THE CONVIST UNION
"In a world of terror and corruption, where the water runs gray and the skies become bleak; the world only needs a few individuals to bring the heart and soul back into the earth, a chosen few to rid this land of the corruption, greed, hunger, and war that had come to rule over it. These few individuals arrived under the Star of Strong Nights, and the Blue of the peaceful, open skies. Fighting for the people who stand behind them and trying to help the people who aren't with them. Although the many individuals who run under this banner may do these things, it could never be achieved by one. Due to this, many have joined together to see us rise, and although I may have been the first, the world ahead is full of teeming hope, love, and passion for our new cause." -Durva Pambini, the creator of the Convist Ideal; 1794.
The Convist Union is a newly formed economic, social, and military union designed to blend together elements of capitalist and communist ideas. Initially written with left-wing intention, right-wing individuals are welcome, creating a diverse political landscape and allowing easy entry for new nations. Estimated to be a world superpower by the International Classification Organization, the Convist Union is a massive, diverse, and powerful union created by the government, for the people.
The Union has 10 Republics at the moment, 4 puppet states, 11 disputed territories, and 1 Special Administrative Region. The most common and recognized Republics are Moschovite Convist Federative Republic (MCFR), the New Grestanian Convist Federative Republic (NGCFR), and the Thalasian Convist Federative Republic (TCFR). These are commonly reognized to their membership status, their contributions, and their devotion to the Union itself.
The Union is also a notable military power, as its many territories have joined with rather large and undamaged armies at the time. The Military strength within the Convist Union is estimated to be 782,000 Actives, and 14,218,000 reserves in the Union, adding up to an estimated 15 million at full force. It is a well stocked army, mainly due to the large navy that the many island republics use, which allow the transportation of goods much faster than other colonial systems.
The common culture within the United Federation is a notably less spiritual Eastern-European style with some Central-European additions, as well as light East Asian style within the Union. The Union also holds some of the largest Vodka distilleries in the world, spanning over possible blocks of space. The Union is also very well known for the many propaganda posters, songs, cartoons, TV shows, and art that hold the ideal of Convist Realism.
The Union is also a very popular technological sector, as being a country that is able to send men and probes into space, it is a recognized power in the Space Industry, and commonly competes with other countries to both boost propaganda campaigns and boost productivity. The main technological hub in the Union is The United Motherland, being a heavy technological and light technological manufacturer in its colonial days.
"With the strong combination, the Convist Union had brought itself to life, no. Not through hate, not through anger, not through corruption or greed, but through peace... Peace, peace was how it was founded - for we shall keep it that way, for the well being of the pepole, and the safety of the state." -Squgeious Kolebrath Alfi Dakia, Head of the Convist Union.

The Convist Union, as it being a very large system, it does not hold all of its power within one nation, and instead, it had created a multitude of ways to make sure all republics are equally represented. The common system includes a large senate collective, selected ministries that senators can work in, and the administrative branch.
The Senate The Convist Senate (Also nicknamed the Peoples' Assembly), being the largest political body, is filled with chosen political candidates from a said republic. Every republic has a minimum of how many seats their allowed to have, and the senate has a limit of how many seats it can have open before it has to expand again. The minimum for republics is 10 seats, while making currently out of the 400 chair senate, making only 80 seats out of 400 within the Union. Leaving 320 seats for both expansion for the senate members and the new republics.
The senate also has a minimum of when it must expand itself, as the current minimum being 100 seats. This minimum will most likely expand as the seats fill up, due to making it much harder to have extra senate chairs. The senate also holds a policy of lowering the minimum to punish certain republics for laws such as treason, acting without Union Permission, and funding certain groups.
The current arrangement of seats, click on to open larger image and key.
The Union's senate commonly contributes to almost all of the laws within the Convist Union. The few laws which are not chosen by the senate, normally are chosen by the ministers if not so, and the Administrative Branch commonly can introduce laws due to their own system. Although this instance is not too common, it commonly happens with things such as, possibly happen such as drafting for war, vaccinations for polio and certain sicknesses, and the banishment of certain nations.
The Union's Senate is also restricted from running outside of the boundaries of the General Convist Ideal, which the senate also has the ability to change. If the senate would like to do so, the senate may propose a change to the Administrative Branch, although the Administrative Branch is allowed to deny the requests, If no amendment was passed before so, that fall into the category what-so-ever.
The Convist Ministry The Convist Ministry (Sometimes nicknamed the Democratic Peoples' Coalition) is a much smaller organization compared to the senate, although creates the borderline between the Administrative Branch and the Senate. The Ministry is a elected organization by the Senate Members, although pepole have special permissions inside of the ministry, their senate membership still stays the same.
The Convist Ministry is commonly controlling laws, that must either be too urgent to send to the senate, or create smaller laws in which the Senate does not need to vote on or choose. Proper laws must be sent to the Senate, and other laws which are more general go to the Administrative Branch.
Every single Sector of the Ministry is allowed to have a 'Sub-Veto', which may only rule it out if it is very controversial. The boundaries of controversial are normally 55%-45%, and sense if it is below 50% it is not a pass, they only have a 5 percent window to use a veto. This allows a much more regulated ministry, which has the skill to have vetoes and change laws around within the senate, while also not letting them have too much power. Sub-Sectors are not allowed to have any Sub-Vetoes.
The Ministry holds inner bodies that are named Sectors and Sub-Sectors, Sectors are
The Convist Ministry consists of 5 sections, and also has 2 Sub-Sectors. Below is the list of Sections and Subsections:
I. The Economics & Commerce Ministry
II. The Liberation & Defense Ministry
III. The Diplomacy Ministry
IV. The Internal Affairs Ministry
Sub-Sectors
I. The Peoples' Affairs Ministry (Apart of The Internal Affairs Ministry)
II. The Scientific Affairs Ministry (Apart of both The Economics & Commerce Ministry and The Liberation & Defense Ministry)
II. The Liberation & Defense Ministry
III. The Diplomacy Ministry
IV. The Internal Affairs Ministry
Sub-Sectors
I. The Peoples' Affairs Ministry (Apart of The Internal Affairs Ministry)
II. The Scientific Affairs Ministry (Apart of both The Economics & Commerce Ministry and The Liberation & Defense Ministry)
The Ministry is not able to subtract the basic sectors(Underlined), which are neccary to the Unions' survival, although they may add and subtract other new Sections and Sub-Sections that are not under the Basic Category.
The Administrative Branch The Convist Administrative Branch (Better known as The Convist [Peoples'] Democratic Assembly) is the smallest, yet most recognized Branch of the Convist Union. Only having 5 senators, its 5 senators are commonly from higher political spawns in certain republics. 3 are non-elected, permanent members, while 2 are elected members that are only ministers can run for. While none of them are allowed to have a special status in the Senate.
The Administrative Branch normally creates laws that are either very general in nature, emergency laws, or laws that support the Convist Ideal, such as granting of rights, which may only be voted on if the Administrative Branch allows so. The Administrative Branch commonly is the one that declares large scale projects, such as wars, tourist attractions, monuments, and other projects that could not be easily done by one Ministry.
The Administrative Branch in unity holds a veto, which can remove a law that is not too popular. Normally, this type of veto only comes from the collective Branch, and can not be used if far too controversial between the Branch. The General Secretary also holds his own Veto, which is as not as powerful as the collective Branches' Veto, is still capable of being used in times where the Administrative Branch does not fit the plan.
The Administrative Branch Consists of these key positions below, each will have an explanation of their duties and their powers within the Convist Union. In addition, underlined ones are the only ones that are not democratically elected.
The General Secretary of the Convist Union:
The General Secretary of the Union is the main embodiment of the Convist Union. The General Secretary has the few extra permissions of adding and removing State Secretaries, and also has the permission of a personal veto. The General Secretary is the top of the hierarchy in the Union, and commonly puts rules into line. Even though he is considered equal within the administrative branch, his extra powers make him considerably the leader within the Convist Union.
The Peoples' State Secretary of the Convist Union:
The Peoples' State Secretary (Commonly called the State Secretary) is the borderline between the General Secretary and the Peoples' Secretary. This secretary is very similar compared to the Peoples' Secretary, although they are not democratically elected, and commonly exist due to outstanding contributions to the Union, and most likely have been around sense the beginning of the Union. These can be replaced at any time by the will of the General Secretary, which makes these a 'Vice-Leader' of the Convist Union.
The Democratic Peoples' Secretary of the Convist Union:
The Democratic Peoples' Secretary (Commonly called the Peoples' Secretary) is the most basic form of membership within the Convist Union. These have no extra powers what-so-ever, and are considered the baseline of power in the Union, moreover they are also democratically elected, making them replaceable by the Senate's will. These normally contribute to the same rules as both the General Secretary and State Secretary, and are allowed to make laws exactly the same of how the upper two are. These are normally considered the third tier of the Administrative Branch, while uneducated foreigners commonly do not hear about them.
The Convist Union, being a very equal-hardy state, commonly treats ambassadors with only very little extra ambassadorial protection. If an ambassador breaks a law, they will commonly either be deported, or if they witnessed a law, they will most likely be sent to court as witness.
The table below clearly defines the Convist Union's policy on Ambassadors.
| Subject | May be arrested or detained | Residence may be entered subject to ordinary procedures | May be issued traffic ticket | May be subpoenaed as witness | May be prosecuted |
| Ambassador or equivalent | No | No | Yes | Yes | No |
