I hate putting text walls in the description but it had to be copypasted from my tumblr blog, the blog looks MUCH better than DA here, it comes with extra pictures! I recommend you see THIS instead!

Broken Yolk Galaxy officially recognizes three intragalactic nations. They operate like three states within a single country, separate but closely knit and working under the same laws and policies.
Aurora NationThe first intragalactic civilization formed. It was founded by the nedal, who were the first sapients to colonize space. Their territory encircles the galactic center.
Aurorian culture is the most artistic, incorporating various art forms in everyday life and architecture (such as graffiti being common and accepted, elaborate and over the top costumes being normal, and having exaggerated/cartoony body language being socially accepted). Their culture is individualistic and overly saturated with art and entertainment. They churn out the most movies, video games, visual art, literature, etc; and construct the most entertainment centers like amusement parks and theaters. Most citizens get the most enjoyment from consuming content, with many also producing their own art. Nedals - the nations’ majority - are most involved in this entertainment culture (because they are biologically inclined to be mentally stimulated so much), minority species are slightly less so (because they are enculturated into it).

Aurorian philosophy is generally relaxed, simple and sometimes nihilistic; life is about enjoying it as best as one can and following your dreams. The symbol shown above typifies ‘thinking outside the box’ or ‘standing out from the crowd’, represented with a small circle sticking outside the main circle. The name ‘Aurora’ is in reference to the extravagant auroras of their homeworld, considered to be one of the most beautiful displays of nature.
Chloro NationThis space colonial nation was formed independently by the delorix, after Aurora already existed. The two met eventually and quickly formed an alliance with the common goal to spread their colonies across space. Chloro territory takes up one entire arm of the spiral galaxy.
Their culture is based on a working with nature, by terraforming new planets to support life and living as close to perfect harmony with it as possible. Because of this, most Chloro societies are not as futuristic-looking as the other nations. They share all the technologies of the other nations, it’s just their general smaller populations and less demand for energy make them more able to live simpler. Most live in rural or semi rural conditions, but still enjoy things like electricity, heat and internet (called omnigrid). One technology they do excel at more than the other nations is genetic engineering, which they use to craft specimens for terraformed worlds, modify their pets and sometimes even modify themselves .

Chlororians generally have the belief that life is precious, and many enjoy working and enjoying themselves with nature (such as keeping a pet, frequenting parks and nature reserves, gardening, etc). The symbol shown above represents ‘nurturing life’, shown as an egg/fetus (the smaller circle) under a roof (the curve on top). They named their nation ‘Chloro’ in reference to chlorophyll, the cell organelle that turns light into energy for plants, the basis of the food chain for most life on their homeworld. An apt symbol of their environmentalism.
Igneous NationThis nation, founded by the masakas, was the third and final space faring civilization to appear in history. They encountered the already allied Aurora and Chloro and had a hostile initial contact and a short war over ownership of star systems, but latter declared a truce the with the other two and eventually relations became good enough to form an alliance (this whole ordeal took a few centuries). Their territory is the other entire galactic arm.
Igneous culture is more materialistic than the other two, and most of its’ star systems have a strong, healthy capitalistic economy. It’s a culture where the common life dream is to start ones’ own business and acquire plenty of material wealth, including extravagant homes, collections of items of interest (individuals have different interests and collect different things), and afford fancy food. They have the most holidays, which are mostly excuses to fuel economies and buy things for each other (think Christmas with multiple different themes/aesthetics multiple times a year :V ).

Their general philosophy is that happiness comes from owning a lot of cool things (and because of the species-specific psychology of the masaka majority, it’s generally the case). The symbol above represents the unions of the three masaka sexes, as there was rampant gender stratification within their pre-space colonial history (left arrow being vik, dot in the middle being khaw, and the right arrow being bruk). The name ‘Igneous’ is in reference to igneous rocks, which is used in a lot of their construction and industry, and also references the geothermal energy they usually use for industrial production.
Other??The zrais have no nation, because they were uplifted by the nedal while still in their tribal era and thus never had space colonization in their history. They live in all three nations, though most live in Aurora.
The smazels arrived from outside the galaxy. They lived exclusively on the enormous weaponized spaceships they came in, wanting a holy war. They lost said war and thus, lost most of their ships, survivors and their descendants live in reservation planets near where they once did battle, on the edge of Igneous Nation.
