Phanes, officially the Phanes Republic, is a star-nation in the Gamma Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. Its position is relatively isolated, and the nation enjoys relative freedom from potential neighbours and any resultant discomfort. The Republic has a population of approximately 26.3 million, and comprises of territories in three star systems. The intra-stellar capital is the city of Gytheia on the world of Sagittar, although each world houses its own sub-capital and the largest city by population is the city of Corinth, also located on Sagittar.
History
The Republic is, in galactic terms, a young nation. Barely two-hundred years have passed since the first inhabitants of Sagittar landed on their new homeworld. Within that time, the fractious populations that split the system between themselves have fought brutal wars against each other and with those of their own worlds. Despite all this, or perhaps because of it, the majority of the two cultures prevalent are at peace with each other in the modern era. Just a few short years after unification, the Sagittarians and Xhanese found themselves newly minted members of the Joint Systems Alliance, a body which ended a few short years later. After spending a decade in cautious hiding from the ferocious Vipran Imperium, the Republic has, after inadvertent contact with the Maekari, revealed themselves again.
The Republic was formed from two different planetary authorities that both found themselves co-existing in the Phanes star system. The first was the Sagittaran Democracy, located on a fertile and large planet that orbited the local star as the fourth planetary body. The second was the Xhanese Planetary Council, who settled the dwarf planet of Cao-Xhan, the second body of the system, and one that, although far more inhospitable in both environment and fauna, is excessively rich in rare minerals and more common ores.

Politics
Polyarchy
Emperor Súrvan Jaansma is the first to sit on the throne while not being the formal head of the Congregation of Broken Chains or a member of the former imperial dynasty. One similarity he does have with his forebears is that his is an elective position, and Jaansma was elected following the death of Vetok XIII as part of a compromise towards the various conservative factions, while simultaneously trying to further the liberalisation of the Vetokite political structure introduced by his predecessor.
Government
The national government is divided into a number of different Ministries under the overall leadership of the First Minister, each of which has a separate area of the government to deal with, and each with their own Minister controlling the Ministry in question. These are, respectively:
- Ministry of Homeland Affairs
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Ministry of Justice
- Ministry of Trade
- Ministry of Culture
- Ministry of Health and Social Care
- Ministry of Local Development
