Grindoligarch: Difference between revisions

Grindoligarch, under the rule of the GAP, is a Societally Technocratic, Totalitarian, Police/Corporate state. The GAP controls all industry, imports, exports, and every aspect of day to day life. All citizens undergo state-mandated education during which they are subject to psychological evaluation and skill cultivation to then be assigned to a job in the society based on where they are believed to be most efficient to the state, as mandated by the Skill and Psychological Development Department (SPDD)- headed by Marie Federova. All trading vessels coming into Grindoligarchian waters or docking/trading must have the proper paperwork and authorization as provided by the Secure International Trading Department (SITD) which must first negotiate with the nation of origin a trading agreement- headed by Lukas Simons. The current international representative of the GAP and thus for Grindoligarch is Mikhail Volkov who acts as the figurehead for Grindoligarch in times of high ranking international meetings.

The state also has strict social classes: Those who are deemed as unskilled or untrustworthy/unstable in loyalty are assigned to low labor or risk jobs (mining, forestry, infrastructure, etc). Those deemed with specific skills and sufficient psychological tuning are put in fields where they are best suited and have their education geared towards the job that they show proficiency in (research, arts, engineering, management, etc). Finally, all citizens deemed as fully loyal to the state are placed into military training in order to act as police to keep the peace, traders or staff for international endeavors, transportation of goods, and the defense of the nation- military personnel showing promise being brought into the GBOC and following that potentially into the GAP or as an ambassador. The GAP is centered in Kalistad, which apart from the military-controlled trading ports is the only place where international representatives or citizens are permitted to be (assuming the correct paperwork is in order). Citizens deemed as disloyal, incapable, or undesirable are revoked of their status as a "person" and are utilized wherever deemed useful with no mind taken for the individuals. All citizens with the status of a person are paid a more than livable wage as in the eyes of the state it is best for the efficiency of the nation, keeping the loyal happy and working. Seeing as all industry is under the control of the state, the citizenry is paid with Citizen Grindoligarchian Marks which have no value outside of the nation as to not require an investment of international currency to keep the citizens working. Failure to be able to work does not imply any social benefits, though to the capable and to the loyal life is comfortable so long as they do their job.
