Procyon

Procyon is the United Earth Government within the Vestigo Novo Era timeline. Their original goal was to protect and unite Humanity.  

Structure
Procyon consists of a Council of representatives that would monitor the laws and regulations of Earth, controlled colonies and Sirius. The Council consists of a military official, a lead scientist, a representative of the people, and a foreign affairs diplomat. The rest of the hierarchy functions much like a modern era democracy.

Council

 * The military official is in charge of making sure laws wouldn’t interfere with standard military protocols as well as providing information gathered from the intelligence branch of Sirius. The military official at the council is chosen simply by whom within Sirius holds the highest rank.

'''The lead scientist was set in place during the time of the Green Act and stayed, providing scientific recommendations on certain affairs relating to any research, development, and ecological pursuits. Scientists are publicly voted into position and are then handpicked by the current council to replace the current scientist.

'''A public representative acts as a human rights acts as the moral compass of the council and is often mediating council discussions, they, unfortunately, have little power within the council otherwise. The representatives go through a political campaign to replace the current representative who also runs in the campaign in attempts to keep their position in council.


 * The foreign affairs diplomat is someone who must be willing to take the responsibility of making sure that the laws of the colonies are fully respected which involves frequently traveling from colony to colony. This means that the diplomat is rarely seen at the council table. They hold significant power outside of the council to prevent any regulations such as the Civil War at the turn of the era. The diplomat, strangely enough, is placed into the council via a volunteer process that requires an interview with the current council as well as a strong resume.

History
Before the new Era, Procyon was attempting to reverse the scaring it caused the Earth which was stripped of all of its resources. The council wanted to push the development of a space-dwelling race. As the decades the passed the Earth’s environment worsened forcing an exodus of the Earth’s surface. To ensure the cooperation of the people, Siris was formed. Sirius would lead the first of the shuttles to the awaiting off-world colonies.
