Farachian Federation

Flag of the Farachian Federation

## Backround

The most prominent nation in the Galaxy, technologically, militarily, scientifically and territorial wise, the Farachian Federation is a federation based around the planet of Farachia in the Helius System. The Federation controls the most space in the galaxy, including over 570 colonized worlds.

## History

### Farachian Commonwealth

The Federation originally began as the Farachian Commonwealth. Formed in 2010 PBC, the Commonwealth was born out of the Nations Alliance, a peacekeeping organization formed with all the former Farachian nation states. Though the commonwealth had a Federal Government, the Nations were mostly still autonomous. Colonies held by Bruterland, Revonia and the Holden Union were still under the control of their respective governments. Though ineffective in unifying the planet, the Commonwealth would pave the way for the Federation.

### Treaty of Define

On December 10th, 2020 PBC, delegates from Farachia's 10 nations arrived in the Revonian capital city of Define. They discussed and debated for 3 days, and finally came to a conclusion on December 13th. The Treaty of Define was ratified, finally uniting the planet once and for all. Every former nation was dissolved and replaced by four commissariats, the Bruterich, Cornevian, and North and South Holden province. Badias City was named the capital of the Federation. The first ever Federal Election was held in 2022, and Amanda Jerican was elected the first Chancellor of Farachia.

### Colonial Crisis

After the Treaty of Define, the new government began taking control of colonies that had once been ruled by one of Farachia's nation states. Many colonies, mostly Holdenese colonies, tried to resist the new government and still pledged allegiance to their former governments. Multiple colonies began to openly resist the Federation's power over them. The core colony of New Holden was a large field for this, as they continued considered themselves Holdenese and not Farachian. Fighting would break out across the planet. Farachian forces had the upper hand at first, but they began to lose at the hands of the New Holden Militia. Eventually, by 2031, fighting had subsided, as a single Farachian identity arose. By 2045 the crisis had ended.

### New Provinces

In 2051, protests in the colonies of Achilles, Tominia, Haldius and Vixia erupted. These people wanted representation in the Parliament, seeing as they were very large colonies with billions of Inhabitants. In response to this, the Government would grant these colonies Provincial status. The Provincial policy was also implemented, stating that when a colony reaches a certain set of requirements, including having over 1.5 billion citizens, they can become a province. In 2090 the Bruterich, Cornevian, and North and South Holden province were officially dissolved and replaced by the Farachian Province, the single province for the planet.

## Structure

Farachia's government is split into three primary branches - the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. When a colony meets a certain set of requirements, including having at least 1.5 billion inhabitants, they can apply to become a province where they have representation in the Parliament.

The legislative branch consists of elected Members of Parliament (MPs) from across the Federation. The General Assembly serves is the unicameral body of the legislature. Each Province has a number of MPs proportional to its population. Elections for MPs occur once every four years. The legislative branch is responsible for writing and modifying laws, confirming Chancellery and Premierial appointments and overseeing the executive branch, levying and collecting taxes, and generally making high-level decisions that affect the entire Federation.

The executive branch is made up of the Federation's Chancellor and Deputy Chancellor, the Premier and Deputy Premier, their personal aides and staff, their cabinets, the federal executive departments and all of the various intelligence agencies which report to the Chancellor. The Chancellor is elected by the Parliament, and is usually the leader of the main governing party. As the Federation uses a semi-presidential system (semi-chancellery as it is known in Farachia), the Chancellor is elected by the people by popular vote. They serve as the head of state and share the role of head of government with the Premier, who is elected by the General Assembly. Usually the Premier is the leader of the largest party in the General Assembly, and their party forms the government, while all opposing parties form the opposition. The executive branch is responsible for the day-to-day administration and enforcement of the law, for making tie-breaker votes in order to break stalemates in the Parliament, for vetoing legislation that passes the Parliament by a narrow margin, and for overseeing the military and making decisions related to national security.

The judicial branch is the branch of government which is in charge of interpreting and applying federal laws. The Federation's territories each constitute a Judicial District, and each district is headed by a District Judge. It has a Chamber of Judges, an organized voting panel similar to Parliament which includes all District Judges across the Federation. The Chamber of Judges adjudicates "cases and controversies"—matters pertaining to the federal government, disputes between provinces, interpretation of the Articles of Federation, and, in general, can declare legislation or executive action made at any level of the government as unconstitutional, nullifying the law and creating precedent for future law and decisions.

## Society

Farachian Society and culture can be compared to the society of 60-70's America, just much, much more progressive. In fact, things that might be considered "Progressive" today are completely normal and have been for thousands of years. Racism, sexism, homophobia and discrimination in general are almost completely non-existent. Most people are just very liberal.

Many people listen to music reminiscent 70's American rock and 80's post punk music. Button up shirts, polos, sweater vests and suits are very common. Pyramid, Jump Ball, and Surfing are very popular sports.

Religion in the Federation is extremely rare, less than 1% of the population actually practice any religions. The majority of people are either Atheist or Agnostic

The Articles of Federation prohibit Farachia from adopting any adopting an official language or religion. There are many different languages in the Federation, the largest being Bruterich, Revonian and Haliskian. The vast majority of people are able to speak these three languages fluently, so there isn’t a language barrier.

The internet and social media are large things in the Federation, sites like Vose and Axantra are quite large.

Companies still operate independently, but are still regulated by the Federal Government. The upper class and the rich are more heavily taxed than the middle class, and the wage gap is thin. In fact, the poverty rate and homelessness rate is almost zero. There is government provided health care and education, including colleges and such. Farachia has an extremely capable police force and crime is very low.

## Military

The Farachian military is thought to be the greatest in the known Galaxy. The Farachian military is broken into three branches, the Federal Army, the Federal Navy, and the Federal Marine Corps. Each of these branches include numerous component services, or are supplemented by other independent services. Additionally, many reserve, support or ceremonial units exist at both the Federal and Commissariat level.

Though the military is a volunteer force, military service is very popular among citizens as it pays very well and it gives people the chance to see the galaxy and the colonies.

The Army and Marine Corps make up the largest branches of the military, being composed of over 4.2 Billion active troops and around 8 Billion in reserves, making it the largest military force in the Galaxy. The FMC's Air Corps operate a small number of starfighters, though most are in service with the Starfighter Corps under the navy. They also operate thousands of dropships and transports, such as the TC-100 Mallard and the M-30c Dove dropships, and the Aurora class of troop transports. Special branches of the Army include the Chancellor's Guards, which patrol the Farachian Capital Building and elite commando units.

The navy, much like the Army, is thought to be one of, if not the greatest star navy in the galaxy. It operates thousands of vessels, and has almost one billion active people. The navy is split into 10 fleets, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th fleets. These fleets are broken down once again into multiple smaller fleets, such as the 5th fleet's infamous "Open Circle Fleet". It also includes numerous regional fleets, such as the Farachian Home Fleet of around 3 thousand vessels that guard Farachia. Some branches of the navy include the Federal Starfighter Corps, which operates millions of starfighters aboard Farachian capital ships and can be compared to a nation's Air Force. Another Branch is the Federal Fleet Regiments, which consisted of Fleet Troopers who, along side Marines, served as guards, military police and soldiers onboard many capital ships.
