Hey, I had an idea about what course the government of the United Hegemony of Cifsk will take after the Clifsk Affair.

In order to maintain order after the incident which wipes out half of their race, the government of course, needs to get bigger. So, after all is done, the government will end up being the most bloated, bureaucracy filled institution you can ever think of. Forms for everything, regulations on just about everything, ungodly amounts of paperwork, and codes for everything. It will be huge, and have some sort of influence over every aspect of their society, and be completely dysfunctional. To make it even weirder, I'm pairing it to a democracy. So think of it as a "Regulative Authoritarian Democracy."

The economy will be a mix of Private Corporatism and State Capitalism, where the State owned Corporations allied with the Private ones, hold a firm monopoly over the economy and small businesses are snuffed out or become subsidiaries. They will push over a very consumerist culture, and, along with the government, will have a firm grasp over the average citizen's daily life. I'll also be sure to add a few Fascist elements in there as well.

Tell me what you think of it, and perhaps we can talk about it more on IRC if time allows you to. :)
