EVE New Citizens Q&A

The Amarr Empire is ruled by an Empress (at present). Her predecessor was indeed assassinated by the Drifters. A new Emperor/Empress is selected from one of the Heirs, each being the head of a specific family entitled to put themselves forward for selection. These each choose champions from among capsuleers, and these champions fight it out, the winner putting their patron onto the throne, and the losing Heirs having to commit suicide.

The Gallente Federation is a representative democracy, with a president elected every five years, and an elected Senate. Each planet or collections of planets many have differing forms of democracy for their own assemblies. You may imagine the federal level as a kind of fusion between the French Republic and the United States system.

The Caldari State is less a formal state than a political oligarchy made up of huge megacorporations. Not so long ago, it was a fully fascist state that sidelined the megacorporations, but now it's best thought of as a giant Hanseatic League with strong overtones of Japanese corporate governance.

The Minmatar Republic is now a tribal council, somewhat loosely defined as to how this works. The heads of the major tribes meet in council to govern, with a head 'chief' the Sanmatar. They used to be a parliamentary-style republic, but decided this had been imposed on them by their major benefactor, the Federation and rejected the premise as corrupt.

This is an extremely broad-brush summary of a fairly complex lore. You can read up in much more depth in various places that cover the lore, and if really interested, there is an excellent book called Eve Source.

A player cannot become a member of an NPC empire's government. A player also cannot reach a high level of authority/management in an NPC corporation. We players are all just common plebs. The type/style of government for each NCP empire is background decoration as far as players are concerned.

CCP makes all final decisions about what happens to each empire and NPC corp. If you are the type of player who wants to role play, have a look in the Intergalactic Summit sub-forum here, Players who take a strong interest in the background story of Eve discuss it there and some people write fan-fiction about Eve in there as well. From time to time CCP will see something they like and find a way to add it to the official game background, but a player cannot be a member of any NPC empire's government, or run an NPC corp.

What about diplomatic goverment of Galente?

Creators are boring... once again...

Dare I ask; in what way?

You can go out and say you are the "Undersecretary of on the Federation Representstives." It is that easy.

But if you are wanting to be in a position of "authority" then you are going to have to rally other players, not NPCs, to you and your will.

This is a multiplayer game after all.

There was a huge event of player versus player trials that decided the royal family of Tash-Murkon's house was going to be the next Empress. She's Caitiz Tash-Murkon I, and there's loads of lore about her, her house, family, region, etc.

I loiter in the #lore part of the tweetfleet slack and CCP Falcon and friends were sort of teasing how 2020 (irl year) is the next election for the head of the Minmatar Republic (same as the next US election)

blahh.

We are peasants, because, if some race decided to bring war to an end, and almost have killed all the other races, Creators would just kill the guy who started the Rebellion.

I hatell Hello Kitty.

Indeed.

I am probably indirectly responsible for many, many blown up ships due to the newbies I have encouraged into (and helped become good at) PVP.
