Jagatharian Republicof Free Peoples

[derekiv]

Name of Faction: Jagatharian Republic (Actually the Jagatharian
Republic of Free Peoples. But they only put that name on paperwork. And
school textbooks.)

Faction History: Originally a colony settle from the original Earth, the planet started to prosper with the discovery that the soil causes all Terran
life forms to live exponentially longer. Made fortunes exporting the
planet's trees, which were what created the soil. Eventually the inevitable
happened: the mass wave of immigration. With the rising prices of
Jagatharian trees and soil, the middle class man could no longer afford it.
They saw immigrating as an easy way to live forever. As the ships started
heading towards Jagathar, the Jagatharians closed there borders and enforced a immigration blockade. After 1 day any unauthorized ship
heading towards Jagathar would be destroyed with extreme prejudice.
After the first hundred foolish immigrants ignored this warning and were
killed the other immigrants realized that the Jagatharians were serious,
they gave up there foolish venture. Jagathar then opened its border to
merchant vessels and selected immigrants. The selection process for the
new immigrants was designed to make sure the only the best and the
brightest became a citizen. Each year, the selection process got harder and harder as the number of slots went down.

Soon, it was realized that anyone born on Jagathar had no need to
remain to have an extended life-span. Suddenly, every expecting mother
wanted to be on Jagathar, however temporarily, to have there children.
The Jagatharians once again only allowed the best and brightest to enter, but this time the slots were pretty much infinite. In Jagathar, any body
who has a physical or mental defect, they are sent to a hospital and stay
there until a treatment comes out that can make them normal. Children
without defects, but who cannot pass the mandatory I.Q. test are trained
to be in the military or be somebody who's job doesn't require a lot of
intelligence.

Leader Name: Derek Falconson

Leader Description: Voted into power as the second President of the
Jagatharian Republic of Free peoples. He has been in power for 341 years.
Under him the economy has prospered and free trade has flourished. Has
a very lenient regime and dislikes excessive penalties. The current max
sentence for any crime is 200 years in prison. Considering Jagatharians live for a few thousand years, this isn't much. (In human terms, this is equivalent to around 1 year and jail.)
