 The Federal Allotment Agency (FAA) Building is the headquarters of the [[federal_allotment_agency|Federal Allotment Agency]], the institution responsible for managing the [[allottment_cards|Allotment Card System]] at the heart of the [[communardism|Communard economy]]. Established in 2633 under [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]], the FAA distributes resources across the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]], supervises [[federal_allottment-center|Federal Allotment Centers]], and enforces economic regulations calculated by the [[gaia_system|GAIA system]].
+All allocations — from food and medicine to workforce and education — are calculated by GAIA as part of the Confederation’s Annual Plan, ensuring that the economic and social framework remains within the strict limits imposed by the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]].
 ===== History =====
-The FAA and its headquarters were established in 2632 as part of the [[communards|Communards]]' reforms following the [[great_war|Great War]]. With traditional currency systems abolished, the Confederation required a new central authority to oversee resource allocation.
-The FAA Building was constructed from salvaged [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] materials, reflecting the pragmatic approach of early Gamma Age institutions. Since then, it has overseen the annual distribution of Allotment Cards, enforced compliance with federal quotas, and managed crisis response when shortages threatened Confederation stability.

+From its foundation, the FAA became the instrument through which the Peace Treaty’s restrictions were translated into the daily lives of ExoHumans, with GAIA calculating how resources, labor, and education must be allocated each year.
+Since then, it has overseen the annual distribution of Allotment Cards, enforced compliance with quotas, and determined job assignments and study paths for all citizens — tasks central to maintaining Confederation stability.

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-The FAA Building feels austere and disciplined. Alloy walls are painted in muted greys, illuminated by harsh strip lights. Filing cabinets line the corridors, while Shellac Record archives click and hum in secure rooms, duplicating GAIA’s data for tamper-proof storage. Deputies patrol steadily, while citizens queue in silence at reception counters to resolve allotment issues or disputes. The air smells faintly of ink, paper, and recycled metal.
