Re: DS Universe question

>Is the NAC a monarchy?

Yes, though very much a constitutional one rather than an
absolute/despotic
type. The Royal Family and the Parliament are now both residing on New
Albion, the NAC's largest prime off-world colony. Each "province" of the
Confederation (the UK, Canada, North America and all the off-world
colonies) has its own legislative sub-parliament answerable to the main
one, and has a Lord Governer as the local Crown representative.
