Geneova is a sparsely populated system, with a population of only 7 billion spread over 5 inhabited planets. The rocks are named after their Presidents at the time the individual democracies were dissolved by the institution of a system-wide monarchy. In order from the innermost world, the rocks are:

  • Talun Geneova
  • Raika (uninhabited)
  • Evenstral (uninhabited)
  • Kara Geneova
  • Wallenchen's World
  • Fountainhead Geneova
  • Leffen (uninhabited)
  • Pride Geneova

Kings of Kara Geneova

The planetary rulership of the Geneova system is a constitutional antiplutocracy.

The ruler is the King, who has the ability both to propose bills of law without a seconder, and to veto any bill regardless of the votes of the Common Parliament.

The kingship was originally a hereditary system, but this quickly led to disputes over the title. Now, a new King is selected every 3 years by electronic lottery.

Those with an annual income over 24000R are exempt from kingship, as it is considered unfair to cause difficulty by taking an entrapreneur's time away from his investments. Similarly, anyone with a full time job is considered to be fully occupied with his work.

Therefore the kings of Kara Geneova is selected from the lists of those unemployed and eligible to claim statutory benefits.

As the kingship does not confer any wealth or lands, therefore, the king must rely on the charity of his subjects to reach the parliamentary commissions. As these commissions are held on a different continent every month, the public support for a King (or the causes he represents) is a limiting factor on his power in government.
