FAS

The Federation of Allied States is comprised of two major Light Regions, Lasnadokah, Lidasa West, plus a large number of Highway Nodes. The reference to "Allied States" refers to the cities of each Light Region, not to the regions themselves, oweing back to the ancient governments where each city was a separate, sovereign state (only Two Edged currently maintains this organization).

Government
The FAS is governed by a checks and balances system of three executive leaders, plus a parliment of elected representatives. The three executives each represent a different facet of government.


 * The President is the head of political action in the federation. The office is responsible for forming a budget for all public spending and has the power to propose and veto laws to the parliment.
 * The Executive General is the head of all military forces. In times of emergency, control of police forces also fall under the control of the Executive General.
 * The Minister of Commerce oversees domestic markets. Interest rates and taxes on businesses are ultimately monintored by this office. The office seeks to moderate the economy and keep it stable.
