Dragon Ball Z: Dark Ascension

After he destroyed another clone, R'yak felt the new power level of a being somewhere away from the lab and he was curious to see who the power level belonged to. He left the lab and took off towards the place where the power level was. Soon he came to the place and saw Yu and Wolf standing in front of someone. When he landed beside them, R'yak saw that the new comer was a saiyan, not a dark saiyan but a full blooded female saiyan. He wasn't expecting to see another one since he thought they were all extinct except for their descendants on earth. He wondered if she was a threat or possible ally, ether way it looked like she annoyed Wolf and that was a thing in R'yak's book.

The War of the Great Kingdoms (A Sci-Fi NRP)

The main reason I'm asking this is because 1) the term "responsible capitalism" and your description of it strikes me as a socialist government, and 2) I'm not sure where a clear definition of the stratocracy ends and the "republic" begins.Furthermore, how is the republic a republic? Are certain people restricted from holding government positions outside of veteran explorers and military personnel? How do the elections work? How much does the government influence the economy? (More specifically, why is it a form of capitalism rather than a [semi] socialist economy?) How much influence does the military have on the government, and vice versa? I think these are major issues to address.

As I said I am still working on it

That's... Not a republic. A Republic is a government run by representatives of the people, elected by the people. What you just described is a Stratocracy with a competent enough military to have diplomatic envoys and a Recon division.

I was planning to have the military leaders and explorers be voted by the people to represent them in the government.

Alright, here's what I got so far for you, Yog.1: These traits don't necessarily result in what you have specified. While living in higher gravity environments will result in a species adapted to such a gravity, it does not make them tougher.2: Why are they skilled in this manner? Is it instinctual mechanical skill? Has this knowledge been taught to them as part of required schooling? Genetic memory?3: Why? Surely as explorers, their first reaction would be to establish diplomatic ties and make peace with other civilizations, rather than see everything as a threat that needs destroyed.4: You're going to have to go a bit more in-depth here to explain how they can instinctually understand the workings of alien weapons. Battle-prowess does not mean that you are able to pick up a weapon you are unskilled with and be able to effectively use it.1: This directly conflicts with #3 above, and makes me question it even further. Going to have to clear things up here and be more concise.

Again I have been busy and haven't refined everything about my faction yet. I would like to point out that when you're exploring the unknown it is best to be prepared and the military provides protection against possible threats, do you think that an exploration style nation would just open its door to anyone? Look at America, we got the first man on the moon and have plans to explore space and our country is pretty militarized. I was going for a hybrid faction of warriors and explorers.

Re: "responsible capitalism", you might be looking for the term "".

I like the term responsible capitalism, I found it on a list of different forms of capitalism

@Yog Sothoth: Please elaborate on what the following terms actually mean:Responsible Capitalism -- What exactly is this? How is this different than the normal version of that type of economy which seems so common everywhere?Hybrid Republic & Stratocracy -- ??? I don't even know what the word "Stratocracy" denotes, and how is it a republic when it seems to be an oligarchy consisting of veteran explorers and prominent skilled workers?

I already explained what responsible capitalism is in the economy description, responsible capitalism is a more governmentally controlled capitalist system which helps lessen the inequities that occur in a regular capitalistic system. A stratocracy is a government run by military leaders, Sparta is the most well known example of a stratocracy. Also when I say republic I mean that the explorers are the representatives of the people, as I said I will be adding more soon which will elaborate more on their style of government
