I've been developing my favorite organic empire, the Sovereign Systems Alliance and i'd like to share some of its lore, empire build, what could be changed, etc for discussion.
Sovereign Systems Alliance:
Form of Government: Representative Constitutional Republic
Ethics: Fanatic Egalitarian / Materialist
The SSA is made up of many planets and systems, so how would everyone be fairly represented? Well, the go-to thing would be to elect representatives for each planet, that in-turn represent the mining/research systems around said planet. But because collectively large populations live on off-world orbital stations, a rivalry between the space-born and planet-born is an inevitability. IF a representative is on a planet, how can he/she properly represent a population they can't connect with? Therefore a representative should be elected by the system's themselves and all associated orbital stations within the system. So would Sovereign Systems Alliance be a fitting name? Well, the main issue is the "Alliance" part, because the SSA is a single sovereign empire the systems and planets aren't in an alliance that can just be simply left, Alliance is not a nicely fitting term.
So what is?
Sovereign Systems Confederation?
Sovereign Systems Federation?
Sovereign Systems Republic? Sounds odd, but is a bit more fitting.
So, what about:
Systems Republic? Too bland.
United Systems Republic?
Should we take away the "Sovereign" part or keep it? I like how it sounds, and I imagine my people being very prideful of independence and the thought of their "sovereignty"
let me know what you think.
