	The Yatan-Theian war and instability of the subsequent [[Yatan-Theian Federation\|federation]] would lead to a mass wave of human immigration from Yata and its' colonies during the 470s. This would grow the human population from the tens of thousands into the high millions, creating a political crisis within the Planetary Authority. Upon learning of the war, the Authority declared a state of neutrality and expand it's human settlement zones to permit a number of refugees. However, the scale of immigration would quickly overwhelm the Southern Prarean government and create a state of emergency across the planet. Scrambling for a solution, the senate would pass the 475 Refugee Protection Act, creating the [[Greater Naveux Exclusion Zone]], greatly increasing the space for human settlement. The act was highly controversial as the Exclusion Zone included a number of historical and highly-populated Usodine settlements, most notably Prareus itself. Many nationalist Usodines would leave the Exclusion Zone and settle in regions like Sokoria, creating a significant ultranationalist movement.

	The Greater Qelian Commonwealth, often referred to as the '''Commonwealth''', is the largest and only transcontinental state on the planet, and is the recognised planetary government by the Yatan-Theian Accord. It is a federalised parliamentary republic host to the majority of Qel's population and a representative democracy, comprising of a number of elected councils across the regions of the planet alongside a national assembly. It has an autarkic economy and access to abundant natural wealth. Councils have the responsibility to manage the services of their given regions, including (but not limited to) education, infrastructure, healthcare, and law. The National Assembly is comprised of representatives from each elected council and has executive authority over foreign policy, trade, military, finances, and other affairs of state.

Line 142:		Line 142:
	\|4		\|4
	\|}		\|}
			Per the constitution, elections to the National Assembly are held every five years.

			==== Ministry of Foreign Affairs ====
			The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established as part of the 533 Constitution and is managed by the leading party's State Councillor. Its' main office is located in the capital, though there are a number of departments spread across the continents. The Commonwealth has declared a policy of permanent neutrality in offensive conflicts, therefore much of its' foreign policy is focused on maintaining good relations with surrounding organisations. This policy has led to Qel being host to the embassies of the Naveux Republic and the Yatan-Theian Accord. State Councillors also have access to an office on [[Unity Station]] and act as the planet's representatives in Accord politics.

			==== Ministry of Trade and Economics ====
			As a result of the previously small size of the Ministry of Trade, it was merged with the Ministry of Economics in 534. The combined ministry, managed by the leading party's Councillor-Treasurer, is responsible for the implementation and adjustment of the Commonwealth's economic policies. Most prominently, it was the leading department responsible for the rebuilding of the nation's economy after the Civil War, enacting currency reform and creating the new National Bank. It is also responsible for the maintaining of good trade relations with the breakaway states on the Daqaran continent - particularly Sokoria, which possesses the majority of Qel's logging industries.

			==== Ministry of Defence ====
			Also established in 533, the Ministry of Defence has the responsibility of maintaining the [[Qelian People's Army]] (QPA) and its' reserves. It also has the purpose of implementing the defensive policy set out by the Commonwealth and acts as the headquarters of the QPA, located just outside the nation's capital. The department is led by the leading government's Representative for National Defence. Currently, government defence policy is focused on 'armed neutrality', meaning the Ministry must maintain a large number of reserve soldiers in case of future conflict, especially considering the planetary and galactic tensions of the 500s. Qel's standing army is quite small, numbering at less than 100,000, but its' reserves number in the millions.

			==== Ministry of Science and Space Travel ====
			The fifth (though now fourth with the merger of Trade and Economics) and final ministry to be established in the 533 Constitution was the Ministry of Science and Space Travel. Led by the Representative for Technologies, the Ministry manages the development and encouragement of scientific advances within the institutions of Qel. Furthermore, it is also responsible for the space and [[FTL Travel\|FTL]] technologies being developed in conjunction with the Naveux Republic. It is the largest and most-funded ministry in the Commonwealth government, with the First-Ministers of the Social Action Party emphasising an urgency to 'align the planet with the technologies of those who surround us'.

			==== Ministry of Education ====
			Established in 537 after the First Constitutional Revision, the Ministry of Education inherited some of the responsibilities previously given to the local Councils. Led by the Representative for Education, the Ministry would undertake momentous reforms during the late 530s to bring the education systems across the two continents closer together. Most notably, the first National Curriculum of Qel would be published in 539 and enacted in 540 across every authority in the Commonwealth. The Ministry is otherwise responsible for the maintaining of Qel's schools, higher education and child services. It is the second-largest government department on the planet.

			=== Regional ===
			20 councils make up the regional governments of Qel. Whilst subservient to the National Assembly, the councils hold authority over the distribution of funding to their local services and how they develop their towns and culture (this excludes education, which is managed by the Commonwealth's Ministry of Education). Councils are free to hold local elections when they see fit, to a minimum of at least once every four years. Each region has a different number of councils, based on population density:

			* '''Prareus''' is split into three councils
			* '''Egoros''' is split into five councils
			* '''North Sokoria''' is split into three councils
			* '''Aphora''' is split into five councils
			* '''North Rydel''' is split into four councils

			Authorities are typically comprised of councillors representing the political parties of the National Assembly. The '''SAP-FM''' coalition hold the most offices at 12, whilst the '''QFP''' hold the least at only 1 (the closest to the South Sokorian border)

	Originating from the Naveux Exclusion Zone granted by the Planetary Authority to Yatan refugees, the Naveux Republic is a democratic, predominantly-human breakaway state formed in the aftermath of the Qelian Civil War. It contains the majority of the human population of Qel, though it is also host to other immigrated species and some Usodine natives. Unofficially, it also hosts the exiles of the Unitary Government in the form of an insurgency movement, though Naveux officials claim they are unaware of it. The Naveux Republic lacks any significant military or political force, but possession of Yatan technology makes it's existence beneficial to the Commonwealth for the purposes of trade and space exploration. This is evidenced by the [[Naveux Compromise]] of 540 that established non-aggression between itself and the Commonwealth in exchange for research cooperation. Moreover, an agreement was also made that the Naveux government would received reduced funding from the Commonwealth with the intention of creating a self-sustaining economy. With a population of approximately 50 million, it is governed by a Senate of 450 seats.
