United Republic of Orion

The United Republic of Orion is a galactic government located in the Milky Way of Dimension AI-26. It was founded by First Executive Sparre and his political allies to make a stronger solar government following the Laake Conspiracy. It is considered the succesor state of the Solar Union.

Etymology
The official name of the URO is the United Republic of Orion, in reference to the common deity known as Orion, portrayed as the savior of solarkind alike.

Foundation
In 32 P.T., after the Laake Conspiracy, the different political factions of the Solar Union came to an agreement to replace the constitution, and so a constitutional convention was held, and the Constitution of 32 P.T. was ratified.

The new constitution included features like the separation of Head of State (Regent) from Head of Government (Chancellor), the restructuring of the provinces and Tributary States, and the reform of the Chamber of Deputies. Thus, the United Republic of Orion was formed

Blair Chancellorship (32-35)
Shortly after the New Oslo Convention, former Union First Executive Tony Blair (of the National Party) won the election for Chancellor of the Republic, with Enzo Fox assuming the title of Regent of the Republic. As his first actions, Regent Fox and Director Hayes of the TDO created and ordered the Guardian Directive, in order to pool humans from endangered dimensions to populate the Great Lakes Region of Earth.

In 33 P.T., Senator Gustaf Sparre (Head of the National Party) pushed forward a project to form the National Truth Comission in order to investigate a number of events that have remained unexplained to the general public of Orion. This project is passed and Assistant Director Haig is appointed as the Head of the Comission. During one such investigation, a Vortex cell was discovered embedded within the URO and so a general crackdown carried out by the Grand Army ocurred, shortly thereafter, Haig presented a final report to the Senate, concluding the investigations by the NTC and causing its dissolution.

After the Battalion crackdown, UFSR President Juliana Froderboier announced the UFSR and the URO would unify. This whole process was overseen by Blair and his Vice-Chancellor and would take until early 35 P.T. until it was fully completed.

(insert politics)

In 35 P.T., in the midst of his third year as Chancellor, the Court of Auditors released a report of an investigation titled Operation Lightbulb which sought to uncover several corruption cases that happened during the construction of the Estela-Sol-Belenus Gateways. Major corporations of the URO, Blair and his cabinet were all linked to these cases and so he is forced to resign by Congress. Sparre, the National Party candidate, was forced to become the Interim Chancellor and his campaign was succeded by Deputy Xiao.

Geography
The United Republic of Orion is divided into three main star systems, with one minor star system and another two territories located in pocket dimensions. The three main star systems are the Sol System, the Belenus System and the Estella System.

The Sol system has two major planets. The first and largest planet is Venus, which is a rocky planet with a very thick and large atmosphere. Most of its large cities are floating structures, with some smaller towns being located in specially protected areas in the surface. Mars is slightly smaller than Venus, and is also a rocky planet. It has been terraformed in some aspects, and now has a breathable atmosphere, with a strong magnetic field that deflects radiation. Besides these two planets, the Sol system is also home to the Earth and Ceres. Earth has been mostly decimated by a nuclear war and two alien invasions in a (relatively) short period of time. Following the decimation of Earth, multiple mining bases began construction, and where fully operational within a few years. Ceres was colonized during the Sol Imperium, and has since been a center of mining operations in the Asteroid Belt. Titan, Io, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, Titania, Triton and Enceladus meanwhile have been terraformed and currently house human colonies, Enceladus is a haven for retired clones to live their retirement in.

In the Belenus system, the only inhabited celestial body is the planet of Apollo, which is a rocky planet, with three large seas and has a large region of fertile land next to its largest lake.

In Estella, there is one inhabitable planet and two large inhabited moons: the planet Novaterra and the moons of Doabta and Tenochtitlan. All are rocky and have large oceans alongside fertile land.

The minor system of Centauri has only one inhabited planet, Centauri B. A small mining colony resides here. There is also a government base to study the Quoy'Darh species.

The Interregnum and Eden dimension are both pocket dimensions, with Eden dimension being home to Eden Base, and the Interregnum being home to many provinces of the URO.
