On [[Calyion]], political turmoil was growing with no end in sight. The planet was in the middle of a significant economic recession. Most necessities were in supply and producible. However, a fatal flaw in international law allowed a country a monopoly on a resource if it proved that commodity was necessary for its trade. This loophole became abused, putting every nation in a chokehold over natural resources. An item not produced natively became insanely expensive due to tariffs and shipping expenses. The current international council was held back by gridlock, but one decision was unanimous: Call in experts. These experts became the first Ghenon. |

</p>When called in, each of the future Ghenonets became acquainted and saw it best that they become the new rulers of a single nation planet. This would prevent nations from monopolizing, but to eliminate political corruption, the Ghenon implemented a technocratic system of government. They would build the Zopoque on the idea that politics is an invalid area of expertise, and as such politicians do not have measurable skills. Only fields practical to the nation's management and easily measurable such as judicial practice, law enforcement, and research, would be made departments. |

Template:!Nation InfoboxThe Zopoque is a Lacertian nation in Lowiras. It was formed in 54884 CE to explore and colonize other worlds. It was preceded by smaller Lacertian nations which had not explored far into space. It is a Technocracy, where candidates are selected based on knowledge and experience in their department, and campaigning is handled by separate officials. Of the nations in Lowiras, the Zopoque has the highest tensions with Celease due to their divided views on the use of Neuromancy in government.
Government
Overview
The Zopoque is Technocratic. Candidates are chosen by the current leaders, promoted by dedicated campaigners, and voted for by citizens. These candidates are elected to a council and manage the department for which they were chosen. From every city to planet to the Ghenon itself, the Zopoquan government works under common rules. The leaders of the nation are known as Ghenonets.
Election
Ghenon elections are held every 50 years. The current members of the Ghenon spend 5 years before the election looking for successors. Often, one of the successors is an apprentice of the Ghenonet. However, Ghenonets are required to look for candidates with whom they have no personal relationship, and since candidates can not fund their own campaigns and their campaigners are randomly assigned, the benefit of a candidate's relationship with a Ghenonet is supposedly reduced.
Departments
There are many departments in the Ghenon, and local governments often borrow from this list.
Department of Legislation
The Department of Legislation handles the making of federal law. It has to work with the Department of Justice and Department of Provinces to make laws that are agreeable to the nation.
Department of Justice
The Department of Justice is the department of the Zopoque governing judicial affairs. It holds the highest federal court.
Department of Exploration
The Department of Exploration is responsible for the scouting and surveying of planets. They do not colonize or settle the planets themselves.
Department of Provinces
The Department of Provinces manages and interacts with the local governments of the Zopoque. It is responsible for establishing colonies and provinces and negotiating taxes, laws, and assigned industries.
Department of Energy Production
The Department of Energy Production governs the generation of energy and the development of more efficient energy generation. Nuclear energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy are all common choices for power plants on planets. On starships, nuclear energy is far more common than any other.
Technologies
The Zopoque led to the improvement and development of several technologies
Gyrocompass
The Gyrocompass was an early Lacertian invention which fell out of use after the development of satellite-based navigation. However, as alien worlds became targets of exploration, the Gyrocompass became useful in early colonization. This new version was much smaller and could be integrated into cybernetics.
Fission Reclamation System
The Fission Reclamation System was a system which converted nuclear waste into more nuclear fuel. It created more efficient—though less powerful—nuclear fuel. This fuel could be reused in an automated system which could run for much longer without new fuel.
Advanced Cybernetics
The Zopoque has had an elevated interest in cybernetics since its inception. Cybernetic enhancements are extremely common.
History
Summary
The Zopoque was formed in 95884 CE to unite the Lacertians in their efforts to reach new worlds and overcome a crisis. This goal led the Zopoque to make contact with Celeas, and the two nations are at odds with each other, due to having opposing views on individual rights and the use of psionics by the government.
