The Producers

The Producers, known to some as the Pintus, are a society from the world of Rellar. The Pintus are known for their Liberal Market Society dominated by large corporations owned by the organic Producers. Producer society is also known for its Class system which includes the robotic Brethren. Most Producers speak the Pintus language.

The Producers exist in a society governed by the Producer Technocracy. Both of the main classes are represented in the Producer Assembly and the sub-Assemblies of the Technocracy. The Technocracy acts as the Executive of which the head is the 'Chair of the Producers'. The Assembly's leader acts as another leader of state and is known as the 'Speaker of the Producers'.

As of the year 4233, Producer society existed in two systems; Rellar and Venezo. Each of these systems has a capital Planet. The Capital City of all of the Producer Technocracy is the Independent Diplomatic Capital or Indica. A smaller colony, belonging to the criminal Producer Networks, could be found on the Awaja System.

The Producers were the first society developed in the System Conflicts Universe and are loosely linked to the society imagined by Francis Fukuyama in 'The End of History and the Last Man'.

History

The history of the Producers is normally started at 0AP or the year of the founding of the Pintus Empire. The First Pintus Empire, founded by Emperor Kwame, started as a small Kingdom in the Ancients' Peninsula and grew as a result of the good policy of the Empire, ideal location and a selection of easily defendable Islands.

By 300AP the Pintus Empire was the major power on the Western Continent of Apa. Their hegemony allowed for the smaller language groups to be slowly replaced by Pintic Languages. This spread of the language allowed for the continent of Apa to trade easily and grow fast.

The Age of 100 Wars marked the rise of the Second Pintic Empire following its collapse into smaller sub-Kingdoms. The rise of the Second Empire heralded the emergence of a state system which would form the basis of the Imperial Age.

In 1333AP the Easten Continent of Ipina was discovered. Ipina had been the cradle of the original Producer species but over thousands of years had diverged somewhat. Their societies were developed and wide ranging but no match for the technologically advanced Ancient Societies.

1833-1852 was the Fourth Global Strife and was a large war between the Pintus League and Ako League. The heated nature of this war led to the small continent of Ijubo being almost wiped out through bombing and nuclear weapons. As part of the peace accords a new capital was founded there and a new Governmental Order established to aid the development of trade and peace between states of Rellar.

By 2644 the Producers officially opened their first colony on a nearby Planet. In 3125 the first colony in the Venezo system was opened on the planet Jewel.

Much of the expansion of the Producers has come about because of their market. The driving force behind their society has been the pursuit of growth and wealth.

Biology
The Producers are a humanoid race. In the System Conflicts Universe they are normally portrayed as humans although have a number of differences. These differences include the larger height and strength of females in comparison to males.

The average Producer height is 6 foot for both males and females. For this reason the Brethren generally are made to be the same height. Producers have a varying amount of physiological difference between ethnicities due to thousands of years of separation between the continents of Rellar. These differences have reduced over time as Producer society has become more heterogenous.

Producer Factions
See; Producer Technocracy, Producer Pirates, Producer Networks, Naturists

There are four main organisations which Producers will live in. The vast majority of Producers align themselves with the recognised government of their society; the Producer Technocracy. A smaller number align themselves with the three extra organisational governments.

Producer Pirates and Networks exist as criminal organisations which make their profits in illicit ways. This can involve drug production, smuggling and theft. Pirates exist as an unorganised faction who take part in smaller scale crime while Networks are larger and well organised criminal organisations.

Naturists exist in the Naturelands and wish to bring down Producer Society and replace it with an Eco-Anarchist Agrarian Society. They have been known to target both the Networks and Technocracy in Terrorist attacks, attempting to undermine the ability for both of these factions to function.
