History of Vexian Government

Vexian society is currently in the Post-Sovereign Economic Phase (PSEP). Near the end of the 22nd century, all major nation-states and their governments collapsed and were eventually abolished in subsequent decades. Vex is described by scholars as a hypercapitalist society, where every single tangible and non-tangible element is considered private property.

The rise of giga-corporations (gigacorps) filled the void left over by the vanquished 22nd century nation-states. Overpopulation demanded heavy economic consolidation and fortification, leading to the rise of the gigacorps out of necessity. Tensions increased amidst the leading governments of the largest nation-states, leading to fierce battles over oceanic, lunar and asteroid sovereignty. The ignition of this massive conflict is largely attributed to the Eos Collective and its sudden attacks on northern nation-state Acarius.

Vexian society's hypercapitalism means there is no formal centralized authority. There are no dictatorships, fiefdoms, democracies, or any form of organized government. The gigacorps and their military infrastructure and armament production created massive technological advancement and industrial fortification, superseding the importance and dominance of any government entity or individual in power.

Rise of the Gigacorps

The late 22nd century marked the collapse of traditional nation-states due to both internal (economic crises, social unrest) and external (resource shortages, climate disasters) factors. The gigacorps, initially smaller corporate entities, began consolidating power in response to the demand for resources and infrastructure.

Conflict spread across Vex’s three continents and extended into space. The battle for lunar and asteroid sovereignty, particularly on Vex’s moons and nearby asteroids, was crucial in determining the fate of various corporate factions.
