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.

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 8 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

The Caldari State Today

Today, the State is well 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. The Caldari State Armed Forces continue to be on the cutting edge of weapons technology and with the new Titan-Class Destroyer, the Navy is one of the most powerful in the region. The Home Guard has been able to almost destroy crime but terrorism has increased in the last decade.

Caldari Prime, Capitalworld of the State

History

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's 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, the other CEOs cannot become president, and thus they are part of the unicameral legislature body, the Chief Executives Panel.

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.

Transportation

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. The CaldariRail is the huge elevated rail line which connects the major areas of the downtown districts and the outer city area. To most nations, the CaldariRail is the public transporation network, the hoverbus network is also part of the larger Planetary Networks.

Planetary Defence

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.

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.

The Chief Executive Panel is a political entity jointly owned and run by the Caldari mega corporations.

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.
