The Socialist Global Union

The Socialist Global Union (Chinese: 社会主义的全球联盟), often shortened to the Socialist Union, is a totalitarian mechanocratic global superpower home to over four billion citizens, and is a member of the Third Solution. The Union occupies all of mainland Asia and Russia, including Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya. It is bordered by the Greater Germanic Reich to the west, the arctic circle to the the north, and by the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere to the east and south. The Union also possesses several territories across the Solar System, such as the asteroid 4 Vesta.

Government
The Union lacks a centralised governing entity, as it is held that the existence of such an entity contradicts the goals of the revolution. Instead, various ministries carry out the tasks required to sustain the Union, and it is these ministries that effectively rule the nation. No ministry has absolute power, and all are heavily regulated by semi-sapient AI that ensure that their actions do not pose a threat to the Union as a whole. The ministries have branches in every city and major town within the Union, to ensure that all the peoples of the nation have access to the services that the ministries provide.

To work in a ministry, a citizen must complete a series of evaluations to determine if they are suited to work within that particular ministry. If not, they will likely be directed towards another ministry that they are more suited to. The internal organisation of the ministries tends to be meritocratic, with impartial AI evaluating your work and placing you in the most appropriate role. Titles vary from ministry to ministry, however Zhǔxí (Chairman) is a common title for the head of a ministry. Collectively, the ministerial heads form the Union Politburo, which is the second most powerful political entity in the Union

The Overseer serves as both head of state and head of government, and is the most advanced artificial mind that the Union has ever created, and is directly responsible for controlling the various other AI systems which monitor the various ministries, and ensure that they adhere to the ideals of Zhang Shikai Thought. Although it is indeed highly advanced, it lacks emotion and true personality, and exists purely to serve the Union as a whole.
