OOC: This is set for after my intro thread. I'm just setting this all down to pen and paper now before I forget it all. I'll have to update as well, to include more. I just felt this was the best way to introduce a new idea I had while watching tv. Can you guess what I was watching?
IC:
From the Fedral Tribunal, true government of the Ministry of Shadow:
Be on alert, the band known as The ministry of Shadow has risen to power, having realised the power they hold over their listeners, they have taken over by force, five small previously unknown nations and have set out to launch their international careers. You have been warned.
To aid your resistance to their control, we have gathered as much intel as we could, and listed it here, however, our informants were mostly captured and killed by the Ministry.
1. Geography
The united fans of the Ministry of Shadow live in five relativly close areas, all close to a dead world known as SR358, in the outer most edges of Milky Way, close to Andromeda.
2. Economy
Before an event labled as "The Concert of War", the Economy consisted mainly of trade with each other in such products as Gold, Steel, Silver, Iron, Copper, and the occasional music album, however, none were as popular as The Ministry of Shadow, no one could explain it, when they played, it was as if they controlled their listeners minds. In the new united nation, Everything has taken a back seat to The Ministry of Shadow albums and other items.
3. History
In the year 20X6, five friends from five worlds formed a band in their parents Garage. At first they were possibly the worst band in history, but then, according to rumors and heresay, they encountered an entity of pure darkness from beyond. They exchanged their souls for talent beyond comparison, and adopted the name of this being, The Ministry of Shadow.
From their garage they rose to local bars and stages, and then to other worlds. Finally, one fateful night Ten years to the day they encountered the Ministry, they held a concert they called, the concert of war, having hijacked several international satelites and broadcasted their message. The people of the five worlds system responded, and overthrew their own governments in a massive Riot. Quickly, a peace treaty was signed, and the Ministry was declared the new rulers of the five Worlds system.
4. Military
The Five worlds System was a peaceful, mostly unnoticed system in the backwaters of intergalactic affairs. It would've cost more than it was worth to take over this system, even unopposed. Mostly they had a few space fleets, but had long since been at peace with each other, and these fleets were mostly just to ease the mind should an outside force attack.
The Ministry however has plans to develop a larger, more serious fleet.
5. Government and Political Structure
The United Fans of The Ministry of Shadow, known simply as The Ministry of Shadow, or, The Ministry, is a false government. Sure they pass laws, and the citizens listen to them and obey their commands like mindless zombies, but The Ministry takes a mostly inactive role in governing the people. Within the Ministry though, is The Fedral Tribunal, made up of the most important figures of the five old governments of The five worlds system. They are the true rulers, and daily oppose The Ministry in whatever manner they can in secret, while still maintaining peace among the people.
The Tribunal rules via democracy, while The Ministry is more of a dictatorship.
The seat of Government for the Ministry is a place called Remora, however, no one knows where that is, similarly, The Tribunal is secreted away on one of the five worlds. However, the largest world, known as Arom, boasts a the largest collection of government buildings, and is thought by many to be the seat of government.
