[b]Government Type/Operation/Description: Each world or other large population center has its own council of population-elected officials that in turn elect one of their own to be in the CFW Council, which in turn elect 3 high-ranking people to act as the Head of the Federation, as the President, or 'First-Elected,' to act as the Federation's best interests, with the Head of Carethians, to act in the peoples' best interests, and with the Head of [/b]
[b]Economic System/Prosperity: Based on 'Honor.' Essentially, when a warrior of some kind [such as a fleet admiral, a pilot, or even just a marine] fights and wins a battle, then, depending on the opponent, whether a man of equal rank and skill, or a fleet larger than your own, they earn 'Honor,' which essentially increases their influence, political power, and wealth. It's everything; to insult them is to insult their honor, to doubt them is to doubt their honor, and can often be the cause of someone dying to set their honor to peace.[/b]

[b]Race Name:[/b] Carethians
[b]Race Info:[/b] Think of a humanoid two-meter tall bear, with regular manly hands that are just covered in softer and finer hair. They're generally peaceful and wish only to expand and grow, and allow their own to live spaciously, comfortably, and honorably. Honor and respect are a great part of their nature, and their culture; if one ever disrespects another, a duel may be called, and only ends with the death of the other. 
[b]Average Lifespan:[/b] One hundred and fifty years. 15 to the beginning of their main growth spurt; 20 to the start of full maturity.
[b]Physical Characteristics:[/b] Bears, at two meters tall, slimmer and with more humanoid characteristics. No snout or flared nostrils. One may find resemblance between a Carethian and a teddy bear. 5-fingered hands [I really just can't cope with any more or less! Dx] with a structure almost exactly like a human's, besides the Carethian's being bigger, stronger, and ending not with fingernails, but with claws. Short, only slightly curved, but still claws.
[b]Dominant Society:[/b] The Construction Guild. One of the Special Six Guilds of the Federation, it controls most, if not all, naval shipyards, construction depots, orbital shipyards, and other construction-oriented structures or facilities. They work also on a republic system: a person from each facility is ranked up to low-council, where they elect another to represent their system, up to high-council, where they work on allocating resources wherever they need to go. They also control most of the mining and agricultural facilities on colonies or on planets. 
[b]Moral Values:[/b] [i]There are those who are good, who are respectful in their own right, who stand up when standing up needs to be done, who gets things done for the good of himself, the good of his kin, and the good of his people. And then there are those who are evil, who conquer others for the sake of conquering, for no reason other than to shed blood and to expand themselves without reason. [/i] -- Henceseth, Greyseth's ancestor, Book of Moral
[b]Religion:[/b] The All-Mother and her 5 Divinities are all-powerful and all-watchful, speaking through the priests to Voice themselves to those who need their Voice. They are the All-Mother, the deity of Birth, Life, and Death, Anklone who is the Fire and the Water, Taklone who is the Earth and the Sky, Electlone who is the lightning and the thunder, Zenilone who is the lifeblood of technology, and the All-Father, who is Oblivion, or Space. There are many lower deities, several of them prominent, including one named 'Hermaeous Mora', or 'Herma-More.' As a writhing mass of tentacles, he keeps the Books of Fate, in the Library of Eternity, ever-expanding across his strange, otherworldly dimension that few have seen and stayed sane. [You bet! The Elder Scrolls!]
