Sol Republic

Structure

On a galactic level, the Sol Republic works like a federation of smaller city-state republics. The government is broken up into four branches, the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial, and the Representative. The Executive branch carries out all orders from the Legislative and Representative. The Legislative branch writes the laws and determines foreign policy The Judicial branch is the highest court in the Republic, it's rulings are law. The Representative branch gives the people a say, with representatives able to sit in on and relay the happenings within other branches.

Culture

As it was with old Earth, the cultures of the Sol Republic are incredibly varied, many have formed and been lost as technology and environment shifts, however here are a few of the main cultures within the Sol Republic. Utopian-Stellar - The most prominent culture on the main worlds of the Sol Republic, is a drastic mix of many human and alien cultures, it has heavy focuses on just and equal treatment of all. Euro-Mix - A mix (if not bastardization) of the pre-stellar European cultures, with a focus on community and science. Neo-Russki - A direct descendant of Slavic and eastern-European cultures, a deeply ingrained nihilism can be seen in this culture, often referencing the old space-faring USSR cosmonauts. Martian - a culture that began growing as soon as Humans landed on Mars, this culture is highly individualistic and self-reliant; technical know-how is seen very highly by the Martians. New Worlder - culturally descendants from the new world of ancient earth, they favor exploration and colonization, and they are also individualistic to a fault. Oriental - descendant of the cultures of old Asia, heavy focus on tradition and family. Terran (Aka Denebulan) - Authoritarian culture propagated by the Deneb Confederacy, Terrans want to unite humanity and remove the rights of non-humans.

History

After the third world war the surviving nations of Earth rebuilt, and eventually decided to put aside their conflict and engage in a space race, this space race led to the economy of Earth becoming so completely intertwined that unification was reasonable. From there humanity expanded outwards to meet and join the galactic community as the Earth Republic, however, it was eventually renamed to the Sol Republic after debate surrounding the legality of the non-earth worlds of the republic.
