Results of the Outer Rim Republic 2210 Elections
1650847550527.png

Nathaniel Benin begins to speak
"Hello citizens of the Outer Rim! We are mere minutes away from voting booths across our great Republic closing.

"This election is really up in the air as dozens of political parties and hundreds of independents compete for seats within the Outer Rim's five hundred member Senate."

The screen behind Nathaniel lights up showing each political party running in the Senate.

"Now I can confirm a few things for one the Left and Right Leaning Parties are in for a tough time!"

The screen separates parties that are Centrist and Right Leaning.

"As you can see with so many parties trying to attract votes from very similar electorates it is guaranteed to be tough for any of these parties to stand out among the crowd.

The Left is certainly in a stronger position as there is less competition between the parties in the sense of attempting to gain votes.

I have with me David Lilling a political sciences researcher to give his thoughts about the current political landscape."

David Lilling adjusts his glasses and begins to speak

"Well Nathaniel I am fearful for the left and right leaning parties as quick frankly they are going to cannibalize each other"

David laughs

"It sounds funny but it is true with so many similar parties and with only minor variations between them they are going to certainly cannibalize each other and only one or two of them will have a chance to make a break out into national prominence however and matter what they are splitting their ideologies vote, potentially giving way for the Republic's center to seize the opportunity."

Nathaniel begins to speak

"Now that is truly a terrifying thought but it seems all too likely, what about the Presidential elections?"

David clears his throat as the screen shows the Chancellorship Candidates

"We….. well you see I would say without a doubt based on polling it is a fight between the S.E.A. and N.P.R.P. for the position but in all honestly it is impossible to predict who will win until results start coming in and things are so razor close in polling.

The screen changes to the Vice Chancellorship Candidates and Nathaniel begins to speak

"Now what about the Vice Chancellor race? "

David thinks for a moment before he begins to speak

"This one is a tough one but I think that Macy Mallach of the Democratic Vanguard is going to come out on top due to the sheer amount of endorsements she has received however of course we could be in for a surprise!

The screen zooms in on the outline of the Outer Rim's capital Mitra as Nathaniel begins to speak

"So David what are your thoughts on Mitra the capital of our Great Republic on more importantly the most populous who will rise and who will fall in this great urban center?"

David begins speaking as the screen moves to different geographical regions across the Outer Rim as the final voting booths begin closing.

What an utterly razor close election that was! There was no definitive winner in that one until the very end but there is no contesting it. Saabir Muhammad Hakin of the Social Equity Alliance has taken the title with 30.07% of the vote a mere 1.2% ahead of second place candidate Callum Greenway of the National Party of Republican Prosperity.

This one however was far less contested as Dr. Macy Mallach of the Democratic Vanguard has walked away with an incredible victory tonight with 55.8% of the vote a clear majority there is no doubt in anyway or form that Mallach's mandate is clear and powerful.

A closely contested race with clear ups and downs however in the as the election hit it's half point Jeremy Hatchet's lead began to dissipate as it became clear that he simply did not have enough votes to squeeze out a victory giving the raec to Frederick Torres of the Outer Rim Conservative Party.

Although the Chancellorship was a nail biter without a doubt this race took the the entire Republic by swarm as all candidates had a realistic chance of succeeding with Rufus Thorne of the National Party of Republican Prosperity narrowly edging out a victory.

Minister of Scientific Research and Development

As the final race in the Outer Rim Republic's election the Ministry for Scientific Research & Development was a clear landslide with Dalton Fifewood of the Outer Rim Technocratic Party seizing a strong lead towards the beginning of the election and holding onto it through its entirety.

Senatorial Results

1650854687504.png

Last on the agenda is such a massively contested Senate Chambers!

With no party coming close to securing a majority we have a massively disjointed Senate with over two dozen political parties all being forced to compromise on voting bills into law. It is far off from our previous election where a coalition was immediately formed of every political party and worked as a united front to pass all needed bills into law as possible.

Although these may seem like dire times, we here at The Outpost are confident in the future of the Republic and its democratic ideals.

The 2210 Senate Meeting
1651024703144.png

Such a jam packed Senate with so many differing parties was bound to quite a few bills and it most certainly did with twenty seven bills being proposed to the Senate of which only a handful were actually passed through, the first agenda on everyone's mind however was selecting the Speaker of the Senate, a powerful role within the Outer Rim's Government which has the sole power to approve referendums that pass through the Senate as well as the ability to kick rowdy elements out of the Senate.


Election For Speaker of the Senate
1651025609561.png


Jager Wagner of the R.A.F. - 43 votes - 8.6%
Reid Rackheim [Independent] - 5 votes - 1%
Matthew Lake of the P.S.C.P. - 53 Votes - 10.6%
Manuel Prado Ugarteche of the O.R.C.P.. - 323 votes - 64.6%



The election started off with the initial candidacy of Minister of Defense Frederick Torres of the O.R.C.P. announcing his intention to run before immediately afterwards canceling his bid and instead option for Manuel Prado Ugarteche of the O.R.C.P. one of his fellow party members to run for the position instead and with this announcement to run it appeared that Ugarteche had secured the backing of the Right within the Senate, meanwhile Matthew Lake of the P.S.C.P. announced he would be running with the endorsements of the entirety of the Left with the prominent exception of the R.A.F. & the U.P.P. as R.A.F. announced their own candidate for the positon Jager Wagner. meanwhile Independent Reid Rackheim announced his candidacy with the backing of four other Independent Senators.

The race developed quickly with Ugarteche securing just short of his needed majority to win the position, the flipping of S.E.A. and P.S.C.P. in a surprise turn to ensure stability and avoid Senatorial Gridlock secured his victory.




The 2210 Outer Rim Republican Armed Forces Procurement
Bill
Written By the ORCP, IDP & Chancellor Hakim
Bill Passed

Due to an uptick in piracy it is clear that our outdated armada of three corvettes is no longer suitable to protect our Republic and with the Treaty of Tyrien expiring the doors to expansion will open up requirement a further increase in our fleet strength as to protect our soon to be new borders.

As such the Outer Rim Republican Armed Forces Procurement Bill calls for the following.

The production of seven new corvettes which are to be internally constructed with the aid of Soliman Industries , ACP Firearm Corporation and other armament corporations within the Outer Rim.

These Corvettes will follow two templates.
1651026082070.png

3 Miranda Class Missile Corvettes.

4 Refuge Class Interceptor Corvettes.

This expansion will allow the Republican Navy to grow to the strength of ten corvettes.

The recruitment of 3 Army Corps of the Republican Ground Forces as to aid with protecting our beautiful Republic with particular focus on the planet of Hephaestus which is constantly under the threat of attack from its mutant and autonomous inhabitants. The production itself will be completed with the production of one corvette every year until the construction effort is finished in 2217.

The 2210 Republican Expansion Bill
Written By The O.R.C.P.
Bill Passed
1651026176462.png
The borders of the Outer Rim Republic must be expanded with the ending of the Treaty of Tyrien.

The Republic must immediately utilize this opportunity as it is a once in a millennia occasion and if we do not take advantage of this expansion potential threats will surely take advantage of this and will close in on the Republic’s Borders.

As such this bill calls for the expansion of the Republic’s borders in each and every direction while also ensuring the Republic’s Economy is kept afloat.

[The bill itself calls for expansion whenever the Republic is able to afford it, other bills that cost resources will take priority however whenever a reserve of resources is gained they will be put towards expansion.]

A Bill for an Act Entitled: Rimean Urban Concern Act
2210, January 1st
Introduced by Senator Alban Solimon of the CoRI, co-signed by the DV
Bill Failed

Section 1:
Be it enacted that our national focus changes toward bettering urban conditions over rural concerns. This policy change will result in increased urban efficiency as well as increased immigration. (change foundational base to urban principle)

Section 2:
Bettering urban conditions means a change in the constitution to focus specifically on increasing the economic capabilities of our urban zones.

Increased urban efficiency would relate to increased housing availability which would in turn relate to increased production due to greater populations in cities.

Immigration refers to both galactic and national. When our borders are open to foreign immigration, our cities will be more attractive to foreign workers and in our current state, the unemployed population will have a greater draw to our cities with spare jobs.

Section 3:
There is no associated cost and the administration of this principle will be left in the hands of the senate.

The Right of Home for All Act
Witten and Proposed by the Unified Peoples Alliance (UPA)
Vote Failed
We now stand united as a Republic with the rights of all of our citizens able to be represented. The Old Central Government held its power above us all and used all of our resources to get us through tough times. Those days are behind us and now the power is in the hands of the people and this Republic. No longer should a family have to worry about being removed from their home to go work on some distant station, away from friends and family. Our citizens should know their lives and homes are protected from the government and that they can live comfortable without needing to worry. No longer should it be possible for this Republic to remove people from their homes and lives.

- This Bill will change our Republic's policy of Resettlement to Prohibited, allowing our people to choose where they live within our Republic.
- Under no circumstance can the Republic force our population to move from their homes and lives.


Declaration of the Status of Natajara Station
Proposed by: New Imperial Mandate
Co-Signatory: Outer Rim Conservative Party
Bill Failed
It’s time to make clear how we stand in regards to Natajara Station. With this act, we declare Natajara Station to be sovereign territory of the Outer Rim Republic. If Natajara’s unlawful occupation continues, they shall be treated as unlawful militants in Republic Space.

Re-Integration And Preservation of Natajara Station
Written By O.C.R.P., O.R.E.P. and H.V.F.
Bill Passed
Disheartened and Pro-Democratic elements within the Outer Rim Republic's Armed Forces as well as opposition elements outside of the Natajaran Armed Forces control have reached out to our Republic for assistance with the goal of re-integrating with the Outer Rim Republic.

The people of Natajaran Station in their current state are malnourished, living in an oppressive authoritarian regime and are constantly at odds with the Natajaran Armed Forces the de facto force controlling the administration of the station.

These tensions between the Natajaran Armed Forces and their citizens frequently involve violent skirmishes, public executions and other atrocities.

As such this bill proposes we establish communications with the disheartened elements of the Natajaran Armed Forces who want democracy restored and support reintegration to the Outer Rim Republic as well as support pro-democratic elements within the citizen base of Natajaran Station.

Through these communications we will grow close ties with these groups and help them unify themselves so that in the year 2215, these groups will be organized enough to begin planning an organized armed rebellion with the intention that the Outer Rim Republic's Armed Forces will be able to assist them.

This bill is not stating we must conduct an action against Natajaran Station in the 2215, it is saying that by this time the hope is that the rebels in Natajaran Station will be unified and strong enough that such an operation would be able to occur in the years 2215-2220 if the Senate approves it.



A Bill to Initiate new Exploration Missions to
Facilitate Discoveries in Nearby Systems
BE IT ENACTED BY THE BODY HERE ASSEMBLED THAT:
Bill Passed

SECTION 2. “Plus Habitable World” refers to any world which is considered to have an environmental similarity rating of at least 60%, and is therefore more suited to survivability of human life.

“Exploratory Mission” refers to independent operations by Rimean Science vessels, including but not limited to: system charting, scanning, survey, and/or sampling.

“Science Ship” refers to a vessel fitted out for missions of scientific nature. These ships should have the capabilities of operating independently from auxiliary craft, and be equipped with general scientific facilities, planetary and system survey equipment, and long range communications.
SECTION 3. This be will be carried out by the Ministry of Scientific Research and Development (MSRD)
The MSRD will appoint, assign, and otherwise direct a minimum of 2 science teams and up to a maximum of 4 teams, equipped with fully crewed science ships capable of operating for an extended duration.
Should the Republic not possess enough science ships to be supplied to all of the assigned science teams, a number of science ships will be constructed to match the deficit of needed ships. The number of science ships constructed at any one time is not to exceed One.
The Science teams will conduct exploratory missions in unsurveyed systems starting with those along the Republic’s border. The teams will carryout in depth scans of all objects within each system, and relay the data back to the MSRD. Once a system’s survey and scanning has been completed, the team shall move on to whatever system is next, at the discretion of the MSRD. Should any anomalous results of findings be found, these may be investigated further at the discretion of the MSRD. Any system where a Plus Habitable World is discovered, should be presented before the Senate by the MSRD in an information package.
Should any potentially habitable planets or moons be discovered, whether via long range scanning, visual location, or other means of identification, the nearest Science Team shall prioritize this system, and deploy with hase to survey and scan the system with the potentially habitable planet. Should the nearest Science Team’s prior mission be deemed Time Critical, the MSRD will dispatch a different science team at its discretion.
SECTION 4. This bill will enter effect immediately, and will last for 10 years, before it must be renewed, updated, and/or amended.
SECTION 5. All laws in conflict with this legislation are hereby declared null and void.

The Minister of Defense is the only one who can appoint and dismiss the agency’s director at any time, but in the case the director is found to be promoting the interests of foreign powers or undermining the democratic processes of the republic, he may be impeached by the senate in a special session and dismissed via a >½ vote. The Senate also holds the power to decide the size of the agency’s budget and can dissolve the agency permanently via a ⅔ vote.
Conducting major international operations by the agency requires the approval of the Chancellor, while the agency’s director has the responsibility to report all important actions organized by the agency to a committee composed of the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor, the Minister of Defense, and if it doesn’t breach nation security, the two other Ministers and the Speaker of The Senate every 6 months, the inability to do so being a possible cause for impeachment.

Section 1:
A council is to be formed in order to administer Hephaestus in the manner that a Governor would. This council would take upon all roles and responsibilities of a governor while also directing broader concerns such as the terraforming and development of the sole Rimean planet. This council would include representatives from the HCP and the SDA, as representatives of the left, from the NPRP and HVF as representatives of the right with a CoRI candidate serving as a centrist candidate and a potential tie breaker.

In addition to the roles of governorship, the council will also preside over an open forum in which they will hear the ideas to repair Hephaestus and utilize such ideas in formulating bills. The council will further be in charge of gaining bipartisan support, through internal voting, for bills regarding Hephaestus.

The Business and Consumer Goods Bill
(Drafted by the FP)
Bill Failed

The FP proposes that the economy is shifted from a more warlike economy, to an economy that can sustain a greater amount of growth with greater benefit to civilians and corporations. This Bill is in response to the Consumer Goods crisis, as well as the lack of need for a militarised economy in a time of peace with our neighbours, especially with the FP officially endorsing diplomacy as the end to any conflict before war - especially with the Natajaran station. This means the government investing more into the peacetime economy than businesses such as arms production.

The expected outcomes of this bill becoming and act are a dramatic increase in consumer good production, and the Outer Rim Republic becoming more attractive to foreign and domestic business, something that will benefit us greatly in the long run.

(Ingame, set the economic policy from mixed economy to civilian economy)

Written By APOLLO
Bill Failed

It should be the right of every citizen to experience what they want to experience without big government breathing down their neck. By legalizing all forms of narcotics, gangs and “unfavorable” organizations will contribute to our society officially. By continuing to label them outlaws we are creating more crime and more tension when none is needed.

Furthermore we should pardon all those incarcerated because of unfair laws around Narcotics. It is a fact that keeping Narcotics illegal will not have any benefit for our nation. However dealers and barons shall continue the sentence.

Open Borders Act
(written by the RAF)
Bill Passed
The RAF proposes that we open our Borders to all those who wish to settle within the republic, for we say we are willing to accept refugees if they come into our House yet we refuse to let them in. This is not only Hypocritical on our Part but it is also not ideal for a different reason, that being the fact that we are denying many potential workers entrance and the opportunity to put their respective skills to work for the betterment of Society. Something that we must change.

(Ingame, set policy from closed Borders to Open borders.)

A New Start


The Agro-Industrial Union Joins The Social Equity Alliance [S.E.A.]
1651036555208.png

Shortly after it was revealed the Jeremy Hatchet the leader of the A.I.U had been defeated in his bid to become Minister of Defense he announced that his party had merged with S.E.A. giving all 13 of his parties seats to S.E.A. which in turn officially made S.E.A. the largest party in the Outer Rim Republic with a total of 56 seats, slightly over 10% of the Senate.

This merger consolidated Chancellor Hakim's position in the Outer Rim Republic as not only does S.E.A. control the Chancellorship but also the largest party in the Senate.

THE P.S.C.P. & U.S.S.C. Merge. Creating The Social Spiritual Alliance [S.S.A.]
1651036874355.png

The P.S.C.P. & U.S.S.C. both smaller parties within the Republic's Senate announced a surprise merger in the forming of the Social Spiritual Alliance giving the party 26 seats making it the seventh largest party in the Senate and a major force to be dealt with in the coming votes.


The Creation of the Red Star Alliance
While some parties merged the creation of the Red Star Alliance between the R.A.F., U.P.P. & the U.P.A. all of which fall on the Far-Left of the political spectrum was proven to be a massive shake up in the Outer Rim's Senate as this new coalition holds a total of 68 Seats which at the time of it's announcement made it the largest coalition in the Outer Rim Republic.

Such a unification of the Far-Left is sure to cause shockwaves across the rest of the Senate as a once marginalized voice has been amplified greatly.




The S.D.A. & H.C.P. Finalize The DYAD Coalition
Although relatively smaller parties the S.D.A. and H.C.P. have finalized a coalition between themselves giving their coalition a total of 26 seats, which although not a massive power player in the Senate it does have enough influence to act as a critical swing vote ensuring its importance in the years to come.




The Creation of the Rational Bloc
1651037260438.png

The Formation of the Rational Bloc occurred mere days after the formation of the Red Star Alliance as the D.V., O.R.T.P., P.E.C., L.R.C. & I.D.P. announced the formation of a formal Coalition between themselves. This coalition making up the largest in the Outer Rim Republic makes up a total of 97 seats nearly 20% of the total seats in the Senate.


The Borders Open
1651037783122.png

Per the Open Borders Act proposed by the R.A.F. and ratified in the Senate, borders were opened to all spacefaring nations.

Re-Integration And Preservation of Natajara Station law

With the passing of the law the Outer Rim immediately began opening communication channels with multiple Democratic resistance cells within Natajara Station as well as disheartened elements of the Natajaran Armed Forces.

1651038184502.png


1651039107731.png


These communications have gone on for several months and have proved to be highly successful (RNG Roll was a critical success) almost immediately the disunited and frequently rivaled factions across Natajaran Station began to unify behind each other with the aim of overthrowing the Natajaran Armed Forces, disheartened elements within the Armed Forces careful spread word of dissent to their fellow trusted soldiers about the need to re-integrate into the Outer Rim Republic to bring prosperity to the station.



Over the past five years things have developed at a rapid pace with rebels secretly securing large caches of weaponry and with several Natajaran Corvettes having a majority of their crew's loyal to the rebel cause, this process continues by the day with the rebels getting stronger and stronger, waiting to make their move.



The rebels have informed the Outer Rim Republic that they are ready to seize the initiative and attack on January 2206, they believe that they will be able to potentially get three to four Natajaran Corvettes under their control while also causing major damage to the Natajaran Star Base which hovers over the systems star.



They also report confidence in their ability to seize the station themselves and overwhelm those loyal to the Natajaran Military however without the destruction of the Natajaran Fleet the threat of the military bombarding large swaths of the station is too high as such they have requested we aid them in the overtaking of Natajaran Station on January, 2206.






Expansion of Persephone's Hydroponic Bays



1651038905558.png


With the prospect of famine becoming ever more likely the government has approved through the Expansion Bill of 2211 to order construction of a new Hydroponic's Bay effectively doubling the food production of the Outer Rim Republic.




An Aim For Research On Saraswathi



1651038908919.png
1651038128512.png


As well as the construction of new Hydroponic Bays, a new Research District has begun construction on Saraswathi with the hope of further scientific research into the production of agriculture as to ensure no one in the Outer Rim Republic goes hungry again.






Saabir Muhammad Hakin of the Social Equity Alliance Deploys The Outer Rim Republic's Envoys

1651039299732.png


With the Outer Rim Republic possessing three diplomatic envoy's one was sent to infiltrate Natajaran Station and aid with the rebels unifying, one was sent to the Outer Rim Merchant Federation to improve relations while the last was sent to the distant Republic of Beastivs in the southern Outer Rim, a fledgling yet democratic nation.





Construction of new Energy and Mineral Refiners On Asteroids And Uninhabitable Planets

1651039506853.png


Per the Outer Rim Republic Expansion Bill several new Mineral and Energy Credit refineries have begun construction within the Republic's borders as to increase mineral output.





Recent Constructions Require Mineral Good Imports

1651039618422.png


To keep up with expansion requirements as determined by the Senate the Outer Rim Republic agreed to purchase 500 mt of pure minerals for further construction projects spending 566 G.C.E.C. [Galactic Community Energy Credit's] the equivalent of 56.6% of the Senates appropriated budget for such purchases as to grow the Outer Rim's Economy.

Shortly after these purchases, they quickly were proved to be insufficient leading to another 400 mt of minerals being purchases capping out the budget for new mineral purchases for the Outer Rim.

Meanwhile improved methods of mining have seen a massive increase in production on Hephaestus with some estimates saying up to 20%






A Miracle

1651041666174.png


As food reserves quickly began to run out starvation for in the Republic seemed extremely likely however a scientific discovery found not only an scientific anomaly of floating flora ripe with food but also a massive amount of excess food which was immediately sent back to the Republic saving the Republic from starvation due to the Senate's incompetence. Thank God for Scientists.












The Galactic Community Begin's It's Third Session

New Warships Enter Construction
1651040139336.png

per the 2210 Outer Rim Republican Armed Forces procurement bill a total of seven new Corvette's have been ordered for the Outer Rim's Navy which will bring it's total force up to ten corvettes, with one corvette being laid down every year from 2210 to 2217.


Hephaestus Becomes More Unified, More Accepting.
1651040806955.png

Through the hardships endured by citizens on Hephaestus it may come as a surprise that a strong culture of unity has emerged among the entire population and it matters not if you are Cervasian, Rimean, Solian or Alvinian as all workers on Hephaestus have one anothers back.



Saraswathi Becomes More Scientifically Focused

https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/9630498


To ensure that every executive in the Republic has the support of the majority of citizens this amendment calls for an immediate reform to the voting system.

There shall be an immediate change to the electoral system of the Republic where the Executive positions shall no longer be voted in first-past-the-post single vote.

That system shall be replaced with an Instant runoff ranked-choice voting system,

During election day voters will rank the candidates in orders of 1 to whatever they fancy. Upon counting the votes the candidate who received the least number of votes will have those votes transferred to their second pick. This elimination round will continue until one candidate has over 50% of the vote.

All changes to the voting system that may take time will allow for the system to be implemented if it is approved by the Senate and the voters the following election-year 10 years after it is approved.

If approved this voting system will take effect in the 2230 election.







Anti-Starvation Bill
Proposed by the Red Star Alliance - Written by RAF
Yes: 311
No: 83
Abstain: 106



Buyout of 1000 food from the market in order to dodge starvation on our planets.
Construction of 2 Hydroponic farms in order to sustain the research facilities recently built. Seeing the lack of minerals, buyout of minerals from the market for this construction. Placement of the hydro stations will be based on the available workforce preferably on the newly acquired Natajara station.
Change of habitat profile from [Habitat] to more food focused one in Saraswathi.
Focus on the Cronus system regarding the Exploration Bill that passed last session in order to build the farms over recently discovered gas giant with food.

This bill's main task is to dodge the looming disaster of starvation. If we do not act, the future of our working class might be dark and short. We have to act now, due to the Senate being unable to propose any workarounds last time, Red Star Alliance proposed to spend our energy credits to fix the situation and hopefully, reduce the minus for the future allowing us to prosper.

Amendment 1: Placement of the hydro stations will be based on the available workforce preferably on the newly acquired Natajara station.




The Rescue Of Natajara Act
Proposed By O.R.E.P.

Yes: 433
No: 0
Abstain: 67


The Rebels we have aided in Natajara have requested our assistance and have stated that it will be the year 2217 when they will stage their attempt to overthrow the dictatorial Military Junta that currently rules the station as such I call for us to sign a formal bill authorizing our armed forces including the navy and army to aid Natajara Station in their coup attempt as to ensure stability in the Outer Rim Republic and to rescue our fellow citizens from oppression, authoritarianism and abuse.

On the year 2217 we shall through cooperation with the Natajaran Rebels enter Natajara Station and engage and defeat all enemy vessels that are still loyal to the Natajaran Armed Forces and if needed aid the Rebels in securing Natajara Station.

This bill will see the reunification of the Outer Rim Republic and will see ourselves standing against tyranny and most importantly treason.

* All Military Junta leaders proven to have conducted war crimes are to be arrested immediately upon seizure of the Station and are to be judged in the courts of the Outer Rim Republic for their crimes.

* Natajaran Station will immediately be re-integrated into the Outer Rim Republic and a 1,000 EC fund will be established to remove the current Military Stronghold and replace it with a new building which will be decided in an different bill.

* The 1,000 EC fund will be utilized to rebuild slums within Natajara and help reintegrate the rebel held areas of the station into the Administrative and Military sections of the Station remove blockers

* All Natajaran Citizens will be given citizenship to the Outer Rim Republic.

* All remaining Natajaran Naval Vessels if there are any left will be recommissioned into the Outer Rim Republican Navy.





Deciding ORIA's budget
Yes: 306
No: 0
Abstain: 194


While the bill creating ORIA has passed and the director has already been chosen, the amount of money ORIA will receive to fund its *operations and pay its employees remains undecided.

Any senator can propose any amount of credits to be delegated to the agency in the span of a fiscal year, and the amount of credits that receives the biggest support in the senate shall be the size of ORIA's budget for the fiscal year.

Credits that have been delegated to ORIA's budget but have not been spent in the span of a fiscal year will be added up to its budget in the next fiscal year, unless a senator calls for a vote to decide otherwise

*an operation is almost any action performed by the agency, that includes: investigations, interrogations, espionage, construction and secret deals



The Outer Rim Republic's 2215 Spending Bill
Written By The O.R.C.P. and Rational Bloc*

Yes: 411
No: 0
Abstain: 89


Topic 1: Sale of Consumer Goods
To secure a stable production of food and mineral goods which are both dangerous low within our Republic the Republic calls for the selling of all additional Consumer Goods over the stockpile of 300 for the period between 2215-2220 to help pay for additional parts of this bill.

Topic 2: Purchase of Food & Minerals Within The Outer Rim Republic
The lack of minerals within the Outer Rim Republic have caused great suffering and have all but stopped out production of new mining outposts as well as the lack of food reserves with no fund available to purchase more.

As such this bill calls for a 2,000 Energy Credit Discretionary Fund to be spent on additional minerals and food stuffs when needed to ensure sufficient stocks of minerals to keep up with Senatorial Bills as well as to ensure the citizens of our Republic do not go hungry. Any Consumer Goods sold during this bill count as additional funds on top of the 2,000 Energy Credit Discretionary Fund to ensure projects are funded.

Topic 3: Modernization of the Navy's Armor
With the technological discovery of Ceramo-Metal Armor all warships should be immediately upgraded with this new class of armor as to better protect our vessels especially with the prospect of protecting the citizens of Natajara Station on the horizon. This will cost an expected 64 alloys for our current vessels and will make the last two vessels to be constructed 16 alloys more expensive. Yet the defensive capabilities are immense. It is a cheap price to save our soldiers lives.

Topic 4: Focus On Building Mining Facilities On Asteroids + Celestial Bodies
To get ourselves out of the extremely low mineral deficit we find ourselves in, a major effort should be put towards building new mineral asteroids.

Amendment
All food shall be 50/50 purchased from Earth and Cervasia to ensure low costs




Failed Bills


Declaration of the Status of Natajara Station
Proposed by: New Imperial Mandate
Co-Signatory: Outer Rim Conservative Party

Yes: 237
No: 111
Abstained: 152

It’s time to make clear how we stand in regards to Natajara Station. With this act, we declare Natajara Station to be sovereign territory of the Outer Rim Republic. We recognize the citizens of Natajara as rightful citizens of the Republic. If Natajara’s unlawful occupation continues, they shall be treated as unlawful militants in Republic Space oppressing republic citizens. This bill does not support military action in itself, but rather legally denies the existence of Natajara as a soveriegn state and declares its citizens Rimean.




Critical Resources protection Act
Proposed by: Honorable Mankind

Yes: 228
No: 9
Abstained: 263

We are a small nation and do not have many resources, especially food and minerals. And with the future return of Natajara Station we will likely be in a consumer goods deficit once again. This is why we got to protect these resources from looters and thieves which could attempt to steal such materials. With there being so many parties and ideologies there is also a chance that a radical group would attempt to destroy such resources or steal hem so that they could build some weapon, like a bomb. This is why I propose that we allow for businesses handling critical Resources to be able to own firearms and give them to their guards. Of course these people will have to pass various tests and give a give proof of their business handling critical resources.







Senate Abstain Reform Referendum Bill
Referendum Drafted By: Gramis Solider & Carter Penn of the SSA
Referendum Endorsed By: SEA,

Yes: 233
No: 117
Abstained: 150

The Problem
Within senatorial sessions, there are three options for voting. Any motion is either supported, opposed, or the person gets the choice to abstain. The issue is that abstaining is basically synonymous with a vote of “no”. In truth, most of the senatorial Seats that go towards "Abstaining" are in fact seats which the party was unable to come to a conclusion before the end of the Senate session, and so there have already been 2 or 3 examples of a bill that's had high support amongst the Senate, but due to an abstain/absence counting functionally as a "no", it did not pass. This bill seeks to remedy that. Some of the parties in the Senate also may choose "abstain" as their vote in order to vote against bills and motions by a technicality, whilst seeming more neutral. Abstaining, if used in this way, should be seen as a polite or neutral standpoint that should not count as if it was a vote of no from a Senate seat. It clogs up our governmental process and only stirs anger as it is this way. But Abstaining can still remain a valid option, it just requires to be reformed.

The Solution
Section 1 - Abstaining
If a political party or an independent(s) which hold seats within the Outer Rim Republic wishes to vote on a bill or motion, there will remain three options: Yay, Nay, or Abstain.
When a party chooses to vote “abstain”, their abstaining vote will only count as one half of a nay vote.
Section 2 - Implementation
The implementation will occur immediately after the electoral cycle of 2210-2220, after which within the Senate the new procedure of abstaining will take effect.
If there are an odd number of “abstain” votes, then the number should not be rounded up, as the last abstain does not count as a full blown nay.
Section 3 - Speculatory Effects
This Bill will effectively make passing bills follow this rule :
In order for a bill to pass votes of Yay must be more than the addition of Nay and half of Abstain.
Yay > Nay + Abstain/2
For example, there are 200 Yay votes and 300 Abstain votes (this is purely theoretical), since there isn’t much popular opposition to the bill, the 300 abstain votes would only count as 150 nay votes, 200 > 150, bill passed. It allows bills with high popular support and low opposition to be passed even if there is a large quantity of absentees.
If there is a problem with this current system, then senators that end up abstaining should be urged to attend senate meetings wherever they can.





Modern Dueling
Proposed by: Honorable Mankind

Yes: 196
No: 195
Abstained: 109

People in life get into a lot of disputes and sometimes even take it to court which turns it into a long and grueling process where both parties pay a lot of money. So it would be optimal to reintroduce duels, and of course they wouldn't be to the death and would have many requirements and safeguards placed in.

First of all both parties need to agree to do it and such agreement does not count if they are under the influence.

There must be at least one neutral person to watch over the fight to make sure that both opponents are ok, that person can be a government officer.

If the duel is for a major dispute like property then both parties must sign that the winner will receive it.

No form of weapons can be used in a duel, the only weapon allowed is your fists.

You may not significantly damage another person on purpose and if you do you automatically lose and must pay for his injury.

This bill does not cost us, and it is not forced upon anybody, if somebody thinks that they would rather fight instead of talk it out, it's their choice.






Small Business Consumer Goods Production Incentivization Act
Written by Lisette Oswald

Yes: 240
No: 133
Abstained: 127

The deficit we face with consumer goods is unsustainable, yet increasing our imports is a costly endeavor and our industrial production is better suited to focus on the more valuable production of alloys. Therefore, this bill seeks relieve our consumer goods deficit, by orientating our economy toward incentivizing and facilitating small business production and trade of consumer goods. In the immediate term we expect this law to help eliminate our deficit in consumer goods, serve as a superior alternative to imports and in the medium and long term generate more revenue than the current arrangement.

(In Game Effect: switch from Wealth Creation to Consumer Benefit Trade Policy)






The Right of Home for All Act
Witten and Proposed by the Unified Peoples Alliance (UPA) supported by Red Star Alliance

Yes: 139
No: 186
Abstained: 175

We now stand united as a Republic with the rights of all of our citizens able to be represented. The Old Central Government held its power above us all and used all of our resources to get us through tough times. Those days are behind us and now the power is in the hands of the people and this Republic. No longer should a family have to worry about being removed from their home to go work on some distant station, away from friends and family. Our citizens should know their lives and homes are protected from the government and that they can live comfortable without needing to worry. No longer should it be possible for this Republic to remove people from their homes and lives.

- This Bill will change our Republic's policy of Resettlement to Prohibited, allowing our people to choose where they live within our Republic.
- Under no circumstance can the Republic force our population to move from their homes and lives.





National Promotion Heavy Industrial Production of Alloys Act
Written by: Lisette Oswald (L.O.)

Yes: 51
No: 261
Abstained: 188

Recognizing the greater value on the galactic market of alloy over consumer goods production for a comparable investment of raw materials and labor, this bill seeks to incentivizes prioritize the production of alloys over consumer goods in our heavy industry, so that the increased value of our economic output can strengthen our economy including incentivizing small business production of consumer goods and making imports more affordable.

The Domestic Production Bill
Contributors: Alex Gilbert, HCP
Published by: Chancellor Hakim

Yes: 240
No: 186
Abstained: 74

There is a large amount of resources that are still sourced from outside of the republic. In such unprecedented times it is important to not allow workers to have the value of their labour undercut - otherwise there is little reason for businesses to not consider outsourcing to some other place where worker welfare is not considered.

Any import or string of successive exports of resources that are produced domestically of a total value of over 450 Energy Credits shall be paired with a payment to government investment into domestic industry
If this import is made by the government or on behalf of the government then an amount equaling no less than a third of the value of the import shall be put aside to invest in domestic industry.
If this import has been made by a corporation or large business, or on behalf of such entity, then an amount equalling no less than 15% of the value of import shall be paid for government industry investments
If this import has been made solely for an individual who is not acting on behalf of the government or a small business and plans to utilise these resources for some reason other than in the interests of a larger business, then an amount no less that 4.5% of the value of import shall be paid for government industry investments
In government projects, resources available domestically should be prioritised over import, as imports can undermine the value of labour, which could put domestic industry out of business or cause significant wage loss.
In the event of supply chain difficulties, in scenarios that require urgent action, or in the event of industrial action coinciding with a state of emergency, the government can approve a bypass of these restrictions
In game mechanics:
Whenever anything is imported, The extra tariff is recorded by Magnum, who can then convert the energy credits accumulated into whatever resources are needed to upgrade or build a facotry, etc.

The Fall of Natajura Station

1651214504222.png

With the Senate passing the Rescue of Natajara Act it sealed the Outer Rim Republic towards going to war in the year 2217.
The future of the Republic would be decided in 2217.



Outer Rim Republican Navy's Armor Refitted

1651214696127.png

The discovery and refinement of Ceramo-Metal Armor similar to that used upon older Cervasian and Earth Warships was a massive breakthrough for the Republican Navy and as such every warship was ordered to be equipped with this new some-what modern armor plating.



Diplomatic Attempts With The Republic of Beastivs

Per instruction of the Foreign Relations Act of 2215 a team of Rimean Envoys have been deployed with the aim of building relations with the Republic of Beastivs particularly in the form of establishing a trade and non-aggression pact however the Republic of Beastivs is still too wary to agree to such a major step and as such is continuing talks.





Securing The Republic's Food Stores

1651215079285.png




Per the Anti-Starvation Bill proposed by the R.A.F. a massive purchase was made for 1,000 MT of Food as to temporarily end the Republic being under threat of famine, this purchase was made in total for the sum of 1417 G.C.E.C.





!The Republic Starts Exporting!



1651215207724.png


Per the Outer Rim Republic's 2215 Spending Bill proposed by the O.R.C.P. & Rational Bloc any Consumer Good excess of 300 MT has begun being sold to foreign nations to help reinforce the Republic G.C.E.C. budget.




AND.... RIGHT BACK TO IMPORTS

1651215348208.png


Per the Outer Rim Republic's 2215 Spending Budget 2,000 G.C.E.C. has been put aside to purchase Minerals as needed to aid with the Republic's construction and expansion projects with any additional funds made from Consumer Goods also going towards this budget, already 1,000 MT's of Minerals have been purchased to aid with new construction projects.





It's Food.. I Am Not Complaining!

Although our scientists are utterly stumped on how this is possible and have ruled it to some form of advanced Ancient Precursor side project, the Gas Giant of Cronus II has several massive floating islands covering in lush and edible fruit and with it a massive mission has begun being under taken to create one of the Republic's largest agricultural projects on this new planet to help ease the food deficit.

Earlier in the year of 2217 it appears that packs of Dangerous Wildlife have migrated into a formally unoccupied area of Hephaestus nearly doublign their former range. This is likely due to the removal of automated Precursor Gun Turrets from the Hephaestus Homestead Act.






The Reunification of The Outer Rim Republic

1651216608033.png


Stage 1:
The Natajaran Naval Revolt


On January 1st, 2217 the High Command of the Natajaran Armed Forces were immediately caught off guard by news that three of their corvettes were reporting reports of violence onboard their vessels, these reports of violence immediately escalated into reports of an all out revolt against the warships crew loyal to the Natajaran Republic .

The remaining four Natajaran Naval Corvettes began encircling the vessels that were under siege as combat erupted within each of the Corvette's thousand man crews the details coming out were horrendous as reports of close range melee were rampant across the warships with hallways being splattered with red as chunks of meat and bone flew across the hallways, dormitories and even bridges of the vessels as even Natajaran Marine detachments onboard the vessels turned on each other.

Seeing the carnage unfolding and with rebel forces clearly securing foothold and foothold onboard each of the vessels decided to do the unthinkable as the loyalist Natajaran Warships began unloading thousands of Mass Driver rounds into their own warships which had their deflector shields disabled to conserve power.

As the rebel forces continued to make ground on the three corvettes their advance was cut short by the barrage of mass driver rounds tearing into loyalist and rebel alike, shredding the three Natajaran Corvette's apart as metal and flesh spewed outwards in the dark expanse of space.

The firing upon the warships was a major set back to the Natajaran Rebels as they did not expect such a swift and brutal reaction and had hoped to secure the warships and then retreat to the Hyperlane where they would await the Outer Rim's Navy.

Meanwhile on the Starbase orbiting Natajara Station not to be confused with the actual Natajaran Habitat several massive explosions erupted from across the station at critical junctions alerting the Natajaran High Command that the coup was not yet defeated but in fact this was clearly a much larger operation that previous thought.

Shortly afterwards an energy spike was detected at the Natajaran Hyperlane as the Outer Rim's Republican Navy jumped into the system going full speed towards the gravely weakened Natajaran Navy.


Stage 2:
The Navies Clash


As the Republican Navy entered the Natajaran System led by Head Admiral Samuel Ross of the I.D.P. it immediately began an sustained burn towards the now damaged Natajaran Station and the remaining four vessels of the Natajaran Navy, the Outer Rim Republican Navy's four Miranda Class Missile Corvettes were the first to open fire as they launched several low yield fission nuclear warheads towards the scrambling Natajaran Navy which immediately began conducting an Emergency Burn to close the distance so their mass driver's could engage.

As the Natajaran Warships entered mass driver range and began opening fire they too began being pelted by thousands of mass driver rounds with their deflector shields taking massive strain with estimates stating the deflectors would only be operational for another 30-45 seconds of sustained fire.

Just as the Natajaran Warship the "Falchion"'s deflectors went offline three low-yield nuclear missiles closed their distance with the first being shot down by a stray mass driver round while the second was narrowly avoided by a high stress turn, the third however struck into the side of the vessels center-mass tearing the ship nearly in two as its reactor immediately was forced offline and its life support deactivated.

Meawhile the O.R.R.S.S. Soma, the Corvette which had been previously Captained by Frederick Torres before he became Minister of Defense began sustaining heavy damage as its deflectors were overwhelmed and several mass driver rounds began over-penetrating through the hull of the vessel in which only the quick actions of other ship captains who maneuvered to take the brunt of the Natajaran Mass Driver's saved the Soma from being turned into Swiss Cheese.

As the Soma attempted to recover and began reporting casualties the O.R.R.S.S. Lancer and Ernest Corvettes began high stress maneuvers to close the distance between them and the suppressed Natajaran Corvette "The Faithful", upon closing the distance the two corvettes opened up on the suppressed corvette and within seconds the sustained close-range mass driver rounds overwhelmed the outdated Deflector systems of the Faithful allowing the full brunt of the mass driver bombardment rain down upon the stranded vessel. Within seconds the vessels lights turn off due to the destruction of its reactor as a final volley into the Faithful's bridge created several large craters in the bridge as venting air began to peter out on the vessel.

Mere moments later the Natajaran warship known as "The Harpy" was struck by two direct hits from the Miranda's Class fission missiles causing gaping holes in the center mass of the vessel and effectively disabled its combat capabilities, sensing the tide of the battle had turned against the Natajaran's their last remaining Corvette "The Ernest" began an Emergency Burn away from the battle only to have its exposed engines torn to shreds as Republican Warships stopped it's pursuit leading to the disabled warship unloading its remaining Mass Driver rounds into the O.R.R.S.S. Soma which had been in the process of withdrawing from the battlefield.

The Soma was struck by several dozen mass driver rounds before "The Ernest" was unloaded on by the Republican Navy and torn to shreds however a bright light temporarily stopped the battle as the O.R.R.S.S. Soma erupted into a flash as it's nuclear reactor had gone to critical due the final volley of "The Ernest" as the Soma disintegrated into dust.

With the remaining warships effectively disabled or destroyed attention turned towards the Space Station as the nine Republican Warships began raining down hell upon the now stranded and out gunned station, which after several minutes of sustained bombardment opened up communications and requested a cease fire to which the Republican Navy accepted.


Stage 3:
The People RIse


With the Natajaran Navy destroyed and/or disabled the order was given to the Rebels on Natajaran Station who in the tens of thousands began an coordinated advance on the administrative region of the habitat while the Natajaran Armed Forces began deserting en masse due to the destruction of their navy.

What was expected to be a long and difficult struggle proved to be over in mere hours as far and wide across Natajaran Station the Armed Forces put down their weapons and surrendered to the rebels.

The Battle for Natajara Station had ended.

And With It Reunification Was Achieved.

The Stellarite Devourer Appears

1651219316591.png

As fighting errupted in the Natajaran System a lone cargo liner began reporting strange signals coming from the Sun of AX-769 before reported what appeared to be tentacles appearing from the star itself, although originally disregarded as hallucinations video feed several minutes later of a strange creature the size of a planet firing a beam of pure energy at the cargo ship before the feed cut off confirmed its existence.

A new Guardian was discovered....





The Sad State of Natajaran Station
1651219721109.png

As Republican Marines disembarked on Natajaran Station the extent of the mistreatment and mismanagement immediately became clear as the majority of the populations remaining population resided within completely unsupervised settlements with little to no regard to the Natajaran Government.

Almost immediately upon the seizure of Natajara experts were flown in as the massive district reserved for the Natajaran Armed Forces began to be torn down to make way for large Hydroponic Farms to help feed the suffering population.

1651219871265.png

With the seizure of Natajara Station, the seizure of it's resources came with it strongly reinforcing the stockpiles of the Outer Rim Republic.

As the research team continued its investigation on the ancient hive it became startled to discover that this hive seemed to have been active at the exact same time that the countless graveyards of warships and planets were dated back to have occurred, it seems that this hive had received a massive orbital bombardment before going into a state of hibernation which it seems to have died out while in this state.

Elections Close In Roughly 14 Hours :)
 
Chapter 14:
2220 Election Results

1651542834997.png

Polls have begun closing and there are several close races for us to watch closely!



Chancellorship
Let us start with the Chancellorship which is largely a rehash of 2210's with Saabir Muhammad Hakim of the Social Equity Alliance running for re-election while Callum Greenway of the National Party of Republican Prosperity running once again to take the Republic's top elective prize. These two candidates are neck and neck in polling while candidates such as Lisette Oswald of Lift Off and Ayden Cartwright of the New Imperial Mandate attempt once again to try to secure a surprise win.


1651542867667.png

The election was certainly surprising as Saabir Muhammad Hakin was re-elected as Chancellor abeit with a much smaller percentage than in the 2210 Election however Saabir did manage to have a larger advantage on his second place competitor who was once again Callum Greenway as Saabir went away with over 4% more of the vote.

Meanwhile Ayden Cartwright managed to surprisingly secure 18.65% of the vote which is astonishing as the candidate is openly supportive of introducing a Monarchy to the Outer Rim Republic!

Meanwhille Lissette Oswald and Alban Solimon secured 4th and 5th place in the election respectively.




Vice Chancellorship

1651542899470.png
The election for Vice Chancellor was by all means Macy Mallach's to lose as she had secured a super majority of endorsements from parties within the Senate with her opposition being that of Reid Rackheim a previously independent Senator who this electoral season ran on his newly established D.A.Y. party, while William Johnson returned for a second run for the Vice Chancellorship.

As expected Macy Mallach performed incredibly well and secured 58.7% of the vote in a major victory for herself and her party.

Minister of Defense

1651542924297.png

The race for Minister of Defense saw incumbent Frederick Torres running against Jaegar Wagner of the R.A.F. and Edward Creed of H.M. maybe pollsters expected that Edward Creed would be a spoil vote and possibly allow Jaeger Wagner to secure the position however it became apparent fairly quickly that Frederick had secured victory albeit with only a 6% lead.

Minister of Economic Development


1651542940832.png

The Minister of Economic Development position was one that was heavily speculated as a pure toss up as Incumbent Rufus Throne failed to secure a large portion of endorsements while Carter Penn of the S.S.A. had secured nearly triple that of Rufus. However stunningly Andreas Nyman of the newly formed R.N.C.P. party saw massive success in the election and managed to through largely the support of the working class glide to victory with nearly 5% more of the vote than any of his competitors.

Minister of Scientific Research & Development
1651542952495.png

For the Minister of Scientific Research and Development it was largely a clear cut case as pollsters correctly speculated the victory of Dalton Fifewood of the O.R.T.P. as he had secured a massively more endorsements than his sole competitor Yuri Svetlov of the U.P.P. however despite polling showing Dalton winning in the 70's to 80's surprisingly Yuri was highly competitive and secured 43.12 of the vote.

Senatorial Election
[Note if using the link. Make sure to on the top left click 2210 and change it to the 2220 Make up :) )
1651543135053.png

The Senatorial Election was as always highly contested however it did have some clear winners and losers.

Winners:

The O.R.C.P.
1651543008707.png

The O.R.C.P. managed to usurp S.E.A. as the largest party in the Senate securing 11 new seats in the election totaling 54 seats making it the largest party in the Senate and a for the foreseeable future a major influence in the Senate.


The Far Left
1651543017527.png
1651543051286.png

The Far-Left saw massive gains this election as the R.A.F. managed to gain +8 seats totaling 42 seats making them the third largest party in the Senate while the newly created R.N.C.P. secured a total of 38 Seats making them one of the largest parties in the Senate.


The Rational Bloc
The Rational Bloc composed between D.V., O.R.T.P., I.D.P., L.R.C. & P.E.C. managed to win big this election as previously held a total of 97 seats yet now control 109 seats a 12 seat gain in the 2220 election with the O.R.T.P. and D.V. securing the majority of these.


The New Imperial Mandate
1651543033637.png

The New Imperial Mandate which is known for it's pro-monarchist views surprisingly secured a total of 24 seats this election 13 seats up from 2210 and just one seat shy of being able to propose bills without a larger parties endorsement. This is a major sign of changing views in the Republic.


Losers:

The Social Equity Alliance
1651543003513.png


Previously the largest party in the Senate and despite re-winning the Chancellorship, S.E.A. saw massive losses this election losing a total of 16 Seats highly damaging their capabilities to properly lead the Senate as well as views that Saabir's support may be eroding due to his decreased vote share.


The Moderate-Left
The moderate left was "butchered" in the 2220 Election with the Moderate Left losing 37 Seats overwhelmingly to the Far-Left showing a general erosion in support for the Moderates.


The Foundationalists

Chapter 15:
Senatorial Shake Up




Callum Greenway Two Time Chancellorship Candidate For The N.P.R.P. Leaves Politics.
Gone Is The N.P.R.P. Here Comes The National Front.

1651798563956.png

In a shocking twist shortly after the results of the 2220 Election Callum Greenway announced his departure from politics although he did announce he would continue his term as Governor of Mitra until removed from the position. This announcement led to the dissolution of the N.P.R.P. and its reformation as the National Front under the leadership of Thoran Jehil who is expected to bring the party on a largely rightward shift.

However this political shift did lead to two senators departing the party and instead joining the O.R.C.P.



The Formation of the Republican Curtain
1651799325695.png


Composed of a rather surprising alliance between the New Imperial Mandate, Honorable Mankind and the newly established National Front the Republican Curtain is the newest coalition to enter the Senate composed of a total of 65 Seats.



The League of the Republican Center Is Merged With The Outer Rim Conservative Party
1651799501426.png


The League of the Republican Center was merged with the O.R.C.P. after the prior parties poor performance in the elections of 2220 with the L.R.C. only gaining 4 Seats down from 11.



Collapse of the Social Equity Alliance [S.E.A.]




1651799632164.png


From The Desk of Chancellor Saabir of the S.E.A.



Future of the SEA and the Chancellorship



Chancellor and leader of the SEA, Saabir Muhammad Hakim, stands in front of a small crowd gathered in the SEA headquarters.



I will start this off by skipping the formalities and giving the facts, the Social Equity Alliance is dissolving. The party has long been an amalgam of different ideologies and for s while it was all united behind me, but directly after the last election where I was re-elected chancellor, half of my party commissioners left the party and I honestly haven't heard anything from them, they are still around, but they do not seem to care for the SEA no longer, after this occurrence it also dawned on the party that our long time allies and voting bloc members have also practically left us, in fact this morning I, in a private meeting, formally dissolved that bloc too, though none of the attendees seemed to care as it was mostly a formality at that point.



My general party members have either left the association with my party and joined another party, or seem to have retired completely. I have already discussed the dissolution of the SEA with the government and the report about the re-allocation of the SEA's seats within the senate will be available publicly soon.



I will still remain as Chancellor and Senator, and hence I will keep my one seat. I will be considered an "independent" for the rest of my tenure as Chancellor.



I apologise profusely for all those who voted for me in the last election and I still thank you, I will continue my job, but on my own for now, though some of my personal friends will be assisting me. I will be working without the backing of the SEA.

Me and my friends are currently working on the proposals to the Second and Third Fairness Acts, expect those to be put before the senate in five years.



Thank you all for coming, and good day to you all.



Chancellor and former leader of the SEA, Saabir Muhammad Hakim, then silently exits the building.



The following parties will gain these seats (out of the 40 SEA seats) as according to SEA split and re-allocation:




Saabir, Independant: 1 seat.

Saabir will remain as a Senator, hence he will keep his seat.



PIN: +5 seats.

The PIN, even as a newly formed party will receive a large sum of seats from the SEA, the senators chose to join the PIN as they believe in Natarajan representation an have families on the station.



SSA: +3 seats.

Former allies of the SEA, the SSA will gain those members of the SEA who held many positive religious views.



DV: +8 seats.

The DV, as one of the center's largest parties and a close friend of the SEA will be joined by those senators who admire their dedication and perseverance, even against all odds.



SDA: +9 seats.

The SDA, the party closest to the SEA's own beliefs and a long time ally, will ne joined those many senators who still believe strongly in the SEA's goals, yet are disenfranchised by Saabir's actions.



HCP: +9 seats.

The HCP, a proud ally of the SEA, will receive those senators who helped form the SEA, those who were once members of many a Hephaestean miner's unions.



RAF: +2 seats.

The RAF, a party that has long opposed the SEA, will receive those Senators who have never truly agreed with Saabir and by those who hold some of the more "extreme" leftist opinions.



ORCP: +3 seats.

The ORCP, an old opponent of the SEA, will be joined by those members of the SEA who were always too center or even described as right wing, even thought the SEA was a center-left party.






Current Senate Composition


1651799853578.png
















2220 Senate Meeting
No Speaker of the Senate Elected Yet..
1651800395596.png

As of this recording no Speaker of the Senate has been elected by the Outer Rim Republic with the votes being as such

Reid Rackheim of D.A.Y. - 6, 26, 52 - 74 total - 176 required
Reggie Barker of N.F. - 24, 16, 7, 11, 14 - 72 total - 178 required
Ernesto Bakisto of P.I.N. - 51, 39, 18, 14, 1, 8 ,63 - 194 total - 56 required
Alban Solimon of C.o.R.I. - 7 - 7 total - 243 required.

With Ernesto Bakisto of P.I.N. being a mere 56 votes shy at the time of writing this article it is uncertain if Senators will recast their votes or allow the coveted position to continue to be vacant.


The Fleet Expansion Act of 2220
And The Controversy Surrounding It.

1651798470821.png

The 2220 Fleet Expansion Act With the reunification of the Outer Rim Republic, a once hostile Habitat is now one of our own and with this we have officially become unified once again. However threats towards the Republic are still present and with the discovery of the Stellarite Devourer we need a stronger and more capable navy let alone the discovery of large pirate enclaves near our borders.

Act 1: Expanding The Fleet
The current navy sits at 9 Corvettes due to the loss of the O.R.S.S. Soma. We will construct three new Corvettes over the next three years with one being laid down every single year until production is completed.

Act 2: Establishing A Mobile Command Center
The Outer Rim Republic is in need of a Mobile Command Center as our borders continue to grow as such we call for the purchase of a "Rimean" Class Battle Carrier [Battleship] from the Cervasian Congressional Republic.

Image


This Battleship will be sold for 5,000 Energy Credits which although is a large sum of cash for our Republic to pay for it will be more than worth it for the security that it provides. This ship will be purchased in 2225.



The Controversy Surrounding The Bill
In the end the vote received 288 Yes Votes, 201 No Votes and 11 Abstentions.

However the fight for to get this bill was brutal and full of mudslinging on both ends of the spectrum with the Lift Off and Spiritual Solidarity Alliance parties leading the charge against the bill as they pointed that due to previously passed bills the Republic simply did not have the funding to afford its current commitments as well as purchase the new massive warship.

However Frederick Torres of the O.R.C.P. disagreed with the economic assessment as assured parties on the left, center and right that the funding to purchase the vessel and still keep the Republic's coffers afloat existed, this effectively convinced the Right and the majority of the Center while the entirety of the Left opposed the bill fully.

ORIA Spending Independence Bill
1651801754031.png

Written by Arthur Arcturus Namerene
Sponsored by ORCP

The ORIA already has an assigned agent and possesses a budget, yes, but recently a secretary from ORIA's citizen security office discovered that the current law doesn't allow for the agency to spend its own money without the senate's approval, which renders the budget practically useless

This bill is plain and simple - there shall be a clause added to the article about the senate's financial responsibilities that gives the Agency an exception from having to ask for the senate's approval when it wants to spend its own money.

These articles will be amended onto the Constitution of the Outer Rim Republic:

Article I: Every citizen is guaranteed the right of freedom. No citizen can be owned by any person.

Article II: No citizen can ever be denied their right of suffrage. Gerrymandering and undue restrictions on voting serve to deny the citizens’ of their right to vote.

Article IV: The State does not have the right to silence the opinions of citizens, unless the demonstration of those opinions directly creates danger to other persons or directly incites violence.

Article V: Citizens have the right to choose their personal religion.

Article VI: The citizens have a guarantee of security. The public armed forces serve the security of the people, rather than those who have the forces entrusted to them.

Article VII: Citizens are guaranteed the right to private property. If necessary for the stability, security, or development of the State, property can be seized, but must be adequately compensated.

Article VIII: The Law serves the people. As such, punishments must be strictly utilitarian and necessary.

Article IX: No citizen shall be arrested or detained for any reason outside of the Law.

Article X: The Law is an extension of the citizens’ wills. As such, the Law can only be amended and written by direct representatives of the people.

Article XI: No Law shall ever discriminate based on Race, Gender, Sexual Orientation, or Disability.

Article XII: All citizens are guaranteed the right to organize, given no laws are broken by the collective group.

Hepaestus functioned for five years without a governor, and it could flourish again. The Natajrian station has a similar interim governing body to that proposed - however this would see it as a permanent solution.
This Act will enact a democratic referendum for all adults with a permanent address on Hephaestus or another proof of permanent residence in 2223. Should a majority vote in favour, then the Outer Rim Republic has the following responsibilities:
Provide for the creation of a public forum to take on many of the functions of the Hephaestus Governorship, such as manage agencies and implement planet wide policy, no later than the year 2226
Enshrine the aforementioned forum with the legal right to act in the interests of those living on Hephaestus, on matters small and large
Reduce the role of the governor of Hephaestus to accommodate the aforementioned forum, and provide the forum the legitimacy and power to remove the governor from office, and undertake the duties and responsibilities of the role in a state of emergancy
In game mechanics:
The “Direct Democracy” modifier is added to Hephaestus.
