What is the Most Serene Republic?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Most Serene Republic is an Oligarchical Republic with its capital on Etti IV. Inspired by and taking cues from the Merchant Republics that rose to prominence in the Mediterranean Ocean during the Middle Ages. As it is inspired by and has elements of these real world Merchant Republics, such as the Most Serene Republic of Venice and the Carthaginians; it is heavily focused on trade, diplomacy and to a lesser extent military force. However it is not entirely without its defenses and through the use of a Starfighter Corps, Mandari Guard, Merchant Fleet and the employing of Mercenaries and Privateers; it is more than capable of defending itself.
As it is an Oligarchical Republic, the vast majority of power is held in the head of state, the Doge; with a handful of powerful merchant families controlling most of the government. These families can rise and fall as quickly as their wealth. Few families have remained powerful enough to stay in power; with those that do being greatly respected.

What are your goals?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As this faction is heavily focused on trade with limited influence by the Mercantilism economy; the Most Serene Republic focuses on more Diplomatic and Economical means of expansion. Likewise this more diplomatic and economical mindset carefully guides their goals.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What types of characters fit within the Most Serene Republic?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many characters can fit within the faction, though there are those whom would not. For the most part the following list are those types of characters that would be the most beneficial to the faction.

What makes you different from similar groups like the South System Bazaar?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What makes the Most Serene Republic different from other similar factions like the South System Bazaar, the Corporate Sector Authority; or other styled factions is its uniqueness in its set up. Many of these factions do not offer such freedom and expansion that the Most Serene Republic can offer. It provides for the ability to see your own creation of a merchant family rise and fall without there being a safety net should you fall from your high station.
It is not just a collection of companies plying their wares. Rather it is a collection of like minded individuals seeking their own fortune and working with one another. The Most Serene Republic is a family; in which each character matters to the overall whole of the faction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is in the Future for the Most Serene Republic?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many things that lay before the Most Serene Republic. I seek to give writers a new faction that is not heavily focused on the constant war. I am sure though that it will be brought up 'This is Star Wars though not 'Star Peace.' That's true, however just because it is Star Wars does not mean we should immediately cast aside factions that want to provide writers with a different style, view or scenario to experience and enjoy.
I see the Most Serene Republic as being a faction to be a haven for like minded individuals that want to enjoy a good diplomatic or economically driven thread without worrying about it descending into PvPvNPC.
If you have questions or comments, please let them be known. I will do my best to answer any other questions that may come up.
