	'''Civil Rights''': Not much can be said about the rights of Excelsior that isn’t immediately obvious. Mind control implants are mandatory, and the levels of autonomy between Three Circles are unknown. From the New Mans Doctrine, it can be assumed that any kind of hedonistic and carnal desire is heavily suppressed within the minds of the implanted citizenry. Subsequently, according to the Technomancer, spiritual thought and development are suppressed.		'''Civil Rights''': Not much can be said about the rights of Excelsior that isn’t immediately obvious.

−	'''The Three Circles''': From the various reports, it can be assumed that Excelsior is organized into three distinctive castes of society, each serving a specifically designated role. It has to be noted that the exact structure of Excelsior society is not yet known, even from Technomancer records, and as such, the so-called Frontier Circle and The ~~Heaven~~ are subjected to heavy speculation.

It has to be noted that the exact structure of Excelsior society is not yet known, even from Technomancer records, and as such, the so-called Frontier Circle and The Haven are subjected to heavy speculation. Nevertheless, the circles are as follows:

	* '''The Apex Circle''': Group of personnel with which almost all of the known Galaxy is accustomed and are the only part of the Excelsior most of the population will hear about. They are the infiltrators, saboteurs, “border guards” of the Gagarin Sector, combat vessel personnel, and occasionally traders and diplomats. They are equipped with Implants with quite broad autonomy.		* '''The Apex Circle''': Group of personnel with which almost all of the known Galaxy is accustomed and are the only part of the Excelsior most of the population will hear about. They are the infiltrators, saboteurs, “border guards” of the Gagarin Sector, combat vessel personnel, and occasionally traders and diplomats. They are equipped with Implants with quite broad autonomy.
	* '''The Frontier Circle''': The supposed “core” of the Excelsior society. Those are the people that are considered civilians, or “Grey Mass,” as called by the Technomancers League, due to their uniform gray clothing. The Frontier Circle is responsible for all of the production, agriculture, science, and art. The civilian population inhabits mostly migratory stations and ships, all of which are painted with various artistic murals.		* '''The Frontier Circle''': The supposed “core” of the Excelsior society.

−	* '''The ~~Heaven~~''': Undisputably the most poorly understood group of the Excelsior that is known of. Part of their structures supposedly held in the utmost importance. It is only suspected whether ~~Heaven~~ is the leadership of Excelsior, a capital or a logistics hub connecting all of the Kursalin technology.	+	* '''The Haven''': Undisputably the most poorly understood group of the Excelsior that is known of.

−	'''Governing Ideology''': While there’s no more unified ideology within the Confederacy itself due to the lack of unified government, many of the planet states retain an ideological imprint of the Pan-Danubian manifesto still lingers within the collective minds of broken populations. The culture of the Confederacy has been shaped entirely by its proximity to and rivalry with Nanotrasen and an absolute desire to be an antithesis to Nanotrasen and one up all of their achievements. Where Nanotrasen promoted lavish lives full of ecstasy and mass expenditure, Danubians had imposed upon themselves ascetic life, free of compulsions and distractions that would muddle the mind. Religions were tossed to the side. To contradict corporate order fueled by greed and money, the Confederation adopted a strong nation-state fueled by people’s willpower and abandoned currency usage. Backstabbing, corruption, and indifference were scrutinized, and Loyalty with Companionship was lauded. Most of all, however, Danubians couldn’t cope with Nanotrasens utopian accelerationism. To constantly grasp new things, abandoning the old, abandoning any semblance of grandeur for future generations to remember humanity by. And as such, Danubians built and strived for monumentality in all things. Massive architectural and scientific wonders littered the Danubian space, solidifying the memory of the great civilization that was the Danube Confederation.	+	'''Governing Ideology''': While there’s no more unified ideology within the Confederacy itself due to the lack of unified government, many of the planet states retain an ideological imprint of the Pan-Danubian manifesto that still lingers within the collective minds of broken populations.

	'''Diplomacy''': No strict diplomacy policy exists anymore due to the lack of a central government. However, new and old animosities and loyalties remain in the consciousness of remaining. Technomancers, despite their proclaimed neutrality, are considered a friendly nation in the eyes of Danubians. Hansa is almost universally hated due to the actions of Ironhammer, but begrudgingly many planet states maintain trade relations with it. Neotheology and Galpolka are considered religious freaks and fanatics. Founders are still accepted among many Planet-states, although disliked by Serbian and Bulgarian governments. Excelsior is universally considered a terrorist organization. There are no relations with Dai Social Mandate nor Oberth.

−	Danube Confederacy is a former federate state stretching most of the Danube Sector. Currently in a state of warlord anarchy due to government collapse during Corporate Wars and mass devastation inflicted by Nanotrasen, and currently being inflicted by Ironhammer Expeditionary Fleet Baltia performing pacification tasks. First settled by the colonists from Balkan Armada, who in 2300 had finished their journey, Danube Sector eventually rose to prominence as an interstellar superpower after the unification of planetary states by the Bulgarian government. Posing themselves as the primary international rival to Nanotrasen, they played an instrumental role in their collapse, providing crackdown-free haven and funding for many anti-Nanotrasen terrorist groups such as Excelsior or Founders, which eventually lead to its eventual collapse, as many planets with a strong influence of the Founders started ~~succeeding~~ when the situation in the Danube turned dire. The Colossus of Danube has been mauled and laid dormant, but the furnaces of Predestraza and Valna and the wrath born from its suffering will echo across the whole of Hansa.	+	Danube Confederacy is a former federate state stretching most of the Danube Sector.

−	* '''Conclave of Archwiitnesses and ranks''': Only those who can claim and verify that God himself had spoken to them can claim the title of becoming an Archwitness.

It is assumed by many, even those in Neotheology, that Manufactoriums are managed solely by the mysterious Angels alone. Only resources and heavily defended transports with finished machines enter and leave those church-like monumental structures.		* '''Manufactorium''': Branch of Neotheology entirely responsible for producing the holy machinery.

All monks must take on vows of silence that prohibit them from communicating with the rest of humanity.

	'''Diplomacy''': Due to the expansionist nature of Neotheology, most factions in the explored galaxy treat the Church and its followers with unease or outright hostility. This mainly applies to Hansa because Neotheology is an organization existing almost exclusively within the borders of the HTU. Due to the accumulated power of the Church, the Megacorporations can no longer make use of controlled suppression without entering into a direct large-scale conflict. As such, both superpowers exist in a state of Cold War, with many fearing it will one day turn hot. Founders, Excelsior, Dai Social Mandate, and Galpolkan Tribunal are respectively considered Lunatics, Degenerates, Pagans, and Heretics, and NT is openly hostile towards them. At the same time, Technomancers League and Oberth have neutral relations, with the former taking actions to reduce Neotheology's influence on clans.

−	'''Stance on Technology''': All research advances are considered heretical and therefore banned. AI, no matter the complexity, Mutation, Cybernetics, Psykers, and Synthetics are strictly prohibited. All the necessary tech is invented and provided to humanity by God himself, and only Manufactorium has the privilege to replicate it for the needs of the Neotheology followers. Respectively all gifted machines are to be venerated and cherished. Human only requires the form gifted to them by God at birth, he only needs the sacred Cruciform protecting believers’ soul, and only God’s holy angels should perform more automated tasks.	+	'''Stance on Technology''': All research advances done by members of Neotheology are considered heretical and therefore banned.
