Tau Kappa Alliance

The Tau Kappa Alliance (TKA) is the second largest faction in the Blobverse by population, and is the faction currently in control of Zones 2-5, and half of Zone 6.

Government
Abiding by the terms of the Treaty of Year 92 that formed the Tau Kappa Alliance, it runs a representative democracy system.

Every planet and moon in the TKA holds annual elections for representatives to their own planetary government as well as the Galactic Senate. The senate comprises of the upper house, which has 50 members and the power of veto over the lower house with 50% threshold, and the lower house, which has over 1000 members and veto power over the upper house at 67% threshold.

The upper and lower house of the Galactic Senate can nominate and confirm appoints for positions to the Galactic Council. The President of the Galactic Council is the only position not gained through senate appointment, and is instead elected by electoral college procession on the same day as annual senate elections.

The current President of the Galactic Council is Bitch Mac-Donald, who won the office through a controversial electroral college victory.

History
The Tau Kappa Alliance was formed in Year 92 by a peace treaty between the United Tau Federation, Kappa Dynasty, and protectorates of the Kappa Dynasty, including the Tritrion Kingdoms of Zone 3.

The formation of the Tau Kappa Alliance ended a several millennia long interplanetary conflict between the Kappa Dynasty and other powers, known as the Dynastic Wars. The United Tau Federation was a major opponent of the Kappa Dynasty in Years 35-92, and many were worried that another wave of wars would engulf the sector.

A peace treaty was brokered by a joint effort of the No Violence Group and Star Alliance. Aside from the war casualties and economic stagnation, a major motivation for the peace was the ever increasing war debt of the warring parties. The peace allowed for the area to stabalize, war spending to cease, and population and economy to grow.

Demographics
The Tau Kappa Alliance is an incredibly diverse faction, with the majority of its species being Humanoids. Historically, Casters enjoyed a priviledged role in society above that of other species. After the Species Equality Act of Year 94, Subcasts were considered as the same species as Casters, granting them equality in the law. Racism is still rampant in the Tau Kappa cluster, however, and the Year 155 ammendment to the Species Equality Act seems to have escalated rather than alleviate the tension.
