Trans-Solar Federation
Introduction
The Trans-Solar Federation is a government formed from the fallout of Earth. When most countries collapsed and hope to travel the stars was nearly extinguished, they rose and united humanity under that vision once more, through force and conquest. Still, under the TSF humanity managed to finally break from the confinement of their solar system and into the wider galaxy. For better or worse.
History
Founded in the aftermath of the Second Great Space Race and the Eastern Seas War, when the world was shattered and the idea of globalization was nearly a corpse. Through technological and military superiority, the remaining nations of the world were unified, and the Trans-Solar Federation set its sights on the galaxy at large. While barely able to maintain colonies in their local star system at this point, they worse their ambitions proudly in their name, and indeed they eventually lived up to that name.
In the 22nd century, the Trans-Solar Federation made contact with extraterrestrial life for the first time, and made their first ally of the Skrellian Central Authority. Fifty years later this alliance would drag the TSF into their first real war, aiding their Skrell allies against the Kidan. This war lasted from 2155 to 2160, ending in the total devastation of the Kidan homeworld of Aurum.
The following centuries saw a great deal of expansion, as the Trans-Solar Federation met more and more space-faring peoples and governments. Some became allies, others became member-states, and the TSF could finally say that it lived up to the second half of its name.
Despite setbacks, unexpected discoveries, and a literally endless amount of trouble from the Megacorporations and foreign parties alike, the Trans-Solar Federation has persisted into the modern 26th century, only slightly worse for wear. It's largest rivals are familiar to it; The Skrellian Central Authority with whom they have a mostly friendly rivalry, and The Union of Soviet Socialist Planets that violently splintered off from the Trans-Solar Federation to forge a new more communist state.

Government Organization
The Trans-Solar Federation is a large and somewhat unwieldy thing. Even aided by FTL travel utilizing RGBspace, physical travel and the transfer of information is still far from instant, necessitating a degree of decentralization. This decentralization often comes from the individual pieces of the Trans-Solar Federation however, with oversight from the top still being an integral part of how the government functions. Great autonomy is given to the lower levels of each piece, leading to more flexibility and rapid responses, and corruption.
Executive Branch
President of the Trans-Solar Federation: The President is the executive leader of the Trans-Solar Federation. They are elected for 8 year terms and may serve up to 3 terms, however they may not serve their terms back-to-back.
Vice President of the Trans-Solar Federation: The Vice President is always whoever came in second during the Presidential Election, is elected for 8 year terms, and may serve any number of terms with no restrictions.
The Cabinet of Ministers: Composed of the chosen Ministers of every major Ministry, appointed from amongst themselves with final approval of the President.
High Council of Sol: Membership of the High Council of Sol is very exclusive, and usually reserved for extremely prominent powers due to the fact that their appointment can be challenged by the Senate, the President, and the Highest Court of Judiciaries. This has kept the Council lean and restricted, with members almost never departing alive. They hold authority over the Sol System- the heart of the TSF, and act as the head of the TSF should the President fall or be found incapable. In times of war, they are often elevated to a War Council under the President, and it is uncommon for the Minister of Defense or the Chief Admiral of the Trans-Solar Navy to not hold a seat on the High Council.
Legislative Branch
The Solar Senate: Vested with authority to approve law and bills. Senators are elected to their position, with every Sector of TSF space having 3 Senators. The Head of the Senate is always the Vice-President.
The House of Federal Affairs: A house of Representatives filled only by elected Federal Representatives of every Trans-Solar Federation world. They are vested with the authority to draft, write, and submit laws and bills to the Solar Senate. They give voice to those who are actual citizens of the TSF.
The Cabinet of Representatives: A house of Representatives filled by chosen Cabinet Representatives of every Trans-Solar Federation ally or vassal state. This includes some elevated Corporate Representatives. They act as advisors to the House of Federal Affairs and may elect 3 Speakers to represent themselves in the House at their discretion. They give voice to those who are allied with or are greatly invested in the TSF.
