Lehite Union

Overview
The Lehite Union is a Theodemocratic government in sector D6 led by the Chief judge who has authority in executive and judicial matters, the prophet is in charge of other executive power. The main legislation is made by two delegations of 24 and 140, the upper 24 is split between the quorum of the twelve apostles chosen by the prophet and 12 other elected delegates. The 140 is split between the quorum of the 70 and 70 other elected representatives. The chief judge is elected by the two delegations. The prophet is called as the eldest of the quorum of the twelve.

The Union follows one main religion, Christianity, but to differentiate themselves, they name it Nephitism. The book they follow is a continuously added upon book of the people of Lehi containing all their beliefs and history.

History
Beginning in 600 BCE in the southern Alabama and Mississippi a group of Israelites land on its shore, led by Lehi. Eventually the two split and the people led by Nephi went north, and the people led by Laman remained southward. The Nephites persisted there until forced to move again to Zarahemla where Mulekites already lived (Mulekites were also Israelites of a different people of Lehi). Other conflicts emerge until 421 where peace is established and the two peoples united into the Lehite Union. The people were prosperous for one thousand years until Europeans arrived on their shores, but beat back any attack made on them. Throughout the time until the formation of the Federation the Union remained peaceful with slight expansion into the Missouri River area. In the Federation, the Union was relatively peaceful with the events occurring. When the Civil war broke out, the Lehite Union declared independence from the Federation and formed the Trade Union.
