Autumnian Parliament

The **Autumnian Parliament** was the centralized planetary government of the planet Autumnia, the homeworld of the Autumnians. The parliamentary republic oversaw the entirety of the Autumnia as well as its neighbors in the Autumnian System, including the moon of Karpos and the ice giant of Nubess.

## History

### Origins

In 1040 ASA, the Autumn Wars ravaged Autumnia as many warring clans clashed with one another primarily over resources and territories. Many of the planet's clans by now had either died off or combined with other clans to become bigger and stronger. These battles between the clans continued for over two decades, until 1063 ASA when the wars finally ended, having lasted a total of twenty-three years with much blood was shed. It was these events that acted as a catalyst for Autumnian pacifism.

After the Autumn Wars, a miraculous peace treaty was signed between the different clans of Autumnia. The Autumnians were exhausted from fighting and wanted to put an end to all conflict on the planet, which resulted in the unification of the planet's clans and their transition into becoming the Autumnian Parliament. This marked the beginning of an era of eternal peace between the citizens of Autumnia. Not too long after, the Autumnians made themselves known to the rest of the galaxy and joined the Galactic Embassy, representing themselves in the United Cassiopeian Republic.

## Organization

The Autumnian Parliament was a parliamentary republic that consisted of a number of representatives elected by the people to form the legislative body known as the parliament. At the head of the Autumnian Parliament were two individuals: the **Sentinel** of Autumnia as the ceremonial head of state and the elected **Prime Minister** of Autumnia as the true head of government.

Within the government existed several different ministries that oversaw various sectors of the Autumnian Parliament. Known Autumnian ministries were:

* The **Ministry of the Treasury**, which oversaw all things finance, including the national treasury, the printing of currency, and tax collection
* The **Ministry of Culture**, which oversaw the cultural integrity of the nation as well as the conservation of the arts and traditions of the people
* The **Ministry of Education**, which oversaw centralized policies and regulations regarding the nation's educational system, as well as ensuring the administrated quality of Autumnian education
* The **Ministry of Justice**, which oversaw the justice and legal systems and its courts of law, as well as the drafting of government bills and the making of prosecution decisions

Other worlds within the Autumnian System and under the control of the Autumnian Parliament were referred to as jurisdictions. The Nubessi Jurisdiction was one such local planetary government under the sovereignty of the Autumnian Parliament. At the head of these jurisdictions were elected governors.

As the Autumnians were pacifists for most of their modern history, the Autumnian Parliament lacked an official military body as well as a global police force. Instead, local militias scattered around the Autumnian homeworld served as the only true militaristic forces within Autumnian territory, composed of members of the community themselves.

## Society and Culture

After the global unification of Autumnia, the government's capital, the people within the Autumnian Parliament adapted a pacifistic attitude that kept them out of large-scale conflicts for thousands of years. Because of this, the Autumnian System saw little to no strife, allowing its people to live freely and peacefully.

## Astrography

The Autumnian Parliament's territory stretched over its immediate planetary system, which included the three planetary orbits of Autumnia, Phino Poro, and Nubess, as well as their individual moons. Miraculously throughout its millennia-long history, there were no major movements for secession or rebellion throughout all Autumnian territories.
