Aldia, officially the Commonwealth of Aldia, is a political & economic union of twelve nation states located in the Aldian System. The Aldian System is located approximately 10,000 Light Years away from Sol and its territories are found within the confines of the Carina Nebula. With a diameter of 50 Astronomical Units, it is comprised of a single G-Type main sequence star named Aldia and is directly orbited by twenty planetary bodies, five of which are habitable. The most populous planet, Verda, is the largest planet and is home to 40% of the Aldia's population. The nation's capital city is Fortem while its largest city and financial center is the city of Abundantia. Both cities are situated in the Aldian Capital Territory and the Independent Republic of Auriga respectively on the planet Verda. As a nation with peoples from not only a multicultural but also a multispecies backgrounds, the Commonwealth recognizes a variety of regional languages with the Aldian Standard being the lingua franca of the nation.
The planets of the Aldian System are inhabited by a variety of human species, the most dominant being Homo Sapiens (75% of the population). Surviving prehistoric cave paintings and papyrus records suggests that ancient humanity were brought from Earth and resettled in migratory waves by an unknown alien race. The purpose of these resettlements remains unknown but anthropologists theorize that these aliens sought to preserve various subspecies of humanity from extinction on Earth. Different subspecies of humanity were resettled on all five habitable planets of the Aldian System. Homo Sapiens resettled on Verda were the last subspecies of humanity to be resettled in the Aldian System. In the ensuing centuries each subspecies of humanity formed their own unique civilizations, nation states and advanced both technologically and culturally but not all progressed at the same rate. This resulted in a series of societal, economic and political challenges for humanity as a whole. The various nation states of humanity eventually formed the Association of Aldian Nations, the precursor organization to the Commonwealth itself, was meant to mediate disputes and foster cooperation between member states. The Commonwealth of Aldia was eventually declared in 1619 AD.
The Commonwealth is led by an elected President who acts as the head of state and an elected Westminster style bicameral legislature. The Chancellor serves as the Head of Government and is appointed by the President as the person who commands the confidence of a majority in parliament. The unified military arm of Aldia is the Commonwealth Self-Defense Forces (CSDF) and is maintained by a significant military budget. The CSDF is administered by the Commonwealth Military Administration (CMA) while the Chancellor serves as the commander-in-chief of the CSDF. The CSDF is technologically sophisticated and maintains a high number of active personnel, a compulsory 80-day military training regime is in force for all citizens at the age of 18. Due to its distance from Sol and any other nearby governments, Aldia has maintained a policy of isolationism and non-intervention in international affairs although it does have cordial and friendly relations with nations of the Laptev Axis region. Due to its remote location, many refugees across the galaxy has attempted to reach the Commonwealth to seek asylum.
