Federal Government

Biodata

Government Structure

• The Federal has seventeen states, each with its own government, courts, and prosecutor's office. State judicial systems are generally independent but can cooperate on cross-state cases. 1859
• Federal law is formulated by Congress, but local law takes precedence when it conflicts with Federal law, provided basic laws are respected. 2663
• The President is the nominal national leader and supreme military commander, but is normally constrained by Congress, elections, and institutional separation of powers. 1847 2221
• Long-term wars require assessment by the Federal Military Committee and a congressional war bill before mobilization may begin. 1235
• During wartime, the Federal Charter grants the President centralized authority: military expenditure can be approved directly by presidential signature, while Congress becomes effectively sidelined. 1554 2264
• The National Security Committee was originally established by Congress, then reformed into an independent agency directly responsible to the President. 2222

Politics and Capital

• Federal elections are heavily dependent on capitalist funding; major capitalists finance campaigns, influence cabinet appointments, and support legislation favorable to their interests. 1036 1100
• The Progressive Party, Conservative Party, and Socialist Party are formally separate, but their core leadership is tied to the Saint and Harmony Society, contributing to the stability of the multi-party system. 1365
• The Federal's political system is characterized by mutual dependence between capital and political power: politicians need funding to advance, while capitalists rely on political representatives to protect their interests. 1523 2276
• Congress possesses extensive access to military, budgetary, and research information, making it a central arena for competition among political factions and military-industrial interests. 402 1933
• Elected officials are generally protected from investigation while in office; investigations into presidents, governors, and councilors are normally pursued only after they leave office. 1933

History

The Federal was founded through a political compromise between capitalists and politicians rather than a large-scale unification war. Its early history included the displacement, enslavement, and mass killing of indigenous people, later recast through official historical narratives as civilizational progress and “cultural filling.” 815 312 2216

For a long period, the government pursued disarmament and a restrained foreign policy to demonstrate that it posed no threat to other powers. This weakened the military's status and limited the Federal's international influence. 294 674 691

The Federal Navy's victory over Gefra marked a major shift. The government began expanding the Navy, promoting military modernization, and using public opinion to build support for a more assertive international posture. 400 686 700

Under President Truman, the Federal increasingly relied on military strength, industrial capacity, and diplomacy backed by force. Its victories and wartime production transformed it from an internationally underestimated state into a global power. 625 1120 1571

Military and Foreign Policy

Military Oversight

• The President must approve military operational plans before the armed forces can act; the military may not proceed if the President refuses to sign. 1766
• The military remains institutionally distinct from both the President and the Department of Defense, which can request cooperation but cannot completely dictate military decisions. 674
• High-ranking officers and military-industrial interests maintain financial ties, including stakes in enterprises receiving military orders. 1829 2221
• Private armed organizations require Department of Defense approval to use military-grade weapons and equipment domestically. 2719

Expansion and Standardization

• Following the naval victory over Gefra, the government approved an expansion of the Navy beyond its former single active formation and reserve formation. 686
• The Department of Defense pushed for a full replacement of mainstream Army and Navy equipment during the President's term, anticipating future war. 691
• The Federal promoted unified military-equipment standards internationally to simplify resupply and open foreign markets to Federal military-industrial groups. 1650
• During the war against Peng Joe, the Federal spent more than 66 billion Federal Sol in military expenditure, with total domestic and foreign-backed spending estimated at roughly 74–75 billion Federal Sol. 2264

Foreign Intervention

• The government used the Nagaril Joint Development Company to intervene in Nagaril while preserving the appearance of non-interference. 2015
• It later pursued a long-term strategy of de facto annexation: taking governmental powers, reshaping daily life around Federal norms, and making the population accustomed to living as Federal citizens. 2016
• The Federal established and backed the Gefra Exiled Government on its territory, presenting its support as a source of international legitimacy. 1880
• The government provided military and administrative assistance abroad under the language of peacekeeping, development, and support for “free regimes.” 2246 2719

Economy and Finance

• Government revenue is primarily generated through policy and taxation rather than direct commercial operation. 1138
• The Federal Savings Bank historically held the right to issue Federal currency after the government mortgaged tax revenue to it at the country's founding. 2548
• The government's dependence on capital limited its ability to confront major domestic conglomerates, even when anti-monopoly laws nominally existed. 2692
• Financial-security agencies were established within the Financial Supervisory Commission and National Security Committee as the Federal's international influence expanded. 2213

Institutional Restructuring

The Federal Government later faced an acute fiscal crisis as shelter construction and shrinking resources made its former administrative scale unaffordable. More than sixty percent of agencies and staff were cut, with plans to reduce the government to only several thousand personnel. 2867 2884
