Ether's Government, first established in 235 a.d.
The Government was created after the Great Debate in order to allow a party to maintain order in Ether. At the time, humanity was still struggling and was in need of proper command in order to be effective.
As part of the agreement proposed and accepted in the Great Debate, the government party was required to have another election every five years. This was simply to avoid any single corrupted party from having control for too long a period of time.
5880 years later, 1176 elections later, there was to be another election.
~The Capital, 6115 a.d. Day 149~
Inside the Capital, there is a building for the current Governing party in power. They were a relatively new party, having only been governing for about ten years. Meaning, they had won the two previous elections. However, in these tough times, they face yet another problem at their door.
