New Suns Republic - Systems

The New Suns Republic can be broken up into 3 different and distinct regions. This division has occurred less because of the usual societal stressors that one sees within nation states (racial tensions, economic disparity, social inequality, etc...) and more to simple things as locations or choices made early in the nation's history by leadership both on a Federal level and local one by system governors.

The first region is the Republic itself. These are systems that when the Uprising ended all agreed to the formation of the nation and the rules of it's membership. These systems benefit the most from the advancements that the NSR has made over the last 400+ years. Most are connected in some way by the Krasnikov Gates, the S-LPC Network, and the protection of the NSRAF.

The next region, while being considered part of the Republic, has always seen itself differently simply because of its role in the NSR's interstellar relations. The systems part of what's know as the "Trail" (or BiFrost in the Comstar codes), are systems that are key in being able to navigate to and from the NSR to the Inner Sphere. These systems helped maintain the navigation beacons and relay systems that allowed ships to travel the vast distance. Without them, commerce would be otherwise impossible. However, because of their role, they are also key strategic targets. Both the "mainland" and the systems along the "trail" know this and over time this has created a bit of a cultural divide.

The final region or classification is a bit more stark in its differences from the first two. The systems belonging to what's know as the Frontier are worlds that, on paper are part of the NSR, but that have either cut ties or contact was lost. During the chaos of the Uprising, many of the Corporate powers either abandoned outposts or hid them. Some systems, decided that they didn't want to trade their hard won independence by joining another government. Other systems were taken over by warlords or just wanted to go it alone. In many cases, the NSR kept them on record as being NSR systems to protect them from any Inner Sphere interference, but otherwise respected their wishes and left them alone. However, with the oncoming threat from the Scorpion Empire and attacks from other outside sources, the NSR has begun trying to reach out to these systems again.
