What is the CTA?

<aside>

The Central Trade Authority is a pseudo-governmental and highly bureaucratic organization that grew out of a postwar era from a demand for order and no stable governments after the war ended. It was intended as a temporary solution to badly managed and fragile systems and stuck around because no other powers were as organized or powerful as they were/are. Their current goal is to cling on to power as long as possible, but its authority now relies more on bureaucratic habit and paperweight regulation than genuine control.

Quick Reference Definitions

Term Definition
CTA The Central Trade Authority is a pseudo-governmental and highly bureaucratic organization that grew out of a postwar era from a demand for order and no stable governments after the war ended. “CTA” is the acronym. “Setka” is the slang word for it.
The High Directorate The High Directorate is composed of 9 rotating delegates chosen from Sectoral Oversight Boards. They are the central policy-makers and manage the most for the CTA.
Terminal Standard device for ID, contracts, and broadcasts. Comes in CIV, OP, and XTERM classes. See Terminals.
Standard Terminal Code Code set that lets every terminal interoperate across sectors. See Standard Terminal Code.
Registered worker Person with an active Market Registry ID and contract eligibility. Higher tiers unlock mobility and permits. See The Market Registry.
The Market Registry The Market Registry assigns every citizen a six-tier status: ID-class, labor-code, mobility rating, medical clearance, registry date, and access tier. They are then given an ID card that corresponds to their entry in the Registry.
Inert tag Market ID state after 18 months of inactivity; archived, lowers priority until reactivated. See The Market Registry.
The Core The Core is the largest area in the system within the inner area of the CTA. It contains the largest settlement, Navashta, and the gray, bunker-like Core Archives where physical air-gap backups are stored.
