With the growth of population, the planets are granted additional seats in the Parliament, 1 for every 2,500 citizens (Numbers may change after game launch). The Parliament also makes laws that are valid for the entire nation and decide together with the leader and ministers on the future course of the nation. The Parliament will meet at least once a month. The Planetary Parliaments are made up of at least one representative from each Region and one from each City that exceeds 500 citizens.

The Parliaments will be able to choose their meeting cycle, recommended is once a month, the elections are held once a year. Ministries The Ministries are the Administration of the Nation and are operating on all administrative levels. The only administrative level that will have all ministries, is the National Level. Depending on the tasks of the ministries, they will have branches in the various administrative levels. Tasks that have the ministries, for example, are: Nomination of judges and ambassadors, operating Stargates owned by the government, city and infrastructural planning, tax collection and distribution, i.e. the everyday tasks. Ministries that are likely to arise are: Ministry of Economy Ministry of Finance Ministry of Trade Ministry of Justice Ministry of Internal Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ministry of Exploration Ministry of Expansion and Colonization Ministry of Research and Development Ministry of Military Ministry of Defense Each Ministry will be led by a Minister, chosen by the Leader and approved by the National Parliament, the Minister will choose a Second-in-command.

The Military Council is in charge of all military facilities, including the Military Intelligence Service and the Military Academy. The Council also makes laws which only apply to the Military and provides the judges for the Military Court. A majority vote of at least 75% in the National Parliament is automatically a superior order and the military has to follow this order, neither the Leader nor the Supreme Commander can revoke this order. Supreme Commander The Supreme Commander has in great military decisions, like war and peace, equal power to the Leader, but in the overall military structure he is superior to the Leader. The Successor of the Supreme Commander is elected by the Military Council and must be acknowledged by the National Parliament, when this not happens the election is held again. Candidates for this position can be proposed by the Leader, the retiring Supreme Commander and the Military Council.

Economy The Economy of the Terran Union will mainly be consisting of private ruled companies, but there will also be government ruled facilities, such as shipyards and trade posts. Companies Be a Company in the Union (means the headquarters will be on TU territory) Your Company will be part of the Union and it would be gladly seen if your employees would also be Citizens of the Union. The Company will follow the law, pay taxes and sometimes the company will be offered contracts by the government (conditions in Gameplay/PvE/Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering). Military contracts are mostly given to companies that are within the Union. Your company will be allowed to have contracts with other factions and even branches in other faction’s territory, you can also call for help by the TU, be it diplomatically help to establish trade routes or military help to defend your property. Companies in the Union: Be a Company that works with the Union (means the headquarters will not be on TU territory) You will be an independent company and the company and their employees can make whatever they want. If you want to work with us you can ask for a contract or we offer you one, we will also search for friendly relations and offer to establish branches or mining rights in our territory. You will have no rights to call for help by the TU, but any kind of help can be part of a contract. Companies with a friendly relation to the Union: (having a branch/multiple branches in TU territory) SilverLight Industries Chromion Industrial Companies that are currently working with the Union: Vulture Corporation (Relation will probably change with time) National Bank Banks are important facilities in the economy, so the Union will provide a National Bank, that will offer following services: Rentable Safes The protection of your valuables is an important task, so the National bank is offering safes for a small fee. Here you can store whatever you want and it will be under the protection of the government. Loans The National Bank will offer loans for Citizens and Companies in the Union. Markets Basic Markets An item market for the everyday needs. Established in cities exceeding 50 Citizens. Advanced Markets An item market for advanced elements and materials. Established in cities exceeding 200 Citizens. Capital Markets A market for everything your heart desires. Only established in planetary and regional capitals. Ship market included. Will have Government Trader. Orbital Markets A market for everything and in huge amounts. One per planet. Ship market included. Will have Government Trader. Society Libraries Public Libraries We will have public libraries, where all the unclassified knowledge, exploration data and recipes, that are gathered by the Union, will be stored for the access of the Citizens. Government Library This Library will be containing all the information that are be considered as classified by the government. Including recipes/blueprints for weapons of mass destruction, blueprints for military ships, locations of important/very valuable resources and so on. Access to this information’s are only granted to employees of the government with corresponding release level. Schools Public Schools We will have public schools accessible by Citizens of the Union. Here you can learn a profession of your choice. Experienced players will teach you what is important for your chosen profession, providing recipes and blueprints and will help you to increase your skills to a certain degree. Government Schools We will have schools accessible only by employees of the government. Here is the choice of profession more specific and more challenging. Experienced employees will teach you what is important for your chosen profession, providing recipes, blueprints and resources and will help you to increase your skills to a degree of your liking. New Employees of the Administration will be also trained here. They are taught how the government works, what their duties and if necessary the handling of tools outside of the game, for example Excel. Military Academy Here will be trained the military personal in courses such as, basic training, advanced tactics, fleet maneuver or advanced officer training. News Public Service Announcements We will provide Public Service Announcements for each administrative level, in our forum (once it is released) and on in game bulletin-boards. Newspaper We will provide a nation-wide newspaper, published by opinion independent journalists (I hope this makes sense, what I mean is that they will get a salary from the government, but they will be free to write whatever they want, would I write “opinion-free” it would probably indicate the exact opposite. Terminology is really difficult please help me someone with this). About what the newspaper will report, will depend on the news priority for the nation. It is also possible that there will be more local-oriented newspapers. Newscast We will provide a Newscast with the most important news regarding the Union and the galaxy, such as wars, peace treaties, politics (mostly TU but also galaxy), government decisions, new colonies and sometimes a bit propaganda for example the completion of a new TU Capital ship. The newscast will be provided via YouTube and in game functions. Gameplay PvE Exploration We will finance exploration missions of different sizes, reaching from single ship missions, to long journey convoys with multiple ships. The only we are asking for is, to share your data and discoveries first with us, before you sell it to others. Mining We will offer regular trips to different mining locations, including a military escort. Depending on where the location is, how valuable are the mineable resources and how often the trip is made, the size of the convoy will reach from just a few, to dozens of ships with hundreds of players. But we require for the protection we provide 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of the resources which you have mined. We will also have continuous mining missions with Motherships or Stations, of course also under the protection of our Military. If you're a freelancer, you can mine in the region where the mission is and give us 10% (5% for citizens of the TU) of your mined resources or we could buy the resources but for a slightly cheaper price as on the free market. If you're a Newbie or just need some cash, we offer salaries to mine for us and you can decide if you prefer your own ship to mine with or if you want to borrow a ship from us for free. (this will probably be limited due to the limited space on board the motherships and stations) Building | Designing | Scripting | Engineering We will offer different contracts to make something for us, that could be a Script, a Design Concept, a Mechanical Contraption, a Ship, a Building, a Megaproject or just a simple beautification of a city. The contracts are split in 3 main categories: 1. Employee-Contract: We'll pay you a salary and providing the resources for the work, to which we assign you. 2. Freelancer-Contract: We'll pay you a fixed amount and provide or pay for the used materials. 3. Company-Contract: These contracts are awarded only to companies and will be negotiated. After the completion of the contracts, the created blueprints are passed to the Terran Union. Trade | Transportation We will regular offer escorts to trade posts that are far away from the TU Territory. To participate, a fixed price is estimated, depending on the duration and dangerousness of the journey. We will also offer missions and long-term contracts, to transport goods and people for us. Science We will offer positions in our research facilities for scientists and engineers who are more in development than maintenance. As an employed researcher you are free in your choice of research, but sometimes you will get requests, which you can reject, but consider your reputation. In case of war, a rejected request can lead to a dismissal, depending on the importance of the request and your current research. This will be an employment; you will get a salary but your discoveries will belong to the Union. We will also offer Freelancer and Company-Contracts, if we need some specific tech to be researched fast. Maintenance We will have a lot of civilian buildings, ships and stations and they must be maintained. If you considering such work, we will offer you an employment and a salary. Other As the development of the game is progressing, there will be probably other career branches and as soon as we know it we will offer employments, contracts and missions. PvP Mercenaries We will offer missions and contracts to people who don't want to join the military, but be prepared this work will be dirty and probably more on the unofficial side of things. Events We will organize different kinds of competitions, for example building competitions in various classes reaching from art, to fighters, and we will probably have dog fights. We are open for suggestions. Interplanetary Tournaments Once a year we will organize a great national tournament, where every citizen of the Union can show his skills. The participants will compete in various disciplines, such as building, dog fight, racing, strategy, and so on. The tournament will start in the cities and every citizen can register there. The winner on city level will then compete on the regional level, the winner of this are going on the planetary level and after this we will have the grand final on the national level. General/Social/RP Holiday Events We will try to organize Events timed and themed to real-life holidays and we will try to get other factions and maybe even the devs on board for this. Roleplaying RP is welcome but not necessary. We will try to create events and special areas for roleplaying and we look forward to receive ideas and suggestions from you. Joining the Union Warning If you want a position as high ranking official (Minister, Parliament representative, General and Admiral) you should be aware that this means a lot of work for you and you will probably receive phone calls in the middle of the night, because of some catastrophe or enemy attack. If you want to be a member of the administration, you should be aware that this means work and you should have some skills in office software. Even after you finished your work you will be a contact person for the citizens of the TU. If you want a position in the military, you should be aware that this means discipline and to follow orders. If an officer ordering you to jump, you will jump and not ask why. You will us also tell fixed times in which you are online and at least half this time you are on duty; in the other half you can do what you want. Next topic is that you've committed yourself, just leaving is desert and will have consequences, but you aren't bound forever. The Contract will have a runtime of 3 months, 10 deaths on duty or 50 dead enemies. I know this whole thing sounds not really good, but here is the good part, you will get a very generous salary and we will take good care of you. The above mentioned jobs are 18+ exceptions considered on case by case basis. Ranks (currently available. with time it will be more | To pay taxes and to follow the law, are duties for all ranks) Citizen: Your only duties are to pay taxes and to follow the law, otherwise your freedom is boundless and well protected by military and law enforcement. Government employed: You are an employee of the faction and as such you get a salary and you have in some cases access to the resources of the faction, but your work will belong to the faction. Soldier: Pretty good description above in the warning. Who we accept We are a Nation we accept all as long as they follow the law. How to join If you want to join, simply leave a post that says that you wanna join and we will contact you.

The Terran Union isn’t related to any other Terran Union outside of Dual Universe. Version 3.4.5

You've Been There. You've seen the sun set on the desert and heard the sounds of mortars and rocket shells in the night. You know the taste of sand on an MRE.

The 47th Legion is a military themed, North American based player association. The 47th engages in a wide variety of in-game activities to include PvE, PvP, crafting/trading, exploration, and colonization. The 47th prides itself on professionalism and esprit de corps which are our core principles. We hold our Legionaries to a high standard and prohibit any and all types of exploiting and cheating. Teamwork and collective effort are mantras the 47th Legion lives by. We explore in a squad, move in a squad, and we all do what we can to contribute to the Legion. Our Legionaries provide materials for the crafters who in turn provide gear back to the Legionaries. If you like to go and do things your own way, then the 47th isn't for you. Remember, if you are looking for an active, organized, fun, and professional guild, then you've found it in the 47th Legion! While the 47th is military themed with great interest in PvP our ultimate goal is the creation of our own castrum (fort) and the creation of a multi-national alliance, if not full society, all with a very heavy emphasis on mechanized combat. Tanks, APCs, mechs, exoskeletons, powered armor, fighters, bombers, capital ships, et cetera. It's the future, baby, let's roll with tech on our side! The various play-styles would rank in Legion-wide interest as such: PvP: ►►►►►►► The 47th will be heavily engaged in PvP and it will be one of our primary activities. PvE: ►►► We can't PvP all of the time so while PvE doesn't take priority it's obviously going to be an important activity. Colonization: ►►►►►► This our primary motivating factor above all else and will be heavily facilitated by our PvP and exploration play. Construction: ►►►►► A combat unit is only as strong as it's supply chain. The 47th Legion features a robust crafting infrastructure on our website centered around a functioning supply section which gives our crafters the ability to quickly advertise items and our Legionaries the ability to easily request them! No other nation offers infrastructure like this! Exploration: ►►►►►►► This will be a cornerstone that will heavily influence city building and PvP. Scouts definitely have a place in our Legion. Socialization: ►►► We like people! Someone has to run those shady bars just off post where our Legionaries will relax in their downtime. We have big plans for building an alliance and a cities so diplomats will be needed. We strive to provide our Legionaries with a semi-realistic military simulation environment. This involves some light roleplaying elements but our rank structure, personal awards, training exercises, and camaraderie constitute the bulk of the atmosphere. Additionally, the 47th recognizes the contributions our Legionaries make to the unit. Whether it's something as simple as creating some artwork, recruiting friends into the unit, or capturing a ship single-handedly we have a plethora of rewards to publicly honor our Legionaries with. Our legionaries proudly display their ribbons in a display case on their profiles. If you'd like to learn more about our awards system you can view them and their descriptions here. Professionally built website and forum based on IPS Community Suite; Image galleries, downloads, blogging, and social media support; Unit supply section; Discord VOIP service; Unique rank structure and awards systems; Weekly scheduled operations; Personalized 47th Legion e-mail accounts; Dual Universe newswire service; and Real military leadership and experience. Must be at Least 19 years of age (exceptions considered on case by case basis); Willingness to engage in PvP; Willingness to casually roleplay; and All alternate characters must be tagged with the unit. The 47th was originally established in 2007 as an offshoot of a Star Wars Galaxies guild from the Chilastra server. By the time of the NGE a lot of interest in SWG had been permanently lost. A deployment or two later I became highly interested in Tabula Rasa and chose to start my own player organization for the game with a few SWG guildmates which came to be known as the 47th A.F.S. Expeditionary Force, or 47th A.F.S.E.F.. Around the time of TR's closure Earthrise caught the 47th's interest. We waited for Earthrise for over three years and were finally able to step foot on Enterran soil at game launch. Unfortunately Earthrise was plagued with launch issues, lacked basic and rudimentary features, had an extremely unoptimized client which ran very poorly, had a small community, and incredibly slow patch releases. In June of 2011 we decided to quit Earthrise. Moving on from there we briefly dabbled in Star Wars: The Old Republic though in the end the game was simply the antithesis in design of everything we actually enjoy in an MMO. A few months later we started following the development of the Trion Worlds and SyFy collaboration known as Defiance. We greatly enjoyed the game and show and quickly rose to being the most dominant guild on the PC platform. Unfortunately, Trion World's interest in future development of the title quickly waned and the game is all but abandon-ware at this point. After exiting Defiance we've focused mainly on multiplayer sandboxes such as Empyrion: Galactic Survival, Space Engineers, Miscreated, DayZ, Ark: Survival Evolved, RUST, and various ArmA 3 mods over MMOs. The 47th is an excellent environment for current and past members of the armed forces. Many of our Legionaries are prior service (I personally served in the U.S. Army for seven years as a 19D Cavalry Scout: FIRST TEAM!) and enjoy being around other prior service Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines; we welcome and encourage you to join! At present we are currently gathering intelligence and planning the best path through the game to achieve our goals as quickly as we can after launch. All recruits who enlist prior to the launch of Dual Universe will be entered into our NCO Development program upon completion of their Battle Readiness Checklist. Additionally, all Legionaries who successfully recruit another member into the 47th will be automatically promoted up to and including the rank of Miles Gregarius [E3]. The 47th currently has Legionaries deployed in many titles as we await the launch of Dual Universe. We are currently officially supporting Empyrion: Galactic Survival, Star Citizen, Rust, and Osiris: New Dawn. We also have dedicated ARK and Space Engineer servers. Why wait months to play with an organization when you can join us online right now?
