I suggest we try to consider every posible position and ministry, we'll eventually all only be in charge of one, or maybe two in relating positions !!!

The demo will be out soon, so let's think up of all the posible ministries and other government positions !!! Please make sure you post here what your position already is, and if you have more than one, which is the one you want to keep the most !!!

Victor, you designed the ship, by all means name it, I'm sure you'll pick the perfect name for it !!!

*** Copied post from: "Canadian 8th Faction of Humanity thread" ***

For you new comers, this is the the Alpha Centauri Project's 8th Faction .. the Canadian !!!

We stand for many things, truth and integrity being a couple of our main ideaologies !!!

Our faction is in memory of the great Canadian hero .. Captain Garland !!!

He sacrifices his life (or does he?) to save us !!!

He stays behind on the Unity to save us from certain death !!!

If you need background info on this, please by all means, look at all the Canadian related threads, and also take a peak at the "Who killed Captain Garland" thread !!!

To review the future-past, we all know that the Unity is badly damaged !!! That there is only one realistic chance to get the settlers to Chiron (Planet) ... but ...

At some point late in the mission, Captain Garland realises that the "separated" cryobay that was cut off from the rest of the ship, was actually still functional, albeit badly damaged !!! This cryobay, was full of the Canadian contingent !!! Captain Garland, being selfless humanist that he is, would NOT jeapordise all of humanity to save only 1/8th of the crew.

So .. he stages his own death so that the rest of the crew would continue the mission without thinking they had left anyone behind !!! (If they thought they were leaving people behind, many of them would want to stay to help, but this would have been to great a risk to risk the only chance for humanity) So Garland and a few of his closest advisors and loyal Canadians crew stay behind after the rest of the crew leave for planetside !!!

Once the rest of the crew is gone, they begin the long process of recovering the rest of the Canadians, many dead, yet many more alive !!! Once they completed that task, they still had the very long task of fixing the Unity ship and somehow returning to Chiron !!!

This restoration takes what seems like an eternaty, but it finally gets done !!! They now have repaired the Unity completely ... they also have their share of the supplies that the Captain secretly put aside in their name !!! They have the massive greenhouse that could support well over 8 times their numbers !!! In the time that follows, they devote much of their time to reseach, technology and growth. They have the entire ship to themselves .. they still have the entire database of humanity from which to derive new research from. They also don't have the hurdles the other factions did at first: war, conflict, learning to adapt to a new environment etc ... !!! Yet, they would get all this information first hand forom the probes, as they continually transmitted data back to the ship (no one bothered to turn them off because they thought the ship was empty) !!!

So with all this in mind, they ironicly proper in the fact that they didn't make it to Chiron first !!!

Appalled at what is happening down on the planet, Captain Garland decides to return as soon as posible ... he looks upon the warring factions with disgust .. they've only continued the problems of humanity, this was supposed to be our 2nd chance ... and they ruined it !!!

So the Canadians return ... with the mission of restoring peace and order and harmony .. yet they realise that this might not be possible without some force !!! The use of force is not the Canadians first choice, they offer all the factions a diplomatic means to peace, and some factions agree and join the Canadians ... Yet since they can't convince all the factions, they impose cease fires on all factions .. they prefer to live in harmony with the other factions who did not join them, but if the other factions ever abused their relationships with the Canadian alliance, they would be destroyed by the vastly superrior Canadian force (as I said, the Canadians were able to grow and research unhindered on the Unity while the other factions wasted resources on war and exploration) !!!

And although the means were not what they were hoping for, in the end, it took the Canadians to restore hope for humanity !!!

Eventually, Captain Garland will die, but it won't be on the Unity .. it will be on Chiron .. fighting to save humanity !!!

---------------------------------------

Ok .. so that was a little background to what the Canadians are about .. but don't join us because we are the biggest and the most powerful .. join us because it is the right thing to do !!! We beleave in humanity .. our leader sacrificed his life for only the chance that others could live !!! That's what being Canadian is about !!!

You don't have to be born in Canada to be a member of the 8th Faction ... the 8th Faction is not series of lines on a map .. it's a state of mind .. a set of beliefs .. a way of thinking !!! It's open to anyone who places the good of all humanity ahead of their own personal interests !!!

So, with that being said, welcome to the 8th faction .. our name "Canadians" is merely a testimen to our origins, if you join us, you won't have to salute the Canadian flag or have to pray to any particular god ... yet you'd have to pray and salute to humanity !!!

Other factions have joined our allience !!! The 9th faction of EuRoland, has virtually been "assimilated" (I use that term for Roland (: ) into the alliance !!! Talks are under way with the UN faction and UoP faction, the 8th Faction is now the Faction of Humanity, the true UN !!!

We have one reason for being !!!

Number 1: Mankind !!!

For you veterans here in this forum, you will notice something increadible wonderous in that statement !!! If you shorten that, the truth will become clear !!!

It's been with us from the beginning and we never knew it !!!

Number 1: Mankind
[N]umber [1]: [M]ankind
N1M ... (Pronounced nom)

--------------------------------------

Anyways, I officially invite all "Canadian", wehter born in Canada or not, to participate in the 8th Faction or any other faction allienced with us !!!

If you have any questions (I'm sure you do, as this is merely a brief review of the entire future-history), or if you'd like to join .. just post here .. and we'll take it from there !!!

WCW .. could you please post a review of our current membership !!!

Remember everyone ... N1M forever !!!
