This is a physical representation of our parliament. Our parliament consists of 1000 seats, and together the parliament creates bills and votes on said bills. Various political factions within the Parliament exist and you as roleplayers would create bills and vote on them together. We'll be doing these via OOC and their outcome will be detailed in Situation Reports. With Bills you can dictate where you would like to take the empire and what it does next until a new bill is passed that's specifications would change a previously passed bills.
You'll notice on the Character Sheets section that there is a Political Standing section, that's where you would tell us which political faction you would be representing in RP. Of course there is also a Political Party sheet that you'd create to actually create that political party as a whole.
On Presidency, every 10 years a new president will be elected, of which you as players can choose to run as or support a candidate that is currently running. A post will be created after this OP for CURRENT UNCLAIMED CHARACTERS/SPOTS and CURRENT RUNNING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. You can also designate yourself as the Head Representative of your Political Party if there's not one there already (first come first serve). If you do, during presidential elections, you can create an Ad, Interview, etc (of which you will DM to me) detailing your stance on the current election, who your party is voting for, etc. I'll then include said Ad's, Interviews, etc in a new Situation Report in the IC that everyone can see.
The newly elected president has the ability to Veto bills and can call Political, Economic, Scientific and Militaric control during their ruling should a situation calls for it, but as a representative democracy this would lead to a lot of negative views on the president themselves. As such it should only be done in terse and important situations that call for it.
When not called for then the Parliament decides Economic, Scientific and Militaric decisions (unless a bill is passed that passes on that duty to some other group).
A person who is the Head Representative of their Political Party gets 50 of the votes from that party under their control, regular members of that political party get 20 votes each.
Spectators who also wish to vote, have 10 Votes each. These 10 votes are taken from a pool of available votes and once the pool is deplenished for that bill/election then spectators can no longer vote. This pool is cobbled together from the still available votes from political factions.
So for instance if a political faction has 200 votes in total, the head representative takes 50 of those votes for themself, that leaves 150 left, then there are 3 party members in it, taking 60 votes for themselves. That leaves 90 votes left that Spectators can use from that political party. Each spectator can only vote once on each bill/election.
Sheets
Please keep in mind that this is a very fast paced game and that anything can happen, so characters can suddenly die and time passes pretty quickly.
You are not required to join or be part of a political party. If you aren't part of one, feel free to put Independent in the Political Standing and Political Position section.
The list of Available Spots is listed in the post after this one.

Libertarian - Any society that does not embrace true liberty of its members - where an individual can rise to any position with enough hard work - is not only deeply unfair, but ultimately counterproductive.
Militarist - The only true virtues are courage and discipline, and channeled properly they can overcome any obstacle. Therein lies true strength; force withheld, a promise made.
Xenophobe - The stakes could not be higher as we reach into the vast uncharted expanses of the galaxy, for we are gambling with the very survival of our species! Never trust the alien; it's false smile hides an unknowable mind...
Individualist - The core mechanism of expansion is a process of accumulation: one in which our profits reaped from the sale of goods and services can be reinvested into the furthering of our own prosperity. It would be unwise to forget the merits of such a system, especially with the unparalleled new opportunities afforded us by our galactic expansion.
Elitist - Everybody isn't fit for any role in the great scheme of things. Skills, responsibilities, strengths of characters, qualities aren't equality distributed, and while some are better to lead and rule, others are better when lead and ruled over; everyone benefits from this.
Materialist - As we reach for the stars, we must put away childish things; gods, spirits and other phantasms of the brain. Reality is cruel and unforgiving, yet we must steel ourselves and secure the survival of our race through the unflinching pursuit of science and technology.
Industrialist - Rapid and efficient infrastructure development is a fundamental necessity in any civilized society. Special attention must be paid to our workers in order to ensure future economic prosperity. Whatever cost we incur is a small price for the future we assure ourselves.
Authoritarian - A strong, guiding hand is essential to the success of any civilization - the alternative would be anarchy and chaos. It is the duty of the state to steer its citizens towards the paths that are the most productive.
Pacifist - Conflict as a means to an end is a ridiculous concept. It is by nature destructive, destroying what was to be obtained or giving room to grow that which was to be destroyed.
Xenophile - There exists, in all of us, a deep-seated fascination for the unknown. An adventurous spirit that rejects the familiar and glories in the unfamiliar, whatever - or whomever - it may be.
Collectivist - Society works best when none are left behind, and this is best achieved by a societal control of the means of production, and fair redistribution of wealth.
Egalitarian - We should value people regardless of their personal achievements, whether it be patrimonial matters, intellectual superiority, or wealth. Nobody is considered more honorable just because he is more successful, one way or the other.
Spiritualist - There are those who think it behooves us to remember how tiny we are, how pointless our lives are in this vast uncaring universe... What Nonsense! The only truth we can ever know is that of our own existence. The universe - in all its apparent glory - is but a dream we all happen to share.
Ecologist - The true values of a planet lie in its natural resources: its atmosphere, its flora and fauna, and its landscape. Our success so far lies in our ability to preserve and maintain these assets, whilst at the same time benefiting economically and societally from them. These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of any civilization, and we would do well to remember that.

Rites of the Sun
Party Ethics
Spiritualist, Militarist, Authoritarian
Party Beliefs
The Rites of the Sun believes the world is already dead and that humanity is in the afterlife. They think that the conquest of the universe is humanity’s birthright. Among the gifts of their god that they believe to be from him is FTL Travel is a gift from God. They believe that the Red Dwarf is the embodiment of their prophet.
More politically, however, they what a strong government, guided by the moral values of the Rites of the Sun. However, even better would be a government headed by the Church. They believe that a strong military will be needed in the conquest of space, not just the economy or other aspects of society. Among their ideas is that strength is what brought humanity into the afterlife and it should be what they use to gain their prize in it. Moreover, they think that all materialism is detestable. They see only truth in life is that of devotion to God, and that of the State which should only be guided by the principles of the Prophet’s morality and God himself. More or less, a theocratic government under the Rites of the Sun would censor any form of thought that includes ideas from the outside as this is already widely common within the Church itself.
A member of the Church of the Prophet and Disciples of the sun is called a Domist, after the Portuguese word for Sun. Outside of the influence of the Church, the group is most commonly called Domism. A Domist is expected to be devoted to the church in all aspects of life. They might exclude all who break its doctrine and are expected to live within Domist communities.
The leader of the Domist religion is the New Prophet, which is chosen a member of the inner circle of the followers closest to the Prophet of decades ago. The current New Prophet is Michael Força
Party End Goal
Spreading the ethics of the Rites of the Sun to all humans and colonize the universe.
Background:
The Rites of the Sun, or the Church of the Prophet and Disciples of the Sun, has its basis in the pre-WW3 Cults of South America during the 2150s. During this time of uncertainty the Cults particularly within of The New Brazilian Empire during the 3rd World War. Most of these groups were splintered and not completely organized. However, the start of WW3 brought to South America the growing power of one Church that soon overtook the rest. The Church of the Prophet and Disciples of the Sun had taken the signs of the new red sun has a sign that their prophet had already come to earth thus signaling the end of the world. WW3 had triggered it and the world had already ended, thus they were in the afterlife. From this belief, they think that the vast space around them is a gift from their God and that it is humanity obligation and right to expand and conquer their prize. In the present day, the Domist faith mainly occupies most of South America, with most of its influence being based within the remains of the Brazilian Empire, however there are pockets around the world of devote followers of Domism.

Spot being claimed:
General of Eden
Name:
Johnathan Kelibler
Appearance:
Political Standing:
The Romanian Democrats
Political Position:
Head of Political Party
Personality:
John is a man that sticks to his beliefs more so than his morals. The final result is all that matters in the world to him, and that final result usually favors him one way or another. Despite what many think he does love humanity first and foremost, but any other race is secondary in all respects. He prides himself on being a god fearing man, and the biblical title of their new home certainly suits him just fine.
Connections:
Joshua Kelibler: His only living relative is his brother that managed to avoid being a causality of the 30 year war.
Anna Kelibler: His wife that holds a minor political position herself.
Patrick Ross: His second in command in the political climate. A virtual yes man.
Personal History:
"Well before this all went down I was just another Texan. But now i'm more than that. For we are all Eden, and as a fellow member of Eden I like to do my job. What is that job you ask? To avoid the destruction of our way of life. We as humans have already harmed each other for years, so why should we give the "enemy" an edge. By being a collective whole we can serve our ultimate purpose. To reach the next step in humanity, and i'd like to do it by our own hands. Keeping outside influence to a minimum of course. But like I said I like to do my job, and that job is to create the proper Eden spoke of in the bible. God sent us out here for a reason after all right?"
John was a former general in America during the middle half of the 30 year war. He received multiple honors, and was always quite vocal in advocacy of his nation. Many flocked to him as his natural charisma and battle tactics more than his share of victories. At least that was until the final word came out, and it seemed as though the world truly wasn't fated to end. He was among the generals that were chosen to help lead the new united army of Eden. His sliver-tongue allowed him to beat out his completion to achieve the top seat on Eden only, but he also worked his way into getting a Parliament seat as well. This gave rise to his political party, The Romanian Democrats, as he believed that this universe was a gift from God. One that would be wasted if they let others boss them around, if there is other life out there in the first place.

This is an RP done for fun, this does not encourage you to throw your political, religious or any other kind of view into it and force it onto others. Don't take this too seriously, we're just here to have some (if complicated) fun.
