Earthen Confederation

The Earthen Confederation (The Confederation or Earth) is a confederate republic in 2247 CE consisting of 20 confederated territories with a capital city in the sovereign territory of Atlantis. The nation is primarily based off of the planet Earth, with colonies on the modified bodies of Mars, Venus, Jovia, Saturnia, Neptunia, Urania, Shijie, Al-Hashaab, Equus, Neu Bayern, Barley, and Blancas. The Confederation is a member of the Council of the Spire and the Union of Humanity.

The Earthen Confederation is a confederation of territories that exist with a higher amount of sovereignty than the national government. It is a republic in which is established by the constitution that the territories have greater powers than the nation as a whole, and that self governance is a guiding factor in its political structure. Each territory, of which there are 21, holds the right to rule over itself. The constitution establishes the military and a common code of moral law which all constituent territories must respect. Otherwise, the territories inside the confederation have power like that of a sovereign state bound to an international military alliance. The Confederation is headed by a President, and all territories elect a representative to serve in the Greater Legislature. The representatives may be the same as the territorial heads of government, but it does not have to be.

The Confederation is one of the fourteen members of the Council of the Spire, in which it is the primary representative of the human species. While the People's Union of Greater China and the Islamic Republic of Al-Faw are also members of the council, their say is unofficially seen as lesser by other racial members of the council.
