Explorers, Traders, Bringers of War & Imperialism or Democracy & Peace, the view of the UER varies far and wide. However none can deny the prestige and power the cradle of humanity maintains, it's widely believed that should some entity wish to unite humanity as one solidified empire they must hold earth firmly and absolutely.
The UER was founded after the third world war, with the UN-remnant handing off the last vestiges of itself to go from a international alliance to a single world government.
The United Republic of Earth is the official government of Earth, Luna and Orbital Colonies with-in it's direct territory. The United Republic of Earth had been quite ironically in a fight with itself to maintain its democracy as its militarists faction has been growing in power, lead by those who want to reclaim the colonies whatever the cost. The UER government is a militaristic form of democracy, where full citizenship can only be gained through military service. The voting franchise is limited to full citizens, and they are the only ones allowed to hold public offices.
Constitutional Head of state, direct power varies from monarch to monarch as-well as executive administration.
Prime Minister and Grand Marshal[edit | edit source]
The Prime Minister is head of government and the Grand Marshal is head of all military affairs, the two positions are not always one and the same defacto-ly like during the current era, but the senate may vote to give such power to the prime minister in times of crisis and instability.
The UER is a Multi-Party Democracy (though only full citizens may run for any government office).
Alpha Centauri Special Administrative Sector[edit | edit source]
While officially still part of the United Republic of Earth the Republic of Alpha Centauri is as of the current era a semi-sovereign state having vast controls over it's own public and private laws. The Republic of Alpha Centauri Has it's own localized independent senate and executive branch, while recognizing the UER's Prime Minister and Grand Marshal as it's head of state.
Basic Education in the UER is completely free and universal from pre-school to highschool, with college being the same for Full-Citizens.
The UER's legal system is known to be very mixed in it's reactions - generally pro-rehabilitation, while at the same time being completely intolerant to decent or protests against the military, patriotism is seen as an absolute.
The UER has the biggest cultural mix of any of the other major empires, with citizens from all across SOL returning to their 'mother realm' to find a new life for themselves. Beyond the 'Great Terran Melting Pot' is an overarching culture of duty, service to the nation and equality, Anyone can become a full-citizen, and through such anyone can become a senator or even the prime minister by their own merits.
The UER is official a secular state, however its population is awash with a variety of religions and various forms of spiritualism as-well as various forms of non-religious.
The UER economy is a vast market, yet largely remains stable due to its dedication to socialist policies keeping monetary flow progressing and ensuring even those at the bottom of society have more than what they have for their needs.
