## Informations

### **Roles**

**The Au Pair Coordinator** is the second highest authority in the entire Solis Custodianship. It is the equivalent of the President or Monarch in nations with democratic systems or monarchies.
The tasks of an Au Pair Coordinator include managing the entire Solis Custodianship, establishing diplomatic relations on the international stage, supervising Custodians, and generally overseeing the welfare of the nation, its denizens and members.

**Custodians** are the people who handle important tasks at the nationwide level. They are the ones who work the hardest to ensure the growth and prosperity of the Solis Custodianship.
It is their job to take care of the denizens and resources of the Custodianship. They work on farms, in mines, and in factories. Some of them are architects, builders, engineers or soldiers, some also manage towns.

**Denizens** are the largest group of people in Solis Custodianship. They are those who have been granted citizenship status and live in one of the towns under the care of the Custodianship. While this is a common role, Denizens are not at all expendable or overlooked. Denizens are cared for by the Custodians, allowing Denizens to live a comfortable and stable life, without undue hindrance in following their own goals.

Solis Custodianship **Members** are individuals who have attained citizenship status; however, they do not live in a town under the care of the Custodianship. In principle, they are no different from Denizens, except that they live in other towns or in the wilderness. Because of this, they are mostly on their own, not being under the direct protection of the Custodians. Their lives may be harder, but they are just as beloved by the Solis Custodianship.

On the international scene, all individuals who are part of Solis Custodianship are often referred to simply as Members.

### **Diplomacy**

The Custodianship's diplomacy boils down to omnipresent neutrality towards other nations, and care for its own members.

Despite its diplomatic approach, Solis Custodianship is not afraid of neither war nor peace. The only political goal of the Custodianship is to grow and guarantee the people a comfortable life, safety, and prosperity.

The Custodianship is very happy to have friendly relations with other nations and towns as long as they respect the Custodianship as a whole. There is also no denying the desire to create a single, great, cosmopolitan nation on Solis, through prosperous unification.

### **Technology**

The Solis Custodianship aims to create highly advanced technology that would make life easier for everyone on Solis, as well as not polluting or destroying the world around everyone.

The Custodianship values more automatic solutions for obtaining both resources and food, eagerly building semi-automated farms, factories run by lower consciousness individuals, and rapid, developed transportation.

Unfortunately, by the time the original founders of the Solis Custodianship had found themselves on Solis, much of the commonly known technology was gone, forcing its present members to once again advance in technology.

### **Architecture**

Custodianship's architecture aims to focus on futurism and environmentalism. Wasting land or polluting the environment is not an option, as all these factors affect the comfort of living of the people, as well as the health of the world itself.

Futuristic buildings are meant to be, as well as high-rise, developed farms that guarantee the highest possible yields while using as little land as possible.

In Cultural Sectors, however, structures intended to provide entertainment for denizens, members, and outsiders, such as castles, hotels, and beaches, are allowed if they do not pose a threat to the planet and nation, or spoil the landscape.

In addition to this, Oriental architecture also has its place in Custodianship's architecture, which is the second most common architecture there.

### **Economy**

The economy in Solis Custodianship is characterized by flexibility, and a noticeable isolationism from other nations. For the most part, the entire nation is financially upkept by leader and the Custodians.

The system in which the nation operates is such that residential taxes are abolished, both in the nation and the towns within it. Both are upkept through voluntary financial contributions made by Denizens and Members who, for the sake of the community, deposit a part of their wealth into the Nation's or Town's treasury.

All Solis Custodianship members are allowed to run their own stores, however only leader and Custodians are expected to contribute from time to time.

Part of the profits of the towns affiliated with the Custodianship are also taxed plots available for purchase by outsiders.

In the event of an economic emergency such as possible bankruptcy or economical depression, it is allowed to temporarily impose taxation on all members until the crisis is resolved.

### **Military**

The Solis Custodianship military is divided into two forces, which are: Self-Defense Forces (SDF), and Foreign Operations Forces (FOF).

Both have their own roles and responsibilities to fulfill, as well as both must adhere to the Military Code, which applies to the entire Custodianship military. It includes, but is not limited to: hierarchy, sections, uniforms, Rules of Conduct, and tactics of war.

**Self-Defense Forces (SDF)**
The mission of the Self-Defense Forces is to maintain order in the Solis Custodianship, ergo they are the main police force of the nation.
In addition, their task is to defend the land, property and overall denizens/members of the Custodianship from attacks by hostile forces.
Self-Defense Forces are generally not deployed to battlefields outside of Solis Custodianship, usually being completely stationary.

**Foreign Operations Forces (FOF)**
Foreign Operations Forces are tasked with launching attacks on enemy territories and troops. FOF soldiers fight outside the Custodianship borders, attacking towns and hostile nations.
The Foreign Operations Force is also tasked with maintaining stability in the regions they are deployed to, as well as guarding, and stationing at Outposts.
If required, the FOF can also serve as security for high-priority meetings.

### **Religion**

The official religion in Solis Custodianship is the Church of the Broken God. It stands for the superiority of machines, and the weakness of natural flesh and blood. The Church believes in Mekhane, the central figure of their faith "Mekhanism".

At one time, members of this religion often voluntarily underwent mechanization of their bodies, a procedure also known as "Standardization", in an effort to make themselves better in the eyes of God. They believed that all natural, unmodified life was inherently evil or "broken".

However, after the fall of the ancient traditions, the Church of the Broken God was split into many parts, and many of them were influenced by other beliefs. Forced coercion of people to believe in Mekhanism was also abolished as it violated their liberal rights, and destroyed what the Custodianship believes in most - advancement.

The founders of Solis Custodianship felt that they mustn't go back to ancient traditions, as simply returning to them would defile the good name of their God, Mekhane, and the entire history of the religion. It was decided that the members of the Custodianship would also adhere to Mekhanism if they willed to, but they ought to focus on worshiping their God rather than trying to impress It.
