Fiction:United Free Peoples Coalition/Government

The government of the United Free Peoples Coalition is the main body of the executive branch of the United Free Peoples Coalition. It is headed by the Coalitionary General, a position with absolute authority over all matters of state, created and occupied by Gustavus Ikeben.

Most members of the government are instituted by the Coalitionary General, with the exception of the Regional Governors who are little more than elected puppets.

The Office of Coalitionary General
According to the founding documents of the Coalition, the Coalitionary general has absolute executive, judicial, and legislative power over the government and is in direct command of the military. He can create and disband offices and hire or fire officials as is needed to ensure the survival and growth of the Coalition.

The Ministry
The Ministry is the executive department of the Coalitionary government. From its headquarters on Quaran, it handles civilian affairs, including urban planning, the enforcement of law and order, industrial quotas, the establishment of trade routes, the election of Regional Governors and institution of Governor Generals. To accomplish all of these tasks, it hires billions of employees spread throughout the Coalition's vast territory.

The Office of Prime Minister
Prime Minister incumbent: Gallivian Leer

The Prime Minister is the head of the Ministry, and therefore is the civilian head of the government. He is instituted directly by the Coalitionary General, and essentially is charged with ensuring that everything within the ministry runs smoothly. It is also he who heads a specialized committee to come up with economic plans before running them by the Coalitionary General for approval.

Local Governments
The Coalition is divided into sectors each containing up to fifty planets. These sectors are headed by a Regional Governor elected by popular vote, and a Governor General sent over from the core worlds. The Regional Governor supposedly heads the Sector's civilan government, though de facto has very little power. The Governor General, on the other hand, heads the local militia, and is there to ensure that production quotas are being met, that order is being kept, and that the Regional Governor remains in his place as puppet.

Each sector has it's own Regional Ministry, which is essentially a mirror and a direct extension of the larger Ministry based on Quaran.

Extragalactic Government
Extragalactic territories are often too far to micromanage from Quaran, which means that they are given their own galactic government subordinate to the one based in Andromeda, their own galactic capital, and their own Deputy Prime Minister with similar powers as the Prime Minister. Sector divisions work in much the same way.

The Foreign Office
The Foreign Office, as would be divined by the name, busies itself with international relations. They establish consulates and embassies, issue passports, arrange and carry out diplomatic negotiations at the behest of the Coalitionary General, and establish spy networks.

The Office of Foreign Minister
''Foreign Minister incumbent: Jiuvar Relkin

The Foreign Minister is the foreign policy director of the Coalition. He speaks for the Coalitionary General at the negotiation table when he is not available, and advises him when he is.

Embassies
Requests for embassies to be established in the FPC pass by the Foreign Minister for approval. These are typically settled on Quaran, though exceptions can be made. If the power requesting to establish an embassy has its main territory in another galaxy and the FPC has a Galactic Capital in that galaxy, then the embassy will be established there.
