| History: |
In the year 2042, the world dissolved into chaos and war. Slowly, certain groups were beginning to take power, but the reach of any one faction rarely expanded past one city. Four major cities decided to join into a Union, the Franco-Prussian Union, under a Prince, for stability: Paris, Marseilles, Munich, and Berlin. Each of these is one of the 4 regions of Franco-Prussia, and they are all connected by railway. No one railway directly takes you from one region to another. Instead, all the railways converge at one point near modern-day Luxembourg. At any one point on the railway (excluding the point where they all converge, which is a very complicated junction), there are 10 tracks: 3 for transportation, 1 for military stuff, and 6 transporting goods. Along the tracks, every 50 metres (~164 feet), there is a guard tower, with 3 guards per tower (they stay and live there for 2 years, as part of something every soldier joining the military must do after basic training). Aside from that, there are some towns along the way, where the trains can, if necessary, stop for repairs, supplies, or drop people off/pick people up there. The residents of these towns are typically the very poor, and get no voice in government. This makes living in these towns undesirable but cheap. Occasionally the towns might rebel, sabotage the railway lines, damage a train, and hold hostage/kill its passengers (or destroy/steel its good if it is not a passenger train), but this is rare. The government works as follows: each region gets 3 representatives in the senate, for a total of 12 senators. Each senator is either a senator of Military Affairs, Internal affairs, or Foreign Affairs. Each region elects one of each (in 3 separate elections). A senator can only propose a bill if it is in their field. Any senator or the Prince can accuse a senator of proposing a bill that isn't in their field, or of any other fraudulent activity. If this happens, then at least 8 senators and the Prince have to vote Yea for the accused senator to be guilty; depending on the offence, the guilty senator could be punished with anything from a warning to imprisonment. Though a senator can only propose a bill in their field, the bill is voted on by all 12 senators. The bill needs a majority to pass. In the event of a tie, the Prince is the tiebreaker. Duties of Senators of different fields are below.
