	Sol Common is, ~~shockingly~~, the dominant language of the Alliance across all classes of society. Tau Ceti Basic is commonly available in schools, though it is generally regarded as a second language for Solarians. Tradeband is uncommon outside certain areas such as the Sol System and the Eridani Corporate Federation but, thanks to the economic power of these systems, remains a common language for interstellar trade.

	Though its power has waned following the disastrous events of late 2462, this federal union remains the home of humanity and the one of the premier powers in the Orion Spur. Formerly held back by bureaucratic corruption, administrative inefficiency, an overstretched legal system, systemic political infighting, and economic troubles that led to over a century of decline and waning influence culminating in its retreat inwards, many now look to reform the Alliance into a more effective political force.

	The Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations (ASSN), commonly referred to as the Solarian Alliance, the Sol Alliance, ~~and sometimes~~ the Alliance, is a federal union of 70 member state star systems, and 198 dependencies including the Eridani Corporate Federation. Dependencies vary between undeveloped star systems and outposts on asteroids, to sprawling space stations and include the capital of the Solarian Alliance: the bustling Unity Station in orbit over Earth. The Alliance is divided into two administrative sections known as the Inner and Middle Rings.

	The Solarian Alliance is either the most populated or second most populated in known space, though due to the lack of accurate census-taking in the Coalition of Colonies it is hard to determine. As of its retreat from the Middle and Outer Rings the Alliance has between 40 and 65 billion citizens and roughly 10 billion residents, with the most recent census having been in 2454. Due to mass defection of many Middle and Outer Ring colonies, these census numbers are no longer considered to be accurate. The Alliance's next census will come in 2464 but experts regard its current population as anywhere between fifty and seventy billion individuals. By breadth of controlled territory the Alliance is the largest sovereign state with ~~every ethnicity~~, ~~religion~~, ~~culture~~, and ~~language~~ found ~~somewhere in~~ its borders. Governed at Unity Station in orbit of Earth, hundreds of systems and dozens of member states find representation in the Alliance.

	Also known as the Inner Ring, these colonies lie within five light years of [[Sol]]. These planets are the oldest settlements outside of the Solar System, and have the highest quality of life. It is the most populous of the three rings. Solarians from these systems are in favor of Alliance rule, with much of Unity Station’s policies focusing on these areas. Very few aliens reside in the Inner Ring, with most being skrell. On the other hand all [[IPC]] frames can be found throughout the Inner Ring. Citizens of these areas push the most for expansion of Alliance authority over human areas outside its control.		Also known as the Inner Ring, these colonies lie within five light years of [[Sol]].

	The '''Sol First Party (SFP)''' is the junior party of the coalition government, having made modest gains in the recent elections. It is the continuation of a conservative Solarian tradition dating back centuries. Its leader is Toshiyuki Sumida, a senator from [[Luna]]. It serves as the Alliance-wide representative for conservative parties across the nation, such as the Colettish Republican Unity Party (PUR). Sol First is the oldest party in the Alliance, and the only still-active party to be established before the Interstellar War. The SFP is the third-largest party in the Senate, at 22%.

	The '''Solarian Socialist Unity Party (SSUP)''' is part of the opposition coalition and performed unexpectedly poorly in the elections, lagging behind other parties despite its recent prominence. Its leader is Le Hanh Trang, a senator from [[New Hai Phong]] — the core of the party’s support. Regarded by some as a competitor to the SPDP and the CPASSN, the SSUP formed in the 2450s from defectors of both parties. The party dates back to shortly after the end of the Interstellar War, when the Alliance turned inwards and began to lick its wounds. The SSUP is the fourth-largest party, holding 15% of the Senate.

Its leader is Anastasie Renaud, a senator from [[Callisto]]. The SPDP experienced setbacks as the Alliance shifted to the right in the 2450s, but retained a strong base in the Sol System — something which has benefited it with the Alliance’s shrinking in 2462. It serves as the Alliance-wide representative of many left-leaning parties, such as the Colettish Progressive Party (PPC). The SPDP is the second-largest party in the Senate, holding 28% of seats.

	Commonly known as the '''SANN''', or the Sol News Network, the SANN is the oldest continuous news network in the human Orion Spur. Established in 2127 to serve as a news source for the entire Alliance, it was initially headquartered in Harmony City, [[Luna]], due to the heavily damaged climate of [[Earth]] making the planet difficult to work on. It has since relocated to [[Callisto]]’s New Edinburgh District, where it broadcasts ~~from today~~.

	Perhaps the largest government entity in the entire Spur in terms of employees, the Department of the Interior (DoI) is responsible for ensuring the Alliance’s infrastructure is maintained. It is the single oldest Solarian department as its establishment was a condition for the Alliance’s formation, which ensures it is as old as the Alliance is. The DoI’s duties have gradually become more and more complex over the centuries, though colonization itself was handled by a separate department until fairly recently, which has led to its immense size and reputation for inefficiency and corruption, particularly in the Outer and Middle Rings after the Interstellar War. The War devastated the Alliance’s infrastructure and the DoI’s budget, which resulted in it neglecting much of the Alliance’s more remote infrastructure throughout the following centuries. Those who did wish for something to be done to their Outer or Middle Ring infrastructure often had to pay costly “consulting fees” to the DoI, which only led to further neglect and growing corruption.

	By the 25th century the DoI had effectively split into two major sections, the Outer and Core sections, in addition to subordinate departments such as the Department of Energy — responsible for fuel production and management — and the Department of Education — responsible for Solarian education outside of private schools. The Core Section served the Inner Ring, and some sections of the Middle Ring, continuing the DoI’s reputation for excellence in these regions while remaining untangled from the Navy and other elements. The Outer Section, due to lacking the wealth, influence, or manpower of its counterpart, had the Middle and Outer Ring regions it was responsible for fall into neglect and slowly become more and more corrupt. Navy actors in the Outer Section’s areas of responsibility often dominated and bent the Section to their will, further eroding its effectiveness while increasing corruption. [[Sol Alliance History# 2460-61: Michael Frost Ascends to Power\|Frost’s administration]] fired many of the Outer Section’s more qualified personnel when they protested some of his decisions and instead replaced them with loyalist flunkies, which only exacerbated the Section’s corruption problems and contributed significantly to the territorial losses of late 2463.

	By the mid-2400s the Department of Justice had found itself tested by decades of ATLAS-aligned governments which had sought to erode its authority while corrupting the Department at all possible levels, but it remained mostly independent and uncorrupted until the election of Michael Frost in 2460-61, when ATLAS finally gained a supermajority in the Solarian government. Frost’s regime furloughed or sacked much of the DoJ and replaced those it fired with loyalists. The followers of Prime Minister Frost now found themselves effectively insulated from the threat of investigation and prosecution by authorities in the Alliance. Corruption began to grow unchecked and public trust in the government sharply dropped. Ironically, many corrupt officials put into place by ATLAS and Frost readily defected to Biesel during the Solarian Collapse of 2462 despite their professed loyalty to ATLAS and Sol. Some have speculated this is due to bribes, and these individuals being more loyal to Credits than country.

The DoI is heavily involved in both [[Solarian Reconstruction Mandates]] and has promised to avoid the mistakes of its prior staff in these areas.

	The current head of the Department of Justice is '''Attorney General Henri Fontenot'''. Born on 24 May, 2413, in New Orleans, [[Earth]], Fontenot rose to prominence as a stringent and incorruptible prosecutor who fought against corruption in the Solarian government’s Outer Ring. Recalled to the Sol System by Frost’s government in the summer of 2462, presumably to be punished for his role in dismantling an ATLAS-led voting machine, Fontenot’s fortunes were rapidly reversed by the coup against Frost and he has since found himself the Alliance’s Attorney General. During his tenure as AG Fontenot has continued his crusade against corruption and now finds himself leading the Alliance’s tribunals of criminals in the Northern Reaches.

Employees of the Solarian Department of State are members of the Solarian Foreign Service — a government organization with an infamously difficult entry exam which requires the applicant to be at least trilingual.

	In the post-Frost era the Department finds itself scrambling to reassert Sol’s position in the broader Spur after a decade of diplomatic neglect and the devastating Solarian Civil War of 2462-65. Its officers are incredibly busy crisscrossing the Spur, from [[Assunzione]] to [[Moroz]] to [[Biesel]], to once again represent what seems to be an ascendant Alliance after two-hundred years of decay. Whether they can keep the Alliance’s foreign diplomacy remains to be seen, particularly with it now once again sharing a border with the Coalition.

	What remains of the Department after the [[Sol Alliance History#2462: The Solarian Civil War\|Solarian Collapse]] is the best and brightest of its bloated staff: the Core Worlds Division. The Core Division is responsible for many of humanity’s oldest fiscal institutions and is notably less corrupt and more efficient than its counterparts due to managing space near Unity Station and the Sol System. With the collapse of Frost’s government and the subsequent anti-Frost coup by reformists it now finds itself the only division of the Department of Commerce, and has been given the monumental task of rebuilding it. To the frustration of some Department members the Solarian Corporate Authority (SCA) has been allowed to operate without any oversight from the Department of Commerce, with the Solarian government consistently stating the SCA is far too important to be restrained by checks and balances on its actions. For the moment, the SCA answers directly to the Prime Minister’s office and completely bypasses any other authorities.

	The Solarian Department of Defense (DoD) is an entity with a long history of success, failure, and cronyism. Headquartered in Harmony City, [[Luna]], the Department is responsible for ensuring the [[Solarian Armed Forces]] — perhaps the largest organized fighting force in the Orion Spur — remain ready for duty and easily able to defeat any who would contest them. The Department is subdivided into the Department of the Army, headquartered on [[Earth]], and the Department of the Navy, headquartered on Luna. The Department has long been another arena of the Solarian Army-Navy rivalry which has defined the SAF since the Interstellar War, and the Navy has historically been the more powerful subdepartment of the Department of Defense.

	The contemporary Department, under Minister '''Lucien Courtois''', a Lunan and reformist naval officer, has done much to improve its efficiency and destroy the remaining loyalists of Frost and ATLAS. Massive purges carried out of Navy and Department staff have allowed it to essentially “clean house” but have left some aspects of the Department shorthanded, particularly as it now moves to assist in the Solarian Reconstruction Mandates and re-exert Solarian influence on the galactic stage. The Department has much work to do, but many — particularly its Minister — are more than willing to do whatever it takes for the Alliance’s military to succeed.

	A now-defunct department which has been integrated into the Department of the Interior, the Department of Colonization was — at its peak in 2259 — the most important part of the Solarian government as it managed colonies and colonization. Its influence stretched from Solarian Core to the [[Sol Alliance History#Historical Solarian Sectors and Regions\|Solarian Frontier]], and it managed the welfare of thousands of worlds ranging in size from the populous [[Xanu Prime]] to refueling stations staffed by under a hundred Solarian citizens. Its personnel could be found nearly anywhere in the Spur, and were renowned for their dedication and efficiency.

	The decline of the once-mighty Department of Colonization began with the [[Sol Alliance History#18 June, 2260: The Second Great Depression Begins\|Second Great Depression]] and was accelerated by the [[Sol Alliance History#25 March, 2278: Outbreak of the Interstellar War\|Interstellar War]]. At the War’s end the Department was a shadow of its former self and unable to carry out any major colonial efforts or expeditions, such as the expedition which eventually would become the nomadic [[Scarabs\|Scarab Fleet]]. Ultimately it was integrated into the Department of the Interior and faded into history as the Alliance became more corrupt and insular, forgetting its hegemonic era and eventually collapsing into civil war in 2462. The Department of Colonization is, for most, a distant memory and a reminder of better times for the Alliance.

	All Together for Lasting Alliance Security, better known as '''ATLAS''', is a disbanded fascist Solarian political party first established by Martian “Blues” — those loyal to the Alliance — after the Interstellar War and Martian civil war. Initially a national conservative party formed to represent loyalist Martians after the New Dresden nuclear incident, ATLAS shifted further to the right following the attempted coup of the Solarian government by the Navy and became the de facto Navy-aligned party in the Senate. Known for its hardline policies on immigration and use of a paramilitary force — known as Artemis (stylized ARTEMIS) — to influence elections. ATLAS reached its zenith during the 2450s, when it used allies in the military, its paramilitaries, and corruption to rig elections and seize power across the Alliance. In 2460 Michael Frost — its most powerful figure — was elected PM in an election called a sham by many outside observers, and ATLAS began to carve up the Alliance into its own domains. The party would fall soon after, undone by the Solarian Civil War and a coup by anti-ATLAS elements, and was declared illegal and forcibly disbanded. Its symbol was a white Solarian sun on a black background, symbolizing its mourning of what the Alliance lost after the Interstellar War.

	The '''Solarian People’s Party (SPP)''' is the largest party in the Alliance after the 2466-67 elections. It ran on a Solarian populist platform and is a “big tent” coalition party with multiple ideologies under its umbrella, ranging from more left-leaning populists to nationalists who were opposed to ATLAS during its regime. Its leader is '''Hendrik Strom''', current prime minister of the Alliance and a V[[Venus#Jintarian Culture\|Venusian Jintarian]], who represents its more center-left traditions, though with anti-corporatist and xenophobic leanings. Representing the right wing of the SPP is Senator '''Erkan Muhtar''', a veteran politician from Luna and prior member of the SFP who holds national conservative views with a populist leaning. The SPP lacks a decisive majority and instead governs through a coalition with the more conservative Sol First Party. It is a recent party, having only been established in the 2450s after its core — including then-Senator Strom — broke with the SDPD, though it peeled some members of the SFP and independent politicians under its wing. The SPP has the largest share of the Senate, at 30%.		The '''Solarian People’s Party (SPP)''' is the largest party in the Alliance after the 2466-67 elections.
