Confederation

The Confederation of Humanity, is a government ruling over earth and various colonies, and client states, by the 28th century. It would seem to be a relatively peaceful entity, valuing the sancity of sentient life as the First Principle of law. It is a loose Federated government with allows a lot of leeway for internal variation among it's member worlds.

Questions on values
Some have argued, from what relatively little we see of the Rejuve universe, outside of the system, that Earth's government is essentially a well meaning Fascist State. And confuses earth's 'full world' restrictions to apply to all member worlds, hence the Confederation itself. While the Confederation is based on Earth, Earth has it own local government separate from it like any other member world.

Amongst other reasons for this belief are:


 * ''Children have to get licenses to ride bicycles
 * Natural human reproduction,is strictly licensed, and the training system does not seem to be tolerant of the idea of "you raise your children the way you want and respect my right to do the same"
 * Previously mentioned criticism of the very existence of the Penitatas system.
 * The fact Parents were required to ground their children after one incident.''

Government mechanics
As of yet, we have insufficient Data on the Term length, of a President. It does have a Assembly, however the Assembly represents the member worlds not the Citizens of the Confederation, as such how the Senators are appointed and recalled determine by the world they represent.

Confederate Law
Except for outside the satellite systems of a chartered world or on Confederate installations, a member world has the right to run their internal affairs of in accordance to their charter's specification.

However every charter must agree to abide to the Principles of Confederation which some of which include :
 * First Principle: Right to Life — This principle prohibits capital punishment and establish the necessity to protect life as a legal defense.
 * Second Principle: Right of Departure — This principle prohibits slavery and right for free citizens to leave a colony.

As such Confederate law mostly covers interworld travel, commerce and defense, and stays out of intraworld affairs except by invitation, or charter appeals and enforcement. As well as external interstellar diplomacy.

Common Renaming
A common alteration is the change of the name "Confederation" to simply "Federation." Where this takes place, it is not uncommon for authors to refer to technology based upon that found in the Star Trek universe. Kayla is an example of such a story, in particular chapters such as Destiny's Meeting.
