Our Flag
Our Motto
"Sforzatevi di conquistare le stelle."
It is Italian for "Strive to conquer the stars."
Government/Leaders
Our government is called a Constitutional Military Monarchy.
The government is represented by Star.(Often the leader is referred to as the Star.)
It is leader by the Supreme Commander who has the power much of the power as an absolute monarch that often participates in military activities. She/he has the power to appoint just about whoever they want to office, but the people may reject the person if they do not wish the person in power. The Supreme Commander always is assigned a warship for transport around international waters. That warship is his/her personal command.
The Two Houses
House of Lords:
The House of Lords is the upper house of the government. Made up of 115 hereditary Earldoms that can be inherited by ether gender, they help make up the bulk of the government policies. Not all members need to serve on in the military, although it is traditional for someone to enter the military for a short period of time if they are an heir to an Earldom. They are split into multiple parties. The most notable parties are:
The Loyalists: Very loyal to the Supreme Commander, always supports their leader in war and peace.
The Liberals: Known for their isolationist views, they often avoid war and are often trying to knock down the power of the Star. They always find a way to make life miserable for the rest of the government and usually try to propose cuts to the military that are met with fierce opposition.
The New Found Men: Originally a faction of the Loyalists with some Liberal ideals, they founded the newest and youngest party in the House of Lords. They're known to be the best moderators between the Loyalist and Liberals.
Unaligned Members: Members that unaligned may often support more than one party, but changing alliances too much tends to make that member unpopular with the Supreme Commander and the difference parties.
The House of the People:
The House the People the lower of the two houses. Every person that serves in this house is elected by the people every 8 years. They are the voice of the people and more than often go to logger heads with the House of Lords. The people often support the Supreme Commander over anything else and often bills that try to reduce the Supreme Commander's powers or extreme budgets cuts are stopped cold. There are the exact same parties in this house as in the Lords, only the Loyalists are almost always outnumbered in this house.
Lords/Countesses: Any one who is a Lord or noble controls small plots of lands in StellarGate. People may live on these land if they want to, but they are not bound to the land. Lords/Countesses may not tax the people on their land, that is the Lord of Exchequer's job.
Lord of Exchequer: This Lord is one of the few titles which isn't inherited. A person is chose every 10 years to resive this title. This Lord's job is to regulate parts of the economy, oversee budgets and different economic committees.
General Information
Stellar Valley: Covering almost 69% of StellarGate, Stellar Valley is a valley so large, most visitors, don't realize that Stellar Valley is in fact a valley. There are numerous smaller valleys within Stellar Valley, so most people know of the smaller valleys, not the larger one.
Civilian Capital City: Echo Valley City
Echo Valley is a large city mainly for citizens that have not entered or are in the military. It contains all the embassies, national museums, parks and other stuff civilian life. Often Military personnel looking to get away from the drag of the military scene can be found in this city. The Supreme Commander official house is here, but she doesn’t live here often. Echo Valley City is located in(What else?) Echo Valley, a smaller valley of the larger, Stellar Valley. Also Echo Valley ahs a large, clear, and deep river named the Venna, which flows out to the coast of StellarGate. Commerical ships like cruise ships or warships of the StellarGate Navy travel frequently up and down the Venna witht he help of small tug boats.
Military Capital city: MMB-G60(Main Military Base-Genno 60)
AKA: Chionodoxa
MMB-Genno 60, use to be a secret military base. Over time long visits from the Supreme Commander and the Royal family caused the base to grow into something like a small town for the guards that were stationed there. After a while the complexes that had sprung up around it, made it into its own little city. One Supreme Commander finally moved his official residence to MMB-G60 and the base could no longer be kept secret. People are often in uniform, guards patrol building tops and the streets while helicopters and other military aircraft patrol and land/take off from the base. Most of the people in the military call it Chionodoxa, after the national flower of StellarGate. It is located about 346 miles from Echo Valley City, in its own very small valley called Black Valley.
The Ennagon, a 9 sided building located about 16 miles outside Chionodoxa, is hard to get to by anything other than helicopter or a *CLASSIFIED* transportation system. The Ennagon is home to the heads of all the military branches. It has 100 publicly known levels, 50 above ground and 50 below. It actually has more level than most people think because it extends underground another *CLASSIFIED* levels down after the -50th floor.
Both Chionodoxa and the Ennagon are surrounded by lush, think forests and hills. Hidden sensor stations and anti-aircraft defenses are set up around both. Most basements are nuclear-proofed and buildings are built for a military environment. Soldiers are often found on patrols or training missions throughout the small valley, almost all runways are very short, (requiring most aircraft to have tailhooks and the use of arresting gear for the aircraft. More detail when I complete this thread,) and security devices, such as wireless cameras, sound recorders and other technology guard these two important landmarks.
People of StellarGate
Every citizen of StellarGate is a human, but they are very flexible. They are quite peaceful, but since StellarGate is mostly a military state, the population of StellarGate always rallies behind its military and supports it in every way they can. They tolerate outsiders, but even in Echo Valley City, if you are disliked by someone of the Royal family, or have ever committed a crime against their home country, people tend to view that person with suspicion.
