History

The Rise and Fall of the Raata Empire

In around the 1200s,the Raata Empire had risen to power by force with the help of the Isuuaya Corporation. The First Emperor, Raata I, was a powerful and wise ruler who was able to harness the power of space travel. He was able to establish intersteller Trade and was also able to re-discovered how to construct jumpgates. However, after Raata I's reign, the empire had separated into eight smaller regions, each governed by a major corporation.

The Dark Ages and the Rise of the Current Corporations

Between the late 1200's and thru to the early 1500's, trade had declined, leadership landed in the hands of the CEO's of the emerging corporations and commucation between these 'corporation fiefdoms' also declined. These were rough times, the Caldari population decreased as food production was devastated by many failures as they were only able to produce enough to substain their fiefs citizens and that was all. The jumpgates started to also feel the pain as they become in disrepair and warmongering corporations attacked each other. To simply put it: this was a chaoic time and the people were unsure as what was going to happen next.

The Formation of the Caldari State and the Rise of the CEP

In the 1500's, after some 250 years after the collapse of the Empire, the territories of the Old Raata Empire formed the Present Day State. Each of the 8 major corporations, who governed their own fief, formed the Chief Executives Panel. After several failures at colonizing and expanding the State to other worlds, they began to bicker among themselves, almost causing the Chief Executive Panel to go into discord and destroy everything they have worked for but the CEO of the Lai Dai Corporation, Vemei Danjon, suggested that they elect someone as President for Life. And so they did. After that day, trade and commerce prospered and the State became very wealthy and technologlly-advanced. It was at this time that the Gevon Wars broke out.

The Gevon Wars

The Gevon Wars were bleak times for the State along with the Federation of Allied Nations. Up to this point, this has been one of the largest conflicts the region has ever seen. In the end, the Armed Republic of Gevon became a protectorate and territory of the Caldari State as well as the Typophilean Democratic Concordance. Complete Details on the three Wars are at the link provided below.

Caldari-Tzen Cold War

The Caldari-Tzen Cold War was a dark and mysterous time where spies on both the Caldari and Tzen sides tried to take over each plans and technology. Both sides came very close to open warfare several times, but every time, they worked out an accord to halt the war temporaly. However with the Breakout of the Pandora War, a temporay peace was called between the Chief Executives Panel and the Tzen Republic. However, after this truce was signed, both sides still held a grudge against each other and they still do today.

The Gevon Crisis

The Caldari State Today

The State is one of the largest empires in the region, consisting of eight colonies and two special colonies. The Caldari State Armed Forces were still on the cutting edge of weapons technology and they continue to brag they have the most powerful military in the region. Crime was almost been totalled destroyed but internal terrorism has increased and decreased in the last few months.

As of March 2nd, 2006; President Yakiva Tovia-Toba died and in his dying request he asked for the nation to turn into a democracy with a plutocratic twist. The Democratic Plutocracy was born. The Democratic Plutocracy has had realitive peace for the last few months, but a certain level of corruption has started to slowly be seen and there is a possibly conspiracy no one knows about...

Caldarian Gevon is the southern half of the defunct Armed Republic of Gevon. The Jewel of Caldarian Gevon is the metropolis of Hong. Hong has been and always will be the largest city in the south. Other cities in Caldarian Gevon include the port cities of Lito, Heilit, Huxingchang and Sujian.

The capital of Caldarian Gevon, New Hong is dominated by the heavily-protected Caldari Adminstration Tower which is the bastion of Caldari authority, built ontop of the now-destroyed palace of Lord Gerald. Victory Plaza is in front of the Adminstration Tower and it is where the Caldari Forces knocked down the statue of Gerald and replaced it with the flag of the Caldari State, signaling the Caldari victory in the 2nd Gevon War.

In the qaint coastal city of Lito, you can vist the naval yards as well as the Museum of Gevon Past, which is the only suriving building containing past Gevonian laws and artifacts from the time when the Caldari Army sieged the city and almost completely obliterated Lito.

However in the industrialized port city of Heilit, you can board one of the many cruise ships and take a trip up and down the Gevonian coast or eat a lobster on the Boardwalk in the Southern City Zone. Heilit is the major industrial production center for Caldari State and its widely reconized as one of the most profitable industrial towns in the entire State.

Caldarian Gevon is pretty much a modern Orwellian demi-state, controlled by the Caldari State, riots and civil discontent are a fact of life in the South and Civil Protection maintain absolute order in the cities, keeping citizens in line through the use of intimidation and physical force - ranging from random beatings, questioning and "inspections," to outright murder. The Ministry of Truth constanly feeded propaganda to the people via the numerous telescreens through the cities and this keep the people in line for the most of the time except for the occational dissent who is vaporized and is never heard from again.

The Crown Colonies

The Crown Colonies of the Caldari State include UCP, Corporate Sector, TerranCorp, Daalai and the newly-established colony of Rhan Var. The Caldari State has the absolute right to call upon the colonies to allot military and economic assistance at anytime. They cannot seperate from the State for any reason or circumstance. They are allowed in exchange for their eternal connection to the State, there own internal governments to run their day-to-day affairs but the Caldari State has the sole right to control their foreign polices as the State sees fit.

The Caldari State Armed Forces

Army

The Caldari State is a well-trained and disipled army which is able to combat anything in any envioment which is required. Their primary weaponry include the DC-6 Blaster Rifles and they will used their other gizmos and gagets given to them to stop the enemy at all costs. They are supported by all-terrain walkers, combat walkers (like the Goliath) and advanced tanks (The Leviathan Battle Tank). Several other divisions of the Caldari Army which include the Seatroopers, the Snowtroopers, the DesertCorps and the Caldarian Legionaires. Recently, the Ministry of War created the Terminator Space Marines, gentically-modified soldiers, perfect soldiers for any condition.

Caldari Space Navy

The Caldari Navy is the one of the bigger parts of the armed forces. They have more battleships than any other fleet and the average age of the Caldari ships is considerably less. This is because the Caldari are constantly replacing their oldest ships with newer ones, with better hi-tech equipment. The strategic doctrine of the Caldari Navy is simple: to be able to defeat any other navy in the world. Most experts believe it is. Several capital ships used by the Caldari State included the Leviathan-Class Titan,the Dominator-Class Dreadnaught, the Titan-Class Destroyer and the Pluto-Class Battleship. The StarfighterCorps and Tactical/Intellegence are two other branches of the Navy.

Caldari Surface Navy

The Caldari Surface Navy (CSSN) has not seen much improvement as the Caldari Space Navy, but they still have more battleships than other Imperial fleets but the ships also have a shorter lifespan, since the Admirality continually replace their older ships with more advanced versions.

At the moment, the CSSN are mainly made up of Cowardly naval ships, but the Admiralrity hope that the Ministry can allot some funding into the possiblity of a newly-developed ship that can improve and expand Caldari sphere of influence on the high seas.

Caldari Secert Service

The Caldari Secert Service is the Intellegence arm of the Ministry of War because they have spies everywhere and have eyes and ears in most nation's internal archives. They are also very elusive and they are the masters of concelment and spying. The CSS can be concidered the Caldari State's secert police, who oppress and terimnate anyone who speaks openly against the State or the Board of Directors. The CSS also are masters of the Mind Control Technology and they are very secertive in terms of explaining how it works and how its built.

The Caldari Secert Service also has several smaller branches, which make up the major secert police in the Caldari State, however these cannot be released. Few people see ether group as they work in the shadows and those who have, have not been seen again.

The Home Guard and Civil Protection

The Home Guard is responsible for protecting the borders of the State from terrorism and other external threats. They are also connected to the Directorate of Police and their job is pretty much the border patrol as well as a first defense for the State if it was invaded.

Civil Protection, referred to in brief as CPs, and also commonly known as Metro Cops, police inner-city areas and keep citizens in line through the use of intimidation and physical force - ranging from random beatings, questioning and "inspections," to outright murder. They are controlled by the Directorate of Police and are found more in the special colonies of Caldarian Gevon as well as Caldarian Sushiia and Saba.

Government

A state built on corporate capitalism, the Caldari State is run by a few mega-corporations which divide the state between them, controlling and ruling every aspect of society. Each corporation is made up of thousands of smaller companies, ranging from industrial companies to law firms. All land and real estate is owned by a company which leases it to the citizens, and government and policing are also handled by independent companies.

Although this gives the corporations dictatorial powers, they are just as bound by Caldari customs and laws as the individual, and the fierce, continual competition between the corporations ensures a healthy, consumer-based social environment, which benefits everyone.

Chief Executives Panel

The Chief Executive Panel is a political entity jointly owned and run by the Caldari mega corporations. The CEOs of the mega corporations sit on the board of the Panel and make sure the mega corporations don't go overboard in competing with each other, smoothing over potential conflicts before they escalate out of control. In a sense, the CEP is the Caldari State's Senate and makes final rulings in terms of foreign policy and declarations of war.

The People's Conclave

The People's Conclave is made up of repersentives of the citizenry of the Caldari State which was just recently established. The people who hold seats in the Conclave are elected in. Delegates are from all over the State from Caldarian Gevon to the outlandish colonies of Rhan Var and Rex Abyssio. The Speaker of the Conclave is elected by the delegates of the Conclave and confirmed by ether the President or by the Chief Executives Panel.

The Conclave has no control over the legslation of foreign policy or declaring war. Their primary focus is the enacting of domestic or national issues. These issues range from welfare relief to universal healthcare. However, this is the primary location for the corruption of the State, so say the plutocrats.

Ministry of War

The Ministry of War has control over all the Armed Forces of the State including the Army (including the Caldarian Legionaries and Terminator Space Marines), the Space Navy, the Surface Navy, the Home Guard (Directorate of Police) and the Caldari Secert Service (CSS). They can only moblize forces with consent from the President or from the Chief Executives Panel.

Ministry of the Interior

The Caldari Ministry of the Interior is the central internal affairs bureau which consists of hundreds and hundreds of major and minor departments which range from the Department of Health and Cloning Services to the Department of Finance to the Department of Welfare. In a sense, the Ministry of the Interior is the large bureaucracy of the State, although usually overlooked by the Chief Execuitves Panel.

Ministry of Truth

The Caldari Ministry of Truth is the propaganda arm of The State. It concerns itself with the media and all forms of relaying information to the general populace, controlling what the populace can know and what should not know. Several departments include for example Records (Controls and Recifies Caldari History). Another department is Censorship, which deletes from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized by the CSS and therefore are considered never to have existed.

Inside the Ministry, there are huge printing-shops and their sub editors, there are typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There is an tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents are stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies are destroyed.

The Ministry of Truth mainly works within the confines of Caldarian Gevon, bring Gevon's past into the Caldari State's present and future.

Caldari Business Tribunal

The Caldari are not want to bicker over lost deals or ruthless competition, but when they do, this is the place they come to. The tribunal is the only organization within the Caldari State authorized to cancel deals or agreements made between companies. The Tribunal also hear civilian cases as well and swiftly annouces its verdict, usually these are torture, execution or exile.

The House of Records

The fragmentation of the Caldari government has often proved to be problematic when it comes to documenting events, deals and communications. The House of Records was set up by the Caldari mega corporations to act as a central source for all this information. Information on all transactions, business deals and governmental involvements within the State must be sent here and are stored in huge data banks. The House of Records is the largest facility of its kind and contains all the records and files on Caldari citizens as well as officials.

Society

The Caldari State offers its citizens the best and the worst in living conditions. As long as you keep in line, do your job, uphold the laws and so forth, life can be fairly pleasant and productive. But for those who are not cut out for this strict, disciplined regime life quickly becomes intolerable. They lose their respect, family, status, everything, and the only options left to them are suicide or exile.

Their is a giant break in weath distrubution between the CEO's and major officers and the everyday citizen. Most people live in moderate flats which have slighty high rents but overall they are pretty good and more and more flats are built everyday. On the other side of the scale, the CEO's and high ranking officials live in luxurious penthouse and sometimes their own skyscrapers. Taxes are though the roof as everyone, even officials pay them, although most citizens disagree as to why the rates are high.

Social Classes

The Caldari social classes are very strict and its very hard to elevate from one to another, but it is very easy to drop down classes. The three important classes are the Corporates, the Working and the Poor. A fouth is foreigners but they don't fit within usual Caldari culture. The corporates enjoy wealth, they are the kings and queens of wealth and they show that in everything they build and make for the rest of the State. Corporates are in charge of all government posts, making the split between them and the working class very clear. The Working Class mans and works in the corporate factories and plants and make up a large propotion of the Caldari population. While we can see the first two classes clearly in Caldari society, you do not see many poor or poverty-stricken people. The people who make up the poor class recievie government pay checks as well as free food grants.

Social Classes by Population
Corporates      10.00%
Workers         85.00%
Poor            5.00%          

Ethnic Groups

The Dentis symbolizes the Caldari State in every way, as they are efficent, hard-working and duty-filled. The Dentis are usually found in posistions of authority, both in administration and in the military, something that suits their temperment very well. The Civere provide the backbone of the Caldari State. They are cool, level-headed and relentless in their approch to fighting. Both of these ethnic groups were native to the State at the time of the Raata Empire. The Achura has been part of the State for three millenia since the rise of the Raata Empire. Yet the Achur have always remained a mystery to others. Hailing from the inhospitable Saisio steppes in the northern lands, the Achur are as reclusive and introvert as one can be and still parkate in national affairs. Intensely spiritual, the material world holds little interest to the average Achur. Achur pilots have been few and far between in the past but the recent sacrilege of their homeland prompted them to take to the State in greater numbers. Currently the Achuran Nationalist Party, headed by Naoko Onamori runs the State as President. Two minorities of the State are the Jei Mei and the Intaki peoples.

Ethinc Groups by Population

Civere        10.00 billion
Dentis        4.50 billion
Achura        2.25 billion
Jei Mei       1.3 billion
Intaki         .6 million
Other          .533 million

Culture

The Caldari State is regarded as an semi-oppresive, hard-working and war-loving people, who wish to live as long as they can and live their lives to the fullest extent. Many Caldari believe, that although having fun and leisure is important, working is also very important, and many believe that hard work will lead to a succesful life. They do believe in absolute perfection, as it is possible. The wealth of a person is considered to be exteremly important, as many believe it is a reward given when one works hard enough in life. Wealth also is used to determine the social class your in (See Part 5).

The Caldari citizenry have some freedoms but they have no substancial poltical right but they have outstanding economic rights which allow free enterprise but not so much to infringe on the rights of other megacorporations. They will also accept some peoples and species of all races, beliefs, and cultures as long as they stick to the laws and traditions of the State.

The population likes ceremonies and military parades that will make them patriotic and nationalistic of their country and its glorious heritage. Military parades shows the populace that their nations does in fact have the one of the grestest militaries in the region. Their are also cultural parades, like during the the Caldarian New Year (April 13th-April 19th).

To control their more aggressive habits, the Caldari organize a variety of sporting activities, most of which involve some form of violent competition such as gladiatorial matches. Betting on these competitions is very commonplace, so much so that gambling has evolved into one of the larger enterprises in the Caldari state.

Official Languages

The Caldari State has 2 official languages. These official languages are Caldanese and English. Caldanese is a combination of Japanese, Chinese and Icelandic and its used only in everyday life. English is used like the rest of the region, however this is only used to discuss foreign policy and regulate trade with other nations. Primarly, English is only spoken within the government. Aproximentally 18.00 Billion speak Caldanese while the Gevonians, who number around another 1.3 billion, only speak English and have no desire to learn the Caldari language.

Entertainment

The people of the State, as with other places, have numerous hobbies and activities in which they engage to entertain themselves. The video game and computer industries in the Caldari State are expansive and some of the most lucrative market sectors, at the same time providing entertainment to countless citizens of the nation. Visual entertainment forms are also quite expansive in the forms of movies and television. Currently, the most popular forms of these are those presented in an animated medium or in a science-fiction of fantasy setting. If asked for a reason for this, the locals will frequently reply that focusing on the fantastic, both in terms of story and medium, provides more inventive and creative works.

The Holo-Movies are a very populur entertainment as they show features in all dimentions, usually in 5D. Popular genres include State, Foreign, Historic, War and Popular. State movies basically are shows broadcasting propaganda to the masses, to make them more loyal to the State. Their are not many foreign movies and the CEP have censored several hundreds of movies they deem, non-patriotic. Historic and War movies are propaganda in a way but in theory, teach the little people of their past and what cause the State to be the superpower that is in this day and age. Popular movies are shows that people really, really enjoy and will see anytime they feel like it. The most popular films in the State after the end of the 2nd Gevon War were "The Fall of Almasy" and "The Siege of Hong".

Since the Ascension of President Onamori, the media has been opened up slowly and rapidly to the people, however the nation still regulates the major newspapers, radio stations and television networks.

Music

Music is another popular form of entertainment. Egonics are a Caldari specialty and they are based on the tastes of what people like. The range is large between modern jazz to futuristic rock and roll. Egonics are based on DNA samples, social status and many other ways. Music is broadcasted to the Egone over wavelength, similar to radio, so in effect every Egonics customer is listening to his own personal radio station, playing only those songs he likes and has paid for.

Education

Education is important to any great and proud Caldari citizen. You will find hundreds of schools and universities, each specializing in a different field of trade or level of higher understanding. Children who graduate from the primary State program and do not go on to the special colleges and universities usually 99% of the time join the military via the State War Academy, the launching point of several historic military figures including Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba.

All Caldari children at the age of five begin attending a primary education facility where they are taught how to write, read, calculate basic mathmatics and its the first year the children are exposed physical education. Allowing the children to be exposed to physical education allows them to think like a Caldari soldier and commando. Once the children have reached the Secondary level of education [Freshmen Year of High School], they will be taught higher levels of Math including Algebra, English, Ancient and Modern History (both of the State and that of the region and world), Chemistry, Biology, Foreign Language as majors. Its at this time that students can choose optional electives in the arts and proformance arts. During the second and third years, students will continue to learn primary majors including English, Mathmatics, National Military History, Foreign Language and Life Sciences. Once students graduate from the primay network, they should know English, higher forms of mathmatics including trignometry and calculus; All histories, sciences, foreign language and other levels of educations.

Sports

Sports in the Caldari State are unusually combative, largely composed of wrestling, boxing, martial arts, warfare, and fencing. The largest sport, however, is known as Combat. This sport takes multiple forms with multiple sets of rules depending upon the variant. However, what it consists of is the combatants using weapons, composed of foam for safety issues, and shooting each other with them in battle. These weapons must conform to certain restrictions put in place for both playability and safety. Weapons generally take the form of stun rifles. Each player is responsible for keeping track of the damage they recieve, with different damage having different effects. Players who are dishonest about taking damage, as determined by the heralds, can be barred from the leagues though this is the rarest and least used punishment. In a way, Combat is like laser tag, as it builds charcther and improves people's training and wepons handling for the armed services.

Combat, as mentioned above, comes in a variety of forms. Large battles, frequently consisting of upwards of a thousand people on each team, are seldom used in tournaments for league purposes beyond having a good time due to the difficulty of analysis of individual performance. Smaller teams have different leagues, dependent upon team size, weapons, location, and other factors, which contain individual ranking systems. The other major form of tournament Combat is dueling, which, as the name implies, is one-on-one combat. As with team battles, multiple leagues exist for duelists with independent ranking systems. The sport is also widely used recreationally as it is accessable to almost any age.

Religion

The Caldari State has no state religion as they don't put any money into the Religion Ministry as its a department that doesn't exist. During the rule of Raata I, he declared that seperation of church and state must happen and so it did. To this day, Religion has not come into play in State poltics.

Economics and Industries

The Caldari State is home to one of the largest manufacting and production facilities in the entire Federation. Some of the major industries include gambling, armaments manufacturing, food production, mining and starship construction.

Gambling

The Caldari State has the largest gambling sector in the region and you can find a casino on almost every planet and spaceport thoughout the State. Major games that are played include Blackjack, Roullete, Craps, Poker, Baccerat and Pettokori. Only high ranking officials and officiers of the military can play Pettokori.

Armaments Manufacturing

The State is well-known for its large weapons manufacturing. The range of side arms go from basic blaster rifles (DC-6) to Graviton Quad Rifles (AH-9) to even the large cannons aboard the Titan-Class Destroyer (Kyon Blaster Cannons and Polarion Cannons). Isuuaya Imperial Armaments is reponsable for the manufacture of these weapons, as they help Cirelere Laboratories in the research.

Food Production

The State has the largest food production sector as well in the Fedetation. Over 250 planets are solely for the production of foodstuffs for the growing population of the State and even produces extras for other nations. Combined Harvest is the lead corporation in this field.

Mining

The Caldari State is home also to some of the largest caches of Tritanium, Nocxium and other space ores. Several belts including the Ta'Ka Belt and the Halak Fields have also some large catches of Tiberium, which at this time is equal in value to the credit. Metal X, used by OBERTH in Maraudersoft is also found in several undisclosed belts on the fringes of the State. Hysayoda, Minedrill and Combined Harvest all share the duties of collecting and refining the ores needed to continue the development of the State.

Starship Construction

The State is exteremly well-known for the Jita Shipyards (Part of Colossus l JITA), which produces some of the best starships in the Federation of Allied Nations. Jita Shipyards has been around since the rise of the Raata Empire and the rise of the weapons megacorporation, Isuuaya Imperial Armaments.

Some of the ships manufacture include the Enforcer-Class Battleship which are usually seen in systems as patrols and part of larger fleets. The Armageddon-Class is a more offensive ship, brisling with guns and are almost always seen in larger fleets and even as escorts of the larger ships. The Genesis-Class Mega Battleship is the moble 'battlestation' of the State, has tons and tons of cannons. It can take on whole fleets and take almost no damage. Only 3 of these benamoths are in active service and one more in still in constrction at the Jita Shipyards. Over 250 Million Citizens alone work in this one major industry.
