Government and Political System
Federal structure
The Federation united the Various Countries under one government, removing explicit national borders and allowing travel between countries without passports. Individual national governments nevertheless continue to operate, making the Federation a united system rather than a fully centralized state. 32 491
| Institution / Office | Function |
|---|---|
| Holy Lord | The Federation’s highest political and military office. Holy Lords are selected through elections involving both upper echelons and citizens of the Various Countries. 490 571 |
| House of Representatives | A 500-seat body elected by each country’s population. It can propose legislation and nominate high-ranking Federation officials. 342 |
| Senate | A 364-member body elected by the House of Representatives. It reviews bills passed by the House but cannot independently propose them. 342 |
| Federation Great Seal | Required to formalize major Federation actions, including the distribution of military rewards. 595 |
Chen Xia retained the Senate and House of Representatives after becoming Holy Lord, believing that preserving them would prevent excessive concentration of power after his eventual departure from office. 595
Holy Lords
| Holy Lord | Term / Circumstances | Notes |

History
The Federation emerged when the Various Countries united under a common government. While national governments and customs remained, the removal of formal borders created a unified era across Blue Star. 32 491
It developed human settlements in the Outer Domain, including Star Cities under Federation jurisdiction. These cities possess limited autonomy and are regarded as a potential refuge for humanity should Blue Star fall, though they may sever their connection to Blue Star in such a catastrophe. 163 276
For much of its history, the Federation fought defensive wars against the Different Races across the Eight Star Realms. It later began a major counteroffensive, seeking Northern Star’s resources to strengthen itself rather than remaining permanently passive. 251 340 462
The Federation captured the Giant Deer Star Realm after Chen Xia breached the Winged Race’s defensive line, killed Grandmaster Shi Wei, and led troops through the enemy teleportation array. The victory secured supplies, territory, and a major morale advantage. 401 410
After the Different Races flooded Blue Star through ancient teleportation arrays, the Federation cooperated with Chen Xia to reverse the water flow into Different Race territory. The counterattack enabled the Federation to seize supplies valued at more than one hundred trillion credits in non-strategic reserves alone. 422 433 441
Brant replaced Lei Qianren as Holy Lord amid widespread political campaigning and promises to eliminate the Different Race within five years. His administration escalated the war and attempted to centralize control, creating severe divisions within the Federation. 521 525 564
After Chen Xia defeated Brant and Farrell, the Federation’s Martial Saints elected him Holy Lord. Under his command, Federation forces launched a final full-scale offensive against Blackstone Mountain and ended the five-hundred-year war with the Different Race. 569 580 589
Following the victory, the Federation began establishing bases, cities, mining zones, and economic districts across Northern Mang. Captured Different Race survivors were used as laborers while the Federation extracted local resources for construction, research, and immigration. 589 592 624
Military and Technology
Armed forces
- The Federation maintains armies numbering in the millions to guard the Eight Star Realms and conduct Outer Domain operations. 462
- Martial warriors are a central part of its military structure; Flying Martial Warriors can hold back entire regiments of Different Races. 177
- Federation forces use merit as a major incentive for battlefield service and resource acquisition. 189 202
- The Federation can mobilize aircraft, martial artists, and uniformed soldiers to protect strategically important personnel and assets. 262
- Its military command expanded into Northern Mang after the Different Race war, with Blackstone Mountain becoming a key regional foothold. 592
Notable systems
| System | Capabilities / Use |
|---|---|
| S3-Type New Energy Cannon | Suppresses Flying Realm experts and reduces the Different Race’s aerial numerical advantage. 253 |

Scientific development
The Federation’s technological base supports mass-produced medicines, broad martial education, surveillance, communications, advanced aircraft, virtual technology, and new-energy weaponry. Its large population and technological support help create more martial artists than many Outer Domain civilizations can produce. 469 470
After occupying Different Race territory, it acquired special soil, sand, and minerals suitable for technological cannons and spacecraft manufacturing. These materials accelerated work on next-generation fighters, spatial folding, laser systems, and new energy artillery. 590 624
Through cooperation with the Star Spirit Clan, the Federation received access to advanced energy, materials, biomedicine, information, aerospace, psionic, and starship technologies. Chen Xia subsequently initiated the Deep Blue Voyage Plan to absorb this technological database and develop interstellar capabilities. 631 633
Economy and Citizenship
Merit system
- Merit is the foundation of a martial warrior’s resource supply within the Federation. 202
- Merit can be exchanged through the Federation Official Website, Vermilion Bird Martial Hall, and Martial Warrior Alliance. 202
- One merit point can be exchanged for supplies worth 3,000 yuan or 3,000 Martial Hall points. 189
- Accumulating more than 60,000 merit generates an equal amount of exchange points without reducing the underlying merit. 167
- Exceptional merit can allow a person to bypass normal advancement and become eligible for the House of Representatives. 207
