*<b> Unification</b> - | |||
In the years before Unification nearly all the governments on Denobula bar one, a Republic, were Democracies, with a strong emphasis on freedom of the individual, rather than the rights of the collective. Unlike many other governments, Denobulans have had strong systems to promote individual constituencies talking to many levels of the government. In addition, the extended family clans, and nature of Denobulans has promoted a more harmonious outlook. This naturally led to the eventual formation of the world government. | |||
The formation of the world government occured when the old nation-states realized they could not afford separate exploration of the stars, and to promote the peace of the world, they began to form the government. After three years of discussion, the Treaty of Unification was passed, Signed in the new Denobulan Capital of Ulkhar, (a city never a capital of the forming nations), forming the current government. | |||
*<b> The System</b>: | |||
The Government is a democratic republic- There are a few levels of Government on Denobula, each ranging in how much power they have. | |||
<b>Precinct : Mayor </b> - serves a 2 year term, may serve an unlimited amount of terms. | |||
Mayors are often expected to serve as leaders for as many as 30k citizens, serving a subdivision of a region. They are considered the most local leader. | |||
<b>Regions: Constituent Ministers</b> - serve 2 year terms, may serve an unlimited amount of terms. | |||
Ministers represent voters over wide regions, usually serving nearly a million to possibly more voters. You will often see a Minister, rather than a Mayor, in charge of major city-regions, with districts of the cities having mayors. | |||
<b>National: Regional Leaders</b> - serve 4 years terms, may serve an unlimited amount of terms. | |||
Regional leaders are largely what the leaders of the old nation states were, albeit more of them. Largely represent billions. Serve as the advising council to the president when one is needed, and often, presidents are drawn from this pool by the voters. Although there are notable exceptions to this trend. | |||
<b>Head of Government: President of Denobula</b> - (5 Year term, may not serve more than 2 concurrent terms.) | |||
The head of state of Denobula. Serves the planet and off world colonies. After the fourth president served eight terms in office, an amendment was made to the articles of the treaty to disallow three concurrent terms. This has lead to oddities such as the fifteenth and sixteenth president trading off every two terms, but no such trend has persisted for long. | |||
The different levels of government are each voted for by the people after a small campaign season in which the electees can show their manifestos and what they will do for their role and how it will help the people. (I.e. More money for the Medical sector.) | |||
After joining the federation a 5th level was added which isn’t above the President but is the Denobulan ambassador to each of the Federation planets. Some ambassadors will serve for multiple planets in close proximity. This level also does apply to ambassadors for non federation member planets. As the ambassadors, in a very unusual policy, are elected, it is not unknown for the ambassadors to disagree with the current administration. This policy has caused friction with many planets, as the deals they negotiate may be rejected upon review. | |||
This government faced a trial by fire when the Antaran war came to them, and emerged stronger, and has participated in many Federation wide programs, especially in sciences and medical. Denobulans are also considered one of the highest member nations to provide aid within the Federation. | |||
Over its history, the Denobulan government has traditionally favored more freedoms for individuals over the rights of the collective. However, this balance has gone back and forth - current trends, especially with some unrest on one Denobulan colony, are trending back towards collective rights. However, long-term social trends suggest that this is only in times of turmoil | |||
Once a colony is stable and passes the 5 million mark, it gains it's own regional leader rather than having it's mayor's and Ministers report to the president directly. | |||
Even after joining the federation the governmental system is still the same and has been since the unification of the nation states. | |||
*<b>Brief history of the aftermath of the treaty</b>: | |||
After the treaty was signed the Denobulans held an election where a member of the governments of each nation state selected someone to run for them, the winner of the election was a female named Brax. She won by a landslide 82% and become the first president of Denobula. Currently, they are served by their 142th president, Karlox. The 75th president was the first president not born on Denobula. | |||
