[SIZE=9pt]Description:
The Unified Coruscant Party (UCP) is an active Political Party on the planet Coruscant. Compared to the present Administration, known as "Coruscant First" (a highly Xenophobic & tyrannical regime), they lean somewhat to the left; believing in liberty and peace amongst all races and improving the quality of Coruscant’s relations with the Galaxy and with a large majority of business-owners and groups throughout the region. They have begun campaigning for change on Coruscant, placing themselves in opposition to the Xenophobic Ideals of “Coruscant First” and have begun to climb in the Polls. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Party’s Executive Officer & Front-Runner, Devlyn Kane, is a highly successful businessman & banker in his own right, and has gone on-record speaking up for the rights of all sentient creatures as well as espousing a belief in the value of a Free & Open Market. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Headquarters: Coruscant[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Realm: Coruscant[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Domain: The Planet Coruscant, with some influence extending into the surrounding system. They are not the only Political Party active on Coruscant, but they are one of the largest. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Notable Assets: A relatively large PAC network to provide financial support[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]SOCIAL INFORMATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Hierarchy: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]President/Nominated Candidate[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Vice President [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]General Secretary [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Secretaries of various functions (Communications, Security, Treasury )[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Coordinators[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Full- and Part-time Employees.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Membership: ~37% of the population, registered voters; party contains 11,700 staff members city-wide; easy to register, easy to volunteer for local offices, but most hired positions require a political science degree of some sort or appropriate work experience. Running for public office requires the individual providing some amount of their own platform funding, and then the party provides the rest. Gender and race diversity may make qualified applicants more attractive to employers. Low-level staff and all volunteers don’t need to be Coruscanti citizens, but those who run for office do. However, they may have dual citizenship.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Influence: Some influence over economy and planetary public opinion (i.e. of immigration, galactic globalization, foreign policy); UCP also can utilize The Family to pressure political competition to step down[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Climate: Friendly, inclusive, dedicated, focused. Members of all races are welcome and the sharing of ideas is promoted & encouraged. Xenophobia is heavily discouraged. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Reputation: Beloved by many races for their views on equality and personal freedom, and respected by business-owners for their stance on Free Market Enterprise and Corporate Rights. Their approval ratings are particularly high amongst non-human Sentient Races for their directly oppositional stance to the current Administration’s xenophobic and often discriminatory practices. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Rules: “Never take more than you’re willing to give”, “Give a man a blaster, and he’ll take what he wants - Give a man a stylus, and he’ll give it all back.”, “Love, and Coffee, are the two most powerful things in The Galaxy.”, “Integrity & Courage will take you further than than any starship.” [/SIZE]
