Main Statistical segments

==population== Is predominantely Asiatic mongoloid; however, genetics programs and eugenics, specifically done by ESSI has in large part produced a much taller than average group with enhanced muscular structured and slightly larger frames than usual. In some rare instances the 'giants' standing 2 meters tall are particularly favoured in the contact sports programs in ICCD.

==agriculture== a wide variety of growth projects are underway ranging from algae farms to fungal and allot of rice, corn and beans, and many many fruit. Natural waste recycling utilizes both urine and fecal wastes, in addition to methane extraction.

==health and welfare== Government staff have full medical and dental coverage as long as they subscribe to the universal medical program. No one who follows the welfare program is forced to fend for themselves, but those in the welfare system effectively become state wards, until they gain independance again.

law enforcement, the administration of justice and corrections

government and business finance

The Central Bank manages the value of the currency interest rate and manages inflation with cost of living. Businesses subscribe to charter banks that are connected with the Central Bank.

==immigration and emigration== immigration is extremely low due to the only way of gaining entry is via a special program, or by finding work placements or as a relative. Work visas are only granted for skilled trades i.e. anyone with a degree or specialized knowledge. There was a period not to long ago that many individuals left; however, after the purges very few individuals remained that were opposed to the locality. There are a large number of government advisors that are made available to journeyman assignments.

education

==labour and employment== Labour and Employment is handled by HRD. There are two streams to employment, public, and prviate sector.

commerce with other countries

Open and in some cases free trade exist with a number of other states. The country itself attempts to be completely self reliant.

==prices and the cost of living== Foods tends to be very inexpensive except for animal foods which become incredibly overpriced due to a 'cruelty' tax. For non residents the cost of pr

==forestry, fishing and trapping== The greenbelt law and the animal rights laws have made exploitation of the natural environment almost impisible without steep fees, completely outweighting the global benifit of any actions. There are a number of fringe groups such as Green Warriors and Natures Vengance that seek out hunters and loggers and other groups often using the same methods on them as are used on the nature such as sawing them in half or shooting them in sport with them striped naked and filming this. It has reduced business in these sectors to almost 0.

mines, quarries and wells

ICCD is specialized in underground mining, and as such a wide variety of ines, quarries and wells exist, especially deep mining and geothermal vents.

manufacturing

Most of the industrial manufacturing is done via robotics and automation.

construction

Most of the construction enterprise is done via underground mining. Very few skysrapers are made instead deep structures are made or underground systems.

transportation, storage and communication

Transport is done via the very well funded transportation system and Dians tend to be very proud and keep fueds away from damaging the transport systems. There is a major highspeed underground rail system. Wireless communication is prevalent; however, there is still a large number of cable VOIP landlines, especially underground compelexes which transfer the discusion to a communications antena.

electric power, gas and water utilities

Thermal and Fussion systems are the primary sources of energy, with solar being a close third. Natural Gas is highly exploited and used in a variety of systems, including clean burning autos, methane is a close second since it is largely produced from human waste, however is used more for heating and cooking. Drinking and cooking water is generally privately handled while waste water and distrobution is both privately and community handled generally on a business coop level. Rainwater is highly used as well as personal wells and resevoirs.

wholesale and retail trade

Wholesale tends to be very high with a barter system being common in many instances to avoid involving currency, there are also a large number of cooperatives and city planing saves space for public cooperative planning.

finance, insurance and real estate

Insurance subscription is much higher then usual as accidents arising from fueds are much higher then in a more police controlled state. Real Estate values tend to be incredibly high due to the greenbelt laws, while the population has three dominant groups, socialist state wards,

public administration

There are a large number of public administrators on many levels, although the system is centralized there are a number of checks and balances.

community, business and personal services

There is a very solidified community basis. Business tends to be mostly import export oriented, with rare goods imported for a handsome profit, while exports tend to be made by factory. There is a service industry but most Dians aim to be self reliant or work with their kin groups.

Background

Ancient History

To be added

Recent history

During the Anti Psychic War the Almighty rose to the lead of the resistance. After a decade of struggle Shaimeng and proponents won the war. Shaimeng was installed as interim leader. Shaimeng was democratically reelected on a number of occasions with the population hailing him as a hero and g-dlike person. After some time he was elevated to Voice of the Almighty and given cult head like status. On advice of his brother he claimed total consolidated power and disbanded the electoral process to reduce waste and confusion. He then called for all to follow their hearts and make their own law. Civil wars raged until the fued system and a new democratic movement was installed. Since then ESSI the state security and intelligence service has gained more and more reach and in effect is a very loyal arm of Totus Fides Shaimengs personal army. There is constant war going on in ICCD but most are careful not to damage state property in the process as to do so would incur the rath of the state justisars an elite force of special forces officers trained specifically for fuedal combat.|

View of world affairs

Intracircumcordei is for interaction and trade and improving the global economy, improving human rights and civil capacities. It is non judgemental and veiws economy and human freedom as a priority. It is economically expansionistic and beleives in divine intervention for just causes. The borders themselves appear very isolationist as all trade and tourism is tightly monitored.

Only Officeres Lictor and above are acting on behalf of the state, this includes the Consuls of the Imperial provinces BUT NOT parliaments. Privy Councilors of the Provincial governments are the base of what would be considered 'citizens', as they have the right to communicate with the empire. A few other agents aslo are part of the Imperial State. Equestrians are regarded favourably and also have some general recognitions. What would be considered plebs are technically not 'free' and are 'subjects'.

the Senate) Likewise all other senators in other roles are on a peer basis in order outside their respective duties.

The Interior Division head (prime minister) prepares the Interior Agenda. Each divisional head details their own agenda finally The Govenor General reads

a summery and comments of the Imperial view.

Provincial Government

The Provincial Government is secondary to the state. The state is headed by Totus Fides the Voice of the Almighty equivical to Holy Emperor. The Government has a number of divisions but they are 'state' departments Interior, Exterior, Emergency Services and Sovereignty Affairs. There is a house of Lords, and a parliament (senate, and house of commons). Each Imperial Province has a seperate government, that is identical in composition (in algorythm) The various Government have a capacity to create the Senate and thus to place ceasars to head the Empire although essentially it is the Emperor who appoints many of the Senators especially the Consuls, however in general, it is staff of the Government ESSI division that end up in many of the Senatorial Roles, it is technically imposible for someone to be a senator without having served in the security forces, except in a case of bizarre exception, perhaps for financial Senators. The Empire is thus a theocratic dictatorship, with communistic tendancies, and a constitutional imperium. While the government is democratically elected and appoint but oversaw by an appointed commander that is part of the Imperium. The private businesses are very indepthly interactive with the state and the corporate heads are a form of aristocracy having fuedal like domains and private security forces.

Elections

Elections were banned by Totus Fides but later reinstated, however the government is by claim and allowance, as everyone has a right to fued or to represent the almighty, thus anarchy in some sense prevails from time to time as personal civil wars rage. Elections are not 'state' organized they are pubically organized by the government. They only hold true to who allows the parliament to take place and who is allowed to speak etc.. Although the govenor general has the capacity to side, especially on orders of the government Judicature.

The Legions

Officers Grade 16 and 17 form the operational leadership of the Imperial Legion and form a officers senate which is more so a 'war senate' or Joint Cheifs of Staff. Where as the Grand Joint Provincial Emergency Services Council is composed of all the provinces heads Emergency Services and thier subdepartments (H/I/S) The Govenors of course are 'consuls' and as such are memers of the Imperial Senate. It should be noted the operations and political divisions of the Imperial legion are in some respects independant. The Emperor has 'overall' command of the Imperial Command Staff where as only Imperial Legionaires in a specific province may take operations orders under the political leadership of a province, and only if they are allowed to do so by previous directive from the Senate, Ceasar or Emperor.

Imperial Command Structure

===Emperor=== IMPERIAL POLITICAL 4 Grade 27 Emperor (generally no one under the age of 60 + will be at this rank) (may hold office till 115) at which point they are given a permanent seat in the senate and act as imperial privy council (essentially the privy council of the empire, however they no longer, 'command' anyone.) the emperor is elected until age 115 by the Imperial Senate, must be a Ceasar, may retire at anytime, must serve ateast 1 year prior to retirement, and generally retirement is done on an annular basis, I.E.

So technically the Imperial House members who may not hold an actual 'government' position are able to exercise authority as members of the Imperial House, thus Imperial Properties are technically not part of the province they reside within, nor the administrative zones of a particular ceasar, in this respect the Emperor is both the Consul and Ceasar of Imperial House Property, with the provinces and administrative zones being 'special house property' where there is a 'house' for each area, thus each ceasar has their own house, whereby only the Emperor as head of the house has higher ranking than the ceasar who is second, the ceasars own house thus has imediacy within the zone, but the Emperor sets the Ceasar's house rules to require that their house is composed of members of ESSI, finally the provinces house is technicaly parliament and the government headed by the provinces two consuls or govenor general & imperial govenor are equally ranked as third in command of the Imperial House but only for their respective provinces, however the Imperial Council of Govenors in consensus would extend the scope of the Consuls reach to all of the Empire or atleast those areas in agreement, the Impeial Senate itself is all holders of the Imperium) (Do not 'officially' have executive powers except to stay actions or directives by lower ranked officers while on Imperial House Property of their designation.

Emergency Servics also is the branch of government that provides intelligence for the government (including the house of lords and thus the privy council) as well as providing health services for the government and emergency health services for the public. They also oversee every other branch of government including industry health (private health) and have powers to forcebly direct businesses or individuals in matters of state(national security). They in effect do not 'set' their own policies, as the Cheif of Emergency Services coordinates (strategizes) with Cheif of Security (Commander in Cheif of Security Forces) , Chief of Intelligence and Cheif of Health (Suregeon General) on directives given by the predient of the house of lords, the solicitor general, and the Lord High Chancellor (who in effect is the undersign to the govenor general in matters of the Judicariat and Soveriegnty affairs.)

the Cheif Commanders (Grade 17*subject to change officers) for overall management Emergency Services may at anytime order: Authorize use of Nuclear Biological or Chemical armaments, and set

contigencies for their use on preauthorization. Declare COG (in doing so suspend normal operation of government)

Services.

vexillationes. A miniature vexillum , mounted on a silver base is

awarded to officers as a recognition of their service upon different plataus in their carear, on completing their first year of service they get a certifcate, on completeing the Military Acadamy they gain a plaque, on compeleting the Imperial Military Acadamy they get a vexillum, on becoming a lictor they get their imperial vexillum crest, the badge of the secret service. Command staff each have their own Vexillationes, while Political have their assignment vexilliones, finally praetors hae thier Imperlal gaurd etc.. vexillationes, and of course it keeps going, and generally they get bigger as time goes on. Vexillationes is also a term for gaurentied government employment on retirement (after serviing atleast 5 years without being dishonourably discharged. (pension is paid even on dishonourable discharge) Officers who do not make it to command at age 38 get a choice of assignment in any given provience that has an opening for retraining and entry into any interior or secretariat post (that is not a political post i.e it is an imperial state post) Officers who do not complete the Imperial Miitary Acadamy are still allowed to work in government but are not gaurentied a posting. Also corporate sponsorships are also worked out for former Emergency Services Officers completing atleast 1 year of service security officer posts for a corporations etc..some officers also find themselves as hired mercenaries for wealthy individuals fueds. or work as unofficial police or bounty hunters.

Many officers especially the higher ranking ones are pilots in spare times, or own yatchs etc.. as pay at 30 times base pay for a lictor is equivlant to 20,000 x 30 or 600, 000 G$./annum. of course they need to buy most of their own equipment. Although they often have assigned equipment or access to an armory in thick combat situations i.e. involved very active warfare. (one must remember that 600,000 if spent works out to 600,000 * 1/5 back to the government through Goods and Services taxation (in some way or another, perhaps less) so their pay if spent is still around arond 480,000 G$ (out of the governments pocket) for every LICTOR. so 10000 lictors works out to 6,000,000,000 G$. although defence spending is reduced in some ways due to the Lictors required to keep themselves equiped. and receive a retirement pension of 1/20th or 30,000

All Imperial Command Staff have atleast one lictor gaurd 'even after retirement' (even if they have a family) (althought the joke being, if they didn't want one, it may be very posible for them to get rid of them), this is due to national security reasons, very high profile officers on retirement may have more than 1 Lictor assignment to them. You can never 'fully' retire from the service, but you can go on extended vacation in peacetime. Lictors and above are generously compensated for this any many go on to business carears as equestrians. retireing between 40 and 60 as millionaires, and somewhat protected from many fueds, especially assasination attempts. Often the government only gives government contracts to former Lictors and above, especially if confidential or classified projects.

10. Grade 17, in rare instances an admiral may be deployed on a ship this may be to oversee highly critical operations, or for safety reasons or some other reason such as directly delivering information or political reasons. There is only 1 admiral to each fleet, but they are generally at central command for the 'area' for which they are in command rather than out to sea. They are essentially the ones in command of the Navy and are the cheif operators/strategists for developing plans to follow the Political Officers directives. Ocassionally higher ranking Officers may be aboard a ship, however, this is generally only for political reasons, grade 18 and higher officers tend to be the type more to break a bottle on a ship than stand on one more than once. spend 1 or 2 month assignment / learning periods specific offensive capacity enabled by information superiority and total force networking.Gaurding Strategic naval resources(locations), sustaining access to contested littoralssea mines Integrated Undersea Warfare (IUSW-21) Intelligence Gathering projecting defensive firepower far inland. * Sea Basing to increase initial speed of introduction force deployment.

===The Governor in Council=== is the term for the Cabinet acting in a legal capacity. Ministry administed by prime minister and council with approval of governor general Where as parliament votes on change in the structure that establishes the ministries guidelines foundation and final approval is given by the govenor in council after being proofed by the senate (or edited / critqued and sent back down)

the Prime Minister and Ministers act pursuant to parliamentary authority and within limits laid down by Parliament and approved by the govenor as approved by the senate and the emperor..

All government activity must take place in accordance with the Imperial law and the provincial acts.

Ministers having any doubts on the legality of a particular action should ask their deputy minister and obtain the view of the Secretariat on Sovereignty

Affairs and the Judicature OR the Attorney General

The following key constitutional provisions or statutes impact on decisions and their implementation:

• The Constitution of Intracircumcordei

• Acts of Provincial Parliament

• The Public Service Guidelines

• The Tresury Guidelines

• Securty Clearance Procedures

• The Imperium Codex

Cabinet Decision Making

political considerations

strategic considerations

Provincial Budget

The Tresury Ministerpresents the government’s annual Budget which reflects the fiscal framework agreed to by the Cabinet. The President of the Treasury Board subsequently tables the Main Estimates. The Cabinet committee’s report is subject to confirmation by the Cabinet. Records of final decisions are circulated to all Ministers and their deputy ministers for action under Ministers’ individual authority. Policy announcements are made after a Cabinet decision and after the Treasury Board’s approval of any resources required to implement the decision.

Legislative Program

The Leader of the Government in the House of Commons coordinates the process of translating the Cabinet’s policy decisions into bills to be placed before the House of Commons.

The first stage in this process is Cabinet approval of a Minister’s policy proposal. After Cabinet has approved a Minister’s policy proposal, a bill is then drafted by the Attorney general under guidance of the Secretariat. Interpretations of the proposed bill can then be based to The Supreme Court and the House of lords as a commitee basis for discusion and interpreations. Finally the House can discus and then vote. If it involves only the interior ministry then the vote of the house and senate is sufficient. If it involves the exterior then a vote must be conducted by the exterior. Changes to the secretatiat or Emergency services or hte judicature must be approved by the govenor general as approved by the senate and the Emperor, if changing the structure or organization. Role of the Secretariat or Judicature or Emergency services within the interior may be modifed without full imperial consent but it cannot be ultravires Imperial Law on the Services as they are quasi-imperial rather then provincial in scope. The Exterior meanwhile can act independantly however the govenor general has final say in the use of the services in any foreign capacity however the president has authority to speak for the will and enter into alliances that must finally be approved via the Governor general and privy council of the house of lords upon agreement of the Emperor and the Imperial system, generally as an overisght or check on processes which may contravean the Imperial Commonwealth. .

The Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is supported in this regard by his or her own exempt staff, the Privy Council Office, and the Deputy House Leader and Chief Government Whip.

The Cabinet and Cabinet Committees

Cabinet committees are an extension of the Cabinet itself.

The Prime Minister may establish committees ?????????????/

Ministers may be invited by the committee chair to attend any meeting of a Cabinet committee, whether or not they are a member of the committee.

The Prime Minister designates certain Ministers as ongoing members of each committee, and they are expected to attend these regularly. If Ministers are not able to attend a meeting, they should inform the chair of their views on agenda items by letter.

administrative

Special Committeeof Council (SCC) in approving regulatory policies and regulations, and all Orders in Council, excluding appointments.

personnel

financial

financial resources to departments and programs.

organizational practices

===the Cabinet secretariat===, the Privy Council Office provides the Cabinet and its committees with the support required to prepare for and conduct meetings, including arranging meetings, circulating agendas, distributing documents, providing advice to the chairperson of each committee on agenda items and recording Cabinet minutes and decisions.

Orders in Council

are legal instruments made by the Governor in Council pursuant to statutory authority (or, infrequently, royal prerogative).  Recommendations to the Governor in Council are signed by the responsible Minister. They take legal effect only when signed by the Governor General.

====Cabinet documents==== belong to the Prime Minister. Cabinet documents are formal records designated by the Privy Council Office as belonging to the Cabinet Paper System. They include Memoranda to Cabinet (MCs), decks, Cabinet Committee Reports (CRs), records of decisions (RDs), agendas, aides-mémoire and documents prepared for Ad Hoc Cabinet Committees or Reference Groups of Ministers.

This category also includes formal Cabinet documents related to the Treasury Board and any sub-committees of Treasury Board, including submissions, précis, agendas, schedules, minutes of meetings and letters of decision.

Cabinet documents provided to them are always safeguarded in accordance with the security requirements set by the Privy Council Office or, for Cabinet documents related to the Treasury Board, to the Treasury Board Secretariat. Parliamentary Secretaries must also respect this protocol when they are given access to such documents. When a Cabinet item has been dealt with, the associated Cabinet documents must be returned to the Privy Council Office or the Treasury Board Secretariat, as appropriate.

Certain Cabinet documents that are clearly marked for Ministers’ eyes only cannot be reviewed by exempt staff. Some Cabinet documents must remain in the Cabinet room. Cabinet documents must not be photocopied, electronically scanned or sent by facsimile, and they must be carried in a secure briefcase. A record containing Cabinet confidences that is not a Cabinet document is either an institutional record (if it originated with the institution), or a ministerial record (if it originated with the office of the Minister, e.g., a briefing note containing political advice to a Minister regarding a Cabinet matter).

====Institutional Records==== relate to the business (policies, programs, activities and services) of the department and associated agencies, and are kept in a separate registry. Ministerial records include official records pertaining to the office of the Minister, other than records that fall into the categories of personal or political records, institutional records or Cabinet documents. Personal and political records are personal, as opposed to official, in nature (e.g., a Minister’s constituency business, party political matters, private and personal life) and are kept in separate ministerial files. Like ministerial records, personal and political records are normally excluded from the application of the Access to Information Act, provided that they are maintained separately from institutional records.

Ministers may remove only their personal and political papers. However, to ensure the security of sensitive documents in personal and political papers, Ministers should use storage facilities and archival services offered by Library and Archives Canada.

Former Prime Ministers have control over the confidences of the government they headed. When a change of government occurs, the outgoing Prime Minister traditionally leaves the Cabinet records of the government in the custody of the Clerk of the Privy Council. The Clerk of the Privy Council plays a central role in administering the convention governing access to Cabinet and ministerial papers.

Subject to any arrangements a former Prime Minister may make with his or her successor, former Ministers may have access to Cabinet papers for the period of time when they held office, but only for that period, and only to papers relating to that office or to which they would normally have had access. Requests for access are addressed to the Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary of the Cabinet

Access to Documents

Former Ministers may have access to ministerial records that are transferred to Library and Archives Canada on the premises of Library and Archives Canada. They may also have access to institutional records that were prepared in their departments during the period of time when they held office. For access to institutional records, they can contact the deputy minister and arrange to review them on departmental premises. Minister does not become involved in day-to-day operations of a Crown corporation, nor does his or her staff. Because of the wide range of activities carried out by individual Crown corporations, the appropriate role of the Minister must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

SENATE

Senators:

House of Commons

Members of Parliament

Speaker of the House of Commons

===Clerk of the House of Commons=== the chief clerk in the House of Commons The Clerk is the principal adviser to the Speaker on the House's privileges and procedures. The Clerk's other responsibilities relate to the conduct of the business of the House and its committees. The Clerk is also accounting officer for the House.

==The Legislative System== - Parliament or the house of lords (and extension of parliament) proposes policies The CAC is the body that elects parliament and may send laws to parliament for debate. Senators are nominated by the MP and finally decided by the PM finally approved by the govenor general..

INTERIOR DIVISION

Imperial Education

IHRD is one of the most structured and extensive ministries it phases into Emergency Services cadet core as military service is compulary starting at age 12, however, it is more like a guides, eagle scouts, first aid etc.. training then it is military training, although arms and equipment training does occur, nothing major though just lower grades skills training mostly grades 1 through 5, and generally it is only after puberty that the cadets branch transists to the security services, intelligence and health training. Those who can make intelligence or health in many ways phase out of 'military' service proper. No one is 'forced' the the IHRD program but very few do not. Every student learns a minimun of five languages one including a computer assembly language including binary (C like) and computer literary is eased by inexpensive laptop/minicomputers which double as cell/vid phones. The ongoing state of survival of the fitest and fueds leads to a very fit general population, and the food programs which see most food rationed, due to price stoppages to a certain point, few individuals pay the higher prices for post ration foods and very very few eat animal products which are generally tabooed and highly taxed. Much of ICCD's food surplus is sent into space. Education continues for life, with optional programs wholely government funded, with payment programs as an optional tax package. The education system in ICCD is for life and either it continues as government civil servants or ESSI or the private sector which corporations tend to continue their own training programs. Combat sports are a national passtime and casualty rates have created a medical body experienced in treating combat related injuries.

Literacy iteracy is extremely high in a number of languages.

Female - 100%

Male - 100% (it would be very rare to find anyone who is not fluent in one language let alone 4 or 5 or more.)

SOVERIGENTY AFFAIRS

Imperial Courts

The Court System There are three tiers of 'actual' state courts. The public courts,

popularly elected and operated by popular vote and qualification. The

Public justices council supreme electoral vote, and finally the supreme

court whose roles are appointed by an outgoing supreme justice under

the scruitiny of the govenor general.

arbitrator and mediators are allowed and the CAC divisions can have

their own personal courts or proclaim a fued. The courts are in effect

getting the state to support a side of a feud or mediate it. There are

no prisons in ICCD thus either the person or people will be killed sent

into exile or will have to defend themselves. Thus the court allows

communication and gathers information used by ESSI, and will enter a

fued if itself is implicated.

Appeals to the Second teir are allowable, however relocation of person

to a more allowable area may also be introduced. Finally the supreme

justice is for special cases where the state may need to be come

involved or protect the individual, or side with a fued on the state

level. The govenor general or Totus Fides may override or act as the

Supreme Judicary if so required.

Citizens may petition the Crown for removal of attainder.

JUSTICE SYSTEM

Througout the Empire there are two main justice courts

Justices of the Court of Common Pleas (all the empire incorporations

(shires)) - Liberties

Justices of the Court of Regents Bench ( Regencies (kingdoms,

principaities) ) (effectively the supreme courts) -Customs

Barons of the Court of Exchequer. (manages corporate law, and debt,

financial, civil law suits) (in which case the state will either

mediate or enter the fued) Lieutenant (proviences) -Franchises

there is also the nobels (lords) administered by the law lords of a

given govenment which mediate 'governmental law' impeachements and

other affairs They are free floating under the govenor general on the

government side, the govenor general in effect has the same powers of

the 7 law lords. Technically the law lords could impeach the govenor

general if allowed, as the govenor general can 'demote' or remove a law

lord, if that was the case then a new govenor general would have to be

appointed by the Emperor. The 7th law lord is always the Lord

Chancellor who oversees the High Court of Chancery, the Lord Chancellor

would determine cases according to fairness (or "equity") instead of

according to the strict principles of common law. "Keeper of the

Regents Conscience". and only votes in cases of a tie among the other

6. The lord Chancellor is elected from among the 7 law lords. one

cannot vote for themself, whoever has the most votes becomes lord

Chancellor. Afterwhich the vote is cast the Regent (be it govenor

general etc.. would then provide a letters patent)

Finally there is the imperial court, which is the state court, which is

headed by a number of individuals the Emperor having highest voice if

passing judgement. Otherwise the Cheif Justisar is the head of the

court. The court is also a council of sorts with the govenor generals

acting in a 'non voting' role. Effectively the Justisar is the deputy

to the Emperor.

The government collects 20% of markup in cost on goods and services

production (greed tax e.g. if it cost 5 cents to make a product and

9.95$ to get it to a store, and it sells for 15$ then the person

selling the item would be taxed 1$). All taxes go to the Tresury

Department of the interior. Governments running surplus add to the

Imperial tresury, governments running deficits take away from the

Imperial tresury. The Imperial tresury distributed itself among the

state vaults in protection by the govenor general of a regency. This

wealth includes all property etc.. as well. Depending on where the

resources exist will depend on who is distributing it. The imperial

tresury is the 'collective wealth of all regencies plus personal

holdings of the Empire. Govenor generals have the right to overturn

spending policies of the interior division tresury ministry of their

government. Likewise the Emperor can overturn the policies of a

governor general.

The supply and demand is calculated using the most up-to-date

information technology. Every purchase is recorded in the national

database which all businesses have access to. When consumption of a

particular good increases, the businesses makes arrangements to produce

more of that good.

Geothermal Energy

The Automotive Industry has produced ATV combat vehicles including

small trucks and jeep like vehciles, motocycles/scooters can be an

alterative inner city transport mode especially among the older

populatio although the scooters are at times like small golf carts.

The Public Transit system has has millions & millions of G$ poured into

it, and has deep under . ground mainlines connecting the major cities

of ICCD + underground subway like transit within the cities. The lines

themselves connect and use the same standard technology. Production and

repair of these systems has a small neiche market.There are a number of

'secure underground branches as well that are generally 'sealed' by

huge blast doors able to withstand the impact of the high speed train

used specifically for 'security purposes. There is an attempt to join

as many of the ESSI sites and secure IIS sites such as deep underground

mines and geothermal stations.

Underground mining systems are also highly supported, with a few

companies competing for the vast majority of contacts, there is a

deficit of mining equipment to project demands.

Aerospace has been extensively fueled by both private and public

projects. Security funding of space technology as of late has been the

prime drive, with declassified technologies enabling private industry

to be more capable, the general pickup by private industry has

increased the scope of knowledge and expertise within ICCD. A

partnership with the Space Technologists has largely sky rocketed the

capabilities of ICCD infusing them with greater capacities.

Shipbuilding (There is a small but highly geared ship building

initiative specifically organized by ESSI) the organization is actually

a subset to the space and aeronautics programs, but for 'water based'

atmosphere.

Underground & Underwater 'secret' facilities have been constructed.

These include mining and geothermal power stations as well as some

other sites. The bulk of the ICCD Navy is used for goods transport. And

is engineered to be a stealth force that is capable of short duration

high impact naval combat. Enought o win Naval Battles but not designed

for strategic naval warfare, it simple isn't large enough.

Social Welfare

the government has ensured the population is fed and offers universal welfare, setting up citizens with training they need to survive, usually this is in the way of them signing up to the security forces for a year, then if they are still not self suficient giving them work in a provincial government service training program such as Infrastructure Services, program agreement is optional but to be in the program and receive the welfare they must comply with the work program, which is relatively generous.

Senior citizens, often get taken to 'retirement communities in scenic areas, where they work for the government on special projects. They have even high standards at these retirment locations then average social welfare community housing.

Civil Rights

everyone has the right to manage their own affiarstake responsibility for themselves and act in accorance with their beleifs as the will of the almighty.

Everyone has the right to pursue Life, Liberty and Happiness. The Right to Bear Arms== Every individual citizen has the right to keep and bear arms. Firearms and blade weapons are described as such arms allowed.

Citizenship

One may be considered a citizen if they accept the constitution. Citizens may run for imperial office To be a citizen resident(provincial resident), one must gain residence in a territory or serve as a praetorian gaurd in a given province. Continued residence is required to keep the status. Only imperial citizens may be citizen residents. Otherwise they are 'residents' which do not confir the same rights.

ICCD is a very orderly society with a population self righteous in their beliefs. In the recent past many indivudals were abducted and ferreted out of the population creating a very unifed social system. Still some would fight about anything, implementing a survial of the fitest mentality. By the time univeral military service came around many already had taken self defence training and purchased their own weapons as legalized for home defence. The 'civl war' known as the urban rural war, caused many to buy newly rolled out light combat vehicles for out of urban center travel. The state itself worships nature and animals, treating them more respectfully than other humans, and actually has trained lions to perform roles in society, and many houses have lions as pets and house gaurds. The green belts are maintained by anti land development policies, and most construction has been forces underground. It is not known how many underground consturction sites exist but it is beleived billions and billions of gold standards have been to date poured into the developments, including an underground high speed rail system and rumoured, a long range canal.

There was an antipsychic and anti foreigner sentiment in Intracircumcordei, after the antipsychic wars and the victory of the psychics and the purges (who would have predicted that..) the antipsychic groups disipated and something similiar to anti semite backlash came into effect. The antiforeigner sentiment has changed flavours with the popularized show Who wants to be a citizen, which has refugees struggle through highly defended border areas in a 'running man' like scenario aided by modern technologies. The few that have made it through have been regarded as equals in any right if not stars. Passing the sentiment that foreigners are good people too and they like any other deserve the glory of citizenship. Also new trade and other compacts are seeing more Dians go to other countries lightening the previous xenophobic tendancies. Dians are still appalled by bullying or unfair uses of force against otherwise good people.

There are both private and public media sources Alternative power sources are of interest however, the government garners allot of power from it's nuclear fission reactors. The public largely uses pubic transit incuding extremely high speed underground 'rail like' transit systems. Others mostly rural travelers utilize predominately armed and armored vehicles for travel due to both ongoing fueds and the country side having a history of being a place of bandits, athough this has reduced somewhat, the temperment of Dians has largely seen the vast majority of private vehicle owners investing in their vehicles, this includes personnel defences.

Peoples Name

Intracircumcordeians or short form Deians

Main Social Groups

The three main divisions in society are the statists, the corporatists, and the underground. The statists work for the government which is in essence the biggest corporation with the biggest personal army and the most public support, selling services and accepting donations from the public. They gain most of their power by a 20% tax of all trade be it a service or a good from the increase of sale on the creation cost. The corporations are very powerful, and have at times jointly successfully lobbied the state for specific services. Generally if the corporate councils ask for something the state oblidges. Finally the underground is a loose network of individuals living in hiding due to being either hunted by private fuedal bodies or being 'infected' with an unallowed trait such as VODAIS. Most of these individuals try to reestabish themselves and 'the underground' in essance is the second single most powerful corporation. They were the main forces of the urban rural wars, however in reality they are headed by a ESSI deepagent. VODAIS in part was exagerated to fuel secret training programs and to infiltrate the underground branches more deeply. The Deians are deeply spiritual and some are said to posses psychic abiities. Those that spoke out against the psychic influences were mostly the target of the 'secret' purge which the state claimed not be be involved in. A sect of 'evil' psychics is behind the purges and has yet to be uncovered. They arn't psychic just highly political and the purges in addition to being a private war against their enemies using the same tactics that were used against them was also a means to 'abduct' other psychics to introduce to their secret society. There were however legitimate mob attacks on some unliked individuals and that is the cover that was pursued.

In general the the culture is very agressive and opinionated but most people know where the lines are for what they can say or do, especially those that do not wish to start a brawl out of no where, espcially when shopping or driving. The government dramatically has maintained an approval rating of 90+% for the last two elections. Even though thousands of individuals annually run for office in the centralized pubic government.

The first 18 years of life are solid dedication to education and sports, much of the youths time is consumed by Human resource development requirements, with breaks every so often that tend to be social and vacation times, to the beaches and for those fortunate enough to tourist sites. At age 18 individuals make their most important choices wether to be corporate or state. Generally the wealthiest youth NOT the children of government officials become corporate following in their family business footsteps, where as the vast majority enter into Emergency Services training program level 1, which is esentially infantry training, all government employees are required to complete this 1 year program after which they may apply to work for any imperial provincial government. The ministries have their own training programs provided by HRD including HRD's HRD program. However, individuals may also decide to stay with emergency services in the Health Apprentiship program, or With the secuirty forces. The Intelligence service is reserved for Security forces officers of atleast completed the Imperial Military Acadamy, and thus are a previous member of the imperial gaurd. Rank then starts over in the intelligence branch but advancement is 'vacancy' based by appointment, with the individual most qualified filling the role rather then, generalized requirement fullfillment based ranks, much like the highest levels of the security forces.

There are deep social ties among the people and most communities especially after the purges have gained a sense of unity. Rural areas are mostly tranquil, while urban areas are kept quite peaceful by constant monitoring by ESSI..

Plans:

The way in which we would implement this is through our foreign corporations.

You see our rising population would like to access new resources and ideas and expand ourselves to new areas. To do this we not only need to move to new places but tap into already existing human resources in these areas. If we are the ones to organize the reeducation of these groups then we will be better positioned to be seen as the parties to which these resources are given to be developed and garnered for our assistance. Those we train will hopefully be integrated into our corporate missions we can keep the best of them for relocation or for native placements. All the meantime developing the resources and improving our relations. Voting ended on this resolution some time ago though.. We in our own areas have insured that our children receive information technology education including as one of our 5 langauges taught, a computer language.

Although it is hard to control the entire population we do not force anything we make available. Our cellular systems are the main access point for our internet services however some hardwired locations exist. We have provided minicomputers to all our citizens in IES. There are no copyrights in ICCD as such all software is open-source software, freeware

The state runs information services and orgaizes civil forums for infrmation exchange and expertise as well as runs AI servers that assist for free. We are willing to sell and organize development of all our technologies that are not considered national security risks.We as a wealthly economically healthy state are willing to broker deals, giving resources, and money, for leases of land, resource contracts, or employment contracts in addition to many other options.

-==community, business and personal services;==
+Most of the construction enterprise is done via underground mining. Very few skysrapers are made instead deep structures are made or underground systems.
+==transportation, storage and communication==
+Transport is done via the very well funded transportation system and Dians tend to be very proud and keep fueds away from damaging the transport systems. There is a major highspeed underground rail system. Wireless communication is prevalent; however, there is still a large number of cable VOIP landlines, especially underground compelexes which transfer the discusion to a communications antena.
+==electric power, gas and water utilities==
+Thermal and Fussion systems are the primary sources of energy, with solar being a close third. Natural Gas is highly exploited and used in a variety of systems, including clean burning autos, methane is a close second since it is largely produced from human waste, however is used more for heating and cooking. Drinking and cooking water is generally privately handled while waste water and distrobution is both privately and community handled generally on a business coop level. Rainwater is highly used as well as personal wells and resevoirs.
