Polities and Governance

Laws and governments are not always stable. Some laws may be rewritten. Some governments must be conquered. Everything depends on the price for which they can be bought. —The Endurance of Value

Polities are entities organized around a collective interest; while they are often governments, they may also be institutions, cultural groups, interstellar councils, informal networks of influence —and, of course, corporations.

Polities are classified according to their scale and level of organization: from sub-polities —such as provinces, colonies, or subordinate corporations— to supra-polities, which encompass multiple entities under a unified coordination.

A Polity can be as small as an independent freighter or as vast as the Third Imperium, and it doesn't need to be sovereign to function as one.

Major Allegiances are often composed of networks of Polities aligned by culture, history, geography, or religion, organized to cooperate or resist greater powers without losing their functional identity.

In The Corporate Wars, corporations are affiliated with Allegiances; they accept their jurisdiction, tax obligations, and legal regulations.

Governance in the Game

In The Corporate Wars, governance is directly integrated into the game's architecture: all relevant entities —contracts, licenses, authorizations, or sanctions— are recorded on the Solana network, linked to a verifiable chain of signatures that reflects the legal and political hierarchy of the simulated universe.

Each corporate interaction generates a compliance trace: operating on a world requires ascending legal validations, from the local level to the corresponding Allegiance.

Institutional layers impose constraints, condition permissions, and act as mandatory filters for any significant activity.

Non-compliance, if detected, triggers descending responses: sanctions, embargoes, revocation of privileges, or reputational damage.

The response depends on the severity of the offense, the scope of the affected entity, and the capacity —or willingness— of local authorities to enforce the law and pursue offenders.

The blockchain infrastructure provides the legal backbone of the game, creating a verifiable framework where every legal, economic, or strategic decision has structural traceability.
