The Serene^Union of Kaenei (Pronounced "Key-neigh") is a Technocratic Aristocracy based upon an island landmass in proximity to the Arctic Circle of Earth, upon the Jovian moon of Europa and also upon "The Ring" within Saturnian space. The nation is fundamentally alien in almost every facet of its society and existance, despite being primarily centered upon the cradle of Humanity and producing the bulk of its six billion plus citizens within the Sol system. The Serene^Union practices blanket isolationism, and vehemently avoids involvement in international politics unless unavoidable or otherwise adventageous without significant opposition. Exceptions to this policy come in the form of being signatories to The Triumvirate of Yut, as well as the Non-Democratic Alliance.

History

Main article: History of Kaenei

What is now known as the Serene^Union came into existance almost five centuries ago, when the individual Kaeneian settlements (themselves directly assembled from the majority of the starships which had borne them on their journey from Solarri to Earth) which had grown over the course of some decades into Provinces, unified under a central power-sharing authority. The following five hundred years spent then integrating the various governmental departments and authorities which safeguard and discharge their duties over the populace to this day.

Government

At a basic level, the national government of the Union consists of semi-autonomous provinces with substantial self-governance, united under an unelected authoritive body. This body contains a legislature, juidiciary and executive.

The government of the Union is fundamentally undemocratic. There exists a national parliament which serves only an advisory role and weilds no actual power. Elections considered in any way, shape or form- Do not take place. For this reason, the Union is considered an autocracy. The Union's government is also unusual in that there is no effort to enact seperation of the varying departments of rule. The legislatur, judiciary and executive (known internally as "Facets of Governance") are united within the Council of The Aengelistoria Dominica. The concept of "Checks & Balances" is inherently impossible to implement.

Executive Facet

The Executive Facet of Governance is perhaps the most instantly recognisable of the three blurred boundries. The Aengelistoria Dominica Council itself is comprised of senior Kaeneians of the Union whom have risen through the political ranks of their respective offices.

Department Overseer Description
DS
Defence Solarri
Christansin Meridaa The controlling centre for all extra-solar colonies and the combined space-borne fleets of the Serene^Union, an Interstellar navy of sorts. They are expressively prohibited and forbidden from controlling or maintaining signifcant Kaeneians-at-arms.
DT
Defence Terra
Vorsol Kindago The controlling centre for all Earth-based military and personnel, and the department overseeing manpower directly. They are expressively prohibted and forbidden from controlling or maintaining orbital or trans-system transport of any signifcance.
DS
Department Scientia
Farii Metrasci The controlling centre for scientific study, research and analysis. The Scientia has further specialised segments which are closely involved with their respective sister-departments; Military, Medical and otherwise stated.
IA
Internal Administration
Zaetti Forsouth This governmental department is by far the most mammoth and sprawling of any other facet on the council -- For its mandate is expansive and truly all-encompassing covering such divergent responsibilites as the national power grid and the botanical maintenance of city parks.
ID
Intelligence Directorate
Vitras
FEA
Office for Foreign and Extra-Solar Affairs
Riordan Likonesse The controlling centre for affairs out with the territory of the Serene^Union, and central point of contact for non-Kaeneian enquires and requests.In recent years, with the shroud of isolationism being pulled back this department has risen from mere technical existance to vital point-of-contact for any number of senior Kaeneians and their respective offices.
UOM
Union of Medicine
Viktoria Annabel The controlling centre for medicine. Includes research, implementation and operation of the nationwide health system.
OML
The Office for the Maintenance of Law
Supreme Justicar Henchoz Charged with ensuring the continued obediance of all to the code of conduct [Law] of Kaeneian society as a whole; also responsible for the entirety of the national court system and having partial juristiction over the Grand Court of the Union [See Judicial Facet] whose Supreme-Justicar is also the Office leader.
Supreme-Overseer
In essence, a department head and one of the most senior positions in the Serene^Union. A Supreme-Overseer claims a seat within the Aengelistoria Dominica and is considered the total authority in his or her field of expertise. Due to the draining nature of such a lofty position they are rarely actively involved in the day-to-day running of their department.
Grand-Overseer
Technically subordinate to the Supreme-Overseer in terms of placement, to all intents and purposes a Kaeneian of this position is the ultimate controlling point of his or her department- Actively assuming all facets whilst their superior is essentially devoted to the servitude of the Aengelistoria Dominica.
Overseer
At this stage of government, the overall assumption of duty ceases. Departments further fracture into sub-sections, an example being the Defence Terra which breaks into the Armed Forces, Naval Forces and Air Forces. Overseers consequently take charge of one facet of these newly fractured departments- Continuing to report to their relevant superior.
Master-Adept
The direct junior of the Overseer. It is this position that deals with the majority of the logistical work which is created by the decisions of the Overseer, and it is the Master Adept’s task to implement these changes as they are decided upon. They also carry status as advisors to the Overseer, as they are usually well versed in their field.

The true Executive power of the Aengelistoria Dominica however rests with two senior positions; that of the Kaeneian Head of State, The Governor-General and their immediate deputy the Overseer Aengelis.

Governor-General of the Serene^Union
[Currently Sophia Byzainti ] - Arguably the most senior position in Kaeneian society, the Governor-General is selected from amongst the heads of department to serve five year terms in which they shall, together with the Overseer Aengelis hold final veto or assent over the decisions of the council at large. Furthermore in the event of non-specified emergency and with the support of the Overseer Aengelis and at least one department head the Governor-General can assume total executive control of the Serene^Union.
Overseer Aengelis
[Currently Kristilanna Lgealis ] - In ages passed this position was directly responsible for overseeing all military aspects of the Serene^Union, and ensuring sufficient safeguards were in place to prevent abuse or circumvention of the will of the Council. In more modern times, it has instead become the centre of power for all Kaeneian affairs outside of the cradle of Humanity- Recent legislation passed founding the base of the Overseer Aengelis upon the ice fields of the Jovian Moon Europa, and assisting to spread the populace between two central points. Along with the Governor-General in possession of a grand veto and assent. In cases of disagreement the Governor-General may overrule but cannot use this power more than three times during any given administrational year.

Legislative Facet

The Facets of the Executive and Legislative are extremely difficult to seperate at first glance, though closer study reveals it an unequal partnership that favours the former quite considerably and the latter with virtually no voice or leverage in said equation.

The Serene^Union is divided into regional Provinces granted considerable autonomy in matters of non-national legislation, eight in total, these being in order of size and population; Solarri, Byzantineri, Khandrisii, Xirithias, Fortuna, Meridiaa, Xiana and the Northern Fortresses. Each Province is further sub-divided into Regions, of which the number is not fixed and can vary considerably from one area to another.


The ultimate head of any Province is the Governor (Full title: Provincial Governor Supreme, of the *Named Province* and regions contained therein) whom is appointed by a Committee of the Aengelistoria Dominica and typically staffed by those specifically selected by said body for their experienc
