While having direct control over few systems, it nearly entirely controls the economies over major Human worlds such as [[Thalsiedeln]], [[Petra]], [[Aegyn]], and [[Albedo]]. Were its economic influence measured as energy consumption, it qualify as a Kardashev III civilization.

-The Confederacy of Borealis was at one point capable of military influence at the level of [[Cosmoria]], making it a military [[Category:Superpowers|superpower]] despite its status as a non-state entity. While today it has lost this prestigious status, its large military apparatus remains a formidable foe on the galactic stage. The Confederacy controls many restored artifacts from older civilizations such as the [[Triumvirate Civilization]]. The Confederacy has invested little into [[Thaumaturgy|Thaumic]] technology, focusing more on traditional technologies.
-As an alliance of democratic institutions existing in and around Martial Space, the Confederacy of Borealis has great sway over the politics of the region.  There is little in the way of actual sovereignty in the area the Confederacy influences and the organization only deploys soldiers to areas with large numbers of members. Even in these areas, the actual sovereignty lies with the central government of Martial Space, headed by [[Mars]]. The Confederacy of Borealis can be considered a lower house of parliament within the [[Greater Martial Consilium]], a vast alliance of trillions of organizations of which the Confederacy represents over twenty percent.
-== Political Structure==
-While originally the government of the Confederacy was small, only having a president and a representative from each component organization, it has since grown into a vast somewhat decentralized bureaucracy. Each organization has direct representation in what are called "interests," smaller councils that have a great deal of say in governance. Interests are grouped into departments based on industry. There are currently 57 departments across every major industry. The departments appoint representatives to the Congress while the president is appointed by popular vote.
-Congress is the ruling body of the Confederacy and has the power to pass what are known as "edicts." These resolutions would then be passed onto the various departments, giving them a large amount of power in applying the edicts themselves. Resolutions pass by a simple majority of votes. They were often drafted by member groups and submitted to the Congress for approval, rarely did it create its own edicts. At any time a group can be ejected from the Confederacy for failing to obey the edicts, leaving them alone in a hostile nation that is largely hostile to democratic organizations.
-==Economy==
-The Economy of the Confederacy was anywhere from the tenth largest to the largest in the known universe, only regularly surpassed by that of the [[Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya]] towards the end of its existence. In the Local Universe, it accounted for almost 11% of all wealth at its peak. At the staggeringly large 511 septillion C-Units (more below), the combined economy of the Confederacy was sixty percent larger than the next five economies combined. Since the Confederacy had so much economic influence, the rulers of Martial Space had only one avenue to stop its goals, force.
-===Currency===
-The main official currency of the Confederacy was called the C-Unit. In order to join, an organization has to adopt the C-Unit as their standard currency while forfeiting their right to issue their own currencies. The C-Unit was the most widely accepted currency within Martial Space. Historically, C-Units have been backed by a microgram of antimatter, but they are now tied to a certain quantity of energy in watts (~25 kilowatts).
-=== External Regulation ===
-The Central government of Martial Space allowed the Confederacy to exist on account of the fact that it enforced order. With vast armies of enforcers and, later, a proper military apparatus, the Confederacy made sure to maintain order in its territory. Additionally, the Confederacy often collaborated with the central government. This and their massive economic influence made any attempt to destroy the Confederacy a foolhardy act.
-The Confederacy would soon become an international organization, operating within Sagittarium, the Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya, and even in areas in [[Herschel Space]]. Each of these governments would not allow the Confederacy to simply deploy soldiers into their territories, so they had to follow local regulations. The Confederacy relied on state policing in order to maintain ownership over property outside of Martial Space.
-==History==
-=== Background ===
-WIP
-===Origin===
-The Confederacy of Borealis would form gradually as various worker cooperatives across [[Thalsiedeln]] banded together to protect their property. With time, this new organization would be called the Confederacy of Thalsiedeln, a planet-spanning organization that maintained order. By 17,900 CE, they filled in the vacuum left by the inadequate local government. While the local governors complained, higher officials simply taxed the Confederacy and allowed it to operate as it pleased.
-From Thalsiedeln it would ravenously absorb all private ventures around itself; the workers of these ventures simply forming a union and joining the Confederacy to force their bosses out of the workplace. They would set up a "Confederate Bank" in 18,088 CE, giving the organization a way to bail out its subsidiaries as well as giving it a mechanism by which it could make money through loans. In the lawless corner of Martial Space the Confederacy sat in, it would need to enforce its loans using its own guards. In 18,091 CE, the Confederacy created its first para-military group; it was composed of volunteers from across Thalsiedeln and the area around it.
-With rapid expansion came growing pains. Legacy organizations began to demand an increased share of confederacy-owned assets. Under pressure, the president simply "annexed" these rebelling organizations. While this did spark outrage across the Confederacy, even prompting some organizations to leave, it became essentially impossible to do business on Confederacy-dominated worlds without being a member. On certain worlds, trade could only take place amongst Confederate-allied organizations. Many collapsed or were disbanded as they folded under pressure by leadership. The Confederacy maintained its democratic processes despite this monopoly it had over the lives of those on worlds it influenced.
-=== The Great Empyreal Crusade ===
-By 20,012 CE, the beginning of the [[Great Empyreal Crusade]], the Confederacy had membership in the quadrillions and was one of the most influential organizations within Martial Space. The people preferred its somewhat exploitative practices to the explicitly exploitative practices of other powers in Martial Space. This would only become more true as [[Empyros]] began its invasion across Martial Space.
