The M.O.D.s

**The Ministers of Democracy**, commonly abbreviated instead as **The M.O.D.s** or **The Mods**, were a group of citizens from The USSR picked out by Mauve during her reign in order to broaden wider society’s input on political decisions without holding a country-wide democratic vote for each motion. Anybody could apply for a position as M.O.D. and Mauve would enlist anybody whose unique viewpoint she believed may be useful.

## History

The M.O.D.s initiative was first introduced early into Mauve’s reign, after a mysterious incident referred to by some as Scarabgate, the event which is believed to be linked to Colin Zvezda’s mysterious absence. Mauve saw there was a demand for public involvement in political decisions, as well as a need for greater supervision over societal stability, leading to the creation of the M.O.D. team. The M.O.D. was first formed by Mauve with some of her friends - Lapira, Nico, Anna and Blaine - but had open applications for all. Akira and Spin were accepted only shortly after, for their experience in similar positions of high power.

Crove began his life in The USSR as a military commander, before being accepted into the M.O.D. team, which he subsequently retired from to help in planning for the Dawn Raid on The Sublands. It is due to Cyan’s technological capabilities she proved in this war that he was accepted into the M.O.D. initiative, too. Gwent, a reclusive hermit from the borders of The USSR, also had their application approved around this time to expand the radius of their members’ origins beyond Cabintown. Adri and Ghost both moved to The USSR not long after Cyan, and were both enlisted to get the unique new perspectives of immigrants for tackling new immigration policies.

Tri is unique in her membership, as she was brought onto the team as a form of community service, rather than applying and being accepted, after they were left behind by their clan during the Pirate Raids. She specialised in international communication and criminality and deviance.

The M.O.D. team was replaced by Noëlle’s Tyranny Enforcers upon her election as president, and she ordered all previous government officials to be exiled. The M.O.D. team lived on through The Vremya Revolution, lead by Kai, containing most of the same members, as well as Moldy. Noëlle’s Tyranny Enforcers served practically the same function as the M.O.D.s, only Noëlle’s solution to societal instability was to terminate those they saw as deviant. They were lead by Janju and consisted mostly of members from The Bounty Hunters’ Ring.

The Vremya Revolution persisted until The USSR was completely rebuilt, at which point almost every member left to pursue their own lives individually. Kai, Mauve and Anna were the only ones still clinging onto each other, forming the Mod Political Party. They gained a total of 0 votes in The Election of 2022, which effectively killed their movement, and they all finally disbanded.
