Novaya IV

Novaya IV was the fourth planet of the Novaya system, the home and seat of power of the Norsoutha-Tomoshima Dynasty and the capital world of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth. Known for their militarism and involvement in politics and military services, the Novayans are a militaristic and progressive conservative people. They controlled Novaya IV through a politico-military complex and a military-industrial complex all the while tending to the environment. Due to this, Novaya IV is a militarized urban world.

===Society===
Novaya IV is heavily militarized with a civilian-to-soldier ratio of 200:5. Due to its culture and society and responsible gun ownership among civilians, Novayan civilians living in Novaya IV were given guns with which they will own, use and maintain responsibly in addition to body armor, helmets and combat gear. Novayan civilians undergo basic military training at age 16, with Novayan children at age 13 also receiving basic military training but under the watchful eye of adult Novayans.
Unlike Novaya III and Meridian, Novaya IV usually have police officers working in tandem with military personnel and emergency responders during martial law, but curfews start from 8 PM until 7:30 AM, where during that time police officers and military personnel patrol the streets, alleyways, highways and waterways; those who defy curfews were arrested or, if resisting, have to be knocked out. During the day Novayan police officers and military personnel man checkpoints and perform patrols, either joint or separate, though some or few help security guards in providing additional protection for public or private places such as schools, hospitals, churches, malls, supermarkets, movie theaters, office buildings, train stations, spaceports, and airports.
The government of Novaya IV is a hereditary military dictatorship with elements of representative democracy and direct democracy into the mix. The Grand Marshal, who heads and administrates the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, also administrates Novaya IV's government and administration with the Novayan Admiralty acting as the executive and legislative branch of government. Novayans at age 12 and above were given voting rights and can vote for candidates in elections and for options in referendums.
Because Novaya IV is a militarized urban world, the martial theme extends to every aspect of life. Civilians who received military training were considered as military reservists, military bases were set up within or outside cities and in the wilderness, outposts, checkpoints, guard posts and patrol bases were set up and manned within and outside cities, the planetary police forces were augmented by military police personnel and semi-militarized, every single building (military or not) were fortified and armored against attacks, all vehicles were armored, bunkers, strongholds and fortresses were built and manned, and the noble estates were heavily-fortified and secured with rooftop landing pads equipped. Factories will switch production of civilian vehicles to production of military vehicles at a moment's notice, trains have both civilian and military purposes, large caches of old or new military equipment were stashed in underground bunkers and armories, schools have teachers who serve as part-time military personnel, and recruitment posts were in select locations.
Novaya IV is also the home of the Novayan Principalia, who represent the 12% of the populace of Novaya IV and 4.5% out of the 10.5% of the NSC's entire populace. The Novayan Principalia have owned noble estates, mansions and palaces maintained by butlers and maids and guarded by the aristocratic families' own private armies, either drawn from the military and police force or mercenaries, private military contractors, and/or private security contractors. Among those noble estates were the Norsoutha-Tomoshima Estate, home of the Norsoutha-Tomoshima politico-military dynasty which ruled the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth. The Norsoutha-Tomoshima Estate is guarded and maintained by the Norsoutha-Tomoshima Families' Black Guard.
The society of Novaya IV is also known for being the most formal in terms of addresses, attires, et cetera. Any Novayan talking to another Novayan, be it man or woman, is referred to as "sir," "ma'am," "lady," "gentlemen," and "boss." Novayans wear the following attires depending on what work they were involved:
*Commercial districts: Aprons and overalls.
*Industrial sectors: Helmets, heat-proof gloves, jackets (can also be bulletproof) and boots,
*Business sectors: Black or dark gray business suits with aiguillettes.
*Security guards: White shirt, black pants, and body armor.
*Police force: Blue uniforms and camouflaged BDUs.
*Public schools: BDUs or service uniforms; student uniforms with aiguillettes.
*Hospitals: White labcoats over regular attires, white CBRN jumpsuits with gas masks, respirators, goggles and/or face shields.

===Politico-military involvement in Novayan society===

Schools, both private and public, have included political debates on issues within and without and have a few soldiers from the Novayan Army providing security. Security detachments from the Novayan Army were posted in "vulnerable" locations such as churches, shrines, cathedrals, marketplaces, and malls.
