Shanxi Trust
The Shanxi Trust is an incredibly loose, temporary group of representatives that was formed on the arrival of the Asmaran Federation on Shanxi. Their negotiations to incorporate Shanxi into the federation required a collective government. While there were many detractors to such a course of action on Shanxi, each of the main settlements sent a representative to the talks with federal diplomats.
Historically, Shanxi has had very little in the way of large governmental structure. Each settlement is self sufficient, growing enough food to provide for its human population, and scavenging parts for the Caretaker population. Trade is done for consumer goods and rare parts, but very few large trade companies have formed to facilitate. Instead, each settlement relies on those nearby to trade in the goods they need, and so forth, creating a natural chain of supply.
