The Alsatian Empire is one of the galactic superpowers. It is notable for it's wealth, trade connections, high technology and possessing one of the most powerful land armies and the largest fleet in the galaxy. The Empire is led by an elected Emperor, the Imperial Council, the Curia and the Imperial Senate and it consists of ten planets, all of which have their own representatives in the Senate. The Alsatian Empire, first known as the Tarquinian Empire, was formed thousands of years ago. After overrunning the whole planet Alsatia the name was changed to the current one and Alsatians expanded to space, spanning currently their total ten systems. Alsatians are known for their high, but practical technology and very effecient industry. Quality over quantity is their motto, so Alsatian products tend to be long lasting.
The Government
The Emperor
The Emperor is the leading figure of Alsatia and he is greatly involved in the decision making. Unlike older times, the Emperor's role is more practical than ceremonial and as such, many of the old court ceremonies and glamour has been eliminated and the Emperor's position made an electorial one, emphasizing the fact that the Emperor too, is just another Alsatian. The Emperor is elected by the members of the Curia from canditates chosen among the senators. An Emperor's term is six years.
The Curia
The Curia is a council of twelve men which purpose is to monitor the Emperor and act as his advisors. More so they also elect the Emperor and have the power to dismiss one as well. The members of the Curia ae chosen among the senators. The members of Curia may remain in the Curia so long as the Senate allows. Most of all, the Curia is there to ensure that the one man, this meaning the Emperor, doesn't become too powerful, quite ironically, members of the Curia reign much longer than an Emperor and they have great influence over the Emperor's decision making.
The Senate
The Legistive branch of the government, the Senate consists of 1000 Senators from various parts of the Empire. They are meant to represent their homeworlds in the senate, but system has became corrupt and insanelt bureaucractic, effectively allowing most senators to remain on their posts election after election with only their own interests in mind. Everyone can apply to become a senator, but only a few have the riches to conduct a huge campaing and please the people enough to get elected. Many senators sit in the board of executives of the Empire's most prominent corporations so shameless lobbying is very common in the senate.
The Imperial Councils
Displaying the corporationism in the Empire is the Imperial Councils. A council gathers the specialists of a certain area under one organization. for example, council of science consists of scientists, whereas council of strategy of strategists. Many corporations are so big to have a council of their own, involving them directly in Imperial decision making. There are two types of councils, government councils and private councils. Government counsils are run by government and are the most crucial councils whereas the private councils consist largely of corporations.
