The Terran Republic
The Terran Empire.
The Terran Republic was a polity established in the 26th century and is the successor state to the Origins
Leander Ashpool MP, announced the formation of a Terran Republic shortly after the surrender of the Empire in 2498. Discussions were ongoing with the leadership of Technopolis, Nova Terra, Fort Pitcairn and Van Allan's World. The leadership on Earth were also involved in talks and were initially supportive but this never turned into anything more than supportive noises, with no firm commitment to sign up to the Republic. The Republic was officially founded on 30 August 2500 on Technopolis at the Kulden Hall. An agreement was later made in October 2500 that Technopolis, now referred to as New Berlin, would be the capital. The capital of the Republic moved to Earth after it joined the Republic in 2516.Member States

The General Assembly
The General Assembly will be elected directly from each member world with seats proportionate to population The General Assembly will elect the President, pass new legislation, regulate interstellar trade, and approve taxes and budget for the Republic. The General Assembly may also impeach a President for High Crimes. The General Assembly elects its members on the basis of proportional representation, with each party presenting a "list" of numbered candidates in order of preference. Parties seeking office for the General Assembly must present signatures from every single world in the Republic, with no less than 50,000 total signatures, to be on the ballot for the General Assembly. Parties must achieve at least 5% of the vote to receive any seats in the General Assembly. Numbers in the General Assembly are updated every ten years based on the census and, as of 2540, were set at 1200 representativesThe Senate
The Senate will have two seats per world, with one directly selected by a method decided by the system and the other directly elected by the populace The Senate will arbitrate disputes between member systems, review and approve treaties with foreign powers, declare war, and rule on interpretations of law. The Senate will also be able to veto laws passed by the General Assembly, but not who they select as President nor budgets or taxes. The Senate will judge any impeachment charges against a President. Senators are elected on a first past the post system to a ten year term. In order to get onto the ballot, the party and candidate would need to present at least 5,000 signatures for ballot access. Parties that hold senate seats do not need to seek ballot access see The Republic SenatePolitical Parties

Judiciary
The Republic was set up with a limited judiciary to try crimes against the Republic or crimes which happen in Republic controlled territory not under the authority of a member system. The Senate will serve as the final appeal and only act on disputes involving interpretation of Republic law. The Republic judicial system will have authority over interstellar space, Republic facilities and ships, and crimes which occur across multiple systems. An organization like CIS was to be created to investigate such crimesMilitary
