INES III: Storm Tapestry

Abaddon just confirmed his reservation via PM, so contact him that way if you want to talk to Mexico.

Also, for all you lurkers, good countries to take include the Inca Republic, which is militant and all ready to start acting crazy, Ethiopia, which is a monarchy and has license to turn to just about whatever ideology it wants, and the Roman Republic, which is in a bit of domestic turmoil but has such name recognition I'm surprised no one picked it up yet.

For a real challenge, of course, there's Romania. Surviving to the end of the game with that one will definitely get you an award.

Premier, and Head Worker, and Hero of the Revolution, the Kélen Toumani

Premier, and Head Worker, and Hero of the Revolution, the Kélen Toumani sat in his office, in the still under construction 'United Workers Hall of Governance', situated in central Bamako. He closed his eyes, the first rest he had alloted himself in several days. The 'United Workers Hall of Governance' was the de facto Capital building of the Union, and has been since the turn of the century. The Hall has never truly been completed, instead, as soon as work nears completeion, a referendum has been held, either to prolong the construction end to another date, instead assigning workers to other tasks, to add on to the previous buildings size and scale, or (in the case of the 'Referendum of the Workers Hall of Governance in the Year of 1999') orders for an entirely new Hall to be built, with the old one destroyed in the process. No one really seems to notice anyway. Work is being done, after all. And work, after all, was the point of the Kélen Toumani's life.

The quiet, soothing hum of the room tone that filled, and calmed the Kélen Toumani's ears was broken with some loud clattering, foodsteps, and finally, the metal squeel of one of the building's many iron doors being opened. In walked the Kɔnɔntɔn Mala, and the Kɔnɔntɔn Doata, both straightfaced, calm, and leaving the Kélen Toumani feeling a strange sense of accomplishment- no emotions. They've been working hard.

Straightening himself, the Kélen Toumani leaned foward, looking at the two uniformed men, adourning matching metals and other assorted ribbons from various campaigns in the Congo. He stared at them, waiting for one of them to speak. Then laughed to himself; they wouldn't speak. He should have known better. They sure do.

"Hail Comrade Kɔnɔntɔn, and Kɔnɔntɔn. What information do you have to present to the Kélen?"

The two men stared forward, knowing better then to make eye contact. A slight curl of the lip on the Kɔnɔntɔn Doata's lip appeared, and disappeared quickly. A mistake. A corrected one, yes, but a mistake is a mistake. But the Kɔnɔntɔn is new, and so leverage may be given, for now. Doata stepped forward, revealing a peace of paper with the envoy of from Egypt's signature clearly seen on it.

"The Kélen Toumani is advised to read and respond to this message from our Egyptian comrades to the best of his ability. Faith of Union in You Comrade."

And with that, the Kɔnɔntɔn Doata clacked his heels, while the Kɔnɔntɔn Mala saluted, and turned, walking straight out of the door, followed closely by the Kɔnɔntɔn Doata. Silence, again. But this time, the Kélen Toumani did not notice it whatsoever. He was too busy studying the peace of paper delivered to him by the Kɔnɔntɔn Doata.

We prefer to maintain unofficial ties. We have our own distinct socialist culture, after all, and formal association would no doubt subordinate our interests to yours.

"Utterly ridiculous." The Kélen Toumani muttered to an empty room. "Perhaps we shall try elsewhere." He drew a heavy sigh, and made his way back to his desk. After gazing out the window to collect his thoughts a bit, he got to work. After several minutes of precisely chosing the wording on his letter, he pressed a button on his desk, notifying the Náani Ghara that he would be of service. Leaning back, The Kélen Toumani waited to hear the familiar squeel of the steel door once more. And, as if by command, it came, followed by the appearance of the Náani Ghara. With a simple nod, the Náani Ghara new his duty, and duly took the note laying on the Kélen Toumani's desk, without so much as uttering a word. He left the room, with the slam of the steel door as a sort of exclamation point added to his exit. And so the silence resumed.

OOC: I'll post a more updated a logical history tomorrow or Sunday.

I claim the Roman Republic.

Prime Minister(s): Alexander Hamilton, (1787-1797) Monarchist

King George was the founder of the dynasty that would rule this nation. He is considered the Father of His country for His actions. When it became clear that the American colonies could not be ruled by the British, King George became General Washington, and He was put in command of the Continental Army, which, with French aid, was able to secure victory over the British. However, after the war, the delegates squabbled, and many in the Continental Army went unpaid as the squabbles continued. Many of the newly freed nation believed that the nation would be destroyed by internal fighting, and, led by Alexander Hamilton, they turned to General Washington to secure the nation. By the insistence of Hamilton, a new monarchy was created, and they asked George to take the throne. Realizing his country still needed him, George accepted the crown. As his first act as King, Washington had to put down the Albany Confederation that had attempted to defect from the nation. With his victory there, King George began constructing a capital, facilitating the unification of sectional divides, and strengthening the nation. He did institute the Parliament of the United States on the model of Great Britain, and asked Alexander Hamilton to be the nation’s first Prime Minister , where Hamilton excelled at. Although no direct rebellions occurred during his reign after Albany, many Governors were in contention with King George, and it was difficult to have royal rule completely dominate the country. Although he did not have any children of his own, he selected his step grandson and adopted son, George Washington Parke Curtis to succeed him as King. King George though is consistently well regarded, for he created the Royal Army, Parliament, and gave recognition to the Atlantic Kingdom throughout Europe.


Prime Minister(s): Alexander Hamilton, (1797-1816) Monarchist
John Marshall, (1816-1832) Monarchist
John Quincy Adams, (1832-1836) Monarchist
Daniel Webster, (1836-1850) Whig
Samuel Cooper, (1851-1857) Monarchist

The young King George II was not his father, that was very clear. Unlike his father, George II was much for pomp and circumstance, as shown in his coronation in Washington, the first such occasion. However, he was weaker than his father was in leadership, and left many decisions to his Prime Minister, Alexander Hamilton. With Hamilton’s aid, in his first few years, the Royal Navy was founded, the banks were centralized. However, that was only the initial moves Hamilton had planned. In 1802, a rebellion in the Carolinas left Hamilton with a unique position. He order the Royal Army in, and captured the governor, declaring him disloyal to the King. With the Royal Army in occupation of the Carolinas, Hamilton reworked the laws governing the states, and installed governors appointed by the King. As the original governors throughout the realm died, resigned, or rebelled, the South Carolina model was followed, and a new Royal Governor was instituted, usually with a new noble title. With revolutionary winds blowing from France, many in the Atlantic Kingdom felt a second rebellion was needed, as their own countrymen began oppressing them under the pretext of noble title. Led by Virginian Thomas Jefferson, the Jeffersonian rebellion of 1804 spread throughout the Kingdom, and using French Louisiana as a base, they began attacking. Hamilton, seeing another opportunity, created an alliance with Britain, and invaded French Louisiana. Though the war was difficult, facing three threats in France, the native Americans and the rebels, help from Britain and the excellent leadership of the Royal Army by General Andrew Jackson, led to the ultimate Royal victory in 1809, cumulating in the Battle of New Orleans, giving General Jackson a noble title. With Jefferson’s execution, Hamilton rested easier, and relinquished power to John Marshall, a man of noted skill. Under Marshall’s Prime Ministry, the Republican Party was suppressed, and the Crown put even more pressure upon its Governors and its realms. Marshall was quite fearful of another Republican revolution, but when a raid came from Spanish Florida, Marshall and George II ordered Lord Jackson to take Florida, despite Lord Jackson’s suspected Republican sympathies. After the Florida crisis, supported by the British, Duke John Quincy Adams declared that the European powers were not to interfere in matters in the Americas, setting the Crown’s foreign policy in that regard. However, the Monarchist government of Marshall became unpopular, and the evidence was clear as the more moderate Whig Party began gaining power in both the House of Commons and in the House of Lords. Marshall attempted to save his party be resigning in favor of Duke Adams, but the damage was done; the people and the governors supported the policies of the Whigs. Realizing the nation could not sustain another rebellion at the time, Duke Adams resigned, and recommended to King George II that he ask Lord Daniel Webster to form a new government with the support of the Whigs. Webster accepted, and with his nationalist, protectionist, and modernist views, the nation grew. Roads were improved, and Royal aid went out to businesses as a new wave of industry and factories were hitting the Kingdom. King George II was concerned with how this was changing the balance of the nation, but in the end, he decided to do nothing concerning the policies of his new minister. When Lord Webster died, he appointed General Samuel Cooper as Prime Minister, hoping to bring back more conservative policies. Although as a leader himself, King George II was not nearly as skilled as a father, there are two things that made up for that. The first was his recognition of higher talent in others, allowing his very skilled ministers and nobles run the nations affairs, and the second, was allowing his daughter, Mary Anna Curtis, to succeed him on the throne in order to enthrone a very strong and powerful King.


Prime Minister(s): Albert Sidney Johnston (1857-1862) Monarchist
P.G.T. Beauregard (1862-1876) Whig

King Robert and Queen Mary’s ascension to the throne was well received by many of their commoner subjects, yet many in the nobility feared the new King. They were so used to pushing around the ineffectual King George II, that they feared a loss of their powers were coming. King Robert was heavily concerned with the struggles of the nation’s economics and their effect on politics. The Whig’s policies had helped modernize the nation’s economy greatly, but many of the new factories were located in the North, owned by wealthy commoners, though Southern Lords were required to still buy many of their industrial goods and textiles from them due to the high tariffs. King Robert tried to show he was with the conservatives by appointing Duke Albert Johnston to the office of Prime Minister, but many lords still feared the winds of change, as evidenced by the renewed growth of the Republican Party. The Southerners were joined by the Northern Lords, who were also supporters of the conservative Monarchist party. Together, they stood in opposition of the “New Rich”, who owned the factories and the railroads. These fears came to a head during the elections of the early 1860’s. In 1860, the realm of Ohio elected a legislature that would give the Republican Party two thirds of the control of the state’s government. Upon orders from King Robert, the Royal Army moved in and the Ohio legislature was put under Royal control. Under direction of Lee, the Royal Governor created a legislature balanced of the Republicans and the Monarchists, with Lee hoping this would show he still supported the nobility, but was trying to accommodate the new liberal party. It did not work, and the Republican controlled House of Commons had a successful vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Johnston. Although Johnston was saved by the House of Lords, it was clear his political career was over, and King Robert picked a a member of the moderate Whig Party, Sir Pierre Beauregard as the new Prime Minister while Johnston went back into the Royal Army. Under the leadership of Lord Alexander Stevens, the House of Lords agreed to have the Royal Bank of the Atlantic Kingdom block funding for the subsidies for new factories and railroads that would be owned by the upstart commoners, and began considering measures to nationalize some of the factories and railroads. As this scene replayed itself throughout many Northern states where the new rich and Republicans were concentrated, the Republicans had enough, and demanded that King Robert lift his military occupation of the cities of the realm, give back the funding from the Royal Bank, dismantled the House of Lords, and to abandon the nobility, with the taking away of their titles. King Robert flatly refuse, and the Republican Party declared the Kingdom null and void, and that in its place, a true Republic would stand. A true civil war occurred, and though the factories were in the hands of traitors to the crown, the Royal Army remained loyal, and the well trained forces of King Robert crushed the rebellion. After the rebellion though, King Robert knew that the kingdom needed the support of these factory and railroad owners, so he allowed a new system to come into place that would make it possible for a man to work his way into the nobility by merit of his service to the nation, in industry or in military, as many excellent commanders in the Royal Army remained loyal, even though they were commoners. King Robert broke the power of the former Republican party with the inclusion of the new rich on his side, and though they did not become members of the Monarchist party, they all left the Republican Party, joining either the Whigs, or the newly formed Liberal Party. By his own decision, King Robert decided that his nation would need to end their institution of slavery if it would hope to remain a part of the civilized world. He declared in 1865 that all slaves held by the crown would be free by 1870, and that slaves throughout the Kingdom would be free by 1880, and with every slave freed, their former owners would be compensated by the Crown. And although this was per Royal Decree, Sir Beauregard was saddled with most of the blame, and it spelled the end of the Whigs for a time. Beauregard would not survive a vote of no confidence, though King Robert’s insistence kept Beauregard in office. The only thing saving the Crown from a second rebellion, this time from the southern nobles, was the heavy military occupation throughout the nation, and the inability to raise a new rebellion so quickly after one had just been fought; no, the nation needed peace for now. King Robert lamented that the rebellion and internal crisis of his reign limited the nations territorial expansion, but under his rule, industry and the railroads flourished due to the greater freedom given to their newly ennobled owners. The Royal Army and the Royal Navy were greatly improved, and as a whole, the Kingdom looked to be on its way to paving a way to greatness.

Prime Minister(s): James Longstreet (1876-1880) Monarchist
William McKinley (1880-1887) Progressive
Theodore Roosevelt (1887-1904) Progressive
Woodrow Wilson (1905-1913) Progressive

King George III was well trained in the art of government, not just from his father, but from many of the greatest minds the nation had to offer. Standing by his gun, King George III decided to appoint his long time friend from the Royal Military Academy, Sir James Longstreet, as his Prime Minister. Longstreet administered the military occupation of the nation for the years leading up to the slave’s emancipation, ensuring no rebellions would occur because of this action. The emancipation ended up being not as shattering as some had hoped or feared. True, they were no longer held in bondage, but no colored man could move freely throughout the Kingdom, and almost no employer was willing to give them work, except for jobs requiring either service or agriculture work. In the end, they went from slaves to serfs; hardly a great improvement. Longstreet delegated the running of the more economic aspects of the government to members of the Liberal Party, who were well versed in the realities of industry. Though a minor rebellion broke out with factory workers attempting to strike against the unfair conditions in the factories, it was quickly put down. Under King George III, the nation was directed into a more industry friendly way, and the nations productivity exploded. Because of the many jobs available in the new factories, many immigrants were attracted to the Kingdom, supported by King George, and eventually most of the nobility, for it provided a pool of cheap labor if the native born subjects were to become too unruly. Eventually, Longstreet retired, and upon his suggestion, King George III recruited a new Prime Minister from the rising, pro Industry, Progressive Party; the brilliant William McKinley. Even though he was a lower born noble, McKinley was brilliant, and completely restructured the national banking system, making it much more friendly to interests of industry and commerce by taking it away from the control of the aristocracy. McKinley was assassinated, likely by someone hired by a southern noble, but the King enjoyed the Progressive policies promoted by McKinley, and asked Duke Theodore Roosevelt to head a new Progressive government. Roosevelt accepted, and brought about work of breaking the nobility while strengthening the Crown. Unlike McKinley, Roosevelt allied himself with the Liberal Party, not the Monarchist Party. Roosevelt felt that national power was too concentrated in the hands of the nobility; he was a true monarchist, though he rejected the Monarchist Party that was dominated by the nobility. Under Roosevelt, the nation would finish what McKinley started. The trusts, dominated by the nobility, were repossessed and put under the authority of the Crown. And though the Crown paid and treated the workers better, the conditions for the poor were improved, the trusts continued to be efficient, and the great businessmen and inventors were still being rewarded with wealth and titles, there was darkness in Roosevelt’s term. As Prime Minister, Roosevelt heavily supported King George’s attempt to break the back of the saboteurs of the nation’s stability, and led the way in ending freedom of the press, which had been granted in 1867. He led a build-up of the Royal Army, and especially of the Royal Navy so it could rival the fleets of Europe, and sent them on tour of the world to show Royal Power. However, Roosevelt had become too powerful for King George III’s taste. The King still favored Roosevelt’s policies, but he sensed the mood of the country. He realized that the nobility was on the brink of rebellion for the constant slashing of their privileges as well as the state of military occupation many of the realms were in (at the insistence of Roosevelt), and the King did not enjoy how much power Roosevelt had accumulated. He wanted a Prime Minister that was efficient and Progressive, but was not a noble, and would not be able to garner the popular support Roosevelt had. Woodrow Wilson, the Royal Governor of New Jersey and a well respected man; a progressive, lower noble and an intellectual. King George III removed Roosevelt from office, executing him for treason, and made Wilson Prime Minister. Roosevelt’s execution provided a martyr for the lower classes that he had helped, and Hiram Johnson, a friend of the Roosevelt’s, tried to ferment a rebellion. It was quickly put down, ironically by the Army Roosevelt had invigorated, and Wilson was in firm control of the new Progressive Party. At Wilson’s suggestion in order to calm fears after the rebellion, in 1908, King George III declared that all white men would be allowed to vote, though in most of the realms, the way elections took place, it would not matter one way or the other if they had the vote. All things considered, King George III left behind a positive, though confusing legacy. The poor gained better conditions, but were still incredibly poor, the slaves were freed but were still oppressed, the nobles lost privileges but maintained their status at the top of society, the Crown became more powerful, but in ways became more oppressive, and voting was expanded, though other rights were taken away. The key though was that George III gave the nation great industry, and except for a minor ripple, stability, paving the way for the Kingdom to take its place as a great power in the world.


Prime Minister(s): George Creel (1913-1922) Monarchist

King Charles was rather unimpressive as King. A major European war hit while he was King, and Charles decided to stay neutral, due to the nation standing little to gain from the war. He did try to gain territory while Europe was distracted, but with little success. As he perpetuated his war, Creel ended the remnants of free speech in order to better control the nation. The Kingdom made profits by selling weapons to both sides of the war, and the war allowed for a major boom in the Kingdom’s industry as factories churned out weapons of war. Charles died before giving issue, and his successor was his second cousin, Thomas.


Prime Minister(s): Gabriel Semmes (1922-1932) Centrist

King Thomas was an unfortunate King. He started off well, by realizing the Monarchist Party was unpopular, and that appointing a member of that party would be unwise. Instead, Lord Semmes from the rising pro business Centrist Party became Prime Minister. Semmes was very capable, and ended Creel’s oppressive restrictions. Free Speech and Free Press were, to an extent, granted, the Republican Party was unbanned, and political prisoners were released. The nation began seeing a business boom, and the nation seemed to at long last banished the demons of misfortune, until several major crop failures forced caused a famine in the Kingdom. Many tried to flee the Kingdom, but King Thomas would not allow the nation to be destroyed, and the Royal Army kept the people from leaving. In desperation, the people rebelled, many under the banner of Communism, led by Earl Browder (Name, not title) and Franklin of the former noble house of Roosevelt. Thomas died from unknown causes, and Prime Minister Semmes committed suicide.


Prime Minister(s): George Creel (1932-1953) Nationalist

Nephew of King Edward, King Charles II came to the throne as the Kingdom faced its greatest threat since the First Revolution, and his rule would set into effect what people would call The Troubles. As he ascended to the throne, many areas of the nation were in outright rebellion. A communist revolution had swept the nation, finding soldiers In the workers of the cities, and the colored serfs. As the nation entered a civil war, the great cities of Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Detroit were controlled by the Communists, as well as many areas of the South. In the realm of Louisiana, Huey Long created a new party, the Jacobites, a successor to the Republican Party, and was able to push the Royal Army out of the realm, and declared Louisiana independent. Charles II brought back Lord Creel to help as Prime Minister, and with the aid of excellent commanders in the Royal Army, the rebellion was over by 1937, though Louisiana would annexed into Texas by 1940. Along the way, using the rebellion as a pretext, Charles II ordered Creel to create a new secret police agency, headed by Sir John Hoover, that would root out subversive elements through the OSI (Organization of Special Intelligence). Charles II used the OSI to round up political dissidents and put them into camps for hard labor and execution. He banned free speech, free press, freedom of assembly, and many others (though freedom of religion remained). All political parties, save for the new Nationalist Party that called for obedience to the King and the nation, were banned. Artists who would not conform to the nation’s new censorship laws were taken to prison camps as well. Charles II brought almost all power to him, making Royal Governors, Parliament, and even the Prime Minister simple pomp and circumstance, kept around for convenience, not because they wielded any real power. The OSI was the driving power of the nation, even reaching into the Royal Army. Leaders suspected of treason or disloyalty would be indentified by the OSI and purged from the Army before they could cause another rebellion. And although Charles was considered a horrible man, there were some benefits to his rule. By 1936, things had stabilized enough that there was little starvation, and most of the nation was stable. He instituted a new tax to pay for public schools, and created an impressive military, especially with his pride and joy, the Royal Air Force. By 1953, Creel had resigned from his post, and Charles passed away a few months later.

Welcome back! I remember such great stories from you last time.

Speaking of which, I was worried the thread was getting a little bland, but the stuff on this page is great.

Nuke, don't worry about writing a new national background. The main international changes you seem to have made are that Louisiana was lost in 1937 and annexed by Texas in 1940, which are fine, and I tweaked the stats to reflect that.

Woops didn't notice this NES had started.

I have to with draw from it since I only have time for one NES atm.

Prime Minister(s): Wade Hampton (1953-1978) Nationalist-Monarchist Coalition
David Lowing (1978-1987) Monarchist
George Taylor (1987-2015) Whig

The longest reigning monarch of the Atlantic Kingdom, King Charles III was the facilitator of continuing his predecessors reinvigoration of the monarchy. When he first assumed the throne, the Nationalists still held power, yet Charles III feared their strength. Using Lord Hoover’s OSI, he broke the power of the Nationalist Party’s top leadership, and was able to get his long time friend Duke Wade Hampton to become Prime Minister as a leader of a Nationalist-Monarchist coalition government. In 1956, the colored serfs rose up in revolution, led by a charismatic young preacher and a leader of a radical terrorist group. They would be helped by the Jacobites, in what would be known as the Black Panther Rebellion. It took nearly a decade to subdue, with the Black Panthers constantly engaging in suicide bombings and guerilla activities, but the Royal Army crushed the rebellion, and restored the noblemen their serfs. The government of King Charles III began the National Identity System, directed by the OSI, in order to keep tabs upon its population, and would serve to make most non nobles the equivalent of colored serfs, with their movement throughout the Kingdom limited unless they had official business. In 1976, the nation celebrated the 200th anniversary of independence, and with that, many college students in Philadelphia founded the Jeffersonian Restoration, determined to achieve the ideals of Thomas Jefferson. For six weeks, a standoff occurred, with students in Philadelphia controlling several city blocks in effect creating their own nation within a city. Helped by Jacobite rebels, the students of the Jeffersonian Restoration prepared for a fight, but initially, it did not come. The Royal Army eventually surrounded the area of the city of the students controlled, and then the elite Storm Troopers marched in, slaughtering everyone. The “Holocaust of Philadelphia” would set off what would be called Bleeding August, with college campuses rising up in resistance, non violent or otherwise. The Royal Army would be called in, and after a few repetitions of Philadelphia, the rebellion was broken, and life returned to a semblance of normality, though Duke Hampton resigned from his post a little later. David Lowing attempted to move more towards a moderate position with the Monarchist Party, that had taken a back seat to the Nationalists for over forty years. Unfortunately, Lowing’s hands were tied, as Charles III’s policy was to keep military occupation going in the cities were rebellion had occurred, which placed them out of authority of Lowing’s civilian government. Lowing did secure removal of troops in 1984, though when King Charles III would celebrate two centuries of his family’s rule over the Kingdom in 1987, New York rose in a Jacobite rebellion. The Royal Army quickly occupied the city, and through sheer luck, another slaughter was avoided. The unpopular Lowing was removed, and upon the suggestion of his advisors, King Charles III selected noble Whig minister Earl George Taylor as Prime Minister. Taylor initiated what would be called the Glorious Revolution. His government secured the restoration of full voting rights for all white males, and in 1993, secured limited voting rights for white women. A planned war with Texas was avoided, and Taylor secured peace on the continent for the time being. Industry and infrastructure was modernized, the Royal Bank was reorganized, and by 2000, the remnants of the Black Panthers were found, and the surrender of their leader, Jesse Jackson, allowed for the end of the military occupation of New York. The OSI would continue rooting out subversive elements that could not be brought into the fold, a key victory coming when they found the last major arsenal of weaponry outside the Crown’s control, while Taylor’s government brought in groups that were on the edge. A blemish on Taylor’s otherwise excellent record is that he actually expanded the prison camp system, a necessary evil in the eyes of Taylor. With Charles III’s reign, the Kingdom became a modern world power, free from the instability facing other parts of the world.


Prime Minister(s): George Clinton (2015-2035) Whig
Michael Taylor (2035-Present) Whig

For King George IV, life was relatively easy in comparison to his predecessors. He needed only two Prime Ministers, Clinton and Taylor (the son of Earl George Taylor), who were both extremely skilled. Under George IV, political liberalism extended; in 2030, women were granted the full right to vote, and in 2035, nobles were no longer entitled to extra votes due to the serfs they controlled. A minor serf insurrection in 2040, led by communism, prevented a full uprising. In all, this has been a stabilizing period for the Kingdom, with the Royal Army, Navy, and Air Force continuing its expansion, and the Crown gaining more strength. In 2042, King George IV declared that his daughter, Princess Victoria, would succeed him, placing the first Queen Regent set to take the throne. As an older man, he has had issues with sickness, leaving more governing to his daughter. It is well known that King George IV plans to abdicate next year if he does not die before then.

(1) Kélen
- Leader -
Only one may exist. Prior to his promotion to Kélen, he is one of several Fila. Elected through secret internal vote after the death or resignation of a previous Kélen, this man has absolute authority over all worker parties, and Communal lands.

(2) Fila
- High Leaders -
There are always 5 Fila. 1 from the Séegin, 1 from the Wólonwula, 1 from the Wɔɔrɔ, 1 from the Náani and 1 from the Kɔnɔntɔn, representing all aspects of African society. All Fila were Sàba prior to their election, and as such truly represent the people.

(3) Sàba
- Communal Leaders-
Each Commune elects a single leader to represent them in matters of state. This person is known as a Sàba. There are currently 66 Sàba in the government, each one representing a Commune. The Sàba are elected from the various people's Soviets in each Commune, with each Commune being dedicated to one specific class of people. So there are 22 Sàba representing 22 Wɔɔrɔ Communes, 22 Sàba representing 22 Wólonwula Communes, and 22 Sàba representing 22 Séegin Communes. Being born and raised in one of these districts truly makes the Sàba men (or women) of the Worker.

(4) Náani
-Military Member of Rank-
Members of the esteemed military ranks. From General to Seargent. If you find yourself promoted to any major rank in the military, you can consider yourself a member of the Náani. Off base, and out of uniform, all are treated as equals, it's only when in a military atmosphere, or when wearing any sort of uniform that traditional rank takes presidence. The various Soviets of Náani elect a High General (or, on rarer occassions, he is appointed by the Kélen). This High General in turn, become Fila for the military.

(5) Dúuru
-Military Member-
Anyone currently enrolled in the USACS military. They are of equal rank to the Wɔɔrɔ, the Séegin and the Wólonwula . They maintain the Union's borders, and enforce the will of the Kélen.

(6) Wɔɔrɔ
-Political,Economic, Cultural and Social Workers-
They manage the empire, more or less. Seeing as less people can do more then in the other groups, there are fewer of the Wɔɔrɔ then the Wólonwula or the Séegin. They however still retain as much representation in the government as the other groups. After all, they do handle all of the 'pencil pushing'. They elect 22 Sàba as of now.

(7) Wólonwula
-Agricultural Workers-
Farmers and the like. They make up a very broad portion of the population. Assigned to Communal farms, these Wólonwula work to reach Sàba set quotas each year. Their food is then distributed to other, non-farming Communes. They elect 22 Sàba as of now.

(8) Séegin
-Industrial Workers-
Finally, all the various industrial workers. Wether you make tanks or cups, if you don't tend a field, or handle the economic and diplomatic aspects of the empire, you'll find yourself here.

(9) Kɔnɔntɔn
-Other-
For anyone not finding themselves in another class directly, find themselves here. The Kélen's aids for example. Members of this class are generally given the title directly by the Fila or the Kélen himself, for a variety of reasons.

Maybe we should make a Wiki for this Nes...

No. Just no.

I don't see why not?

The same reason we shouldn't have a social group for every little treaty.
