Ikaanos colony, the Mastersphere orbiting above it, and the autonomous city states of Lake City and New Tokyo around Prometheus Lake, are together constituted as a Republic, declared by Chancellor Mordecai Adler in 2444. It is governed by a Senate, a reformation of the previous Council, who live on the 5,000 capacity space station, and who appoint a Mayor to manage the colony on the ground, administering through the Town Hall in Ikaanos City.
The Chancellor of the Republic holds ultimate power; his title is High Commander of the Mastersphere, and he controls the elite Ikaanian Marine Corps ("space marines"). Control over the independent-minded ground-dwellers of Ikaanos Colony is reinforced by eight relatively new military forts controlled directly by the feared Space Marines - their presence providing a daily reminder of who is in control.
All noblemen, all factions and all human settlements on Raana are officially declared as subjects of the Republic, expected to pay proper taxes in support of Chancellor Mordecai's holy task: "Spreading humanity's influence beyond the Beryll Mountains".
This is the second Republic in Ikaanos' history, hence is formally known as "The Second Republic". Unlike the first Republic, this one does not allow citizens to vote for their representatives; it is an an oligarchy, controlled by Great Houses, powerful businesses, and religious groups.
Players who wish to increase their standing with the Republic can donate at the Town Hall.
