Overview of the Armed Republic
The Armed Republic of the Serene Death is a nation set near the unexplored regions of the Fusarian Galaxy. It is just coreward of the Cyclopean Nebula, which separates the habitable worlds of the Armed Republic from its uninhabitable former systems and the Unexplored Sectors. The nation is inhabited by 2 sentient races, Humans and Culta-Gen, as well as their hybrids known as "Lesser Men." A very large and socially progressive nation, with a compassionate population that enjoys extensive civil freedoms, it is known for its population's widespread ownership of weapons and the nation's compulsory military service. Most businesses are lightly regulated, except for the trading and arms industries which see little if any interference.
The government of the Serene Death uses a federalist republic system which allows local governments (systems and planets) semi-autonomy while still keeping them under the control and protection of the central Armed Republic. Starting as a confederation of refugees led the people and government to believe that in order to survive much of the government's power should be diffused and controlled at the local level. After the people were able to settle down and rebuild, the government slowly centralized more and more power, and has continued to do so to this day.
Geography
Main Article: Geography of the Serene Death
The Armed Republic of the Serene Death is the government in control of 10 sectors in the Huntarian Galaxy. It is cut off from any travel to the galactic north by the Cyclopean Nebula. This entire nebula is alive with electromaginetic activity except for the Serene Vale, which only gets a rare electrical storm every now and then, Known as a Thunderclap. The Serenity Vale is the main passage through the nebula, and the only passage large and safe enough to allow any amount of space vessels thought unharmed. The passage is called the Serene Vale because the near absence of spacial activty in the Vale allows a wonderful view of the interior of the Cyclopean Nebula. This is the main route that the survivors of the Free Zone took to escape the aftermath of the Free Zone War and is the most guarded area of the Serene Death, with checkpoints and watch stations at both ends as well as patrols running along the entire passage. Some have protested this as being unnecessary as no non-governmental vessels have come near the vale in over 75 years, but the military says that it is acting in the public's safty to keep the nebula separated from the general population.
The rest of the Serene Death's territory is a mix of gas giants, barren worlds, and habitable worlds. The people of this nation are spread out all among these planets and can be found almost anywhere. Colonies on dead planets, asteroids or in the upper atmostphere of gas giants are not uncommon to these hardy folk.
History
Main Article: History of the Serene Death
After the destruction of their home systems in the Free Zone War, the people of the now named Serene Republic moved through the Serene Vale in the Cyclopean Nebula and left their war-ravaged home sector behind. They decided to colonize the new planets they came to and set up a new government to protect their people better through massive defensive measures and decentralized government.
In recent history the government has been loosening restrictions on personal weapons and starship weapons while restricting people's power in the political process and instead giving it to politicians and the military. Fears over a military coup taking place or an oligarchy being set up are somewhat confirmed with the recent arrest of the president and take over of the Executive Branch by a military council.
Government
Main Article: Government and politics of the Serene Death
The Armed Republic has universal sufferage for all citizens over 18 and free and open elections for its people. Its constitution calls the nation a "Constitutional Democratic Federal Republic," which has been interperated as meaning that power is split between local and nation-wide governmets which are elected by the people. The federal government is split into three branches: the Executive, the Judicial, and the Legislative, with the Legislative split into two houses: the House of Parliament and the Senate House.
Local governments are sometimes similar to the national government with the separate branches ruling over locals through a federal system (usually in Fortified Metropolitan Planets), while other local governments use unitary systems (usually Militant Systems). Some local governments use an elected governor or appointed governor-general, and in the past local governments have even been corperate police states, socialist democracies, communist dictatorships, and even a theocratic republic (see the Theocracy of Dunwyl in the history section).
Currently, the president has been replaced with a military council which has no plans of leaving their position any time soon.
Military
Main Article: Military of the Serene Death
The Armed Republic of the Serene Death is named so due to the easy access to weaponry throughout the nation and because of the military training of all its citizens. After they leave high school, all civilians are drafted into the military for 2 years, after which they can either continue their military service or move on to college or a career. The military is split into 4 branches: The Army, the Navy, the Space Corps, and the People's Militant Force.
All the Branches are then broken into several sub-branches:
- Peacekeepers (Army)
- Serene Defense Force (SDF): These are the basic ground forces of the military.
- Serene Army Auxilary (SAA): Support section of the army.
- The Serene Security Force (SSF): the intelligence branch of the Serene Armed Forces
- Games & Theory (R&D): Where new technologies and tactics are created.
- People's Navy
- Serene Naval Forces (SNF): These are the basic space forces of the military.
- Serenity Commercial Corps (SCC): Naval personnel in shipping and shipping protection.
- Serene Naval Auxilary (SNA): Support section of the navy. (repair, refuel, transport)
- Protectorate Space Corps
- Starfighter Corps (SFC): These are the planetary and non-planetary spacefighters of the military.
- Exploritory Corps (ExC): Explorers of the galaxy.
- People's Militant Force (PMF)
- Military Police: Cross between national guard and law enforcement officer.
- Armed Regional Militia (ARM): citizen’s defense forces around the country
- Republican Guard: An army unit that protects the President, Congress members, Militant Judges, and their families.
- Gunslingers: Not tecnically part of the PMF, though they sometimes take orders from them. Wandering law enforcers, yet much more.
