Flag of the Unitary Technocracy Etoile Arcture
+
Following invasions and occupations by the British and French during the 18th and 19th centuries the former colony of Etoile Arcture finally gained its independence in 1949 following a five year war against French colonialists. Etoile Arcture now belongs to the group of Nova nations, having one of the most powerful economies in the region based on the formula of a capitalist system interlarded with substantial welfare elements. Over the last half century Etoile Arcture�¢ï¿½ï¿½s economy has been marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology. The nation is named after it's highest mountain peak, St. Etoile Arcture (the "Saint of The Rising Star of Arcturus").

==BACKGROUND==
+
Politics in Etoile Arcture are conducted within a unitary democratic system of proportional representation, in which representatives are meritoriously elected from the Populace every two or four years for each branch of the Legislature, Judiciary and Secretariat. Party politics are lively. Candidates are free to run under on a independent platform or as members of political parties or alliances. This system encourages a high level of pluralism within Etoilian politics. The Secretary General of the Secretariat (the elected government and civil service) is the elected head of state, with the Director Generals and the deputies of each Government Directorate the elected leaders of their respective ministries. This system allows for advancement through ability and achievement, and ensures full transparency, probity and accountability throughout all levels of government.
