Alkan Intendancy

Template:!Nation Template 3.0!The Alkan Intendancy (usually just called the Intendancy) (Demonym Intendant or less commonly Alkan) is a nation of thirteen thousand galaxies 400 Million megalightyears from the Milky Way. It resides in the Alkan Supercluster. The Intendancy is made up of thousands of species, all of which are second class citizens to the Ror Units (the dominant race of the civilization).

The Intendancy is no stranger to forcibly disarming rebellions and dismantling entire civilization if they are seen as a threat. This has caused a large amount of ethnic tension in the Intendancy. Currently, The Ror are trying to appease the other species instead of exterminating those that rebel.

It was discovered by the CoB in 101,864. At the same time as The Supreme and DELYATU. It was first contacted shortly thereafter in 101,865.

The Intendancy joined the The Intergalactic Council during The War for All in 185,969 CE, making it the newest super-power to join. It has a large voting power due to it's large population. Unfortunately, the recent declaration of neutrality regarding The Exhumation, has damaged ties with almost all known nations. Already, half of the Parliament and even Unit 1, demand to leave the Council.

Right now, there are many medium-sized wormholes leading to the Commonwealth, allowing for limited communication and trade. One dozen wormholes lead to DELYATU, while none lead to the CoB or The Supreme.

Unlike most superpowers, the Intendancy manages to have a strong central government, instead of being a loose confederation. It also manages to have one species be far more common than any other, making it very unique on the intergalactic stage.

Government

The Intendancy is a partially democratic federation, where every conquered race gets a seat in Parliament.

Unit I

Unit I is the most powerful of the Ror. It is a Matrioshka Brain built around an unknown star. The star is unknown to protect Unit 1. Hundreds of decoys exist to prevent the actual location of Unit 1 being discovered.

This mind was built in the same year as the creation of the Alkan Intendancy. The Ror believed in the concept of Technocracy (rule by the most qualified) and decided to have their nation be ruled by the most qualified individual possible. Hence, a Matrioshka brain.

The Parliament

The Parliament has 5.5 Million members as of 200000. Each conquered civilization gets representation proportional to its population and territory size.

The parliament can pass bills to Unit I with half of the vote, and can sign bills into law, while completely ignoring Unit 1, with eighty-five percent of the vote. Right now, it is divided into four major political parties (with about ten minor ones). The Imperial Party, The Rorran Party, The Worker's Party, and the Theocratic Party (these names, of course, are translations.)

The Imperial Party

This party believes that the Intendancy is the most qualified nation to rule the universe, and therefore should expand at all costs. They also believe that the Intendancy should be forceful in dealing with armed revolutions.

The Party is the result of the intense propaganda that the Intendancy puts into the education system. This party, however, took the patriotic schooling and turned it into radical nationalism. Fortunately, the party does not promote racism.

This party is the largest in Parliament at 38%.

The Rorran Party

The Rorran Party is made up of most of the Ror Units in the Parliament. They believe in the protection of the Rorran culture, as well as maintaining the dominance of the Ror Units in the Intendancy. Apart from that, this party is fairly centrist.

Not every Ror Unit is a part of this party, most are actually split up into the ten minor parties previously mentioned. This makes the party the second largest at 21%.

The Worker's Party

This party is very similar to the Communist party that exists within the CoB. They believe in a redistribution of power and wealth so that the proletariat control the Intendancy. They believe in the dismantling of the Ror and instead what to fragment the Intendancy into thousands of pieces, with each species having ten or so systems. They are fairly liberal as well; they want to allow refugees into the Intendancy, they scorn tradition, and place a high value on maintaining the cultures of the less numerous species in the Intendancy.

They seek the removal of Unit 1 as the head of government, and would rather have an elected official be the head of government. They make up 11% of the Parliament.

The Theocratic Party

The Theocratic party is made up of members of the Church of the High Pantheon. This party is a far-right extremist party that upholds a somewhat nationalist belief based in Fuukanism. They want to ban things such as Narcotics, Virtual Reality, Self Aware Machines, and they want to establish the Church as the state religion. They make up 10% of the Parliament.

Minor Parties

Below is a list of minor parties and what they believe in.

• The Libertarian Party
  • Typical small government Libertarians 4%
• The Cyberocratc Party
  • They want Unit 1 or some other AI to have total control of the Intendancy. 2%
• The Internationalist Party
  • This party believes that the Intergalactic Council should have more power. 2%
• The Borealis Party
  • They want to have better relations with the Borealis Nations. 1%

Provincial Governments

The Alkan Intendeancy is composed of 55043 species. Each species gets its own division. Most divisions are broken up into Provinces. Provinces are able to pass local laws, provide local law enforcement, and some even have their own standing militias. Although provinces are usually in divisions, there are several provinces, like The Vios and The Jewel Galaxy which are independant of any division.

Each Province has a governor and its own Parliament. The largest provinces have Parliaments that can even rival the power of the main Parliament of the Intendancy. The most powerful province is The Werryn Province, with a population of 75 Septillion.

Territory

The Intendancy controls 5041 galaxies. Below is a list of the notable territories and provinces it controls.

Werryn Union

The Empyrean

Seekya

The Vios

The Intendancy is made up of 15043 Divisions. Each Division represents a unique species. Some of these divisions are as large as 100 Galaxies, others are as small as a star cluster. Either way, they get proportional representation in Parliament, with the minimum number being 1 per division.

Demographics

The Alkan Intendancy is an extremely diverse nation, with over fifty thousand species under its belt. The largest or most notable races are listed here, with many having populations far too small to be significant.

Normally, a nation this size could not have such a massive population (at almost 50% of the CoB) , however, unlike most nations, the Intendancy did not place any restrictions on population growth; even incentivizing it in many cases. Each conquered species was given nicer treatment the more they reproduced. Many provinces reward those that reproduce more with tax exemptions and the like. Provinces get more representation for a larger population, so most provinces are incentivized to incentivize the people.

Ror Units

The Ror Units are the most common race in the Intendancy, making up over 39% of the entire population. In every galaxy the Intendancy controls, there is at least one Rorran settlement. On average, the Ror are far wealthier and more prosperous than the average species in the Intendancy. Thye are typically described as the "dominant race" and sometimes even the "Master Race" by Rorran Party propaganda.

Werryn

The Werryn make up 22% of the population. They exist in the former galaxies of the Werryn Union, as well as the surrounding galaxies of that area. In ten galaxies, the popualtion is almost 100% Werryn, and they are a significant presence in most galaxies of the Intendancy.

The Ravis

The Ravis is one of the most common races in the Intendancy. Making about 15% of the population. They are mostly concentrated in The Empyrean province.

Seekites and Norans

The Seekers and The Elite Nora invaded the Borealis Cluster in 184367 CE during The War for All, causing a massive amount of damage to every nation in it. The Intendancy was no exception. The Seekers conquered thousands of galaxies before being pushed back into their own cluster.

The Alliance of Five ended up depositing all of their prisoners of war in the Jewel Galaxy, and it became a province in the Intendancy (more Here).

The Vios

The Vios are an exception to most of the rules in the Intendancy. The seven Artificial Intelligences were fighting over the same ten galaxies. The Intendancy annexed all of them and established each of them as Provinces. Bizarrely, there were no biological life forms present in any of the Vios. This means that each one is its own representative in Parliament.

History

Origin

The Ror Units originated on the planet D'Naevium in 150,000 BCE. The planet is located in the Alko Galaxy. They were all originally identical, but as time passed five distinct races formed, each with a slightly different color and size. The races were virtually identical and were named after their colors. Grey, White, Black, Blue, and Feldgrau where the names of the races (this is a translation, the colors closest to the actual name in the Ror language were filled in.)

Over time, the technology of the Ror advanced. They first made it into space in 5021, and they first landed on another planet in 5099. In 5541, they invented the warp drive, and shortly later discovered wormholes.

Founding

The five races of Ror were still independent nations all the way up until 9901, when they united into the Alkan Intendancy. They joined together in response to detecting faint radio waves from other civilizations in nearby galaxies.

The Alliance only controlled half of the galaxy, with the other half controlled by two other civilizations, all of which were too small to be a threat. The Ror forced the other two into submission very shortly after. In 15201, The Intendancy controlled the entire galaxy and colonization was well underway into nearby galaxies. These galaxies had their fair share of life as well. That meant that The Intendancy would absorb more and more species.

Extra-Galactic Conquest

Shortly after controlling the entire galaxy, The Ror spread to others. They colonized the nearby Alka II galaxy and then the Drio Galaxy. During their conquests, the Intendancy never came across another strong nation until 13000.

The Alko-Werryn War

The intendancy came across a very powerful civilization called the Werryn Union. The Union had 5 galaxies under its control, which made it comparable in size to the Intendancy, which had ten at the time.

The war began in 13077, when the Intendancy attacked Werryn. The smaller nation was caught off guard by the sudden attack but eventually managed to push back. The War lasted almost a millennium before the Intendancy won and absorbed the Werryn.

The Golden Age

From 14000-100000 the Intendancy encountered no other powerful civilizations and expanded hundreds of times their previous size. By 100000, the Intendancy controlled 2100 galaxies and internal strife was at a minimum. This peace and prosperity slowly came to an end as the conquered species began rebelling.

The Age of Rebellion

For over 5000 years after the golden age, thousand of races rebelled, causing all expansion to halt. The Ror had to put down rebellion after rebellion, killing and imprisoning quadrillions of individuals. This went on until the Parliament was founded in 149991. This calmed most of the rebels, and most of the prisoners were released.

The War for All

Like most known civilizations, the Intendancy participated in The War for All. They sustained heavy damage, but they did not fall. And in the end, they gained many galaxies.

Battles

The Intendancy participated in many battles during The War for All. Most notably, they participated in the eleven different battles of Alko. Each of these battles was an invasion by The Seekers and The Elite Nora. The Intendancy was the target of a minor general from The Elite Nora named Ruo Noi Fruoi. He wanted to make a name for himself so with the limited resources he had, he tried to invade.

All of the battles were failures because the main invasion force demanded almost ninety percent of resources, making the smaller fronts compete for the remaining budget. This particular front got more money than some of the other fronts, however, it still wasn't enough to counter the large Intendant fleets.

The Intendancy just wasn't large enough to be worth whole number percentages of the Alliance's budget. The Alliance had to deal with much larger enemies only a few mega-light years away, making any effort to attack the Intendancy meaningless.

The Treaty of Jewel

For the Intendancy, the war ended a century early, when a treaty was signed to dump all of the deserters into the Jewel Galaxy. The War for All, lasted many millennia, and in that time, billions ended up deserting from the Alliance (likewise with all sides, really). The Alliance didn't want to execute them all, and the Intendancy was looking for a way to replace some of the Species it lost. Fighting had died down in the latter years of the war, and the Alliance was desperate for a way to humanely dispose of the deserters and POW's they've accumulated (because executing deserters would cause more instability in the Alliance).

The two sides signed the Treaty of Jewel in 186394. The Alliance would use the Jewel Galaxy as a place to deport all of the deserters and prisoners of war they had, and in return, they would leave the Intendancy alone. Many intelligent species were entirely destroyed except for the prisoners of war in the Jewel Galaxy, so they just remained there as they had nothing to go back to.

Losses

Even though the Intendancy managed to defend the Alko Galaxy, the rest of the empire was still badly hit. In all, over two hundred species were completely wiped out, 500 critically endangered, and 100 had their populations halved. This added up to over 500 Quadrillion civilian casualties.

The military deaths were equally staggering. 750 Quadrillion soldiers were killed in the war. This number is dwarfed by the invaders' losses. They lost over a quintillion troops to the Intendancy, with millions captured.

Post War Reconstruction

The Intendancy was allowed to keep every galaxy they liberated, greatly expanding the size. They incorporated over one thousand new species into the Intedancy. While this could be considered a good thing, this actually put a huge strain onto the economy of the Intendancy. A huge economic depression occurred, the economy was worse than it was even during the Age of Rebellion.

Reconstruction

The Intendancy took almost a millennia to rebuild everything lost. The population wouldn't recover until 188461, almost two millennia after the war ended.
