Military and Economic Alliance

The Triumvirate of Yut is one of the oldest active alliances and counts amoung its members many of the oldest and most respected nations known to exist. Twenty-two members represent nearly all government forms from libertarian capitalist to socialist controlled economies to enlightened dictatorships. All of these nations follow the Charter of the Triumvirate of Yut and work together for the greater benefit of the whole through the free trade of technology, research, culture, and business.

Based on the Saturn moon of Titan, the alliance is primarily focused on both economic and military space-based power projection. It is also extremely active politically with member nations holding prominent positions among a variety of both political and military organizations.

Structure

The Triumvirate can be argued to be a federal government as it does minimally restrict the sovereignty of its member states (see Ideals) and has some of the trappings of a federal government. Widely supported by mutual treaty-bound donation, it has a central government consisting of the Council of Yut and a small number of additional civil servants required to facilitate interstate communications, trade, and support. It has a centralized military service, the Triumvirate of Yut Combined Services, which acts as its primary defensive and force-projection arm with large presences in the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn Theatres. It also has a centralized intelligence service, the Triumvirate of Yut Special Services, which helps disseminate intelligence throughout the alliance.

The Council of Yut is a simplified parliamentary system with one representative per member nation, usually the head of state of that nation or a designated alternate. Most votes on policy changes or military usage outside of treaty obligations require only a simple majority, while more severe issues such as amendments and declarations of war require a two-thirds majority. The Council of Yut may only form policy pertinent to the Triumvirate's international relations, internal relations between members, and its stated goals. It cannot legislate matters internal to any given member nation.

The Combined Services are the primary multilateral defensive forces of the Triumvirate, made up of contributions from all member states albeit with separate command-and-control and appropriations structures to improve efficiency and ensure internal compatibility. It coordinates with national defense forces to fulfill mutual defense and assistance obligations, and it generally acts with the autonomy required to fulfill its stated missions.

The Special Services act primarily as an information collation and distribution center. While it does have its own intelligence-gathering capabilities (primarily related to TYCS Military Intelligence) it is primarily reliant on the intelligence operations of member states.

Ideals

The Triumvirate of Yut is generally an idealist alliance similar in nature to the newer United Alliance of Progressive States but balances its ideals for the sake of realpolitik, as can be noted from its long-standing feud with Arda and Metus. Nominally, the Triumvirate is progressive and supportive of progressive ideologies but is not specific on how those ideologies are met; as a whole, form of government and cultural organization are irrelevant as long as the populations remain generally happy and/or unoppressed.

The two absolutely non-negotiable ideals of the Triumvirate are a united front against slavery and genocide, especially the latter. The Triumvirate has launched multiple campaigns to combat the latter, usually in the form of extraction operations intended to rescue those about to be killed. It tries to avoid conflict by first attempting diplomacy before resorting to controlled violence after diplomacy fails. There has been a slow-down in extraction operations recently, partially because defense or realpolitik concerns prevent the TYCS from acting and partially because such events are less common than they were previously. The last major extraction operation, Operation Stairway to Heaven, consisted of the movement of over 2.5 million Um Lizaans from Iraqstan to the Shogunate and is part of the reason behind the current feud between those two nations.
