The Caldari State in Overview

The Space Federation of New Caldari is a peaceful but technologically-advanced nation. The Caldari State has both small claims on Earth and in Outer Space. The State claims 4 Regions, 220 systems and 1500 planets. The Caldari People are a patriotic and determined people and able to do many things, if they strive at it. The Federation is govern by 2 groups, the Chief Executives Panel and the Preisdent and his Cabinet. New Caldari is a leader in Space Exploration and advanced sciences, which includes the manufacturing of spaceships, ship systems and new technology.

The Caldari Race

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.

While the Caldari State may not be nearly as big as that of the Gallenteans, they are still universally feared and admired. Their economy is strong, and their military might parallel to that of some nations combined. As most Caldari trade is conducted by individual companies rather than the State itself, this makes it difficult for the other empires to deal with them at a political level. If a company is found guilty of unethical business dealings, it simply disappears into its parent corporation, and before long another one appears to take its place. But if a Caldari company is threatened, the whole corporation and often the whole State backs it up with full force.

Caldari society is steeped in military tradition. Even if the Caldari have engaged in several wars over many decades, they still strive to be at the cutting edge of military technology and their vessels, weapons and fighting methods are inferior to none but the enigmatic Jovians.

To curb their aggressive tendencies, the Caldari actively pursue and sponsor a range of sporting activities. Many of these are bloody, gladiatorial-like competitions, while others are more like races. But whatever the sport, the Caldari love betting on the outcome, making gambling a massive industry in the State.

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. Although not xenophobic as such, the Caldari are very protective of their way of life and tolerate only those foreigners that stick to the rules.

History

In around the 1200s,Raata Empire had risen to be. The First Emperor, Raata I, was a powerful and wise ruler who was able to harness the power of space travel. He was also able to form Intersteller Trade and also discovered how to make jumpgates. However,after Raata Is reign, the empire had separated into territorial city-states, each governed by a Major Corporation.

Between the late 1200's and thru to the early 1500's, Trade had declined, leadership landed in the hands of the corporations and commucation between city-states also decreased. These were rough times, the Caldari Population decreased as food production was devastated by many failures, they were only able to make enough for each city and that was it. The Jumpgates started to become in disrepair, and warmongering cities attacked each other, mainly this was a chaoic time and uneasy as what was going to happen next.

In the 1500?s, after some 250 years after the collapse of the Empire, the City-States of the Empire formed the Present Day Federation. Each of the 8 major corporations came from these city-states, and so formed the Chief Executives Panel, which is equal in power with the President.After several failures at colonizing other worlds, they began to bicker among themselfs, but the CEO of Lai Dai, Vemei Danjon, suggested that they elect someone as President for Life, and so they did. After that day, trade and commerce prospered and the Federation became very wealthy off of it's lucrative export of advanced technologies to other worlds, plus an monoploy in the Food Production from other worlds.

Today, the Federation is over 220 systems large, 4 regions wide and the State is ever continuing to expand due to jumpgate technology and continues to hold more monopolies in off-world industry then any other nation in the Democratica combined, in part due to the excellent economic policies of Yakiva Tovia-Toba and the Current Chief Executives Panel.

New Caldari
Nation: Caldari State

Caldari Prime was originally a small trading post, out on the outskirts of the Old Raata Empire. However, after 100 years after the fall of the Empire, the Kaalaikoita Corporation, the largest corporation that had risen to political power after the fall, made it their headquarters. This affected the other corporations, namely the Sukuvestaa Corporation,, with Kaalaikoita sudden gain of a heavily populated planet. After another 50 years, the Corporations finally formed the Caldari State and made Caldari Prime the new Capitalworld. However, the corporations couldn?t decide which of the 8 of them would preside the state as the President. This caused severe fights and to such extent as to each corporation using their own military forces to make there rivals fall. But in the end, after several back deals and espionage, the Kaalaikoita Corporation prevailed and took control of the Presidency. To this date, all Caldari Presidents have come from high officials of the Kaalaikoita Corporation, CEO?s cannot become president, and thus they are part of the unicameral legislature body, the Chief Executives Panel. Although the President has many powers, the CEO?s have the most power, as they own all the real estate in the State.

Caldari Prime is home to the Caldari race, which is a proud, patriotic and militaristic people. The Caldari are also very greedy, using their powers against the poor and down trot of the race. Caldari Prime is home to 700 Trillion People. Most of the planet has been developed, only a few parts of the planet are not, namely Central Plaza, the Dentis Commons in District 469 and Chive Highlands in District 312.

You can find anything on Caldari Prime, from Amarrian wheat to improved consumer electronics and egonics to small arms. Caldari Prime is the Federation of Allied Nations busiest marketplace, where all nations buy and sell their wares. Caldari Prime is home to the Federation of Allied Nations Stock Exchange, or FANSE for short. At the FANSE, all the nations, both domestic and interplanetary, sell and buy stocks, bonds and other financial plans and acts.

Education is important to any great and proud Caldari and on Caldari Prime, you will find hundreds of schools and universities, each specializing in a different field of trade or job that you want, but here a few very popular and important for all Caldari to attend if they are not going to join the Caldarian Legionaries or the Caldari Navy. One School would be the Caldari Trade and Science University]. At the University, Caldari learn to become sly and cunning traders, they also learn to be great and sneaky diplomats, for both political as well as Military spies. In the Science Department, Caldari learn to become great and noble scientists to help advance Caldari technology further. You can find several campuses of the CTSU in Districts 45, 79, 186, and 464.

Another type of entertainment the Caldari like is races around the State and robotic gladiatorial fights in the Grand Arena. The famed COLOSSUS Space Race is the star of all races, anyone who wins in them, gains undying honor and prestige among the Caldari. The gladiatorial fights are famous and happen almost all the time, it?s a big gambling game along with the COLOSSUS Race, as gambling is a major industry to the Caldari when they arent fighting wars.

All and all, Caldari Prime is a dense and congested planet, and with the years of major development has caused traffic into ridged skylanes, weaving in and out of the massive cityscape, To keep as many people from using personal transport, the Chief Executives Panel have begun a large public transportation network in most areas of the massive city. Most routes meet at major landing pads and transportation hubs.

For the defense of the planet, thousands of planetary shield generators form one massive planetary shield network as well as 3 full Space Fleets in orbit. Not only does Caldari Prime have orbital fleets and a massive shield system, it has hundreds if not thousands of planetary turbolasers and ion cannons, thus making an invasion impossiable.
