Soli Technocracy and Laws
The Soli people run their government and law enforcement structures as a technocracy. Intellect is the most highly valued commodity in Soli society, thus the most intelligent and elite of the Soli worlds are nominated to serve on the Soli Advisory Council.
The Chancellor is the chair of the Council. The Chancellor is elected by the rest of the council. She can be from any scientific background, but without a doubt must be the smartest person in the room, as well as have the leadership skills to facilitate the group and bring the group to consensus. The Solis value rigorous debate that leads to consensus, believing that the strongest ideas will surface and can be agreed upon.
The rest of the Council members are Deans of Agriculture, Environment, Law, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Technology, Medicine, and Philosophy. They are nominated from respective universities and research institutions. They rise to the top of the nomination process through a demonstrated dedication to their field as evidenced by published research, scientific breakthroughs and contributions to improving the Soli worlds. They are then tested as to their ability to make logical arguments, to listen to and process other arguments, and to know when to stand by their argument and when to concede to a more rational argument.
The Council creates and maintains Soli laws. The laws mostly center around ethical codes and everyday behavior. The Solis believe every Soli has the right to a fruitful and healthy life with all basic needs provided. In general, Solis have very little crime, as one of their societal values is equality. Housing, food, healthcare, and educational opportunities are all equal. Instead of using violence or force, the Soli law officers focus on intervention and prevention, making sure any Soli has access to whatever assistance they need if they are struggling.
