Producer Technocracy

The Producer Technocracy is the name of the formal Government of the Producers. The Technocracy originates from 1852AP following the conclusion of the Fourth Global Strife. The war had brought such devastation to the planet of Rellar that the sides agreed that military means would no longer be system of resolving political disputes between states.

Over the next 2000 years, the Technocracy grew to form the basis of Producer politics, administrating the markets and facilitating the growth if the civilisation. By 4233AP the Technocracy had expanded to govern two systems; Rellar System and Venezo System.

Background
The Technocracy was formally founded in 1857AP between the belligerents of the Fourth Global Strife called the Ako and Pintus Leagues. These leagues had battled over particular territories following the collapse of the balance of power which had existed on Rellar since the balance of power which formed after the Third Global Strife. The war which ensued wiped out around 30% of the population of Rellar and resulted in the almost total destruction of civilisation on the continent of Ijubo. The devastation of the war, general weariness and the lack of an end in sight brought the leaders of the two leagues and various smaller states together to draw up a new global order.

This new order was designed to follow the classic Pintus Empire system of Governance, whereby the territories and industries of the state would be represented in a bi-cameral system. The Executive would be appointed by consensus by these Parliaments and form the Technocrats.

Over the next few hundred years the Technocracy would attempt to wrestle with the new order on the planet Rellar. By trying to embark on early space programmes, the Government sought to find some sort of unifying project. This project remained slow, with economic development taking priority. The Technocracy gradually grew to solidly govern the whole planet.

System of Government


The Technocracy evolved, following the granting of rights to the Brethren, to be a complicated system of parliamentary democracy. The main Parliament which is elected is the Producer Assembly, which will vote to approve legislation alongside the Technocrats. The three smaller assemblies sit as upper houses and will feed into the creation of policy in each particular area.

The Technocrats act as the Executive of the planet and are headed by the Chair of the Producers. This body will work closely together as a cabinet, producing legislation for the approval of the lower houses. The Technocrats will always work towards a single policy line, meaning disagreement is kept entirely private.

Military
The Military of the Producers has the dual role of Police and Defence. The Police function as a separate branch of the Military. They are overseen by the Chief Technocrat of the Military. Since the demise of regional conflicts the military generally concerns itself with policing, anti-Network operations and wider defence.

The Military’s flagship is the Space City of Photon 1. This is a heavily defended Space Fortress where the majority of operations are planned and soldiers are trained. The City has a permanent population of 100,000 Producer soldiers. It also houses much of the fleet, research and production of new arms.

Soldiers in the Protector Military are a mix of all three classes. Originally the plan was to replace the Protectors in the armed forces with Brethren, but the Brethren had a number of weaknesses. The main problems were susceptibility to hacking and weakness against EMP grenades which could shut down entire units. Most units therefore are a mix of Protector and Brethren with the Protectors having the highest decision making roles and Brethren giving support.

Brethren created for Military purposes have the same rights but normally choose to forgo these due to their loyalty to the state. They are often bigger than normal Brethren, although smaller ones can be used for particular missions. Their role can include sharpshooting, support and carrying of heavy objects.

LIAI include transports, guns (which are set not to fire at allies) and Smart Defences for fortresses. Very small Brethren, only up to 1 meter tall, fly most fighters to make the more difficult decisions which LIAI cannot be trusted with. This is the general case for driving and fighting. LIAI are not trusted with complex decision making in case civilians are hurt.

Territory
The Producer Technocracy governs the Rellar System and Venezo System. These two systems are home to a large number of colonies and Space Cities. Each of the planets in the Producer Technocracy have their own basic systems of government which feed into the larger Assembly of Territory. There are also individual practices and cultures found on each planet.
