Backstory of the Tecnocracia Brasileira (Brazillian Technocracy):

The Brazillian people, on the third millenium, were the most advanced polities inside the Galactic Empire, aways valorizing technical knowledge, they were responsible for the discovery and proto-research on trans-newtonian theory and technology, they also were the people who invented the jump drives, cloak devices, UV Laser turrets and many other wondrous technogical wonders that amazed the entire galaxy.

Once the Alien Holocaust began, not even their awesome tech was able to hold their vastly superior foe, so, after many years fighting, they decided that the time had come to build and drive a generation ship, the "Exodo da Civilização" (Exodus of Civilization), because they had such limitations on their ship designs, there wasn´t much space on the ship, and only a few hundred thousand were allowed, selected trough a rigorous and methodical exams of technical and theoretical expertise on all the sciences, even the "social" sciences, like philosophy and sociology, there was not a single feld of expertised that wasn´t filled by the greatest minds of its time.

So they reached the German nebula just a few months after the Commonwealth, the encounter didn´t issued any paricular reaction from the other colonists, and they werent specially interested in politics, let politicians deal with such ideologies and similar dogmatic thinking, there was science to be done, and by the Emperor, it would be done. But, as the years passed, the lack of a organized, decision-making body became evident, they aways became the last to make decisions about the isues of the fleet, and this was endangering the whole mission, so, after much deliberation, they´ve decided to take inspiration from Plato and his Republic, a government of the best, not of philosophers, but of academicians and technicians, of the elightement over the base desires of the masses, knowledge, not ideology (and certainly not religion), would be finally the most important qualification for a good governor, so they have developed their own system of government, the technocracy, the government of the most inteligent and knowledgeable, every official, from the lowest to the highest had to pass exams to be able to occupy such positions, not only exams of knowledge, but psyhiatric, psychological and physiological also,they needed to be hisically and mentally fit to govern, always (altough some critized this kind of criteria, instead of embracing the diversity of personalities and quirks that helped the advancement of science so many times before, now they were trying to padronize and making sure every government official was similar, mentally, to one another). One surprising consequence of such shift, was aproximation of the Technocracy with the chinese Celestial Empire, their current emperor, a studied man, saw the many similarities betwen the confucian bureocracy and the brazilian meritocracy, this is true to this day, altough they have lost contact due to the circustances surrounding Planetfall, this affinity continue to this day.


At the Conference of Offenbach, the Technocracy even tried to make out some kind of treaty with the other remaining factions, but they proved to be inept diplomats, as their every attempt of at least share scientific advancement was met with resistance, and so, the Brazillian decided to redtire themselves from the negotiations table.

Their capital city is Nova Recife.

Shin Sekai Yori no Bakufu

Those are the inheritors of the Japanese colonies, altough their culture was extremely diferent from the Empire´s estabilishment, they integrated themselves rather well on the Old Empire, officially they were subordinate to the Emperor, de facto, they were a semi-independent feudal state, were multiple Daimyo fought amongst themselves for the title of Shõgun, and so it was for hundreds and hundreds of years, their Naisen no Shin Jidai (the New Age of Civil War) dated back from even before the estabilishment of the Empire and the subsequente subjugation by the Emperor.

At the end, this period of warfarfe only ended when the Aliens invaded, they had, for the very first time in their history, united under he figure of a Sõdaina Shõgun (the Grand/Majestic Shogun), the first of this title, that remains to this day, Koubuin Satoshi, a brilliant strategis and tactician, was the only reason the japanese people resisted long enough to survive into their Generation Ship, the Idaina T?s? (The Great Strugle).

But the Sõdaina Shogun who gone into the Idaina Toso wasn´t Satoshi, but his newborn daughter, Koubuin Yui (both men and woman could inherit the Sodaina Shogun, so long there were the first born), Satoshi stayed at the Capital Planet of Shin Hokkaido (New Hokkaido) to fight his last stand and delay the aliens who would, undoubtedly pursue the Idaina Tõsõ; Koubuin Satoshi is revereed today not only as the greatest hero of the japanese people but a de facto god, looking upon his subjects and caring so they do not lose themselves to the barbaric ways of the other colonists, in this aspect, their cultural exclusivity has a religious conotation rather than a secular one, like the british one.

In the centuries of the "Shutsuejiputoki" (Exodus). they remained more or less isolated in their own ways and ceremonies, communications with the other ships was limited to the bare minimum necessary for following the German lead, but they did not accepted any interference in their ways, once the Offenbach Conference was held, they did not even showed at tnhe negotiations table, so absolute was their resolve of prospering alone.

Capital: Shin Kyoto.

The Commonwealth of New Hope

They are the descendants of the first human colonists, and the cultural inheritors of the Galactic Empire, their british descendence had a big influence on their entire history, not only them saw themselves as the carriers of the truly superior culture, in a very roman way, they aways tried to convert others to their own culture, this was no opression, they justified themselves, but it was salvation through their superior way of life, and this cultural exclusivity still remains to this day, they are generaly conservative in heart, but their reasoning was very pragmatic, they had no problem associating themselves to the semi-barbarians of the german colonies or the disgusting chinese, this was thoroughly evidenced by their sucessful peace negotiation between the German Plutocracy and the Chinese Celestial Empire, nevertheless, in their hearts, they knew the reason for such conflicts was the inherent inferiority of the barbarians.

On the era of the Generation Fleet, they decided not to continue the imperial traditions, but forming a Democatic Commonwealth composed of minor cultures and sub-cultures, like the Arabs and the Somali colonists, among many others, the result of this shift was a strange mix of cosmopolitan multiculturalism and cultural exclusivity, the "sub-cultures" had always less rights than the "true british", only the superior culture can guide the way to salvation, it was their moral responsability to take care of those "inferiors".

But once Planetfall happened, and all the factions decided for isolationism on the Offenbach Conference, something surprising happened, a rebellion arose on New Essex City, and the "sub-cultures" decided enough was enough and founded their own faction, the Cosmopolitan Republic of the People, and took over a half of the Commonwealth population.

Nevertheless they are still the "benign" Commonwealth and have not given up on "rescuing" those "misguided souls" to the "true path of salvation".

Their Capital is New Essex.

Republik der Neu Hoffen background:

By the last years of the old Terran Galactic Empire, the german colonies were among the first to be attacked by the aliens, they were the first who had built a Generation Ship, named "Der Kampf des Überlebens" (The Struggle for Survival), the Emperor had ordered they wait for the other Generation Ships once it was done, and so they did, waitedd on the safest place imaginable, a high-density nebula on the outskits of the Milky Way Galaxy, and they waited there...for 8 years, until the rest of the fleet encountered them, by the time they found the Kampf they had already developed intensse distrust of the other colonists, but even them, their discipline and loyalty to the last orders the Emperor gave, they waited, risking their own lives, because if the aliens had found them, they wouldn´t flee and would be promptly destroyed, so absolute was their determination. It was by this time too they had developed the fundamentals of their Plutocratic Oligarchy regime, founded by the first Plutocrat, the legendary Osmund von Lohengramm, who have also founded the Lohengramm family, their current leader, the young Reinhardt is also from this respected family. The other families are: Bauhaus, Messerschmitt, Bösch, Wittgenstein, Oppenheimer, Gerber, Heidegger, Bach, Aust and Kant. All of those families had, at one point or another on their Generation Ship´s Era, a Plutocrat among their ranks.

They were also the de facto leader of the Generation Fleet, and they were the ones who decided that the Planet Offenbach A-III was to be colonized, and no one, exhausted as they were, objected to the decision, even if it meant they would have to divide the planet among them. After planetfall, the germans were the first ones to retire themselves from the Offenbach Conference, the first political negotiations, the mentors of the conference had hoped they would be able to create at least a loose cooperation alliance to strenghten the human race in case of another Alien attack, but their ideological dfferences wered too large and, in the end, only the Replublica de La Nueva Esperanza and the Commonwealth remained, and they too decided an alliance would be out of the picture due to their own differences, the Offenbach Conference was a complete failure and now, all the 6 factions remain independent, mutually isolated and non-cooperative.

Their capital city is Neu München.

I just checked, conventional industry is worth a tenth of a mine and a construction factory, and a twentieth of a refinery.

Conventional industries work as less efficient combined mine, factory and fuel refineries.
Did you make them as NPRs? I notice conventional industry which I think requires setting them as conventional , I believe you can't make them NPR if they're conventional.

It might be a good idea to increase the accessibility, they've got it hard enough .

Yea, you right, i´ve tweaked the acessibility to the minimum of  .8
this should help with them.
