In fact Xenos represent the isolationist movement that existed in the US in the past I believe. Their political goals is to favor some kind of system that does not need export or import. The are Xenophobic somehow.
Its has a Chancellor, and that is no indication of democracy. In fact a democracy goes against fascist ideals. (trust me I know, I'm a proud blond fascist pig.:D)
I'll speak about Rheinland, being that leader "guy."
Leader of Rheinland is Chancellor Reinhardt. With nothing really to go on when I received control of the faction (other than, here. This is Rheinland), I just went with it. I made a few policies, and it evolved into a fascist state well out of my control or influence. I didn't plan Rheinland to be a fascist police theocratic place, but it ended up being that way... Somehow. I believe the blame would fall on Quintinius, as his RM character was the first who was blindly following this religion. . . Then it spread to the other members.
Anyway, as I understand it supreme power lies with the Chancellor, who is advised mostly by Admiral Krieg, who governs Frankfurt. Within Rheinland, there are a number of problems because of the ridiculously tight way of life, represented by the presence of the largest number of pirate factions in the whole of Sirius.
Chancellor made his way to the top by starting as an Admiral in the Military (so to speak), with the disappearance of Kristy Pryde he was the only Admiral willing to attempt to take her place and things evolved out of his hands when a large and grow religious group declared him as chosen by the Gods and the mysterious disappearance of the last Chancellor removing her to make way for him.
To be honest, I'd suggest you talk to Praetyre about Rheinland, as he wrote most of the wiki stuff.
Quote:Actually, I've already used different names for Rheinland chancellors (one former, one current), and inserted them into the news... and, what's more important, the "fascist police state" part. Is it really part of server role-play? To be honest, I meant completely different role for Rheinland after its recovery from Nomad intervention. Not fascist, and not even police state. Currently, victims of Liberty aggression with some agenda of their own. With internal political situation... well, sort of improving.
Well, the current government is having all these problems because it cannot afford to make equality between its members, thanks to the Liberty's forced reparations (which should be RPed as no longer being paid since the military is built up again).
If you don't like this (and we've gotten some complaints, some compliments) we can make some changes. They can't happen immediately, because that wouldn't make sense, but hey...
Actually, if Liberty is similar to it's ancestor in government, it would be a republic, not a democracy.
It seems Rheinland, at the moment, is an unelected dictatorship, I suspect to avoid the bizarre quandary of literally electing God. I'm actually not too sure about the Rheinland criminal factions. They seem to have elements of both German communists and 20's era Nazis, particularily when you consider some of them are part of the "xenophobes in space".
