United Planetary Government

The United Planetary Government (UPG) is the centralized government of all human controlled space and only in times of war does it answer to the CMC.

Structure
The UPG is structured similarly to the Arcadia Government of the DeadLands Crisis. Each planet with a significant civilian population elects a representative to become a Member of Parliament. These MP's form the House of Commons.

The UPG is divided into;
 * The Prime Minister, the elected head of the UPG
 * The Council of Lords
 * The House of Commons

Economy
Although the war has taken its tole on the Galaxy, the overall economy has grown since the initial decline at the start of the war. Leading to great prosperity throughout the human controlled space.

Currency
The currency of the UPG is officially the Standard Credit. Usually shortened to "Credit". The introduction of the credit came about during the formation of the UPG to further unite the Human colonies.

Cost of Resources
Due to the massive expansion of human controlled space, the standard cost of most basic resources is incredibly cheap. Materials such as ores, water, biological material and fuel are drastically cheaper than the past. This has allowed the rapid and cheap construction of previously extremely expensive ships, weapons, buildings and space stations.

Real World
During the GOD war 1 Standard Credit is worth roughly $1.34 or £1 in the real world.
