphere of cold fire encasing it's atmosphere. The deeper you go inside it, the colder it gets, and most of it's cities "hang" on the bottoms of these islands, thanks to inverted gravity.
- The dead beings of "Arret" (opposite earth.) would respire oxygen, and take in carbon monoxide. They could even possibly drink fire/magma, and eat minerals and stone if we're willing to go that far. (if anything at all that is, they might simply not take in anything whatsoever!)
- Arret itself would be at the very edge of their solar system, which would be constantly shaped as maybe a parallelogram with the biggest planets at it's corners, and a small glowing ice balls set all around the Realms' space.
- The dominant beings of Arret might be bio-mechanical (or fully mechanical) humanoids with varying different shapes or features? If they're machines, they might take in nothing/cold and expel heat/matter as waste product?
- Blunt force cuts, and sharp things dent. Heat freezes, and cold melts. Light is darkness, darkness is light. Weight is inverted in the Dead Realms of Los, the lighter you are, the heavier you are, etc.
- The beings of Arret might speak backwards, or even invert vowels and speech beyond normal understanding, having to have some sort of device to be understood.
- All that is dead in the Dead Realms of Los live, and all that is living is dead. Unlike our universe, death (by life) is rare, if not impossible altogether. With that said, things might not age, they simply come into existence and stay that way unless they are tampered with.
- Their technology might advance "backwards" so to say. The more advanced they get, the more things rely on ancient contraptions and mechanical and clockwork technology in order to function. The cities themselves might be giant and sprawling with gothic architecture and machines constructed large and bulky, with the wilderness itself being rare to find. Bows for whatever reason might be more effective than guns or lazers, spaceships armed with fast-as-sound ballistae and marksman level trebuchets, etc.

That's all I can think of right now. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions to try to expand this with?
