Federated Briserian States

Planet Demetrius (TCAG)

Planet Bethel (Lazarian Republic)

The Federated Briserian States is a federation of most of the independent states that survived during the Great War of 8021. It is an unlikely union of many former enemies, such as the Briserian Federation, the Commonwealth, which formed the UGF, and the NGBF, the Briserian Republic Revolutionary Council, the Free Zones Alliances, the Three Colonies, the Empyrean Republic, the Extreme South Quadrant Republic, the Confederation of Independent Worlds, The Line, the Commandery, IDS, EHPS, and uniquely, the Lazarus Plan.

The capital of the FBS is de jure Earth, more precisely Altair, the historical capital, but due to the Siege of Earth and extreme civilian unrest and insurgencies, Earth has fell into quasi total anarchy. The de facto capital is Hamhram, previously the capital of the Commonwealth.

With extreme political discord due to the states' past and policies between them, the Federated States are extremely unstable, and can collapse at any time, but the Federation is extremely supported by its extensive network of intelligence agents, IDS and MSAI, which protects the Federation from collapsing.

The Federated Briserian States occupies the whole Western part of the Known Worlds, and spans 1250 ly diagonally.

After the ratification of the indefinite truce between the Empire and the Federation, Earth gained a special status. 25% of Earth will belong to the Empire, and the remaining 75% will belong to the Federation.

## Politics and government

The Federated States is a federation with a large numbers of states, and a few governments-in-exile. Most of theses states were enemies, and some were actively fighting a war in between, before joining the Federation. The Federation does not have a flag.

There is no singular head of state, but rather a governing council made of the states' leaders. The colonies is traditionally headed by a Governor, which answers directly to the Council of Governors, which in turn, answers directly to the leading council. The Federation is not a democracy, no elections except those of the Governors, are in effect. The General Staff is composed of the Federation's members' heads of state.

The members nations maintains their various governmental agencies, including their intelligence agencies.

Internal clashes, both political and armed are common throughout the Federation, especially between the CMWR and the TCAG.

Due to the Federation's stability, and the liberty that the members' enjoy, it is more of a confederation, or just a military alliance, rather than a true Federation.

The Federation is actively (as of Q2 8023) engaging in a war against the Holy Briserian Empire and the Stratocracy.

## Way of Sadness

During the Siege of Earth, the FBS repurposed civilian vessels for a colonization mission. Multiple fleets, under the commandment of the Cmdr. [placeholder], who rose to Marshall of the Federation (the fastest promotion ever recorded in history). The result is the Outer States, a puppet state, and de facto, part of the Federation.
