* The Outer-Teceti Colonial Union's populace believes heavily on a perceived level of owed work to keeping their communities and colonies functioning. Permanent employment is seen as the norm, with most either working for the colony's maintenance or expansion as a government worker of the O-TCU, or for the multiple businesses that maintain permanent presences due to being a major economic port. Every colony begins the education of its populace as soon as they are cognizant enough to learn, from training their personalities to issuing multiple standardized tests that gauge their abilities and willingness to learn. Many students are as likely to enter secondary school as they are to immediately enter the workforce or technical apprenticeship upon graduation from primary education. Outside of work, the expected norm is to keep a hobby or secondary profession for the sake of self-improvement, though it's not formally enforced beyond peer pressure. By comparison, most terrestrial Kepori perceive the colonists as both deeply driven and anxious to the point of neurosis. Social packs are smaller and noticeably more from coworkers and fellow students than from the broad community, and families being more insular in comparison. Internal ranking and promotions are considered vital to social standing, with social classes formed around each level of merit on top of the existing benefits and improved salaries. | * The Outer-Teceti Colonial Union's populace believes heavily on a perceived level of owed work to keeping their communities and colonies functioning.

"It was not the ancestors that survived the first death of Teceti who united us, nor was it those who saw the death of Second Teceti's innocence during the invasion of the North Teceti Coalition that unified us as a people. What formed Riso-Teceti was the children of those generations, who were made to promise that these calamities must never be repeated. Riso-Teceti will outgrow the shadow of the past, or it will wilt and die in that cold darkness it was born in."

The Unified Teceti Federation, referred to in shorthand as Riso-Teceti, is the combined governing body that formed out of the Northern Teceti Coalition and Southern Teceti Combine. It presides over the entirety of Teceti as a planet and a majority of its interstellar territories outside of the Reki System, save for Teceti's own ring system, which is governed independently by the Outer-Teceti Colonial Union. The planet is divided into multiple provinces that have preserved the original map of pre-unification Teceti, with each province still having a relatively small level of self-governance. The UTF and its provincial bodies maintain a strong interest in improving the conditions of their lives while maintaining an equally strong environmentalist approach to planetary handling. Somewhat similar to the Solar Confederation in its interest of maintaining neutral, it has almost unilaterally disarmed themselves save for a self-defense force that defends Teceti, its territories elsewhere, and no further. The UTF maintains multiple attempts to retain strong ties to the other members of the interstellar community, and its position as the current leading nation in harnessing terraformation and agriculture has cemented its place as a valuable member of galactic harmony.
Structure
Riso-Teceti is the overarching government over the entirety of terrestrial Teceti, having been enacted to formally unify both north and south. While the original plan involved The Ring's own entry into the federation, the union of colonies formally denied the offer on peaceful terms, but cooperates with them as an independent ally to this day. Both the North Teceti Coalition and South Teceti Combine cooperate and work together formally under Riso-Teceti, coordinates support and humanitarian efforts, and regularly convene on matters regarding global and interstellar politics.
The Outer-Teceti Colonial Union
The Outer-Teceti Colonial Union consists of The Ring and multiple asteroid-based colonies around Teceti's planetary orbit, numbering in the dozens. The O-TCU operates on the same basis of meritocratic-oligarchy from its inception; every colony is led a group of equally-ranked leaders of their departments - from a group of knowledgeable station technicians to those managing the public-facing aspects and recreations of the colony members. These groups of departmental leaders are referred to as a panel, with all of the panels of the colony being a council. In lieu of a captain or governor position, however, communal decisions are handled by a vote of each department's panel. Each council also reports directly to Larisafa, The Ring installation's formal name and capital, for decisions regarding the entirety of the O-TCU.
Northern Teceti Coalition
To the northern polar region of Teceti is the Northern Teceti Coalition - a large group of various settlements that aligned themselves to the original agreement of communal support. Though the temporary basis of the coalition has long been moot, it enjoys a new position as the global breadbasket. However, majorly contributing to Teceti's export of food develops a constant need for members to improve their ability to feed the nations, supply the market outside, all while preserving their agrarian-socialist and staunch environmentalist titles. For government participation, every region is allotted a total of three representatives to attend the NTC's national assembly, and every representative is chosen by a vote by their home region. Beyond the national assembly, multiple executive, social, and managerial branches of the NTC work to keep its many programs functioning. As a result, the NTC maintains a majority of the state’s farms, their production, and the practice of environmental stewardship within them. All citizens benefit from the government's social welfare (notably the Basic Universal Necessities program) and robust public amenities, notably connecting most settlements through a network of trains, buses, and high-speed rail between population centers.
Southern Teceti Combine
On the opposing geographical end of the NTC is the Southern Teceti Combine - which are a coordinated group of city-states and their inter-city territories, or demesnes. As more of the cultural and technological center of the three, they proudly refer to themselves as a technocratic society. It is headed by political scientists and specific topic boards, the latter staffed by members of matching professions. The STC's governing is handled as more of a set of ongoing problems (with solutions to effect), instead of by debate and legislation. Each city is loosely involved to others within the Combine for the purposes of trade. Larger scale resolution among settlements is handled through communication between equal or similar boards. While this results in a level of separation from the average citizen and the government they live under, both natives and foreigners are convinced by a perceived level of efficiency compared to other governing systems.
Unified Teceti Federation
Representing both north and south, the United Teceti Federation is a supranational federal union that oversees the entirety of the planet. The UTF's responsibilities include coordinating both nations for the purposes of trade, military management, and handling of popular elections. Every citizen (including citizens among the Outer-Teceti Colonial Union's colonies) has an obligation to vote in the electoral events that are held. They are also able to volunteer for the UTF's Teceti Self-Defense Force if they so choose. Most consider the United Teceti Federation to be relatively hands-off regarding the executive powers they have over both nations, allowing both the NTC and the STC to operate on their own terms without needing to intervene. Every foreign nation and trade entity interacts directly with the UTF for the purposes of commerce rights and logistics, as both the O-TCU and the UTF are heavily cooperative in management of interstellar trade.

- The Outer-Teceti Colonial Union's populace believes heavily on a perceived level of owed work to keeping their communities and colonies functioning. Permanent employment is seen as the norm, with most either working for the colony's maintenance or expansion as a government worker of the O-TCU, or for the multiple businesses that maintain permanent presences due to being a major economic port. Every colony begins the education of its populace as soon as they are cognizant enough to learn, from training their personalities to issuing multiple standardized tests that gauge their abilities and willingness to learn. Many students are as likely to enter secondary school as they are to immediately enter the workforce or technical apprenticeship upon graduation from primary education. Outside of work, the expected norm is to keep a hobby or secondary profession for the sake of self-improvement, though it's not formally enforced beyond peer pressure. By comparison, most terrestrial Kepori perceive the colonists as both deeply driven and anxious to the point of neurosis. Social packs are smaller and noticeably more from coworkers and fellow students than from the broad community, and families being more insular in comparison.
