Twilight of the Galaxy: Reloaded (OOC, Open)

[Ordei]

Ooooo. The Conglomerate is accepted. Yay! I can't wait for someone to interact with it.

Hey, Orson; a superpower could always use an economic powerhouse ontop of its already economic powerhousing, if ya catch my drift...

Ew don't help the Covvies

Covvies will be friends...

[Maljaratas]

Anybody wanna interact with the Alliance Delegation?

Sure, though it would be better if you initiated contact

[Ordei]

Depeds on what you mean by the edge of the sphere of influence.

A sphere of influence has no distinct edge, really. It fades from heavily-influenced states right on the border right out to those faraway nations where your "influence" amounts to the nation giving yours a thought in major decisions.

I mean you're at the sort of border wherein you're far away enough where the Conglomerate and its corporatocratic ideologue isn't a huge issue, nor does it give human corporations any ideas; but close enough where the Conglomerate might be a major trading partner, and might have some corporations operating within your borders...

If you're okay with it, we can provide you with the fastest, non-immediate-traverse FTL in the galaxy so that you can trade fastee.

Also, who's going to interact wuth me? I'm not going ti make anpost until I have enough replies ,(Gambia, or anyone elsemI interact with,)

I will, though you should view my previous post.

I can't initiate contact if I'm not making a post until I have enough replies. Once I do, I can start knocking people off my list. Please do so yourself.

The Conglomerate has its own synthetics that it created, so no worries there. Also, I'm sure the Conglomerate has poked around and asked some human corporations where the sweet spots are for any corruption in the UNS government; allowing it to not worry about all those silly things. Synthetics which aren't sentient probably don't get minimum wage by UNS law standards, right? So they probably use synthetics as slaves to do whatever needs be done while operating in UNS borders; allowing them to make nothing but profit, aside from any money they have to pay the UNS of course.

And, alright then. I'll probably include you in my post for the Conglomerate, saying the Board contacted you, claiming that a CAO is coming to the UNS to renew economic and trade deals and the like.

Corruption? We have a 100% computerized and AI-maintained bureaucracy, robotic inspectors, and a robotic police force. What is corruption?

And yes, synthetics are not subject to minimum wage law, whether sentient or otherwise. No sane corporation in the UNS uses humans for grunt work. Not when the minimum wage is a 135 Credits an hour (in contemporary US$, roughly 600 an hour). They all use some kind of robot or AI.

But do be reminded that to bring in synthetics from abroad, you need to fill out special permits, which needs to be cross-referenced with your juristic person registration, internal audits, and your financial statements from the...

You should probably bring a regiment of synthetic clerks as well, actually, because you will need it. Remember to submit both the paper copy and the electric copy. If one is missing, then there is going to be an audit that you'll be paying for.

I don't really know what everyone is going so it would be best if someone approached us

You mentioned p4blem with AI sentience earlier. Corruption is a problem wherever a sapient mind is at work.

In addition, I'd love for you to deal with royal lawyers. Some of them are insane because they arepower crazed, and might have your AI 'assassinated'. It'd be easyenouh.

Plzen, how about I make an offer for your nation. I give you the tech that lets your tech resist many forms of brain-to-computer interfaces, and we hit it off from there with a few favors I want. It's either that, or you're left exposed tl a tech we'll soon be selling on the galactic markets, and black markets in floods.

You don't want your natiom's army hacked by sentient, terrorist AI, or simply terrorists, do you?

[The Greater Gambia]

Alright, time to make a post. Oh look Stellaris.... This is my life now.

[The V O I D]

Moscow, I'll probably build my response to you into my Conglomerate introductory post.

I think everyone should become a Conglomerate. We should call the galactic super-government the Galactic Conglomerate.

[Dansha]

I do wonder what the GKU thinks of the UNS.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Alright, time to make a post. Oh look Stellaris.... This is my life now.

We should totally elope and fight together.

[Ordei]

I don't think everyone's responded to the lore databases. Please do so, so that we can move on....

So I was reading some science fiction, and came across a beautiful idea. I will try to summarize it in my own words.

Galactic Legal Concept: The Right to Continued Existence.

In the event that a conclusion of a war involves the transfer of a populated celestial body from the defeated to the victor, the victorious power shall assume responsibility for the cost of relocating the population of that celestial body, and as much of the planet's infrastructure as is necessary to guarantee the continued survival of the population, to a suitable replacement.

This could be the start of some kind of a galactic Geneva Convention.

Any thoughts on this?

There is no way in hell the Covenant would agree to this.

I'm gonna post as the Conglomerate Board requesting a meeting with the Cho'Dosan government via one of their CAOs IC wise.

That okay with you, orson?

Yeah go ahead.

What if I told you there are several massive loopholes?

Assuming it involves the transfer of a population and not the extermination or subjugation.

the victorious power shall assume responsibility for the cost of relocating the population of that celestial body,

Doesn't say the ride has to be comfortable. Or safe.

and as much of the planet's infrastructure as is necessary to guarantee the continued survival of the population,

Guess they won't be needing these factories. Or technology. Primitivism ho!

to a suitable replacement.

Like a planet with a lucrative slave business or an uninhabitable world with a few airtight habitats set up.

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

Hey Ordei, the Empire of the Sun will protect its client state if it is attacked by another power? Or is it not an military alliance>
