StarCitizen:State (UEE Political Entity)
More actions
A State is the primary political subdivision of the UEE. States are analogous to the nation-states of the 21st Century,<ref name=":0" /> which persisted as the subdivisions of the StarCitizen:United Nations of Earth until its reorganisation into the StarCitizen:United Planets of Earth. It was at this point that 'nations' were replaced.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> While equal to nations in size, importance and diversity, States within the UEE are non-sovereign political organizations.<ref name=":1" />
States on Represented Worlds
Worlds have have achieved StarCitizen:UEE Representation are divided up into at least two States, though there can be dozens of States per planet. Each State is presided over by a StarCitizen:Governor who collective form the StarCitizen:Governor's Council for the planet. Each state also has a parliament of exactly 100 StarCitizen:Representatives, irrespective of the population of the planet: for example, Representatives on StarCitizen:Terra often have a million constituents each, while small states on less populated planets like StarCitizen:Cestulus might only have 1000 constituents per representative.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite RSI</ref> StarCitizen:Senators represent all of the States of the planet rather than being linked to individual States.
States on Unrepresented Worlds
States also exist on unrepresented worlds, usually centred around a large settlement, though do not have a rigid proscribed structure and can take a variety of local forms.<ref name=":1">Template:Cite RSI</ref> Planets seeking Representation are obliged to adopt the same structure as Represented worlds in advance of application in order to become eligible: typically, the Governor's Council of a represented world will petition the Senate and choose the name for the newly recognised planet. Prior to this, the leader of a planet might also be called a Governor,<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> or other titles such as President.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Powers
While all States must impose the StarCitizen:Common Law, the governing bodies have significant powers to define other laws, either planet-wide through the StarCitizen:Governor's Council or state-wide through acts of the StarCitizen:Governor or StarCitizen:Representatives.
