Yamatai Star Empire
The Yamatai Star Empire (aka “Big Momma Yam”) became the dominant power in the known universe in ye_01 (The first year of the Empire), and remains a strongly influential power to this day, particularly through its strong military, the Star Army of Yamatai.
Government
Yamatai is a Constitutional Monarchy with the Empress as head of state and government, and with the citizenry serving as the national legislature through direct democracy (formerly representative democracy). Traditionally, Yamatai has been a fairly military-focused and expansionist nation. The capital of the Yamatai Star Empire is Kyoto, Yamatai.
Branches of the Government
| Branch | Executive | Legislative | Military |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leaders | Empress | Citizens | Admiralty |
| Functions | Daily operation | Submit and vote on laws | Defend and expand |
In practice, the Empress tries to stay out of the other branches' affairs despite having the power to do so, and has defended the Military from any control by the Legislative branch. Because of this, the military has tended to act independently (thus its listing as a separate branch of government).
The empire also has one Suzerainty, the Elysian Celestial Empire.
Judicial System
Yamatai's courts exist under all three branches; crimes by military members are held by military tribunals, government-related crimes and some major crimes by Executive courts, and common crimes by courts under Legislative juristiction. This can be confusing at times. Generally, a convicted person has the right to appeal to one of the other court systems, and then to the Empress herself.
