Mass Alliance flag

## Overview

The Mass Alliance is a combined empire of 6 former nations the Star Control Federation, the Tribion Union, the Thental Empire, the Dovona Expans, the Monoga Consortium and the Talon Republic. They formed a democratic empire that holds the strongest navy and one of the most powerful economy in all of the Athenian sector.

## History

Following the discovery of the Shield by the Star Control Federation it activated a homing beacon to the many jump-points in the local area causing them all to have their first jump to be back to the Shield. This lead to several groups coming into contact very quickly and soon rivalries were started. The Star Control Federation attempted to maintain control over the Shield during this time however was met with large opposition from the other nations that saw it as either a strategic position, technological wonder needing to be studied or a religious icon.

Over the next 80 years these groups would have minor conflicts but never all out wars. However as more groups discovered how to use jump-points the number of outside threats grew larger the six nations decided to ban together and combine their resources and strengths to become a super power. In the year 86 DoS (Discovery of Shield) the six nations signed the treaty of the Shield to become the Mass Alliance.

## Culture

The Mass Alliance, though considered multi-cultural, often has a prevailing culture glorifying civil service as a must for citizens to do civil service in some capacity. This comes mostly from the Thental who's former empire had a mandatory service for all citizens, but the attitude has been adopted by many of the local governments to boost their ranks and involvement in the government and its processes. Well it doesn't always lead to military service those that do most tend to serve in the Mass Alliance Provincial Security rather then the Mass Alliance Grand Navy due to length of mandatory service. But most species tend to stay within the bounds of their former nations cultures. Such as the Dovana avoiding conflicts and Elion seeking to find conflicts.

## Government

The Mass Alliance is a democratic republic that uses a civilian government of control both the civilian section as well as the military branches. The Mass Alliance Government of State and Office is the civilian government of elected officials who maintain the democratic process that runs the day to day and long term operations of the Mass Alliance. Well the various sub committees and local governing bodies are vital to the Mass Alliance; the supreme council is the highest position of government.

### The grand council

The Council is made up of the representatives of the 37 systems with Jump-points in them, it's been expended to a total of 53 seats on the supreme council to represent other colonized systems. The supreme council is led by a prime minister elected from one of several parties, the prime minister themselves do not sit on one of the 53 seats (one for ever province in the Mass Alliance. Every seat member is elected from their represented system, each representative is part of a party whichever party has the most seats in the election has their group leader as the prime minister. However unless they have 50% + 1 they will need to make deals with other parties to pass their laws.

### The lesser council

While the Grand Council is the highest level of executive branch the lesser council is an important aspect of law making. The lesser council is made of 520 seats set based on population density; an estimated 1,040,440,000 people represented per seat. This larger seat is responsible for the voting on laws set forth by the Grand Council. While this slows down laws being passed it does give a stronger representation by all peoples in the Mass Alliance. Members of the lesser council are elected during the federal election on a second ballot given at the same time.

### Elections

Elections are not set to take place at mandatory times nor are term limits set. This is to avoid costly election seasons that draw out farther and farther as parties attempt to get an early foothold in the polls. Instead elections come from the decision of the grand council. A new election can occur from: grand council decision (must be voted on), a vote of no confidence, a vote of no confidence after a bill fails to pass by majority of the grand council vote, a majority government holding power for 12 years, death of the prime minister (excluding death during times of war), retirement of the prime minister or violation of the rights and freedoms of the Mass Alliance charter of rights and laws.

## Provinces

The Mass Alliance is split into 53 provinces, originally created by the former nations regional influence. For instance Empress system largely mirrors the region it held influence over before the Thental Empire joined the Mass Alliance.
