The Raksa pact, as it is known officially is a large colonial empire located in the inner-colonies on the border of the Sol safe zone. It is bordered by the Suzerainty of Tamil, The Principality of Caladbolg and the League of Draconis.  It is an oddity in interstellar affairs as it is not a solid sovereign entity, instead being a large alliance of independent colony worlds who collectively act as the Raksa pact in foreign affairs.
The Sol Alliance, often just addressed as “The Alliance” or sometimes just “Sol” is a strong federation of the core colony worlds originally settled by the Humans from Earth. It is a democracy de jure, however power within the Union often falls into the hands of a number of influential and wealthy 'inner worlds' which serve as a sort of Aristocracy, having the largest populations in huamn space after Earth was abandoned. Until recently, these families have held power nearly since the Alliance's founding. But, in the last election Salvatore Abbiati, from the Jovian moons won in a landslide. The Alliance is emerging from an marked era of economic stagnation and territorial contraction. This period was headed by the isolationist “Sol” party, which has since been ousted by Abbatis' “Oath” party. The Alliance is bordered by The Democratic Republic of L'Ouverture, Viceroyalty of Quetzalcoatl, Saris Free Trade Zone, The United Colonies of America, New British Empire, New Republic of Peru, League of Draconis, Raksa Pact, Suzerainty of Tamil.


The Pact is a highly diverse society, with hundreds of distinct ethnicities and nationalities within it's constituent states. With the largest specific ethnic group consisting of only 22% of the population, and hundreds of minorities making up the vast majority of the population. It's only intercolonial organization are it's army, navy and a single legislative branch known as the “Council of States” which consists of a single representative from each of it's 27 colonies and settlements.
The Alliance began as an evolution of the UN designed to administer all colony worlds. As the inner-colonies grew, the Alliance gained more power until it gained enough political and military clot to declare itself ''the'' governing body of humanity. Alliance politics during these first couple centuries of Alliance rules are best described as 'Earth' vs the 'Inner-Colonies'. Earth was by far the most populated place is human space, but relied on the colonies for raw resources to keep it alive. Earth also viewed the colonies as 'hers' and a strong sense of 'Earth-planetism' ensured that Earth was always draining more and amore resources from the colonies. The Alliance became split on colony and Earth lines, eventually culminating in the first Alliance Civil War. Earth was rendered uninhabitable by centuries of urban decay and pollution and the outbreak of a mysterious virus on the surface of the planet. The surviving Earth population spread out into the stars, many settling in slums on Mars or Luna, some radical elements fleeing into the fringe. Today, the Alliance is a 'Inner-colony centric' government, reflecting the prestige of the most developed, populated and prosperous planets in human space.


Due to it's unique nature, The Raksa pact has no single classification in the Bank of Sol for it's income status or industrialization state. Though the vast majority of the constituent colonies are in the 'early industrialization' stage and are universally developing quite rapidly in comparison to the rest of the colonial states. This, along with it's large size (second only to the Union of Sol) makes it quite a force to be reckoned with in interstellar affairs.   
The Alliance is an extremely diverse society, with no specific ethnic group of any kind making up a majority, at most holding a plurality. More than 31% of the population is composed of minority ethnic groups spread across the Sol system and the colonies, both in major population centers and in a handful of ethnic enclaves.  Socially, the Alliance is a rather pleasant place to live as-long as you’re not too insistent on being involved in the political system.  Tt is among the more liberal of the empires, with tolerance, social equality and opportunity seen as the birth-right of all mankind, not just those citizens of the Alliance. The Alliance is by far the most powerful of all Human governments, with only the Skrellian Confederation being near an equal in power, wealth and technological advancement.  Religious Freedom is also viewed by Solarians as being integral to Human rights, and as such Sol is a secular society where government interference with personal religion is not just frowned upon, but outright forbidden by law.   


The Raksa pact, as previously mentioned acts in most realms (save foreign affairs and defense) as a number of independent entities who have unique local laws, maintain their own police forces and largely have their own culture and some planets even maintain unique languagesIt is a diverse and extremely heterogeneous society that makes it an interstellar oddity.   
Politically, the Union of Sol is a quagmire. With two centuries of codified laws complicating the electoral process to an almost byzantine degree.  Furthermore, the vast majority of politicians come from a pseudo-aristocracy from the inner-most worlds which over the centuries has gained a fearsome foothold in matters political and governmentalWhile officials outside of these ‘families’ are somewhat common, they usually are found in lower ranking positions. Most seats on the Sol Senate are held by the 'political families' or those affiliated with them.   


The origin stories of the various constituent colonies of the pact are complicated and long-winded safe to say.  However, the pact itself was a much simpler affairWhen the numerous states that now make up the pact say their neighboring colonies being swallowed up by foreign, hostile empires. They decided that they would not share that fate, and so bonded into a military defense pact that has since evolved into the current Raksa Pact. 
The executive branch of the Alliance divests its power into three individuals. While usually being referred to as an executive Councillor.  The three Councillors are, the leader of the majority/plurality party (Chief Councilor), The High-Admiral of the Alliance navy, and the Minister of CommerceThe leader of the majority party takes the role of head of the executive council, while the two unelected officials are viewed as subordinate, though both other councils can, together, veto an action of the Chief Councilor. Though this method, an unstable or otherwise unreliable leader can have his power checked by the other two Councillors, mitigating the damage they are capable of inflicting. On the reverse, this can render an otherwise talented head counselor incapable of doing his duties if he is not well-liked by the other Councillors


The pact has a massive and unwieldy military that's only advantage is in it's sheet brute strength and force of numbersIt's soldiers are on-average only lightly armored and armed with substandard weaponry at best, while it's ships are either cobbled together, lightly armed or purchased from foreign powersDespite this, it can be a devastating force in conventional warfare if led properlyAnd in it's many deployments in interstellar conflict, it has performed beyond expectations.   
The Sol Alliance is the most advanced and technologically sophisticated entity in Human space, with possibly only the Skrell exceeding them in their technological advancementA specific piece of technology that is critical to what the Alliance is today is the Warp-gate network present in low orbit of each and every garden or developed core worldThis network of transit stations connected to their host-worlds by orbital elevators. Each has anywhere from one, to twenty wormhole-gates which can connect to any other gate in the network allowing for near-instantaneous travel to any other gateThese gates are roughly 3 meters tall and 3 meters wide, with a small tram and rails connected into its horizon. Allowing a tram of 20 people to cross 60 light years from one side of the Union to the other in mere moments  


The wormhole network is integral to how the Alliance is today.  With this invention, populations can be shifted as the need becomes available and cheap travel across the Union is available to any and all. With an average trip through the gate costing less than 100Cr. This, along with arcologies being the main method of habitation allows a remarkably low population density for its massive population. The Alliance prides itself on building comfortable settlements while simultaneously leaving the vast majority of nature on settled planets untouched.  The relative peace and prosperity of the Sol Alliance was the main factor allowing the development and creation of these wonders of modern technology, as they are far too expensive, advanced, and tempting a target in the less-developed outer-colonies. 


The Raksa pact's foreign affairs policy is precisely this, stay independent. All other tasks are considered secondary and all other policies are aligned to support and strengthen the Pacts' unity and independence. It has a reasonable amount of influence in the affairs of other empires and uses this to ensure Raksan economic dominance in the Inner-colonies.
Though the Alliance was isolated politically and economically until extremely recently. They are now gearing up for heightened trade with both the outer and fringe colonies, powered by bluespace drivers. The Alliance is by far the highest exporter in Human space, trading medical supplies, ship-parts and industrial equipment and luxury goods for foodstuffs, refined plasma and other natural resources.  


The Alliance was founded early in the recent era, as a combined effort of Humanity to successfully leave the planet spurned by fears of economic collapse due to resource depletion.  Slowly however, the Alliance began assuming more duties until it declared itself the governing body of humanity.
Shaped over time by a series of extremely damaging civil wars, the Alliance has retreated from her outer-most colonies, slowly shrinking over the centuries. The Alliance has set down her border at a roughly 75 ly bubble around Sol.  Its borders are ferociously guarded by elements of the Alliance Navy. 
Since the election of Salvatore Abbiati, things have changed in the Aliance.  With the loyalty and support of the High Admiral and Minister of Commerce, Abbiati has been able to force reforms through the Sol senate, crippling the power of the old families and opening the upper echelons of the government to the lower-class.  However, the Alliace is coming to realize the uncomfortable reality that not only does the nation rely on NanoTransen to keep the economy going, they may be exerting a dangerous amount of influence over Alliance affairs. The current administration is also highly suspicious of the conditions behind the forming of the Tau Ceti Free Trade Zone, not to mention the essential loss of one of it's core systems.
