Name of nation:

The Federation of Sol and Associated Colonies

Species:

Humans

Description of government:

The Federation is headed by a President, acting as the head of the Federation as well as having the authority to suggest and break ties on laws. A bicameral Legislature exists, consisting of a Senate and Parliament. Each individual system within the Federation sends ten senators, and then the Parliament holds 800 seats, which are elected and decided upon the people, with the seats delegated to each system dependent on population. A Supreme Court exists, managing the Federation’s judicial system as well acting as the final say on whether or not a law goes against the rights granted to citizens.

Cultural Overview:
Ever since the end of the Third World War the overall culture of the Federation has been mixed in mashed due to the combination of so many Earth Nations. However in particular German, American, and British culture are very dominate in Sol, with English having taken over as the primary language of the Federation. Individual Systems within the Federation have come to be dominated by different cultures however. Alpha Centauri and it’s capital of New Siberia are dominated by Russian culture, with System A-1(a mere colony and not a fully developed system like Alpha Centauri or Sol) has become dominated by Asian culture. 

History:
The earliest history of the Federation of Sol and her formation goes back to events that lead to the Third World War. Europe, fearing more and more the reviving Russian Giant and their loss of influence and power to the growing Chinese Giant, formed the European Federation. Guided by the The United Kingdom and Germany, the European Federation was rising to challenge the status quo. Russia began making more aggressive moves, hoping to outpace the EF. However despite attempts by both Russia and China the EF managed to rise higher than most other nations, consolidating their power and directing influence to Africa in hopes to secure the resources there via trade agreements.

The USA also saw much change in this period, as it was forced to shut down many of it’s oversea bases amidst further economic troubles. Rioting became problem as the USA’s police forces and military began preparing for what was gearing to be a huge collapse. Both China and Russia began rapid expansion of their militaries, with plans to secure influence over huge chunks of land now that America was falling. In response to this the European Federation also began a rapid expansion of it’s military to secure itself against the coming giant. Tensions between Russia, the European Federation, and China further raised as incidents and revolutions in Africa occurred, with the European Federation and China usually supporting different sides. Many observers called this a second Cold War. The UN fell further into uselessness, as many nations withdrew and those remaining ignored the former treaties and acts that had been passed by it.

Tensions between the European Federation and Russia finally managed to spark into a full out war. Belarus, which had been considering joining the European Federation, was swiftly occupied by Russia. The EF demanded Russia withdraw or face a full out war with Europe, and of course Russia refused. The war began as Russian forces brutally pressed into the Scandinavian Peninsula and the Baltic nations. The European Federation sent many forces, as a huge devastating war with massive loss of life began. Within the first few months the death toll rose to more than 70 million, with the Geneva Conventions having been forgotten and torn to pieces. Civilians became a primary target for Russia, with Poland and the Balkans devastated by Russian firebombing campaigns.

While the war occurred the USA government fell and anarchy spread across much of the USA. However a new highly right-wing government managed to seize control of many states, and quickly restored order. While devastated from the anarchy, the new government instituted many policies that led to a rapid rebuilding of the USA. While this new government disagreed with many of the left-wing policies of the European Federation, it saw the resurging Russia and the Chinese Dragon as more of a threat. The New USA quickly declared war on Russia, launching a invasion from Alaska. China threatened war on both the European Federation and the New USA if the invasion was not canceled. Upon the New USA’s refusal China declared war, and added a whole new layer of brutality to the war. The war had finally been called WW3, as the nations of the world devoted their entire attention to the war.

Africa quickly became divided as those who fell under EF and China influence choose to support their chosen sponsors. Africa’s deserts quickly became bathed in blood, as various Asian Nations choose whether or not to support China. Many rallied behind the USA and European Federation, and the war became more brutal than before. The Death toll quickly rose to over 200 million, with cities becoming nothing but bombed out husks.

As the war continued a combined European and New USA offensive pushed into Russia and managed to capture Moscow, forcing them to surrender. China was forced on the defensive as the New USA’s fleets began harassing supply ships from Africa and other Chinese-Allied nations. China was becoming desperate as the New USA and EF cut of many of their options.

On August 21st, 2065, Los Angeles was lit up with a Chinese Nuclear ICBM. New Delhi also fell to Chinese Nukes, as India had chosen to align themselves with the European Federation. While the New USA and European Federation quickly moved in missile defenses, they were unable to save the cities of Istanbul, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Vienna, Warsaw, Dallas, Houston, and Miami. The New USA, EF, and its allies all met at Washington D.C to discuss their plan of action, and they consorted that the only had one option.

A month after the Chinese bombings Beijing was nuked. As China did not foresee the use of nukes by the European Federation or the New USA, much of China’s central leadership was destroyed. This allowed for a final push, as China and her remaining allies were occupied. On September 19th, 2065, WW3 had finally drawn to a close. 20 years of unrelenting brutal war had devastated the Earth, cities destroyed, and pollution and radiation spreading around the globe. The final estimate for the death toll was placed at 600 million, 400 million of which was estimated to be civilian deaths.

The world’s remaining leaders convened this time in Ottawa, Canada to discuss the future. They decided that the only way to prevent another war and save the Earth was to unite it. This lead to the creation and signing of the United Earth Compact, creating a central Earth Government which held authority over all of it’s land and people, but remained democratic and free. They focused on space, hoping that with use of resources from their Earth could be saved.

Much research was conducted, leading to the development of many of the space-faring technologies possessed by the Federation today. Most of Earth’s population was moved underground, or to floating sky cities powered by new anti-gravity systems. Terraformers were placed on the surface and began removing much of the radiation caused by the bombings, as well as the pollution. Despite this not many cities were allowed on the surface, as much of it was saved for farming.

With the Earth renewed and many inter-system mining posts and small colonies on the moon and Mars, the United Earth Compact changed their name to the Federation of Sol and Associated Colonies. FTL was developed as humanity stopped looking at the destruction caused by WW3, and began looking towards space as the future for humanity. Earth entered a period of advancement, as nano-bots, AI, and cybernetics were developed to help expansion. Sol became  a fully developed system, and the government launched a operation towards Alpha Centauri, leading to the colonization of New Siberia and the growth of Alpha Centauri as a fully-developed system. 

The Federation of Sol and Associated Colonies elected Robert McClain as the newest president in 2154. His policies lead to huge growth of the Federation and her colonies, with System A-1 colonized shortly after he took control. He has been re-elected many times, and his popular amongst the Federation’s citizens.

At current the Federation is monitoring the LSN through a small outpost established in their home system. They are making determinations as whether or not to contact them due to how primitive they are compared to the federation.
