Alliance of Terra

The Alliance of Terra is a Democratic Federation of systems close o the capital world of Terra. It is the first Faction to be founded shortly after the great colonization, and started the Great War of Hegemony to try and secure its rule over the surrounding systems.

Foundation
With the unification of Terra, and the invention of Jump Ships, colonization of solar systems began, Terra naturally saw itself as the leader of these systems, and so created the alliance, with a code of federation being drawn up. A President was then elected and the alliance fully formed.

Government Function
The alliance has a President at its head who wields most of the power, with a senate in place for running the more day to day business. The Judicial system is handled by the President, and his appointed cabinet. The President has the authority to declare a state of emergency in which all power shifts to him until the he restores it to the senate. The senate may overrule this emergency with an unanimous vote.
