===== Overview =====

{{ :bildschirmfoto_2023-07-15_um_22.31.06.png?200|}}

  * **Founding Date:** 2632 (under the first administration of [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]])  
  * **Headquarters:** [[federal_allotment_agency_building|Federal Allotment Agency Building]], SE Civic Ring Road 1, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]  
  * **Jurisdiction:** All reservations of the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]] (New Kourou, Firetown, Hope, and Morningstar)  
  * **Oversight:** Operates under the mandate of the [[civil_code|Civil Code]] and executes [[gaia_system|GAIA’s]] Annual Plan within the limits of the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]]  

The Federal Allotment Agency (FAA) is the governing institution of the [[allottment_cards|Allotment System]], the core of the [[communardism|Communard economic system]]. Founded in 2633, the FAA manages both material resources (food, goods, energy) and [[the_humans|Exohuman]] resources (job assignments, education paths) across the Confederation. All allocations are calculated by the [[gaia_system|GAIA system]] as part of the Annual Plan, ensuring ExoHuman society operates within the restrictions of the Peace Treaty.  

===== History =====

==== Founding (2632–2633) ====
In the aftermath of the [[great_war|Great War]], currency was abolished and private property dissolved under Communard reforms. To stabilize resource scarcity and comply with the Peace Treaty, the FAA was established in 2633 as the central authority for economic allocation. The [[federal_allotment_agency_building|FAA Building]] in New Kourou became its headquarters.  

==== Consolidation of the Allotment System ====
The FAA quickly expanded its role beyond food and goods distribution. By 2634, it supervised the entire Confederation’s productive industries, Allotment Centers, and waste recycling systems. GAIA’s algorithms, backed up by [[shellac_records|Shellac Records]], calculated quotas, job assignments, and educational placements, ensuring every citizen’s labor and training aligned with the Annual Plan.  

==== Gamma Age Role ====
Throughout the Gamma Age, the FAA remains one of the most powerful institutions of the Confederation. Its authority extends into every household and workplace, as it determines what citizens consume, where they work, and what students study. While praised for ensuring survival under treaty restrictions, critics see the FAA as a symbol of over-centralization and the loss of individual autonomy.  

===== Core Responsibilities =====
  * **Annual Plan Enforcement:** Implement GAIA’s Annual Plan and ensure compliance with Peace Treaty quotas.  
  * **Resource Distribution:** Allocate goods, energy, and raw materials through Allotment Cards and Centers.  
  * **Job Assignment:** Match citizens to jobs based on skills, education, and Confederation needs.  
  * **Education Placement:** Decide study subjects for students and vocational training for graduates.  
  * **Facility Oversight:** Supervise Allotment Centers, production plants, and waste recycling systems.  
  * **Compliance and Enforcement:** Investigate fraud, misuse of Allotment Cards, and quota violations.  
  * **Documentation:** Maintain Shellac Record archives as tamper-proof backups of GAIA calculations.  

===== Subordinate Institutions and Programs =====
The FAA mandates and oversees a broad network of federal industries and service systems, including:  
  * [[federal_allottment-center|Federal Allotment Center]]  
  * [[federal_courier_service|Federal Courier Service]]  
  * [[federal_food_plant|Federal Food Plant]]

  * [[federal_geothermal_power_plant|Federal Geothermal Power Plant]]  
  * [[copper_mine|Federal Copper Mine]]

===== Legacy and Impact =====
  * **Centralization of Resources:** The FAA became the backbone of the planned economy, ensuring survival under extreme scarcity.  
  * **Integration with GAIA:** It entrenched GAIA as the supreme arbiter of resource and labor allocation.  
  * **Control over Lives:** By deciding jobs and education, the FAA shaped every ExoHuman’s future from childhood.  
  * **Symbol of Communardism:** Praised as a guarantor of equality, but also criticized as an emblem of total control and loss of autonomy.  

===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
The FAA is not only about ration cards — it is about control over destiny. PCs may be sent here by the [[federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff]] to investigate fraud, corruption, or unrest tied to the Annual Plan:  

  * **The Skewed Assignments:** Citizens protest unfair job assignments traced back to falsified Shellac Records. The PCs must uncover who tampered with GAIA’s output.  
  * **The Quota Breach:** A miscalculated quota threatens to break the Peace Treaty’s energy limits. PCs are tasked with finding whether it was sabotage or systemic failure.
