Atapas-atta-wapawab (Polity) Synopsis

Grand Council of Crèches: The governing body within Bwap culture that presides over the formation and continued existence of Bwap crèches.

Most Imperial authorities view the Atapas-atta-wapawab more as an administrative department within Bwap culture than an actual political entity, and so have not acted against its influence.

Atapas-atta-wapawab (Polity) Goals

Bwaps take great pride in their highly-ordered society. Each individual enjoys being one small, functional cog in a vast, ever-changing universe of interlinked patterns. Bwaps feel that real civilization is ordered like Bwap society is...

The goals of Bwap society are to:

  • To establish a Bwap (bureaucratic) order on the entire universe.
  • To survive and prosper within the universe.

When Bwaps keep books, follow laws, establish records, etc. ...Bwaps are performing one of the key duties of Bwapkind: to establish order in the universe.

Atapas-atta-wapawab (Polity) Government & Politics

The Atapas-atta-wapawab is characterized as having a high degree of centralization, which sets uniform policies that direct the entire multi-system state and disregards local (planetary) differences. The Atapas-atta-wapawab government is usually classified as a Federal Republic, a form of a Unitary State, with theocratic tendencies.

Atapas-atta-wapawab Theocracy?

Some Imperial political scientists feel that many to most governments are Government Code D (13) Religious Dictatorships, but if they are, there seem to be very few complaints from Bwaps, which would be uncharacteristic of religious dictatorships. Others feel that those political scientists supporting the religious dictatorship theory are misguided by anthropocentrism and a lack of cultural relativism.

What is for certain, is that Bwaps have a highly-ordered society with a very defined role for each and every Bwap. Bwaps seem to understand these social intricacies with a natural ease that confounds other sophonts. A Bwap always seems to know where and to whom to go to get anything done within Bwap society. And Bwap culture, even across their many different worlds, is remarkably uniform with the vast majority of Bwaps showing a strong dedication to it.
