The PAIRC’s GalNet page explaining the colony’s political system.
When the project to create the Precursor Artificial Intelligence Research Center began, the goal wasn’t simply to create a research center to assist the Minmatar Republic’s war effort against the Amarr Empire and pirate insurgents, or New Eden’s against emerging threats, but to create the most efficient society possible, a society free from the flaws that plague others, a society that would allow its citizens to be happy and useful for the greater good while using their full potential.
To achieve this vision, the government was entrusted to experts in various fields, to technocrats whose mission is to analyze the colony and its problems and provide science-based solutions with an efficient and pragmatic mindset, to ensure the comfort, security, and freedom of its citizens while increasing the effectiveness of the research taking place in the center’s scientific areas and that of the Armed Forces.
The main decision-making institution is the Technocratic Council, which is divided into two sections:
- the Council of Scholars
- the High Council
The Council of Scholars is composed of three subsections:
- the Social Subsection, in charge of social, political, and economic affairs, composed of experts in these areas.
- the Security Subsection, composed of military officers and experts who manage internal security, the Armed Forces divisions, and external operations.
- the Research Subsection, composed of engineers, biologists, cyberneticists, and other professionals important to the colony’s scientific programs.
The Council of Scholars’ members acts as advisors analyzing the state of the PAIRC, reflecting on observed problems that need to be solved, debating on what could be improved to achieve our vision of creating the most efficient society and research center possible, and proposing solutions. The different subsections sometimes interact with each other on matters that concern them simultaneously.
The High Council is the governing body of the PAIRC, composed of experts in the fields studied by the Council of Scholars. They analyze the reports and proposals of the Council of Scholars and decide which are the most relevant and useful to implement. They possess executive and legislative power, approving laws proposed by the Scholars and enforcing them through their control of the colony’s Armed Forces. They also manage the colony’s research programs.
Judicial power is mainly held by members of another institution: the Universal Court of Justice, this institution is responsible for applying sanctions to people found guilty of non-compliance with the law.
The Founders are the creators of the PAIRC and its political vision, or their successors should they no longer manage the colony. They have superior authority over the High Council in the colony’s affairs although they allow the Technocratic Council to operate in their place most of the time, intervening mainly to make and carry out important decisions and operations. They possess executive, legislative and judicial power.
The Watcher AI system can temporarily take control of the colony if no human can assume the role of Founder or operate the High Council effectively, while it selects qualified individuals to assume the role of Founder or member of the High Council. It can possess executive, legislative and potentially and exceptionally judicial power.
The PAIRC is a client state, as MHC-R3 III is controlled by the Taayusaka Eskeitan corporation while the Syndicate region as a whole is a protectorate of the Caldari State.
