Most authority within the Unione Corse rests in this division, or more specifically the Armed Command. While similar in many ways to a large corporation's paramilitary by responding to the Famille Senat for its actions, this branch effectively leads the Corse altogether. General: Leads the Unione Corse Armed Division. Out of character, this is the faction leader. [Limit 1] Commandant: High ranking Membres, leaders when the General is not present. Out of character, they are the official second in command, who are dedicated to the faction and understand the roleplay very well. [Limit 2] Parrain: The head of domestic matters. See Famille Senat. Out of character, this is a forum-crazy individual who understands Corse roleplay very well and is the lowest High/Armed Command rank. [Limit 1] Lieutenant: Senior Membres. Out-of-character, this rank only exists to provide a leader in combat situations where High Command members are absent. [Limit 5] Membre: Ordinary Corsican. Out-of-character, this should be the standard rank. [No limit] Aspirant: Recruit Membre. Out-of-character, someone who needs to log a few hours here and there and show that they understand the basic concepts of the faction. [No limit]
Famille Senat Title System
The Senat is a large body comprised mainly of civilians which holds the Corsican families together. It allows each of the several hundred families to have their own say whilst generally keeping them all in line. Aside from unity, the main focus of this group is on Corse domestic and financial matters, such as base maintenance and front company management. Even though their overall power is somewhat limited, it is nevertheless an important group which brings Unione to Corse. Parrain: Directs the Famille Senat, reporting to it regularly in order to account for his decisions. [Limit 1] Tribun: The five Tribuns are elected by the Senateurs to oversee the Senat and work with the Parrain. Should a Parrain leave or be dismissed, the Tribuns will appoint a new one. Outside the Senat meetings, they hold closed sessions to discuss matters privately. The Tribuns can also remove anyone in the Corse from their position should four of them agree to it. Out of character, these people understand UC's roleplay well and are advisors to the faction leader as a sort of mid-command. [Limit 5] Senateur: A head family membre, one of several hundred in the Famille Senat. A family's power in the Senat depends on their size, wealth, and history. A family gets a seat for every four membres, and as a sign of respect, those with great wealth or history vote first. Out of character, this is a simple rank that can be chosen by any Membre who wants the additional roleplay. [No limit] None: A membre who is either without a Corsican family, has been chosen not to represent their family, or holds the rank of General or Commandant. [No limit]

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
