The Republic of Ikaanos is the largest governing power on Raana, encompassing all human-inhabited regions - either governed directly by the Senate or bound to it through vassalage.
The Chancellor of the Republic holds ultimate power; his title is High Commander of the Mastersphere, and he controls the elite Ikaanian Marine Corps ("space marines").
Control over the independent-minded ground-dwellers of Ikaanos Colony is reinforced by eight relatively new military forts controlled directly by the feared Space Marines - their presence providing a daily reminder of who is in control.
All noblemen, all factions and all human settlements on Raana are officially declared as subjects of the Republic, expected to pay proper taxes in support of Chancellor Mordecai's holy task: "Spreading humanity's influence beyond the Beryll Mountains".
This is the second Republic in Ikaanos' history, hence is formally known as "The Second Republic". Unlike the first Republic, this one does not allow citizens to vote for their representatives; it is an an oligarchy, controlled by Great Houses, powerful businesses, and religious groups.
