Your Everyday Guide To Calodian Politics

before i can give you the lowest of downs on the shitty political system in place right now and calodian political beliefs and whatnot, you first need to know how it works.

SO:

we do not live in a democracy.

–> calodia has a sort of parliamentary monarchy - where the emperor (ew) is the theoretical and cultural head of state, and the guoshia* actually make state decisions. we don't elect any of these people

-> the only thing we have a say in is the vote for thr dynasty that rules, and that only happens every one hundred years. the last time one happened, i hadn't even hatched! according to certain sources (goirw), the elections are usually rigged towards the favorite of the nobles and aristocracy.

2. the guoshia*

-> formed of the heads of every guild. these guys make actual policy decisions. they approve and ratify the proposals for every single proposal from the guilds. they hold all the power and they're all aelves

3. the guilds.

-> there are five guilds, and every single job in calodia is categorized into one of these guilds. the guilds are: the financiers (ew), the veneratum, the scribes (us!), the artisans, and the smiths.

-> the heads of these guilds are: the judiciary for the financiers, the chief veneratum for the... uh. you know. the bibliographer for the scribes, the master for the artisans and the mechanicier for the smiths.

-> the financiers are the most powerful of all the guilds, and control the courts and treasury. the veneratum study and regulate majic, and are the second most powerful. the scribes control the archives, literature, science and education. the artisans deal with anything cultural and culturally important. the smiths’ domain is in infrastructure, architecture, military and anything to do with making stuff for functional purposes.

-> the financiers influence most decisions, but the artisans and scribes control all depictions, discourses and narratives, so the actual power belongs to them.

-> the guilds are mostly controlled by noble families, and its pretty rare when a non-noble becomes a guildhead. usually though, the guildheads are mostly just figureheads for their families and enact their policies, with intraguild elections being mostly vapid popularity contests.

currently, the emperor is vanyuo iii of the myng dynasty. he's more liberal than previous emperors but he's still dastardly cunt**, so don't trust anyone who backs him wholeheartedly. very creaturist, particularly anti-goblin and anti-orcean but he hates everyone who's not an aelf, honestly. just because he's trying to legalize intercreature marriage doesn't mean he's not endorsing shittier movements.

the judiciary right now is ruong velian. he's probably the the most aelvenist-aligned judiciary we've had in millennia.

the chief veneratum is ceijuing kawaixi. she's basically velian in blue.

the current bibliographer is tenxin tsaanwïa. he's korixe’s uncle or something. he's probably the most liberal of all of the guildheads, but he's also flimsy as fuck. if the rest of the tsaanwïa family (minus korixe because i trust her mostly) pressure him, the tides could always turn.

the master is jelpyng cen. poor poor creature. they're definitely in over their head, and very obviously a puppet for their family.

the mechanicier was elected yesterday, and i’m kinda glad the old one's out of office. the new guy, zheruan xiortun, says he'll put more focus on infrastructure over bolstering the military, which is good because half the roads in wyvera aren't even walkable.

your resident menace,

{translator's notes:

{*this is an untranslatable word but the closest equivalent is parliament or senate, which doesn't really capture the nature of what the guoshia is.

{**this is the closest translation of a goblin vulgarism. even though it does not have the same meaning, it is the only word i could find that was of a similar intensity.

{– loggyn uses a lot of giblex expressions when they write, so much of the slang they seem to be using in this post are approximations of giblexisms that they use frequently. i might write a whole post on their language specifically >:).}

As you grow up, your core family shifts. This is not a bad thing, just the way life happens to go. So many different things can happen too: moving out and back in again, making your own core family, moving far away from the family you grew up with. The list goes on. I found myself back with my parents and my sister and her little family found themselves back in our home town as well. All together. We didn't plan it but we certainly made the most of it. We do this not out of spite or ill will towards others in our family, who are always more than welcome to come home, but we do it because we love each other. I miss not being so close anymore but I know these are still my people 💖

so we are killing our planet (or rather making our planet uninhabitable for human beings and most animals). I know this.

but my question is: why are we so fixated on going into space and either finding another "Goldie Locks Planet" (I don't even know if that's still a term people use) or terraforming and making a planet that's not particularly habitable (aka Mars) habitable, when the ocean is right there?

I mean, a lot of the technology I hear about potentially being used on Mars (or whatever poor planet/moon they talk about) sounds like it would be easily suited for being used in the ocean.

I understand that ocean tech and space tech are completely different ball parks, but are they really that different from each other that creations meant to go into space couldn't be adapted to go into water???

I understand that fule, atmospheric pressure (especially as you go deeper), life forms (both that we know of and those we have yet to discover), and all the other things you have to take into consideration when traveling the ocean are all factors, but do you really thing that sending a giant metal container into a big black void only lit up by balls of combusting gasses is a safer idea???

or is it because you think there's some intelligent life out there that won't see us and immediately kill us?

is it because you think there's some chance that life beyond us can be reasoned and bargained with?

is it because you think that there aren't other beings that wouldn't use us to survive?

or maybe, just maybe, is it because after how we've hurt this planet, even if there was intelgent life in the ocean, the kind that can be reasoned and bargained with, they would still kill us?
