Government
Capitol: Cara'sir

Ele Arandur: The highest governing body in the Tir, the Ele Arandur (Council of Princes) is composed of eleven princes: Aithne Oakforest, Sean Laverty, Jenna Ni'Fairra, Jonathan Reed, Maria Cinebal, Dar Varien, Lofwyr, Blake Ladner, Garth Stone, Larry Zincan, and "Rex."

If a council seat is ever vacant, each remaining council member may nominate a candidate from the Royal social rank. The council as a whole then democratically elects the replacement. While the High Prince cannot himself nominate a candidate, his vote counts as five.

Se'har Maera: The Ele Arandur selects a Se'har Maera (High Prince) from amongst their own number, and every prince is eligible. Once elected, the Se'har Maera serves for life. Although he can step down, he also relinquishes his right to sit on the Council.

The Se'har Maera serves as the head of state of Tir Tairngire, head of both the legislative and executive branch, and commander in chief of the Peace Force in both its military and police functions.

Se'ranshae Elenva: The Tir is divided into 128 "ridings." Each riding elects a single representative to sit on the Se'ranshae Elenva, more commonly referred to as the Star Chamber. The Star Chamber considers all major issues, excepting matters of national security, and passes its recommendation on to the Council of Princes, which makes the final decision on each matter.

Corporations of the Tir
Tir corporations are divided into two distinct brackets: National and Multinational. National corporations are those created and owned by Tir subjects, and have a nearly free reign to do as they please. While they have a mandantory 5% of the company held by the government, they are still far better off than most outside megacorporations, who require a Prince's Seal to merely operate in the country. In addition foreign corporations must form a subsidiary, which must issue the standard 5% stock holdings to the TT government. Government permission must also be obtained to sell off the subsidiary, or even as little as 10% of its stocks. This is, of course, in addition to the standard TT taxes.

[I]Telestrian Industries Corporation- Telestrian Industries is the largest corporation in the Tir, with its fingers in nearly every pie. Besides its large military contracts (along with nearly every other branch of the government), Telestrian also holds licenses for many of the food crop species grown in Tir Tairngire. The CEO is James Telestrian III. Information on security/military forces is not available.

Renraku Computer Systems- While not the largest corporation in the Tir, Renraku is the undisputed king of matrix services and products, from cyberterminals to ICE to node programming. Security forces are formidable, both online and off, with approximately 40,000 employees in this division.

Saeder-Krupp Heavy Industries- Owned entirely by Prince Lofwyr, Saeder-Krupp is the second largest Tir corporation, specializing in electronics, manufacturing and power generation, operating a full 48% of all power plants in Tir Tairngire. Security details are generally high, with over 80,000 security employees across the Tir.
