Vanu politics

Shendao · 2012-08-07, 07:44 PM

We know what vanus want: transhumanism.
Well great so far, but what is there political system? How is their society organized?

I know its a nerd question, but I'm curios about this aspect of the vanu. Is there any lore about this?

their society is organized like this:

Twilight Sparkle > all > everything else

No, just no, please, no.

And to reply, my guess is that they cooperate with each other as a sort of religo-scientific society who move forward with a purpose of one goal, allowing for cooperation

An anarcho-syndicalist commune.

And they distribute their resources... how? The most vanu-like person gets the most resources? (For science of course... or military campaign... or increase of production etc.).

Still unclear.

It would be on rank, top researchers would probably get the most for development costs, while the grunts get the least.

I think Bocheezu is not far off...

The funny thing about the Vanu is that when you talk about the NC or the TR, you have this image of civilians, people not involved in the war and how they live. You imagine the TR civilian lifestyle of oppressed but safe states, then the NC with free living on corporate money, but what of the Vanu? Are they oppressive like the TR? Are they free like the NC? We are pretty sure they are all supportive of alien tech, but that doesn't mean every man woman and child will bear arms to make their point clear.

I think the Vanu atm are a successful anarchy. What i mean is, there is no government, but the people live content enough together to not break down into crime for the time being. It's also probably an unofficial martial law. If things get hairy then the people look to the military or lead researchers for guidance. But that's just my idea.

I believe they live in a sorta jetsons futuristic society, who all culturally pray to the vanu for the blessings they gave.

This probably has a strong influence. The VS are lead by a council, who is responsible for all decisions for the group as a whole.

Not hard to imagine that this council is made up of experts of various scientific fields of study and research.

You seem to have missed out the mushroom eaters!

TRolling on by!

I would love to know more on a concrete backstory tbh,when you think about,the whole thing could do its own 40k style spin off.

The more lore, the better.

Technocracy seems most likely, the VS did start out as a bunch of scientists disgruntled because the TR shut down all their research.

We managed to perfect the liquid democracy. A form of a real base democracy. Everybody can vote, everybody can suggest ideas. All this is done in our big neuronal net, which connects every Vanu with each other.

^ was going to be my guess. Anyone else ever play City of heroes back in the day?
Stephan Richter (sp) AKA lord arachnos, was also a common human being until being blessed by the Titan Tartarus with demigod like powers and great intellect.
Constructing various devices of incredible technology (or stealing them) and weaving an intricate plot to stage a coup in order to create his own nation, free from the laws and politics of the rest of the world. With the ultimate goal of a technocracy, albeit twisted by his dark vision.
