Venus

Venus, also known as Sol II, is the second planet in the Sol System and probably best known for being the first candidate for early terraforming efforts. However, first attempts failed to live up to expectations and the planet reverted back to its original state. It wasn’t until after the colonization of New Earth in 2108, that a second attempt was made. Though this too failed, but with more of an effect in the right direction. In 2347, another attempt was made to terraforming Sol’s second planetary body. Amazingly, this time the terraforming stuck and colonization of the newly formed planet could begin at last. Presently, there are now twenty-seven cities with a combined population of 12,389,900 people making Venus the fifth most populated world in Sol. Venus also has the highest population of transgender individuals of any colony including Earth, with about 40% being male to female, and 12% being female to male. The high number of trans women also gives Venus the highest female population of any colony at around 77%.

Government and politics

Venus is a planetary colony under the jurisdiction of the United Nations Federation and operates under a democratic form of government. The power and authority of the government are delegated by the UNF General Assembly, with the head of state being the president of the United Nations Federation. As an incorporated planetary colony, Venus receives the full protection and benefits guaranteed by the UNF Constitution.
The government of Venus is structured into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive branch is led by the governor, currently Maria Rigal, who is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day administration of Venus. The legislative branch consists of the bicameral Legislative Assembly, comprising the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate, headed by President Victor Sanchez, and the House, led by Speaker Carlotta Lo Vallo, are responsible for creating and passing laws. The judicial branch is headed by Chief Justice Amauri Arnone and ensures the fair interpretation and application of the law.
Elections on Venus are conducted regularly and are governed by the Colonial Election Commission and the Planetary Elections Commission of Venus. The residents of Venus have the privilege to participate in both local and UNF presidential elections, including the primaries. The voting process allows the citizens to choose their governor, legislators, and their delegate to the UNF General Assembly.
Venus is divided into 39 municipalities, further divided into wards or barrios, and then into sectors. Each municipality has a mayor and a municipal legislature elected for a four-year term. This system ensures that the local concerns and needs of the citizens are adequately represented and addressed.

Military

Venus, though a UNF colony, has its own planetary defense force. The current governor of Venus, Maria Rigal, who is the commander-in-chief, has delegated her authority to the Venus Adjutant General - Major General Isaak Weinwurm. Venus' defense force is divided into two separate divisions: the Venusian Colonial Guard and the Venusian Planetary Guard. The Venusian Colonial Guard is responsible for the internal security of Venus including maintaining law and order and working in conjunction with local law enforcement agencies, while the Venusian Planetary Guard is responsible for planetary defense. These forces operate under the authority of the governor of Venus, who is also the commander-in-chief, and the commanders of the United Space Command.
