Illuminated Technocracy of Gaen

The Illuminated Technocracy of Gaen is the overarching construct that governs all Gaeni, from individuals to the mighty Institutes. It is a government, admittedly, of the Institutes and by the Institutes, where the top council is filled by Institute appointees. Nonetheless, the long self-destructive history of the Gaeni people have ensured that the Technocracy has been entrusted with genuine teeth to keep things in line.

There is a council made of appointees by the Gaeni Institutes that coordinates all functions known as the Central Technocracy Council. This is a Council of 62 members, with an "Executive Panel" of five internal office holders. From here the various ministries, the Interstellar Ministry, the Naval Supervisory Ministry, the Industrial Ministry, and many others, are given oversight and direction. As a result, the Technocracy is partially an extensive civil service, and partially a democratic institution, as almost all Gaeni have input into the appointments of their Institutes. There is also an "Outer Council" where all recognised Institutes submit a member, amounting to six-hundred and thirty seven at present.
