The Nundinae League

"And here, gentlemen, the planet of Farica hereby displays their intent to submit to the economic hegemony of the Nundinae League, who shall gain possession over the shipyards, major manufacturing plants, and various moon-mining operations run by Farica. The colony of Farica does not relinquish its sovereignity, democratic elections, nor its foreign policy. Shipyards are no longer under lease by the government, although all natural resources remain the technical property of Farica."
Julius Maxmillian the Third, leader of the Nundinae League, inheritor of the Maxmillian estates on Farica, and merchant extraordinaire. Two shipyards, as well as considerable natural resources were housed on Farica - a colony of some nine million people. As of now, they were almost Nundinae League subjects. The control he exerted over manufacturing and construction was immense. He had no desire to run a nation, merely a trading league.
Nations required care. As it was, he had all of the power with none of the responsibility.
The last of the Elected Trustees signed the contract. Julius contained a smirk.
"Good day to you, gentlemen. Viaticus est vox."
With that, he left. The fate of a trading league was in his hands. The Nundinae League had been formed by his family almost three hundred years ago in Farica - before the bloody unification wars, along with the nuclear weaponry that had accompanied them, virtually depopulating the planet, and making over nine-tenths of it uninhabitable. Since then, the Nundinae League had risen to prominence under Family care, and Farica had been unable to resist it. It manufactured radiation shields, among other things. The stranglehold it had on Farica's trade was more due to a lack of competition, admittedly - other companies would have to ship in good to a tiny consumer-base without the infrastructure to unload their goods effectively, where he tied up all planet-to-space transport, as well.
His personal ship, the Argentum awaited him outside the station. Farica was just the beginning. The old council of Elected Trustees had advocated seclusion, using the hyperspace laneways only when Farica would have been destroyed without what they had to offer. Now, though, he would take Farica, and the Nundinae League, to the stars. To all of the stars.
