### Type of government

The **United Peoples of Carbbonia** (UPC), also known colloquially as **Liquid Carbon**, is an off-compass nation based mainly in Precious Metal Continent. The UPC is controlled entirely by the Liquid Carbons, aliens, originally from the planet Coralzin.

### Contact with the Signallers [NOT CANON]

On M3-25 750 ASB, a radio station in Euphor received a mysterious signal from a source outside of the World of Soil. After deciphering the recording, Davar Tiban, the radio operator who discovered the signal, contacted the 3rd General of the 8th Dynasty. The 3rd General consulted the 2nd General, and so on until the High Monarch, Batian Feevan IV, was informed of the signal.

Over time, many more signals kept coming from the same source. From these, Davar Tiban, working with the 8th Dynasty, was able to decipher the language of the Signallers, and found that their signals were coming from a worm-hole in the sky above Valean.

In response to the Signallers, Batian Feevan IV ordered the construction of a response to the message, and organised the Signal Tracking Conclave to construct this response. Fearing that the Signallers were more intelligent civilisation than the UPC, the Conclave decided that the response should be an unmanageable amount of data to waste their time. However, the data had to seem significant or else the Signallers would disregard it as nonsense. Hence, the Conclave filled several large magnetic hard-drives with random texts, usually historical works from various countries in the World of Soil. To make the data seem important, they enclosed the hard drives in a plastic box, then put the plastic box in an ornate copper box with silver emblems on the sides. To ensure that the hard-drives in the plastic box would survive, they surrounded it with soil within the copper box. They ensured that one side of the box was largely clay and the other side was largely sand, thus demonstrating to the Signallers that they were an intelligent civilisation that could distinguish between various types of soil. They then surrounded the copper box in Carbbonian Jelly to protect it in the event of a crash on the Signaller's planet. Hence, they sent the box through the worm-hole above Valean.

## Politics

The Internal Workings of the UPC are largely unknown, due to the recent isolationist nature of the UPC mixed with their secretive policies. However, some is known about the structure of the UPC government:

### Government

The Government of the UPC is a Constitutional Monarchy of 13 distinct Dynasties that each refer to a part of the country the Dynasty has power over. The Dynasties are as follows:

1st - Military

2nd - Research and Development/Technology

3rd - Trade and Industry

4th - Intelligence and Domestic Security

5th - Population Control And Regulation

6th - Construction

7th - Education

8th - Record Keepers, Translators, Accountants

9th - Diplomacy

10th - Agriculture

11th - Justice

12th - Control

13th - Exploration

Within each of these 13 dynasties, the ranking system descends as follows: #th monarch, 1st general of #th dynasty, 2nd general of #th dynasty, 3rd general of #th dynasty, and so on. As the number of the general gets higher, the less important they are. The only exception to this rule is the 12th Dynasty, which only has the High Monarch and the Nameless Guards within it's ranks. The Monarch of each dynasty has near complete authority over that domain, answering only to the High Monarch.
