GOVERNMENT: FEDERAL


The Order Makers government consist of 3 houses “the 3 houses of governance”:
House of Admirals,
House of Governors,
and the Senate

The House of Admirals:

Each admiral in the fleet has a representative in the House of Admirals, but if the admiral so wishes they can also attend, this is rare because admirals are busy almost all the time. Within the house once every 5 years a “Chairman” is elected by the admirals, each admiral has 1 vote, they cannot vote for themselves.

The Chairman must relinquish his rank after assuming the role of Chairman.

The Chairman can start a election within the House if he/she themselves wishes to become a Senator and stand as the 5th candidate.

The Chairman is in direct control of the fleet and once every 5 years he/she selects 15 Admirals to stand for senatorial positions. In the half term elections.

An admiral may deny being selected only once every 2 terms.

The Mius – Consul or The Consul can only give there orders to the Chairman as he is id under there responsibility however the admirals themselves only obey orders from the chairman.

A Bill can be proposed witch if approved gets sent to the senate

The House of Governors:

Governors, govern planets NOT systems, a system is just basically a region

It’s basically the same up until the chairman witch in this house is called the Prim-Minister, who after elected by the governors, can select any governors to become Ministers, they can only deny once every 2 terms.

Once a governor is a Minister or Pri-Minister they automatically relinquish there powers over the planets. The internal elections in The House of Admirals and The House of Governors are held at the same time as the half term elections to avoid any confusion

Ministry of Education
Ministry of Culture and Entertainment
Ministry of Health
Ministry of Transport
Ministry of Communications
Ministry of Environment
Ministry of Science
Ministry of the Courts
Ministry of Workplace Relations
Ministry of Power and Water
Ministry of Tax and Budget
Ministry of External Relations (NS only)

A Bill can be proposed witch if approved gets sent to the senate

The Senate:

The senate consist of 75 members

Senators are elected during the half term elections(One every 5 years) out of 50 candidates 25 are elected by the people via ranking system, (top 25 get the seats in the senate), after the election the senators that have served 3 terms are retired and if they wish must start the whole political ladder again(almost all the time they choose to retire)

The Senate debates bills that come through and how to maintain order within the galaxy (in the case of NS it will be External Relations)

During the Full term elections 2 elections are held, one for the Consul or head of government, in this election only the senator’s vote, and a public election for the Mius-Consul who is head of state. The Mius- consul often deals with external matters (only on NS) while the Consul is more internal, the Mius-consul has the power of veto or formally known as Tribunes Potestas, over all subordinates, a Mius-consul can only veto a bill 3 times,

Normal term expiree dates do not apply to these two roles however if they have been in office for more then 3 half terms they cannot become a senator again if they are unelected, they can be re-elected any number of times

GOVERNMENT: PLANITARY

Each planet has a court of representatives who are elected in each regional center on a planet. Much like the Australian House of reps, except without ministers or a Pri-minister. Instead the people of said planet elect one on of the representatives (they cannot vote for there own regional representative) to become the governor this election takes place during the half term elections. Elections to install representatives are held during the full term elections.

PEOPLE

The people of the order makers live comfortably, the majority living a huge metropolises there are usually around 15 of these mega cities on each planet excluding Evo Alengelis, the capital which surface is completely covered in city, the north east being Urban and the rest varying densities of suburbia. Although there a multiple races, the Japanese culture is the dominant, be it a variation. This is shown mainly in the naming eg Surname coming first. However some people prefer to have more European name, but the same structure still applies.

The People are kept in order by a reassurance that there government is protecting them, and the elections that are held about every 4 years.

The Language is a blend of Japanese, Mandarin, and English, about 40% English, 40%Mandarin and 20%Japanese, but for obvious resions I will be writing it as English

Most people hold a Liberal political view, often in conflict with the ruling government, but 98% of the time the government takes into account there opinions and modifies actions planed to the best of there abilities, however the government remains firm on it’s breakaway faction policy

ECONOMY

The Currency is the Rem

The economy is small but affective, most companies dealing in technology and computers with a increasing arms manufacturing section, however they do not supply arms to the government, who make there own in Replicator factories located in shipyards.

The average working man/woman works in government positions such as administration and military being the most popular, the rest work in private corporations, very few people are self employed, seeing free enterprise as not as important as people thought in the past

MILITARY / LAW INFORCEMENT

The military and the police force are the same organisation

The actual military used is a separate entity to the government during the age of ashes around 2000 years ago a Militia calling them selves the order makers successful restored order and democracy and founded the government simply known as The Democracy. They continued to work as a there name suggests and to protect there government from chaos, a few members take this to the extreme founding a cult of the Order Makers.

The average ship is around 5 Kms long (I have yet uploaded a picture I will as soon as I get access to a scanner)

The command structure is the basic navel eg Captain, Commander Ensigns etc, (Kinda like star treck)

Ground forces were a tight body suit under there uniforms witch acts like a regulator, and increases energy strength and agility while reducing the chance of physical injury, some commandos also carry personal shields.

Artillery is very rare given that most of the time (so far) The Order Makers have special superiority.

Tanks use antigravity to enable them to move across any surface with ease. (again I have yet to find a scanner)

Every weapon used has too settings: Material and Energy, energy fire is used to overload a shield while matter will only get evaporated having little to no affect on the shield

While material fire than destroys flesh and armour, while energy fire will simply slide off thick armour and have little affect on body suits.

When attempting to board a ship, a ship will send out fighters and landing craft, each usually caring 10 to 20 marines (2 squads), if the opponents shield is at the same frequency as the landing ship (if they have same shield technology) the ship can easily pass through the shield with no problems, however shields are constantly being referequenced and it becomes almost impossible to estimate what frequency it will be, also you can only measure the frequency at close distance.

TECHNOLOGY

FTL: is relatively simple, it applies quantum mechanics (yes I know read on and you will understand) it was discovered shortly after the Age of Ashes that as you get smaller your existence also gets smaller, so as a ship reduces it’s material existence the spaces it needs to travel become smaller making the ship appear to go very fast to a person in the normal plain of existence.

Energy: basic cold fusion, if too poler atoms move into close proximity they realise high amounts of energy forcing other atoms closer together, water is the best compound to use fro this, the water can be easily go back to normal if you just leave it for a few seconds.

The Replicators : They take material and change it to any other material via conversions to energy then reorganisation into matter

(these are the only technologies that need explaining)

A more detailed fact book will be available soon, once I iron out the details
