Consolidate: a geopolitical and geoeconomical union of former nations (‘Sectors’) into a singular dominion following their ratification of Economic Consolidation Acts, with a commonality of civil rights and responsibilities, as well as harmonized civil, business and criminal laws (‘Consolidate Law’). There are five Consolidates established: OmniEuropea (Capital: Europa Novus), PanAsia (Capital: Oriensia), SumAfrica (Capital: Africania), TransAm (Capital: Capitis Nova) and UniOceania (Capital: Oceanius). See chapters 1-2 of this textbook.
A Consolidate is governed by a Primus and their Consolidate Advisory Council. Following their appointment, a Primus serves a single mandate for a maximum of 35 years, baring a premature end by discommendation and removal, incapacitating health issues, or death. Members of a Consolidate Advisory Council are appointed by, and serve at the pleasure of, a Primus. See chapters 1-2 and 6 of this textbook.
Consolidate Citizenship Class (CCC): class ranking (1-10) of Consolidate citizens established by Consolidate Law and according to the framework of the Consolidate system. A CCC ranking is a function of a citizen’s gross annual income. In the case of couples, the CCC ranking resulting from their combined annual incomes applies to both individuals. This CCC ranking system serves to determine annual income taxation rates, as well as to establish sizes, groupings and leasing rates of housing units (apartments/condominiums, houses).
Only members of the Consolidate Advisory Council are ranked CCC 9, whereas only a Consolidate’s Primus is ranked CCC 10. A still living, retired Primus becomes CCC 5 with appropriate pension from their Consolidate; in the case of a discommended Primus, the rank of CCC 0 ('Null Citizenship'; see below) is imposed with restrictions and possibility of resolution as outlined by Consolidate Law. See chapter 3 of this textbook.
Consolidate Citizen: as defined by Consolidate Law, a citizen is a legal adult (18 years or older) who is not undertaking post-secondary studies or post-graduate training, but who is employed part-time or full-time. Citizens have full Consolidate rights and responsibilities, in addition to having access to all Consolidate services (see chapter 3 of this textbook).
There are also four defined non-citizenship classes (see chapter 3 of this textbook):
i) CCC 0 (‘Null Citizenship’, ‘Non-Citizen’) – any individual who has committed a crime (and served sentence) and without part-time or full-time employment, or who remains without part-time or full-time employment for more than six months, or who rejects employment offers, or who has failed to uphold citizenship responsibilities; a non-citizen must stay in a provided apartment within an enclosed/confined Grade 0 quarter of their District where basic needs (food, clothing, medicine) are supplied; a non-citizen has basic human rights but no Consolidate rights and responsibilities; a null citizenship status lasts until an individual’s unemployment status is resolved.
ii) CCC A (‘Dependent’) – any individual under 18 years old; a dependent cannot be employed and must be provided fully by the parent(s) or, depending on circumstances, the Consolidate; a dependent has basic human rights and cannot vote, but has access to applicable Consolidate services; as a future citizen, a dependent’s sole responsibility is to attend school when of age (starting at kindergarten level) and excel throughout (particularly in their chosen/determined trade, craft or field competence), while refraining from committing any minor, major, or criminal, act of delinquency as defined by Consolidate Law.
iii) CCC B (‘Non-dependent’) – any individual 18 years and older who is undertaking post-secondary studies, or post-graduate training, with the obligatory sponsorship of their Consolidate via yearly stipends; a non-dependent has basic human rights, cannot be employed and cannot vote, but has access to applicable Consolidate services; as a citizen-to-be, a non-dependent’s sole responsibility is to excel in their chosen/determined field of study/training and remain Consolidate Law abiding.
iv) CCC C (‘Charge’) – any individual 18 years and older who is medically-certified as unemployable on account of developmental, pathological or accident-resulting impairments preventing them from holding part-time or full-time employment; charges are provided fully by their Consolidate according to their medical and living-wage needs; a charge has basic human rights and cannot vote, but has access to Consolidate services and is allowed to live in a Grade 1 housing unit or any specialized care-taking facility, depending on their assessed self-reliance and physical mobility; the sole responsibility of a charge is to remain Consolidate Law abiding.
Consolidate Law: term referring to the common ensemble of constitutional, institutional and socio-economic definitions and provisions of an Economic Consolidation Act, coupled with the defined Consolidate civil rights and responsibilities, as well as the delineated Consolidate civil, business and criminal laws. Consolidate Law is the supreme law of the Consolidate world. See chapters 1-12 of this textbook.
Consolidate system: socio-politico-economical system defined and described by an Economic Consolidation Act, and which prevails in the five Consolidates. See chapters 1-12 of this textbook.
Consolidate world: term referring to the five Consolidates (OmniEuropea, PanAsia, SumAfrica, TransAm, UniOceania) and the whole of their dominions. See map below.
District: a former administrative region/county/prefecture within a Division of a Consolidate’s Sector, after ratification of an Economic Consolidation Act. Under Consolidate Law, all cities, towns, and villages within a District are governed altogether by a District Director and their Directorate, and who answer to their Division Director and Division Governing Council. The municipal level of governance is abolished under the Consolidate system. The District Director and members of the District Governing Council serve electoral mandates of 5 years, with the approval of the Primus, and up to a maximum of three mandates (consecutive or not). See chapter 6 of this textbook.
Division: a former province/state/department within a Sector of a Consolidate after ratification of an Economic Consolidation Act. Under Consolidate Law, a Division is governed by a Division Director and their Division Governing Council, and answers to their Prime Director and Sector Governing Council. The Division Director and members of the Division Governing Council serve electoral mandates of 5 years, with the approval of the Primus, and up to a maximum of three mandates (consecutive or not). See chapter 6 of this textbook.
Alternately, a Division may be made up of one or more small-sized former nations/territories, or former provinces/states/departments, for a rationalization of the division of governance and as specified in some of the ratified ECAs. For example, the former Principality of Monaco is redefined as a Division of OmniEuropea’s FranceSec. Similarly, all former Greater and Lesser Antilles nations such as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, or Jamaica, are redefined as Divisions within the CaribbeanSec of TransAm. Another example is the MaritimesDiv of TransAm’s CanadaSec, made up of the former Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.
Economic Consolidation Act (ECA): law defining the voluntary inclusion of a former country in a Consolidate, along with a constitution describing the framework of governance, the separation of powers and jurisdictions, the Consolidate Citizenship Class ranking, and the fundamental rights and responsibilities of citizens. An ECA moreover holds provisions with regards to the harmonization of constitutional, civil, business, and criminal laws between Consolidates. See chapters 1-5 of this textbook.
Geohistorical note: the ratification of ECAs around the world occurred on June 1st, 2046, resulting in the establishment of the five Consolidates. The following nations/territories did not ratify the ECAs: the Christian Republic of the United States of America (‘C.R.U.S.A.’), the United Hawaiian Freeholds (‘UHF’) and the fourteen former nations/territories comprising the geographic area known as the ‘Dread Zone’ (Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Northern Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sinai Peninsula, Southern Iran, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen).
Primus: a Consolidate’s head of state and of government. See chapter 6 of this textbook.
Sector: a former nation/country part of a Consolidate after its ratification of an Economic Consolidation Act. Under Consolidate Law, a Sector is governed by a Prime Director and their Sector Governing Council, and answers to the Primus and the Consolidate Advisory Council. The Prime Director and members of the Sector Governing Council serve electoral mandates of 5 years, with the approval of the Primus, and up to a maximum of three mandates (consecutive or not). See chapter 6 of this textbook.
Alternately, a Sector may be made up of two or more former nations/territories for a rationalization of the administrative division of governance and as specified in some of the ratified ECAs. For example, the CaribbeanSec of TransAm regroups as individual Divisions Bellas Antillas (all islands of the Lesser Antilles), Bermuda, Cuba, the Bahamas (with inclusion of the Turks and Caicos Islands), the Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico (with inclusion of the U.S. and British Virgin Islands).
