Techia

, also known as the Trade Emergency Coalition, officially known as the Democratic Imperial Trade Coalition, abbreviated to TEC, but simply known as Techia, is a multi-planet super power in the core of the Appearence. It is an imperial-democratic civilization, and has the fourth largest population in the known Universe, all of them being humanoid. Its super power status comes from its successful and incredibly quick unification of over thirty planets within a very short amount of time from its official founding in 1920. It is known as a large, developed civilization with uniquely advanced technology. Currently, the Techians control 32 planets, since it owned two of them prior to its rapid expansion and acquisition.

Because of its aggressive actions during its rapid expansion, and hence its large power, it has often been the target of anti-imperialism. It has notably sided with other imperial, albeit less liberal, civilization, such as the Kada Empire. It fought against the KBY, mostly the Kortorisan Civilization during a large war, and since then has maintained somewhat hostile relations with both the Kortorisans and Manaki, although the latter has not gone to war with them.

Government
Techia has a democratic representation government where the leader of the political party with the most civilian votes would rule the government and state. A vote is held every one and half years to decide on the leading political party of a nation, and if the leader of a party gets replaced during his term, he stays in power until the next election. The same party is allowed to serve a maximum of six terms, whereas a party leader is only allowed to serve a maximum of three terms. Despite Techia having a relatively democratic government, it is seen as extremely imperialistic due to its actions of suppressing dissent in its people and its huge acquisition of planets, conquering them despite resistance amongst the people.

Military
The Techians have a massive military, one of the largest in the known Appearence. It has been increasing in power and professionalism over the past few years in what has been seen as direct opposition to the KBY-Techia treaty that ended their war years ago. Despite their rapid expansion, they are now seen as isolationists, except for when their sovereignty is threatened, at which time they will react violently.

Culture and Behavior
Techians are very polite and nice to each other, however they are not as friendly towards those in other nations. They can be very hostile towards their enemies, particularly Kortorisa and Manaki. Those from the capital planet, Potecon, can be very well educated and intellectual, however people that are from planets that have been seized by Techia are occasionally not as well educated. Techians are all atheists, which is the official enforced stance that the government has taken.
