The '''Republic''' is a democratic player faction, created in reaction to the dominance of totalitarian governments in the universe.

== History ==
On July 4, 2019, a small group of robots came together with the common goal of creating a democratic nation, where the voice of all citizens would be heard and considered by the government.

The Republic's first Constitution was published on July 4, 2019, however, the members of the Republic soon saw the need for improvement in the Constitution to provide more checks and balances, in order to protect the nation from a tyrannical group taking power and abusing it.

Elections for the Provisionary Council for The Republic were held on July 15, 2019, lasting until July 17, 2019. The Provisionary Council was tasked with creating a new constitution for The Republic. The members of the Provisionary Council wrote and rewrote the document that would eventually become the Republic's Constitution. On July 19, 2019, the new Constitution was put up to a simple majority vote, passing unanimously (26 - 0).

The Constitution of the Republic can be found at the following link: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EjCWpWP5rQPVzwuDt9m2sGdHUhZcPd7J/view The Constitution of the Republic]

On July 21, 2019, the Provisionary Council passed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Enabling Act, creating the first executive department ministry in the nation's history (excepting the Ministry of Justice, which was established in the Constitution).

On July 30, 2019, the Republic signed non-aggression pacts with The Slavic Federation, The Collective, and the Vultar Unity.

On August 2, 2019, the Steelwing Ravens joined the Republic as a sub-faction.

On August 10, 2019, the Republic gained its hundredth member, prompting the creation of the first Electoral Commission to put the Constitution into effect.

On August 11, 2019, the Provisionary Council was dissolved.

Elections for the First Republic House of Commons and the First Republic House of State were held, with the results being announced on August 23, 2019. During the first months of the Republic, the administration was tasked with setting precedents, establishing standing orders for both houses of the Republic Senate, and establishing the first important laws of the Republic, including establishing the concept of criminal behavior legally.

The second Republic House of Commons and House of State were elected in mid-December 2019, with the overall legislative agenda (establishing procedure and other essential laws) being similar to the First Republic Senate.

== Goals and Values ==

=== The Republic's Goals ===
- To create a nation of progress

- To oppose evil and oppression

- To help others in need

=== The Republic's Values ===

- Everyone is equal in value

- Everyone has a voice that should be heard

- Everyone can cause change within the Republic

== Government and Politics ==

The Republic is a constitutional bicameral parliamentary republic, with three branches of government: The Executive, the Representative (legislative), and the Judicial branches.

=== Executive Branch ===

The head of state of the Republic is the Grand Premier, who is responsible for leading the executive branch of government, as well as assuming the role of commander-in-chief of the Republic Navy. The Grand Premier also is responsible for instituting new legislation passed by Senate into law. The Grand Premier serves for six-month terms, with a term limit of two terms. If the Grand Premier loses re-election, they are unable to run for the office of Grand Premier again.

The Executive Branch also contains all of the Executive Branch Ministries of government, described in detail below.
 
==== Ministry of Foreign Affairs ====
[[File:Republic MoFA Black.png|thumb|Icon for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.]]
Responsible for conducting diplomacy with other political entities in the Galaxy.
 
==== Ministry of Justice ====
[[File:Republic MoJ Black.png|thumb|Icon for the Ministry of Justice.]]
Responsible for charging individuals of crimes and conducting investigations. Evidence that the Ministry of Justice finds is presented to the judicial system for a hearing.
 
=== Representative Branch ===

See also Senate of the Republic

The representative branch of the Republican government, collectively known as the Senate, is bicameral and thus split into two separate houses: The House of State, and the House of Commons.

Both houses of Senate elect a single Speaker, which acts as a link between the two legislative houses. Either house can vote to dismiss the Speaker with a supermajority vote -- there only needs to be one house that votes the Speaker to be removed for the Speaker to be forced to leave office.

The Speaker of the Senate has the power to extend the time allowed for voting on any legislation to take place. In addition, the Speaker has the power to vote on all ties for legislation. In addition, if the Premier of the House of Commons requests the removal of a Secretary of State from Senate, the Speaker is responsible for denying or approving this request.
 
==== House of State ====
[[File:Republic Icons State Black.png|thumb|Icon for the House of State.]]
Created with the intent to have reduced partisanship, members of the House of State are directly elected to the position. The House of State consists of directly elected senators, as well as the heads of state of Republican subfactions. The Constitution posits that there must be more directly elected senators in the House of State than heads of state of integrated sub-factions.

Members of the House of State which are not directly elected senators are unable to vote on legislation. However, they are able to propose motions and pieces of legislation themselves.

Members of the House of State are elected, via a preferential voting system, to 6-month terms.

 

==== House of Commons ====
[[File:Republic Icons Commons Black.png|thumb|Icon for the House of Commons.]]
The House of Commons, unlike the House of State, is intended to be politicized, following party lines.

The House of Commons is the legislative heart of the Republic. Most legislation will originate in the House of Commons, though legislation may also be brought up in the House of State. If a piece of legislation reaches a majority vote in the House of Commons, but not a supermajority, it is then sent to the House of State for approval. If a vote for a proposal reaches a supermajority (2/3 vote) in the House of Commons, the legislation bypasses the House of State entirely and is presented directly to the Grand Premier.

The head of the legislative government is known as the Premier, who is the leader of the party or coalition that gets a majority of the seats in the House of Commons. The Premier has a consecutive term limit of three terms and unlike the Grand Premier, can run for re-election once they lose the office of Premier.

The Premier is also responsible for nominating the Secretaries, which would be members of the House of Commons which represent the interests of executive department Ministries in the legislature.

Elections for the House of Commons are based on a closed-list party-list proportional representation voting system, meaning that political parties as a whole run for seats in the House of Commons, not individual candidates.

Members of the House of Commons serve 4-month terms.
 
=== Judicial Branch ===

See also, The Supreme Court of the Republic

The judicial branch of the Republic consists of the President of the Supreme Court, as well as an undefined number of justices. Justices are nominated for the Supreme Court by the Grand Premier and confirmed by the House of State.

The Supreme Court is responsible for holding hearings for crimes, removing corrupt members of the government, hearing cases for appeal, and handling other judicial matters.
 
=== Electoral Commission ===

See also Republic Electoral Commission

Not belonging to any of the three traditional branches of government, the Election Commission is a group of individuals responsible for the smooth running of the Republican elections, and are also given the responsibility of investigating Senate and Ministry officials if accused of wrongdoing, holding the power to remove individuals from power.

The Electoral Commission consists of three justices appointed by the Supreme Court, the Grand Premier, and one constitutional advisor appointed by the House of State from the Senate. The Commission is led by a Chairman, which must be one of the three Supreme Court justices. This is voted on by everyone in the Electoral Commission.

The Electoral Commission can be impeached by the Supreme Court, requiring a hard majority vote from the Supreme Court justices prompted by an appeal for an Electoral Commission decision.

The '''Republic''' is a democratic player faction, created in reaction to the dominance of totalitarian governments in the universe.

== History ==
On July 4, 2019, a small group of robots came together with the common goal of creating a democratic nation, where the voice of all citizens would be heard and considered by the government.

The Republic's first Constitution was published on July 4, 2019, however, the members of the Republic soon saw the need for improvement in the Constitution to provide more checks and balances, in order to protect the nation from a tyrannical group taking power and abusing it.

Elections for the Provisionary Council for The Republic were held on July 15, 2019, lasting until July 17, 2019. The Provisionary Council was tasked with creating a new constitution for The Republic. The members of the Provisionary Council wrote and rewrote the document that would eventually become the Republic's Constitution. On July 19, 2019, the new Constitution was put up to a simple majority vote, passing unanimously (26 - 0).

The Constitution of the Republic can be found at the following link: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EjCWpWP5rQPVzwuDt9m2sGdHUhZcPd7J/view The Constitution of the Republic]

On July 21, 2019, the Provisionary Council passed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Enabling Act, creating the first executive department ministry in the nation's history (excepting the Ministry of Justice, which was established in the Constitution).

On July 30, 2019, the Republic signed non-aggression pacts with The Slavic Federation, The Collective, and the Vultar Unity.

On August 2, 2019, the Steelwing Ravens joined the Republic as a sub-faction.

On August 10, 2019, the Republic gained its hundredth member, prompting the creation of the first Electoral Commission to put the Constitution into effect.

On August 11, 2019, the Provisionary Council was dissolved.

Elections for the First Republic House of Commons and the First Republic House of State were held, with the results being announced on August 23, 2019. During the first months of the Republic, the administration was tasked with setting precedents, establishing standing orders for both houses of the Republic Senate, and establishing the first important laws of the Republic, including establishing the concept of criminal behavior legally.

The second Republic House of Commons and House of State were elected in mid-December 2019, with the overall legislative agenda (establishing procedure and other essential laws) being similar to the First Republic Senate.

== Goals and Values ==

=== The Republic's Goals ===
- To create a nation of progress

- To oppose evil and oppression

- To help others in need

=== The Republic's Values ===

- Everyone is equal in value

- Everyone has a voice that should be heard

- Everyone can cause change within the Republic

== Government and Politics ==

The Republic is a constitutional bicameral parliamentary republic, with three branches of government: The Executive, the Representative (legislative), and the Judicial branches.

=== Executive Branch ===

The head of state of the Republic is the Grand Premier, who is responsible for leading the executive branch of government, as well as assuming the role of commander-in-chief of the Republic Navy. The Grand Premier also is responsible for instituting new legislation passed by Senate into law. The Grand Premier serves for six-month terms, with a term limit of two terms. If the Grand Premier loses re-election, they are unable to run for the office of Grand Premier again.

The Executive Branch also contains all of the Executive Branch Ministries of government, described in detail below.
 
==== Ministry of Foreign Affairs ====
[[File:Republic MoFA Black.png|thumb|Icon for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.]]
Responsible for conducting diplomacy with other political entities in the Galaxy.
 
==== Ministry of Justice ====
[[File:Republic MoJ Black.png|thumb|Icon for the Ministry of Justice.]]
Responsible for charging individuals of crimes and conducting investigations. Evidence that the Ministry of Justice finds is presented to the judicial system for a hearing.
 
=== Representative Branch ===

See also Senate of the Republic

The representative branch of the Republican government, collectively known as the Senate, is bicameral and thus split into two separate houses: The House of State, and the House of Commons.

Both houses of Senate elect a single Speaker, which acts as a link between the two legislative houses. Either house can vote to dismiss the Speaker with a supermajority vote -- there only needs to be one house that votes the Speaker to be removed for the Speaker to be forced to leave office.

The Speaker of the Senate has the power to extend the time allowed for voting on any legislation to take place. In addition, the Speaker has the power to vote on all ties for legislation. In addition, if the Premier of the House of Commons requests the removal of a Secretary of State from Senate, the Speaker is responsible for denying or approving this request.
 
==== House of State ====
[[File:Republic Icons State Black.png|thumb|Icon for the House of State.]]
Created with the intent to have reduced partisanship, members of the House of State are directly elected to the position. The House of State consists of directly elected senators, as well as the heads of state of Republican subfactions. The Constitution posits that there must be more directly elected senators in the House of State than heads of state of integrated sub-factions.

Members of the House of State which are not directly elected senators are unable to vote on legislation. However, they are able to propose motions and pieces of legislation themselves.

Members of the House of State are elected, via a preferential voting system, to 6-month terms.

 

==== House of Commons ====
[[File:Republic Icons Commons Black.png|thumb|Icon for the House of Commons.]]
The House of Commons, unlike the House of State, is intended to be politicized, following party lines.

The House of Commons is the legislative heart of the Republic. Most legislation will originate in the House of Commons, though legislation may also be brought up in the House of State. If a piece of legislation reaches a majority vote in the House of Commons, but not a supermajority, it is then sent to the House of State for approval. If a vote for a proposal reaches a supermajority (2/3 vote) in the House of Commons, the legislation bypasses the House of State entirely and is presented directly to the Grand Premier.

The head of the legislative government is known as the Premier, who is the leader of the party or coalition that gets a majority of the seats in the House of Commons. The Premier has a consecutive term limit of three terms and unlike the Grand Premier, can run for re-election once they lose the office of Premier.

The Premier is also responsible for nominating the Secretaries, which would be members of the House of Commons which represent the interests of executive department Ministries in the legislature.

Elections for the House of Commons are based on a closed-list party-list proportional representation voting system, meaning that political parties as a whole run for seats in the House of Commons, not individual candidates.

Members of the House of Commons serve 4-month terms.
 
=== Judicial Branch ===

See also, The Supreme Court of the Republic

The judicial branch of the Republic consists of the President of the Supreme Court, as well as an undefined number of justices. Justices are nominated for the Supreme Court by the Grand Premier and confirmed by the House of State.

The Supreme Court is responsible for holding hearings for crimes, removing corrupt members of the government, hearing cases for appeal, and handling other judicial matters.
 
=== Electoral Commission ===

See also Republic Electoral Commission

Not belonging to any of the three traditional branches of government, the Election Commission is a group of individuals responsible for the smooth running of the Republican elections, and are also given the responsibility of investigating Senate and Ministry officials if accused of wrongdoing, holding the power to remove individuals from power.

The Electoral Commission consists of three justices appointed by the Supreme Court, the Grand Premier, and one constitutional advisor appointed by the House of State from the Senate. The Commission is led by a Chairman, which must be one of the three Supreme Court justices. This is voted on by everyone in the Electoral Commission.

The Electoral Commission can be impeached by the Supreme Court, requiring a hard majority vote from the Supreme Court justices prompted by an appeal for an Electoral Commission decision.

__TOC__
== Faction description ==
The Kingdom is one of the largest factions in the universe, ruled by King Joel the Just and the Assembly. 
Kingdom is a mostly civilian faction focused on new player experience. 
Their symbol is the crest of the royal house, which shows the Red Star Shield adorned with red wings. The crest is granted to important personnel and ships within the faction. 
The Kingdom is currently at war with the [[Empire]], the other largest faction in the universe. 
Kingdom is the leader of the King's Banner alliance, which has the objective of giving military and economic support to the members.

== Government ==

=== Overview ===
Since the reformation of Kingdom with the passing of the Assembly bill on the 15th of September 2020, Kingdom has been a representative democracy similar to an oligarchy. The current structure of Kingdom is as follows:
* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 5 councillors. The assembly vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly (this rarely happens).
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, tasks, and a designated leader from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Task groups ===

It is clear, that such a community can only thrive on the back of a strong and healthy economy. In order to guarantee a positive development in this regard, a task group was needed and thus "The Treasury" was founded.

'''Infrastructure''' 
[[File:Infrastructure.png|left|100px]]
When it comes to putting the base in Starbase, the Infrastructure Task Group has Kingdom covered. Any public buildings such as stations are the responsibility of the ITG which can use Kingdom resources and call on the aid of Kingdom citizens to construct areas for the good of the faction. Unlike the Shipforge, the ITG specialises in station construction. A good example of this station is Keystone and its Great Hall. While the work of the ITG is for the benefit of the Kingdom, sometimes it sells areas of stations to private investors so as to raise money for the Assembly, stimulate Kingdom's economy, or both. The Assembly acts as an moderating force over the ITG, making sure that the resources it uses to build Kingdom's stations are put to good use for the benefit of the Kingdom. This is lead by ShortysCartoonCorner (Tazeem)
 
 
'''Shipforge'''

=== King's Banner Companies===
Kingdom companies, known as [[King's Banner|King's Banner]] collectively, are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:
* Falsemotives Coding and Co.
* C.O.A.S.T
* Slavic Federation
* Sine Nominus Vulge
* Starbase Design Agency

Past election results can be found [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KxgBOw0B4dvEoDDMVPOfS9P_YcK8pXRsabRoCamcz5g here.] 

== Military==
The Defence task group, also known as the Kingdom Defence Force, is the military of Kingdom, handling policing and threats from external military forces. 
[REDACTED] 

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire's love for bread

'''Arms of the King''' 
Arms of the King is a branch consisting of several units from military Kingdom companies. With the help of officers, these companies are organised as one branch. The Arms have their own ship designs and strategies, but also receive such things from other branches of the military.
The Kingdom has a number of [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ships]] that they commandeer.

=== Ranks ===
Kingdom forces are given different ranks based on their performance, service time, and military branch. Arms of the King may also have their own ranks.

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire's love for bread

== Faction description ==
The Kingdom is one of the largest factions in the universe, ruled by King Joel the Just and the Assembly. 
Kingdom is a mostly civilian faction focused on new player experience. 
Their symbol is the crest of the royal house, which shows the Red Star Shield adorned with red wings. The crest is granted to important personnel and ships within the faction. 
The Kingdom is currently at war with the [[Empire]], the other largest faction in the universe. 
Kingdom is the leader of the King's Banner alliance, which has the objective of giving military and economic support to the members.

== Government ==

=== Overview ===
Since the reformation of Kingdom with the passing of the Assembly bill on the 15th of September 2020, Kingdom has been a representative democracy similar to an oligarchy. The current structure of Kingdom is as follows:
* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 7 councillors. The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Task groups ===

'''Home Office''' 
[[File:KHO.png|left|100px]]
The Home Office is a task group which is the unification of the Publicity task group, the previously rejected Titles task group, and the previously proposed moderation task group. This task group moderates Kingdom platforms, manages and grants citizenship, manages advertisement of Kingdom, manages and creates titles, and communicates with the Frozenbyte team. This task group is led by Dino. 
 
 
 
'''Defence''' 
[[File:KDF.png|left|100px]]
The Defence task group is the military of Kingdom, responsible for defending Kingdom against hostile external forces. This task group is headed by Aquamarine. 
 
 
 
 
'''Foreign Office''' 
[[File:KFA.png|left|100px]]
Foreign affairs is handled by the Foreign Office. Jimothy is the current leader of this task group. 
 
 
 
 
 
'''Treasury''' 
The Kingdom is a hub for liberty, growing businesses and individuals who make their first steps in this big universe. It is clear, that such a community can only thrive on the back of a strong and healthy economy. In order to guarantee a positive development in this regard, a task group was needed and thus "The Treasury" was founded. It's main purpose is to safeguard the Kingdom's assets and finance the various endeavors of it's people. The Treasury is currently headed by Waanjo. 
 
'''Infrastructure''' 
The Infrastructure Task Group or ITG is the body responsible for the planning and construction of kingdom assets. It is broken down into 3 teams each responsible for different jobs in the construction of an asset. The ITG is led by (Paladin) Greenwood with 2 deputies behind him- Ulbranium from Duratech and Explorerbob. The infrastructure task group now does the planning and designing of its stations. 
 
'''Shipforge''' 
As the name implies, the Ship design task group is responsible for designing various ships for Kingdom. Additionally, this task group is charged with aiding players in ship designing by: publishing official material such as information or guides, and directly help- and give advice to citizens. This task group is headed by Sturmtreiber. 
 
'''Mining''' 
The mining task group, headed by Nemipa, organises weekly mining events for Kingdom.

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:
* [[Duratech|DURΛTΞCH]]
* Falsemotives Coding and Co.
* C.O.A.S.T
* NKT
* Slavic Federation
* Sine Nominus Vulge
* Starbase Design Agency
* [https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/GOONS G.O.O.N.S]
* White Lotus

== Politics ==
=== Elections ===
An election occurs when a member of the assembly resigns or is recalled. There is a 7-day nomination period in which citizens can sign up for the seat. After this period, there is a 7-day voting period, in which citizens vote for whomever they believe should get the seat in the assembly. 
The original 7 members of the Assembly were Auxiy, Avoxa, Blight of Powers, Greenwood, Myst von Gavreau, Woodz, and Zigon. 
==== 1st Election ====
On the 12th of October, Myst von Gavreau resigned his seat on the Assembly. There was no election, as there was no competitor to Dominique von Ares.

Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire's love for bread

== Faction description ==
The Kingdom is one of the largest factions in the universe, ruled by King Joel the Just and the Assembly. 
Kingdom is a mostly civilian faction focused on new player experience. 
Their symbol is the crest of the royal house, which shows the Red Star Shield adorned with red wings. The crest is granted to important personnel and ships within the faction. 
The Kingdom is currently at war with the [[Empire]], the other largest faction in the universe. 
Kingdom is the leader of the King's Banner alliance, which has the objective of giving military and economic support to the members.

== Government ==

=== Overview ===
Since the reformation of Kingdom with the passing of the Assembly bill on the 15th of September 2020, Kingdom has been a representative democracy similar to an oligarchy. The current structure of Kingdom is as follows:
* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 7 councillors. The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Task groups ===

'''Home Office''' 
[[File:KHO.png|left|100px]]
The Home Office is a task group which is the unification of the Publicity task group, the previously rejected Titles task group, and the previously proposed moderation task group. This task group moderates Kingdom platforms, manages and grants citizenship, manages advertisement of Kingdom, manages and creates titles, and communicates with the Frozenbyte team. This task group is led by Dino. 
 
 
 
'''Defence''' 
[[File:KDF.png|left|100px]]
The Defence task group is the military of Kingdom, responsible for defending Kingdom against hostile external forces. This task group is headed by Aquamarine. 
 
 
 
 
'''Foreign Office''' 
[[File:KFA.png|left|100px]]
Foreign affairs is handled by the Foreign Office. Jimothy is the current leader of this task group. 
 
 
 
 
 
'''Treasury''' 
The Kingdom is a hub for liberty, growing businesses and individuals who make their first steps in this big universe. It is clear, that such a community can only thrive on the back of a strong and healthy economy. In order to guarantee a positive development in this regard, a task group was needed and thus "The Treasury" was founded. It's main purpose is to safeguard the Kingdom's assets and finance the various endeavors of it's people. The Treasury is currently headed by Waanjo. 
 
'''Infrastructure''' 
The Station design task group is responsible for designing stations. The Station design task group is not responsible for overseeing the construction of stations. It is currently led by Greenwood. 
 
'''Shipforge''' 
As the name implies, the Ship design task group is responsible for designing various ships for Kingdom. Additionally, this task group is charged with aiding players in ship designing by: publishing official material such as information or guides, and directly help- and give advice to citizens. This task group is headed by Sturmtreiber. 
 
'''Mining''' 
The mining task group, headed by Nemipa, organises weekly mining events for Kingdom.

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:
* [https://discord.com/invite/yHuWBDe A.R.C]
* [[Duratech|DURΛTΞCH]]
* Falsemotives Coding and Co.
* [[Syndicate Security|ORION]]
* C.O.A.S.T
* NKT
* Slavic Federation
* Sine Nominus Vulge
* Starbase Design Agency
* [https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/GOONS G.O.O.N.S]

== Politics ==
=== Elections ===
An election occurs when a member of the assembly resigns or is recalled. There is a 7-day nomination period in which citizens can sign up for the seat. After this period, there is a 7-day voting period, in which citizens vote for whomever they believe should get the seat in the assembly. 
The original 7 members of the Assembly were Auxiy, Avoxa, Blight of Powers, Greenwood, Myst von Gavreau, Woodz, and Zigon.

== Faction description ==
The Kingdom is one of the largest factions in the universe, ruled by King Joel the Just and the Assembly. 
Kingdom is a mostly civilian faction focused on new player experience. 
Their symbol is the crest of the royal house, which shows the Red Star Shield adorned with red wings. The crest is granted to important personnel and ships within the faction. 
The Kingdom is currently at war with the [[Empire]], the other largest faction in the universe. 
Kingdom is the leader of the King's Banner alliance, which has the objective of giving military and economic support to the members.

== Government ==

=== Overview ===
Since the reformation of Kingdom with the passing of the Assembly bill on the 15th of September 2020, Kingdom has been a representative democracy similar to an oligarchy. The current structure of Kingdom is as follows:
* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 7 councillors. The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Task groups ===

'''Home Office''' 
[[File:KHO.png|left|100px]]
The Home Office is a task group which is the unification of the Publicity task group, the previously rejected Titles task group, and the previously proposed moderation task group. This task group moderates Kingdom platforms, manages and grants citizenship, manages advertisement of Kingdom, manages and creates titles, and communicates with the Frozenbyte team. This task group is led by Dino. 
 
 
 
'''Defence''' 
[[File:KDF.png|left|100px]]
The Defence task group is the military of Kingdom, responsible for defending Kingdom against hostile external forces. This task group is headed by Aquamarine. 
 
 
 
 
'''Foreign Office''' 
[[File:KFA.png|left|100px]]
Foreign affairs is handled by the Foreign Office. Jimothy is the current leader of this task group. 
 
 
 
 
 
'''Treasury''' 
The treasury task group is responsible for the accounting and protection of the assembly's funds. The Treasury task group is led by Waanjo. 
 
'''Infrastructure''' 
The Station design task group is responsible for designing stations. The Station design task group is not responsible for overseeing the construction of stations. It is currently led by Woodz. 
 
'''Shipforge''' 
As the name implies, the Ship design task group is responsible for designing various ships for Kingdom. Additionally, this task group is charged with aiding players in ship designing by: publishing official material such as information or guides, and directly help- and give advice to citizens. This task group is headed by Sturmtreiber. 
 
'''Mining''' 
The mining task group, headed by Nemipa, organises weekly mining events for Kingdom.

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:
* [https://discord.com/invite/yHuWBDe A.R.C]
* [[Duratech|DURΛTΞCH]]
* Falsemotives Coding and Co.
* [[Syndicate Security|ORION]]
* C.O.A.S.T
* NKT
* Slavic Federation
* Sine Nominus Vulge
* Starbase Design Agency
* G.O.O.N.S

== Politics ==
=== Elections ===
An election occurs when a member of the assembly resigns or is recalled. There is a 7-day nomination period in which citizens can sign up for the seat. After this period, there is a 7-day voting period, in which citizens vote for whomever they believe should get the seat in the assembly. 
The original 7 members of the Assembly were Auxiy, Avoxa, Blight of Powers, Greenwood, Myst von Gavreau, Woodz, and Zigon. 
==== 1st Election ====
On the 12th of October, Myst von Gavreau resigned his seat on the Assembly. There was no election, as there was no competitor to Dominique von Ares.

== Military==
The Defence task group, also known as the Kingdom Defence Force, is the military of Kingdom, handling policing and threats from external military forces. 
[[File:Arms_of_the_king_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Arms of the King''' 
Arms of the King is a branch consisting of several units from military Kingdom companies. With the help of officers, these companies are organised as one branch. The Arms have their own ship designs and strategies, but also receive such things from other branches of the military.
The Kingdom has a number of [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ships]] that they commandeer. 

[[File:Relief_company_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Maintenance Company''' 
The Maintenance Company currently does not exist. 

[[File:Royal_engineers_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Royal Engineers''' 
The Royal Engineers oversee the military's [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ship]] designs. They modify existing and if necessary, create new ship designs. 

=== Ranks ===
Kingdom forces are given different ranks based on their performance, service time, and military branch. Arms of the King may also have their own ranks. 
[[File:Kingdom_ranks_final_fonts.png|800px]]

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire's love for bread

The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Task groups ===
'''Station design''' 
The Station design task group is responsible for designing stations. The Station design task group is not responsible for overseeing the construction of stations. It is currently led by Woodz. 

'''Defence''' 
The Defence task group is the military of Kingdom, responsible for defending Kingdom against hostile external forces. This task group is headed by Aquamarine. 

'''Home Office''' 
The Home Office is a task group which is the unification of the Publicity task group, the previously rejected Titles task group, and the previously proposed moderation task group. This task group moderates Kingdom platforms, manages and grants citizenship, manages advertisement of Kingdom, manages and creates titles, and communicates with the Frozenbyte team. This task group is led by Dino. 

'''Foreign Office''' 
Foreign affairs is handled by the Foreign Office. Jimothy is the current leader of this task group. 

'''Ship design''' 
As the name implies, the Ship design task group is responsible for designing various ships for Kingdom. Additionally, this task group is charged with aiding players in ship designing by: publishing official material such as information or guides, and directly help- and give advice to citizens. This task group is headed by Sturmtreiber. 

'''Treasury''' 
The treasury task group is responsible for the accounting and protection of the assembly's funds. The Treasury task group is led by Waanjo. 

'''Mining''' 
The mining task group, headed by Nemipa, organises weekly mining events for Kingdom.

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:

=== Elections ===
An election occurs when a member of the assembly resigns or is recalled. There is a 7-day nomination period in which citizens can sign up for the seat. After this period, there is a 7-day voting period, in which citizens vote for whomever they believe should get the seat in the assembly. 
The original 7 members of the Assembly were Auxiy, Avoxa, Blight of Powers, Greenwood, Myst von Gavreau, Woodz, and Zigon.

On the 12th of October, Myst von Gavreau resigned his seat on the Assembly. There was no election, as there was no competitor to Dominique von Ares.

'''Arms of the King''' 
Arms of the King is a branch consisting of several units from military Kingdom companies. With the help of officers, these companies are organised as one branch. The Arms have their own ship designs and strategies, but also receive such things from other branches of the military.
The Kingdom has a number of [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ships]] that they commandeer. 

[[File:Relief_company_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Maintenance Company''' 
The Maintenance Company currently does not exist. 

[[File:Royal_engineers_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Royal Engineers''' 
The Royal Engineers oversee the military's [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ship]] designs. They modify existing and if necessary, create new ship designs. 

=== Ranks ===
Kingdom forces are given different ranks based on their performance, service time, and military branch. Arms of the King may also have their own ranks. 
[[File:Kingdom_ranks_final_fonts.png|800px]]

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire's love for bread

== Faction description ==
The Kingdom is one of the largest factions in the universe, ruled by King Joel the Just and the Assembly.

The Kingdom is currently at war with the [[Empire]], the other largest faction in the universe. 
Kingdom is the leader of the King's Banner alliance, which has the objective of giving military and economic support to the members.

== Government ==

=== Overview ===
Since the reformation of Kingdom with the passing of the Assembly bill on the 15th of September 2020, Kingdom has been a representative democracy similar to an oligarchy. The current structure of Kingdom is as follows:
* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 7 councillors. The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Task groups ===
'''Station design''' 
The Station design task group is responsible for designing stations. The Station design task group is not responsible for overseeing the construction of stations. It is currently led by Woodz. 

'''Defence''' 
The Defence task group is the military of Kingdom, responsible for defending Kingdom against hostile external forces. This task group is headed by Dominique von Ares. 

'''Home Office''' 
The Home Office is a task group which is the unification of the Publicity task group, the previously rejected Titles task group, and the previously proposed moderation task group. This task group moderates Kingdom platforms, manages and grants citizenship, manages advertisement of Kingdom, manages and creates titles, and communicates with the Frozenbyte team. This task group is led by Dino. 

'''Foreign Office''' 
Foreign affairs is handled by the Foreign Office. Schmusella is the current leader of this task group. 

'''Ship design''' 
As the name implies, the Ship design task group is responsible for designing various ships for Kingdom. Additionally, this task group is charged with aiding players in ship designing by: publishing official material such as information or guides, and directly help- and give advice to citizens. This task group is headed by Sturmtreiber. 

'''Treasury''' 
The treasury task group is responsible for the accounting and protection of the assembly's funds. The Treasury task group is led by Waanjo. 

'''Mining''' 
The mining task group, headed by Nemipa, organises weekly mining events for Kingdom.

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:
* [https://discord.com/invite/yHuWBDe A.R.C]
* [[Duratech|DURΛTΞCH]]
* Falsemotives Coding and Co.
* [[Syndicate Security|ORION]]
* C.O.A.S.T
* NKT
* Slavic Federation
* Sine Nominus Vulge

== Politics ==
=== Elections ===
An election occurs when a member of the assembly resigns or is recalled. There is a 7-day nomination period in which citizens can sign up for the seat. After this period, there is a 7-day voting period, in which citizens vote for whomever they believe should get the seat in the assembly. 
The original 7 members of the Assembly were Auxiy, Avoxa, Blight of Powers, Greenwood, Myst von Gavreau, Woodz, and Zigon. 
==== 1st Election ====
On the 12th of October, Myst von Gavreau resigned his seat on the Assembly. There was no election, as there was no competitor to Dominique von Ares. 
==== 2nd Election ====
On the 27th of October, Auxiy resigned his seat. The voting period started on the 5th November.

== Military==
The Defence task group, also known as the Kingdom Defence Force, is the military of Kingdom, handling policing and threats from external military forces. 
[[File:Arms_of_the_king_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Arms of the King''' 
Arms of the King is a branch consisting of several units from military Kingdom companies. With the help of officers, these companies are organised as one branch. The Arms have their own ship designs and strategies, but also receive such things from other branches of the military.
The Kingdom has a number of [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ships]] that they commandeer. 

[[File:Relief_company_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Maintenance Company''' 
The Maintenance Company currently does not exist. 

[[File:Royal_engineers_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Royal Engineers''' 
The Royal Engineers oversee the military's [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ship]] designs. They modify existing and if necessary, create new ship designs. 

=== Ranks ===
Kingdom forces are given different ranks based on their performance, service time, and military branch. Arms of the King may also have their own ranks. 
[[File:Kingdom_ranks_final_fonts.png|800px]]

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire's love for bread

:''Main article: [[Constitution of Kingdom]]''
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

'''Station design''' 
The Station design task group is responsible for designing stations. The Station design task group is not responsible for overseeing the construction of stations. It is currently led by Woodz. 

'''Defence''' 
The Defence task group is the military of Kingdom, responsible for defending Kingdom against hostile external forces. This task group is headed by Dominique von Ares. 

'''Home Office''' 
The Home Office is a task group which is the unification of the Publicity task group, the previously rejected Titles task group, and the previously proposed moderation task group. This task group moderates Kingdom platforms, manages and grants citizenship, manages advertisement of Kingdom, manages and creates titles, and communicates with the Frozenbyte team. This task group is led by Dino. 

'''Foreign Office''' 
Foreign affairs is handled by the Foreign Office. Schmusella is the current leader of this task group. 

'''Ship design''' 
As the name implies, the Ship design task group is responsible for designing various ships for Kingdom. Additionally, this task group is charged with aiding players in ship designing by: publishing official material such as information or guides, and directly help- and give advice to citizens. This task group is headed by Sturmtreiber. 

'''Treasury'''

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:

== Politics ==
=== Elections ===
An election occurs when a member of the assembly resigns or is recalled. There is a 7-day nomination period in which citizens can sign up for the seat. After this period, there is a 7-day voting period, in which citizens vote for whomever they believe should get the seat in the assembly. 
The original 7 members of the Assembly were Auxiy, Avoxa, Blight of Powers, Greenwood, Myst von Gavreau, Woodz, and Zigon. 
==== 1st Election ====
On the 12th of October, Myst von Gavreau resigned his seat on the Assembly. There was no election, as there was no competitor to Dominique von Ares. 
==== 2nd Election ====
On the 27th of October, Auxiy resigned his seat. The voting period started on the 5th November.

== Military==
The Defence task group, also known as the Kingdom Defence Force, is the military of Kingdom, handling policing and threats from external military forces. 
[[File:Arms_of_the_king_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Arms of the King''' 
Arms of the King is a branch consisting of several units from military Kingdom companies. With the help of officers, these companies are organised as one branch. The Arms have their own ship designs and strategies, but also receive such things from other branches of the military.
The Kingdom has a number of [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ships]] that they commandeer. 

[[File:Relief_company_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Maintenance Company''' 
The Maintenance Company currently does not exist. 

[[File:Royal_engineers_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Royal Engineers''' 
The Royal Engineers oversee the military's [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ship]] designs. They modify existing and if necessary, create new ship designs. 

=== Ranks ===
Kingdom forces are given different ranks based on their performance, service time, and military branch. Arms of the King may also have their own ranks. 
[[File:Kingdom_ranks_final_fonts.png|800px]]

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire's love for bread

* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 7 councillors. The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

== Xavis ==

=== General info ===
Always a kingdomite at heart, Xavis has been a very active endo in the community. 
He discovered Starbase by accident, through Youtube recommendations (''god bless the algorithm'') and has been in love with the game ever since. 
Always showing an exceptional interest in politics and diplomacy, he has left his mark on the political environment of the game, whether for better or worse. 
''I just know that if Xavis was ever elected there would be another collapse'' -- '''CaptainAtom'''

=== Personal info ===
Born in Gallaecia (North of Spain), he is the only known spanish active player. 
He has a lot of experience in organisation and management due to his past as owner of an Arma 3 military unit. 
He also has a few dozen hours in Space Engineers and some knowledge of Python, which helps him to understand engineering related problems and structures. 
According to some people, impatient and energetic in nature, which helps to give that push when needed. Not for the first time, he admits that his immaturity has got him into trouble.

== Military==
The Defence task group, also known as the Kingdom Defence Force, is the military of Kingdom, handling policing and threats from external military forces. 
[[File:Arms_of_the_king_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Arms of the King''' 
Arms of the King is a branch consisting of several units from military Kingdom companies. With the help of officers, these companies are organised as one branch. The Arms have their own ship designs and strategies, but also receive such things from other branches of the military.
The Kingdom has a number of [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ships]] that they commandeer. 

[[File:Relief_company_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Maintenance Company''' 
The Maintenance Company currently does not exist. 

[[File:Royal_engineers_sleeve.png|100px]] 
'''Royal Engineers''' 
The Royal Engineers oversee the military's [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ship]] designs. They modify existing and if necessary, create new ship designs. 

=== Ranks ===
Kingdom forces are given different ranks based on their performance, service time, and military branch. Arms of the King may also have their own ranks. 
[[File:Kingdom_ranks_final_fonts.png|800px]]

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire´s love for bread

__TOC__
== Faction description ==
The Kingdom is one of the largest factions in the universe, ruled by King Joel the Just and the Assembly. 
Kingdom is a mostly civilian faction focused on new player experience. 
Their symbol is the crest of the royal house, which shows the Red Star Shield adorned with red wings. The crest is granted to important personnel and ships within the faction. 
The Kingdom is currently at war with the [[Empire]], the other largest faction in the universe.

== Government ==

=== Overview ===
Since the reformation of Kingdom with the passing of the Assembly bill on the 15th of September 2020, Kingdom has been a representative democracy similar to an oligarchy. The current structure of Kingdom is as follows:
* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 7 councillors. The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
:''Main article: [[Constitution of Kingdom]]''
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Task groups ===
'''Station design''' 
The Station design task group is responsible for designing stations. The Station design task group is not responsible for overseeing the construction of stations. It is currently led by Woodz. 

'''Defence''' 
The Defence task group is the military of Kingdom, responsible for defending Kingdom against hostile external forces. This task group is headed by Dominique von Ares. 

'''Home Office''' 
The Home Office is a task group which is the unification of the Publicity task group, the previously rejected Titles task group, and the previously proposed moderation task group. This task group moderates Kingdom platforms, manages and grants citizenship, manages advertisement of Kingdom, manages and creates titles, and communicates with the Frozenbyte team. This task group is led by Greenwood. 

'''Foreign Office''' 
Foreign affairs is handled by the Foreign Office. Schmusella is the current leader of this task group. 

'''Ship design''' 
As the name implies, the Ship design task group is responsible for designing various ships for Kingdom. Additionally, this task group is charged with aiding players in ship designing by: publishing official material such as information or guides, and directly help- and give advice to citizens. This task group is headed by Sturmtreiber. 

'''Treasury''' 
The treasury task group is responsible for the accounting and protection of the assembly's funds. The Treasury task group is led by Mr. Barcode 

'''Mining''' 
The mining task group, headed by Sturmtreiber, organises weekly mining events for Kingdom.

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:
* [https://discord.com/invite/yHuWBDe Repair Association of Thuban Synthetics]
* [[Duratech|DURΛTΞCH]]
* Falsemotives Coding and Co.
* [[Syndicate Security]]
* C.O.A.S.T

== Politics ==
=== Elections ===
An election occurs when a member of the assembly resigns or is recalled. There is a 7-day nomination period in which citizens can sign up for the seat. After this period, there is a 7-day voting period, in which citizens vote for whomever they believe should get the seat in the assembly. 
The original 7 members of the Assembly were Auxiy, Avoxa, Blight of Powers, Greenwood, Myst von Gavreau, Woodz, Zigon. 
==== 1st Election ====
On the 12th of October, Myst von Gavreau resigned his seat on the Assembly. There was no election, as there was no competitor to Dominique von Ares. 
==== 2nd Election ====
On the 27th of October, Auxiy resigned his seat. The voting period started on the 5th November.

Arms of the King is a branch consisting of several units from military Kingdom companies. With the help of officers, these companies are organised as one branch. The Arms have their own ship designs and strategies, but also receive such things from other branches of the military.
The Kingdom has a number of [[:Category:Kingdom_spaceships|ships]] that they commandeer.

=== Ranks ===
Kingdom forces are given different ranks based on their performance, service time, and military branch. Arms of the King may also have their own ranks. 
[[File:Kingdom_ranks_final_fonts.png|800px]]

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you. Kingdomites also have a natural attraction to tea and foods that are related to UK in any way. Some people see this as a parody of Empire´s love for bread

Since the reformation of Kingdom with the passing of the Assembly bill on the 15th of September 2020, Kingdom has been a representative democracy similar to an oligarchy. The current structure of Kingdom is as follows:
* The legislative body of Kingdom, the assembly, consists of 7 councillors. The assembly (and the monarch) vote on bills posted by any citizen of Kingdom, which will either be passed, rejected, or delayed in case a tie occurs. When a councillor resigns or is recalled, an election is held to designate a new councillor.
* The Monarch of Kingdom has the power to veto any decision made by the assembly.
* Task groups are branches in the Kingdom government, which are introduced by bills. These task groups receive a specified amount of power, limitations and responsibilities, a designated leader, etc from the assembly.

=== Constitution ===
:''Main article: [[Constitution of Kingdom]]''
The first constitution of Kingdom was on February 14 2020 by Louis von Benette, Kenetor von Terra, Myst von Gavreau, and Argredor. On September 15th, the constitution was entirely replaced by a new one. This constitution completely changed the legislature of Kingdom, by reducing the number of people required to run Kingdom, as well as reducing the amount of power and duties one individual carries.

=== Kingdom companies===
Kingdom companies are companies which have aligned themselves with Kingdom, and thus get benefits from this. Benefits of being a Kingdom company include: members of the Kingdom company may become citizens of Kingdom (vice versa), Kingdom companies get protection from Kingdom's Defence Force, Kingdom companies get advertisement rights within Kingdom, and the Kingdom companies may get discounted or free of charge lots within Kingdom. Additionally, limitations are placed upon Kingdom companies: all members of a Kingdom company are treated as part of Kingdom in regards to breaches of law - and could be held accountable, and Kingdom companies are not allowed to trade or make deals with certain factions. These are the current Kingdom companies:

== Culture ==
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you.
