[RFC] [R to the E to the T to the C-O-N] Rebuild of Soviet Air Force

[robkelk]

The average Soviet will vote on an issue at least twice a week, though these issues will tend to be local events and not large-scale legislature.

OOC: You might want to re-phrase this one, unless you wanted to imply that a soviet votes on the same issue more than once in the same week.

Representative to the Federation Infosocialist Malaclypse Fnord

Occasionally called "Federation Ambassador Fnord" by people who (a) don't like him and (b) remember how the original Star Trek portrayed ambassadors, but never where he can hear it.

(Well, almost never. Occasionally Noah calls Mal this to his face when in a foul mood about what the "commies" just did.)

Economics
{foo; basic socialist distribution network. Most property & all petty cash is held in trust as a common pool which can be drawn as needed by pretty much everybody. Income comes from intellectual property leases to outside factions (see OV-200 designs to Hephaestus) box office takes from Sandwich Films/MoC documentaries, expedition contracts, etc.}

And dividends from Sora's one share of StellviaCorp... which aren't nearly as much as the rumor mill claims.

(OOC: Unless the VVS have a principle against holding stock, in which case the Artemis Foundation would have bought the share from them.)

The “special relationship” between the Soviets and Stellvia Corporation has come under strain in recent years, due to the Soviet stance on infosocialism and freedom of information and repeated suggestions that the Stellvia-released copy of the Whole Fenspace Catalog was doctored. Though relations between the two factions haven’t broken down completely, there is a noticeable coolness that wasn’t there a decade before.

Many of the issues that would have been resolved face-to-face in the past are now addressed by intermediaries - on occasion, Serenity II has had to mediate between these two factions allied to the Senshi in order to "preserve the peace of the Inner Solar System" (her words, but Sailor Atalante always was prone to the over-dramatic).
