 The Trattorians have strived to maintain an uneventful and orderly history. The nation began a thousand years ago when the initial population, once part of a larger extragalactic empire, was space-dropped onto a habitable planet at the fringe of the [[Nehellium Galaxy]] along with blueprints for war-machines and resources. They began building, and within a few years, launched a spaceship into the next system. For the most part, the colonization has been unstoppable for hundreds of years since then until it plateaued at 150 systems a few decades ago. One major incident was the AI Rebellion 300 years ago, which resulted in prohibitions and regulations on sentient AI and cybernetics that persist to this day and also explain the current inefficient usage of minifigs in the Armed Forces. Five colony systems, the farthest away, broke away a little later in the chaos to form the [[Paladins against the Peaches]].
-Several centuries of rebuilding and peace ensued, and Trattoria was close to regaining its former pre-AI Rebellion status. Another shock came in the form of an intelligence director by the name of [[Kaiserin Siri|Siri]], who briefly overthrew the government of Trattoria, established herself as kaiserin, and temporarily made Trattoria a member of the [[Third Alliance]]. She was assassinated in early G.R. 2014, however, reverting Trattoria to its prior meritocratic/democratic government and policies. Trattoria also conquered 50 colony systems from [[Valoros]], committing several acts of ethnic cleansing and other minifig rights violations, before giving up control over the Annex voluntarily after severe AN Minifig Rights Council criticism.
+Several centuries of rebuilding and peace ensued, and Trattoria was close to regaining its former pre-AI Rebellion status.
 The Science Department formed a classified agency known as the Black Box Bureau several years ago to deal with unscientific or magical anomalies and study their destruction and rectification. The BBB had a paramilitary arm known as the Trattorian Recovery Force, which consisted of hand-picked elite conscripts with access to the most advanced weapons teknology that the Science Department does not normally trust or permit soldiers to use. The TRF conducted operations to recover and destroy anomalies, particularly before other groups such as [[RARCom]], the [[Scythian Empire|Scythian Office of Naval Intelligence]], and the Magicians Alliance. The BBB engaged in several controversial practices, including operating in foreign countries and sometimes even using anomalies in missions in defiance of its own mission statement. The [[Trattorian Characters#Director-General Dr. Mikoto|Mikoto]] Incident, in which an anomalous esper killed several people on the homeworld, brought anomalies and the BBB's activities to light. After Chief Scientist [[Trattorian Characters#Chief Scientist Dr. Liang|Dr. Liang]] unsuccessfully attempted a coup in response, the Legislative Committee on Science decided to reassign the TRF to the Armed Forces Department and bring public oversight to the BBB to ensure the prevention of further abuses or another incident. The BBB's existence and certain related documents were declassified on the authority of [[Trattorian Characters#Legislator Nakahara|Dr. Nakahara]] and [[Trattorian Characters#Chief Attorney Suzuki|Dr. Suzuki]], Chair of the Legislative Committee on Science and the Chief Attorney.

 At the onset of the AN-TA War, Trattoria took an active role in the Allied Nations. Under Siri's coup, however, Trattoria joined the Third Alliance for a short time, until her assassination and the restoration of the prior government. President Kuroki returned Trattoria to its old partners, the Anti-Immortal Alliance and [[NATO]].
 Although politicians and diplomats are prominent in Trattorian society, the real power rests with the scientists. Prioritizing economic growth over military strength, the scientists have attained a near extra-legal status though their role in shifting the LRAS and increasing the GDP through research and development. At the forefront of the galactic scientific community, the science department of Trattoria has produced such wonders as perfect age-reversing miracle-cures, galaxy-destroying neutrina bombs, a complete physical Theory of Everything, and deadly chlorine-trifluoride throwers among countless other innovations. The Science Department also conducts true inter-galactic voyages, with a firm hold on three colony systems in the Andromeda Galaxy.

 The Meritocratic Republic of Trattoria is a Tek Level 7 galactic superpower spanning 150 star systems with a strong emphasis on science and economics. It enforces a strict meritocracy, requiring successful completion of a technical Ph.D. for citizenship and conscripting academic failures into the military. Thanks to having one of the most extensive and well-supported scientific research communities in the galaxy, Trattoria also enjoys one of the largest and most prosperous economies. Its primary exports are advanced teknology, pharmaceuticals, AI/robotics, quantum computing, financial services, and also anime.

 Two elected Legislators represent each district in the unicameral Legislature, for a total of 100 members. The Legislature drafts and votes on laws and is non-partisan (no political parties)- each Legislator stands for him/herself and his/her own platform, although the Legislature is relatively homogeneous in ideology in comparison to other nations' parliaments and congresses. The Legislature is empowered to declare war, pass the budget, and annex and determine the status of new territories. It elects a Speaker of the Legislature from the body to chair meetings and enforce procedure, usually the most senior Legislator. Legislators are paid little but usually own a fortune from a previous occupation. Any Trattorian Citizen may run, but the final candidates list on the ballot is sometimes trimmed with a science/mathematics examination. The votes of Legislative districts are weighted by their economic contribution, with each district's two Legislators splitting equally.

 Each department is led by a Chief official and usually a ruling council: notable ones include the Chief Comptroller and the Board of Governors for the Economics Department, the Chief Scientist and the Council of Scientists for the Science Department, the Chief Ambassador and the ambassadors to the [[BrikVerse]]'s G8 nations for the Foreign Relations Department, the Chief Stratego for the Armed Forces Department, the Chief Attorney for the Legal Department, and the Chief Chancellor for the Education Department. Each Department usually possesses further subdivisions- the Science Department has Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering sub-Departments, for example. In the event of presidential assassination, the line of succession is the Vice President, the Speaker of the Legislature, and then the Chief cabinet officials in the order introduced above. The executive branch would avoid the last outcome however, as an ambitious Chief cabinet official could abuse the presidency's powers and seize control over the other Departments and Trattoria.

 The Armed Forces’ enlisted ranks consist of conscripted sub-citizen soldiers. On the other hand, due to mistrust of both AIs and sub-citizen conscripts, high command consists of Strategos. Strategos are Trattorian Citizens who are usually technical experts in mathematics, statistics, or machine learning to maintain the tactical algorithms that do most of the decisionmaking.

 Trattoria highly values intelligence and academic prowess, believing intellectual acuity to be the key to its prosperity. Consequently, Trattorian citizenship requires a Ph. D. that satisfies national education standards, which is most easily achieved through attending a Trattorian university or an approved foreign institution (which are consistently ranked among the highest in the Brikverse, paid for entirely by the government for prospective citizens). After completing such rigorous training, a Trattorian citizen is then entitled to a near-utopian lifestyle free of crime, poverty, sickness, hunger, etc. with a usual median salary of around seven to eight figures. Combined with heavy under-population, plentiful resources, and Level 7 Tek, the Allied Nations consistently ranks Trattoria as having one of the highest qualities of life in the Brikverse.

 Trattorians have demonstrated technological prowess in its military forces compared to other star nations, having built [[SHIP]]s and [[SHDT]]s, along with other classified black-ops projects and more mundane upgrades to the rest of the military. However, although Trattorians suffer from persistent underpopulation and a fragile physiology, it makes up for this weakness with a vast teknological and manufacturing base that produces a vast heavily automated and robotic armed forces. Even so, due to Trattorians' distaste and apathy for war, the best [[teknology]] is usually reserved for the Citizens and the civilian sector.

 In January of G.R. 2017, after several years of lobbying from the [[Sun Engineering Corporation]] that included extensive prototype units, limited field testing, and a proof of concept in the [[The Free Systems of Sheodar|Free Systems of Sheodar]], the Trattorian Legislature finally caved and passed the Army Automation Appropriations And Authorization Act (A6). The A6 lifted several longstanding regulations on military drones that were passed after the AI Rebellion 300 G.R.'s ago, contracting [[Sun Engineering Corporation]], [[Misaka Analytics]], and several others to develop new automated drone units to vastly expand the Trattorian military. The sub-citizen conscripts were kept as minifig supervisors of these new drone units to assuage public concerns, and the Armed Forces Department was heavily reorganized. The Army, Navy, Fighter Force, and Marine branches all merged into a single unified command structure with Stratego as the unified command rank.
