Doctrine of Borealis

# **The Doctrine of Borealis**

On the day of March 16th 2030

We pledge to establish a  fair and balanced trade-oriented economy that welcomes all, regardless of wealth or status, promoting the endorsement of prosperity and equity. Four representatives stand as guardians of the people’s rights and the holistic interests of Borealis, vowing to amplify the voices of its citizens. These custodians include President Roman Xavier Castillo, Vice President Himiki Pedro Sosa-Nataka, Treasurer Micah Truett Hobbs, and Secretary of Defence Vishal Sai Pentela. Leadership selection will follow an electoral process structured to the Electoral College but organized by districts, ensuring fair representation for all.

**Electoral College -**

The proposed electoral college design emulates the US government's structure but with a  shift to district-based representation. In this system, each district holds a single vote, ensuring fairness by organizing districts based on population size. This means that every person carries equal weight in the electoral process, creating a more just system. By aligning representation with the number of people in each district, the aim is to prevent any one area from dominating, making sure everyone's voice matters equally. Ultimately, this approach seeks to create a fair and inclusive electoral system where every citizen's vote counts, promoting equality and fairness without letting any district overpower others.

**Legitimizing of Authority -**

Borealis will legitimize authority through means of military, monumental architecture, and immense wealth. Our military is powerful through our big alliances and ability to mass produce vehicles and weapons. We also have specially trained soldiers that follow a process to tests of strength and intelligence. We have immense wealth and stability to create the basis of our trade religion (Monitcronism). We also have monumental architecture like the World Trade Center, Parliament, Court, Mint, etc. We pride ourselves in building things up monumentally through the immense wealth and resources.

**Monumental Architecture -**

We have many pieces of monumental architecture Like our Parliament, Launch Site, and the CITP ( Trade Alliance) World Trade Center and Mint. Monumental architecture legitimizes the authority of Borealis for a few key reasons. Firstly, the massive investment of money shows Borealis's financial strength in finished goods, raw materials, and trade. These grand buildings symbolize the heart of power, showcasing the might and stability of Borealis. They also serve as a statement to other nations, displaying dominance and influence through their sheer magnificence. Ultimately, these structures stand as a tangible representation of power, leaving an enduring mark on history that emphasizes control and legacy.

**Trade -**

**CITP Alliance -**

In the expansive Coalition of Interplanetary Trade and Prosperity (CITP), a diverse range of planets collaborate, each contributing unique assets and expertise. The alliance strives for mutual growth and interstellar progress. Our mission is to ensure a safe and interconnected transfer of knowledge and trade through the exchange of vital resources and services through different member states.

The icy tundra of Borealis assumes a pivotal role in this coalition. Our democratic governance structure facilitates a significant array of trade resources, encompassing alcohol, potatoes, concrete, and vital minerals such as uranium and copper. Borealis is crucial in manufacturing finished goods using resources inside and outside of the, being able to provide finished goods throughout the coalition. Moreover, Borealis boasts expertise in carbon fiber production, crucial for crafting advanced vehicles essential for interplanetary commerce. Serving as the central hub for trade among member planets through the CITP Trade Center (CTC) and Manufacturing District (CMDC), Borealis stands as a vital cog in the alliance's economic machinery.

Beyond its resource abundance, Borealis serves as a hub of technological innovation and defense strategy. Collaborating with Wetlands, the shared Engineering Center (EC) propels pioneering technological advancements. Additionally, within the Military Development and Production Center (MDPC), Borealis offers advisory insights and technological prowess, boasting the coalition's defensive capabilities. As a hub of innovation and strategic collaboration, Borealis plays a pivotal role in the CITP's mission of mutual prosperity and technological advancement among the member planets.

**New Oceania -**

Borealis has a partnership with New Oceania, being outside the Coalition of Interplanetary Trade and Prosperity (CITP). This proposed alliance aims to unofficially extend CITP's technological advancements and innovative ideas to New Oceania. In return, Borealis seeks to secure essential resources pivotal for its development, including significant quantities of wood, metals crucial for construction, and sought-after alligators that could significantly enhance its burgeoning tourism sector. However, the significance of this collaboration extends beyond resource exchange; it represents a crucial dependency for New Oceania on Borealis's skilled labor force. Borealis stands as a crucial partner, providing the specialized workforce that New Oceania urgently requires to meet its production and developmental needs. This intricate partnership highlights the mutual reliance between the planets, showcasing Borealis's strategic importance in providing essential human resources beyond the boundaries of the CITP. Due to the lack of sources which will give us the benefit of more diplomatic power and a doubled intake of the imports traded from New Oceania.

**Samsara IV -**

Borealis and Samsara IV have a strategic trade pact focusing on the exchange of critical resources and finished goods. Borealis, which was needed by Samsara IV for its salt and potato production, has established a trade agreement with Samsara IV, trading these commodities in return for processed food items, notably including popular choices such as hot dogs. Additionally, Samsara IV expresses a significant interest in accessing Borealis's cobalt reserves. Despite operating outside the Coalition of Interplanetary Trade and Prosperity (CITP), Samsara IV maintains a diplomatic relationship with Borealis. However, as a non-CITP member, Samsara IV’s access is limited, and confined to specific facilities such as the trade center, spaceports, and planetary amenities without full CITP privileges.

Borealis holds a prime position as a prolific producer and exporter of a diverse range of crucial materials but we do not have many cash crops due to the rough and harsh terrain of the tundra. The planet's prized export, potatoes, serves as a versatile and high-quality dietary staple across multiple planets, catering to varied culinary needs. Moreover, Borealis contributes significantly to the construction and industrial sectors by supplying an array of materials, including stone, gravel, copper, uranium-235, and carbon fiber. The latter, renowned for its utility in vehicle manufacturing due to its durability and lightweight properties, stands out among Borealis's exports. These essential materials play a pivotal role in advancing infrastructure and technology across celestial bodies, solidifying Borealis as a key supplier in interplanetary development.

Luxury goods from Borealis boast a distinctive allure, featuring specialties unique to the planet's terrain. Caribou products, revered for their distinctiveness and quality, constitute part of Borealis's luxury exports, catering to niche markets seeking unique commodities. Additionally, Borealis offers an invaluable supply of fresh water, drawn from its reservoirs of ice and freshwater, essential for sustaining life and fostering trade relations among neighboring planets. Furthermore, the planet's access to precious gems presents a sought-after niche market, attracting attention for their exquisite and rare qualities, making them highly prized commodities in interstellar trade.

Moreover, Borealis doesn't just excel in luxury goods; it plays a vital role in supplying crucial necessities and specialized materials, particularly sourced from tundras. Its production of concrete, a fundamental construction material, meets the growing demands of various construction projects spanning galaxies. Additionally, Borealis offers outsourced labor equipped with specialized skills and expertise, uniquely tailored to meet the demands of interplanetary industries.

**Citizens -**

We will use religion, free laws, and tolerance for people of different backgrounds to keep them happy.

A majority of our state, guided by Monitcronism ( our religion based on trading ), strongly believes in the transformative power of fair trade, fostering equality, and contentment among all. We prioritize religious and racial tolerance, respecting diverse beliefs and backgrounds, and ensuring everyone feels valued and respected. Upholding Amendment rights, particularly the freedom of speech, we enable individuals to express themselves without fear or discrimination.

Our commitment lies in granting everyone an equal opportunity to succeed, irrespective of their identity. We tirelessly advocate for fairness in trade and opportunities, valuing the diverse contributions of each individual. Our laws safeguard freedom while preventing harm or unjust treatment.

We envision a society where prosperity is accessible to all through equitable trade and opportunities. Our goal is to create a community where differences are celebrated, gaining mutual respect and collaboration among individuals of varied backgrounds. Through our principles of fairness, religious and racial tolerance, and safeguarding Amendment rights, we strive to build a society where everyone thrives and contributes positively to the collective well-being.

**Organization of Borealis -**

In a rigid social structure like feudalism or caste, people are born into specific classes and can't move between them easily. There are strict rules about who gets power, land, or jobs based on their family background. On the other hand, in an egalitarian society, everyone is considered equal, and there aren't strong class distinctions. Aristocracy means a small group of rich and powerful people rule, often by inheritance. Upward mobility means people can move between social classes based on their efforts or abilities. The main differences lie in how fixed or flexible the social classes are, whether there are clear boundaries between them, and how much opportunity people have to change their social status. While rigid structures like feudalism limit movement, egalitarian societies aim for equality, and aristocracy often concentrates power among a few, upward mobility allows more flexibility for individuals to change their social position based on their achievements.

Having an upward mobility social structure can be a good fit. This structure is divided into three classes: The Higher Class includes soldiers, those having a household income of $180,000, government officials, executives, and social/religious leaders. The Lower Class comprises prisoners or those earning less than $50,000 in household income. Lastly, the Middle Class involves household incomes between $50,000 and $180,000, excluding soldiers and higher-ranking government employees. These classes mainly affect tax and demographic brackets rather than how people are treated, offering a chance for individuals to improve their social status based on their efforts and abilities.

**Military Expansion -**

Borealis does have a dedicated team of military professionals. They're trained to protect our colony and our allies, always ready to defend in case of any threats. These soldiers fight to keep us safe and secure, ensuring we're prepared to face threats.

Borealis isn't focused on expansion through military means. We believe in using our military primarily for defense, protecting ourselves, and supporting allied nations if they're in trouble. Our main focus lies in trade and cooperation. We've got plenty of space, so there's no urgent need for us to expand aggressively. Instead, we invest our energy in building relationships, trading goods, and contributing positively to our allies' well-being while ensuring our colony remains secure.
