Links Rules Galactic Archives Character profiles	Many years ago, the sentient species of the Milky Way were nearly wiped out by a foe known as the Raxan. This species was terrible and cruel, its overriding hive mind directing it towards one purpose: conquest of all. The Raxan were a race of beings with no kindness or compassion, as well as being incapable of feeling any kind of emotion at all. The Raxan were beaten back, however, and under threat of annihilation the Raxan agreed to never again take up arms, and were monitored closely to make sure they would honor their word. For over five hundred years, the Milky Way Galaxy enjoyed relative peace and prosperity under the Federation of Planets. The galaxy was seemingly on its way towards Utopia, a new golden age of cooperation between races. However, that would not last. The Federation became bloated and corrupt. They mishandled many catastrophes, wronging several species that were considered to be minor in the galactic stage. Their mangled policies and crippling red tape led towards a violent uprising by a group known as the Rebellion. EIn addition, the Raxan seemed to be with them. The Rebellion "liberated" the surrounding planets and it appears that they had established an alliance with the Raxan. With the ultimate warrior race on their side, the Rebellion is a threat the Federation can no longer ignore. The galaxy is tearing apart at the seams. Will you fight for peace and stability or do you sympathize with the Rebellion's cause?	Staff members -Sapphire Flame - Tetroneaque

Some government types are simple such as Spring which appears to be a monarchy (has a queen with over-ruling power). At least that's what I believe. However, to avoid confusion it would be best to state the governemnt type that each planet it is. This is more for representatives than others but others may fellfree to post there comments. If you need a list of government types or a reference to further examine the types chosen by others, please visit http://www.orionsarm.com/civ/government.html and scroll down some to the large table.

Code: [b]Species: [/b] (name of species) [b]Name of Rep:[/b] (name of rep) [b]Government:[/b] (Refer to Sharpe's post or my suggestion list) [b]Main ruling party/ ideology:[/b] (Type of ruling party/ideology of your governemnt so we can have a sense of your rep's objectives. [eg, your race's faction is the WAR PARTY, you should be encouraging the feds to go to war. ) [b][u][color=red][SIZE=7]optional stuff[/SIZE][/color][/u][/b] [b]Terrain: [/b](Copy SF's planet description unless you want to change it) [b]Capitol City:[/b] (copy the name of the city SF placed) [b]Public opinion:[/b] (Tell us a little about your rep's goals and the goals of your government) A short list of common governments (for those who cant decide from Sharpe's long list): -Democracy/Republic: people gets to vote, they have freedom of speech, freedom of press etc... -Communist: the Government owns all, everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others XD -Socialist: The people owns everything, everyone is equal -Monarchy: King/Queen, Imperial Governemnt. -Dictatorship: Not king/queen. Usually a general who took over the by force against the will of the majority of the population. And ppl cant speak against the leader -Company owned: company owned, self explaintory. customers first then emplyees. A short list of ideologies -Federalist: These guys care about $$. They believe $$ solves everything. You get a good economy you can take care of all problems. -Populists: Make YOUR people happy and their happiness will fuel your other projects and be successful. -War: War is the answer, total annihiliation of the enemy will solve everything! -Universailist: If joining one side makes another person mad, then why not join everyhing? that way everyone will be happy. Make your opponents happy, then theres no need for war. we'll all be happy living in this galaxy. (truth is, if you try to satisify everyone, you'll end up making everyone hate you)

Survivor of Perpetual Islands Posts: 203 Group: Admin Member #3 Joined: August 23, 2006	Species: Human Name of Rep: Rose Auvior Government: Monarchy (King/Queen, has final decisions, but the public can make decisions as well, on minor things. But as well for things like law, is decided by the Royal family) Main ruling party/Ideology: 65% Populist 25% Federalist 5% War 5% Universalist (I think that's what you meant right? Byt the character, or their planet?) optional stuff Terrain: Mixed Terrain. Occasional cluster of Urban land. More free terrain, and lots of Mountains. Planet is 80% Water. Capitol Cities: Majestine: Lotus, Baen Baen: Baen, Egyptoland: Mercury, Formaland: Dressey, Masket: Stoney, Lands of Enchantment: (This place is no more, now it's waht we call, PI, but from what I recall, when it was still peiced together, it was) New Happyville (Wish I could change that name... But then again, it was created in first grade) Public opinion: Public opinion of the Priorities of Spring party: 1.) Energy Control (Spring has this dark black eye looking thing only seeable from space, It's basically a core of energy) 2.) Natural Restoration/Preservation 3.) Universal Contact 4.) Peace (((I hope I did everything right, I just kinda filled everything out the way I thought it should be looking at yours, Factor))) there's more than one ruler, but mainly, each "country" (((what should I call them...?))) Has only one, or two. (If two, it's the queen and king, otherwise, it's just queen or king) Like say, Egyptoland has two rulers, Queen Samantha, and King Azonama. while Baen, only has... Queen Baen. (<-she's old) Then the other "countries" I never made successors for this RP. That would be too time-consuming...

If you have voting party system then it is the composition of hte parties in the parliament. if there is no election/party then it is the ideology/ belief of the leader.
