Politics

The Senate, Council, and Chancellor

In the Tidan political system each district elects a representitive to the Senate. At the same time the people vote for a Chancellor. The Senate elects six councellors, experts in certain fields, to the Chancellor's Council. The Council aids the Chancellor in making decisions and presiding over the Senate. The Council includes the offices of Chancellor, Minister of Justice, Minister of Defence, Minister of Law, Minister of Foriegn Affairs, Minister of the Economy, and Minister of the Environment. To pass a law, it must be approved by the Senate and Chancellor. In times of crisis the Council may act independently but the Senate still reviews all actions and determines when these special powers are in effect. The Chancellor can remove a member of the Council if it is believed that they are not fulfilling their duties, or if they are making decisions contrary to the beliefs of the government. Elections are every five years on July 10th. At any time a vote of non-confidence in the Chancellor can take place, if sucessful an election is called for two months after the vote. This act is a long and serious process and is never taken lightly. The newly elected Chancellor serves until the next election was previously scheduled so that elections are alway July 10th every five years, even if another election was called during that period.

Security

Security has been the cornerstone of Tidani society since its founding. Information on the equipment used by the Tidani Star Fleets.

Tidani Navy

The Tidani Navy is responsible for Tidan's sovereignty. This national force of 6 million (14 million logistics) are under the authority of the Minister of Defence. Under its command are the Air Command, Marine Command, Maritime Command, and Fleet Command. The Navy is a priority for Tidan and receive the second most funding. They are kept equiped with state-of-the-art equipment and receive world class training. All citizens are required to serve in the Navy for at least two years, in the branch of their choosing. If demand is too uneven the recruits will be spread around. In the event that citizens are unable to serve, they are encouraged to serve in logistics. Manditory service bolsters the Navy, enstils pride and patriotism, and teaches descipline.

The Tidani Marines are the infantry forces of the Republic. Under the command of Marine Command, a division of the Navy, the marines are responsible for 'ground' actions on land, under water, and in space. The Marines include many different classes and wield many different weapons to respond to a variety of threats.

Guardians

The Guardians are carried forth from ancient times, the Guardians were elite warriors that protected their people and land. Today the Guardians persist as the federal police force and secret service. These special forces officers are put through military training, equipped with advanced body armor, helmets, shields, and carry both lethal and non-lethal weaponry. Their specialties include urban combat, riot control, narcotic enforcement, and combatting organized crime. Guardians fall under the Minister of Law and are charged with enforcing federal law, embassy protection, emergency assistance, as well as international security efforts. Currently the Guardians are engaged in a war against the growing underground organized crime and drug trade. Supporting these protectors as well as local police forces is costly, that is why Law & Order is Tidan's first financial priority.

Shofar Intelligence Agency

A shofar is an ancient horn used to call assembly, sound alarm, and call for repentance. This is a fitting symbol for Tidan's intelligence agency. Shofar is secretive and independent, reporting directly to the Chancellor and Council. Other departments, especially the navy and guardians, resent Shofar because of the regularity with which agents appear within their ranks. Shofar's mandate is to keep the political and military leadership informed of everything going on internally and externally, and to keep the government accountable. Fanatical devotion to these goals is instilled in the agency, they see themselves and the knowledge they gather as the true power of the people of Tidan.
