Soh Macrojury

## Overview

Soh Macro-Jury, commonly referred to as Sohm, is a uniplanetary government located upon Mah, a damp planet comparable to human origin point Earth. It generally describes itself as a decentralized utilitarian society, citing their origins as their mantra that the ends justify the means. A popularly elected council, sometimes referred to as the Jury, legislates according to annual popular vote. A special election to remove a member may also be called at any time through popular support as long as a replacement is presented and approved by the masses. The Jury resides in Hohk, a minor town facing the South Sea.

## History

### Rise of Domestic Violence

Sohm is a successor state to the former reigning global power, Peace State. In 2728, armed civilian militias began assassinating the most wealthy individuals on the planet, threatening the Peace government and demanding the equal distribution of wealth across its society. When Peace began to retaliate using brutal force against lower income communities and issuing warrants for organizers' arrests, civilian militias consolidated under the name *War*, citing the name itself as a "direct contradiction to not only the name of Peace but a similar antithetical to what it strives to aspire." In order to demonstrate their dedication to their cause, War began the mass executions of the families and associates of oligarchs, rehousing children to raise them under the banners of a new nation.

### End of Peace

In a panic, Peace Congress approved an emergency bill declaring a genocidal purge of the lower class. Named the *Peace Plan*, this bill would come to realize the deaths of over 1.2 billion humans of lower economic status. When it became clear that pleas for systematic change were of no use, War changed their demands from economic equality to the complete annihilation of Peace State, including every member of its cabinets. In 2730 Viu sa Tali, a technological prodigy, lead the cyber attacks against the major cryptocurrency banks used by the wealthiest Peace citizens. Alongside War militias' use of physical destruction, Viu's team was able to completely destroy the means of economic distribution amongst the wealthy, beginning the downfall of the oligarchy's power and status across the planet. With no wealth to protect and their lives to lose to the now prevailing populous, the nations' soldiers turned on their leaders. In 2731 the mass executions of Peace officials, lead by a sector of War named the *Jury*, marked the end of a three century long government of inequity and injustice. Peace had fallen and War prevailed.

After the fallout of war, an entire planet was left up for the taking. The people of Mah, however, had no interest in re-establishing an economy or monetary society; it seemed they were on the same page. In an effort to amplify the voices of concern of Mah's inhabitants, and while War had been dissolved, a general agreement to keep the Jury prevailed. Through a meticulous and difficult decentralized conversation, the people of Mah agreed on a version of the Jury that best served the people. On Trohet Tel VI, (December 18th Gregorian) 2732, the humans of Mah pronounced their newborn society Soh - a land of people who share the same sun.
