About the Kris
Kris Shena is an alliance of several organized clans of Romani scattered throughout the 'verse. There are other groups out there such as Shadow Clan (Ushal Vitsi), but this is the Largest and most politically influential group known.
Organization
The Kris Shena is the governing body of most of the Romani in the verse. The Kris Shena Romani are a Voluntaryist Republic with Capitalistic Leanings. It has a unicameral house known as The Congress. The Congress is made up of anywhere from 250 to 500 members who are selected form familia units within each clan to represent their group. They get together when necessary to discuss anything that might affect those Romani who chose to belong to the Kris. Once the Congress comes to a decision it is sent out in the form of a referendum vote to every Romani aged 16 and over to get a consensus. The vote is always a yes or no vote. A yes vote means that the person approves. A no vote means that the person voting has no confidence in the question. The question then goes to the Council of Elders (Kris Rege) whom vote to approve or disapprove of said bill.
When the Romani interact with other governmental bodies they send a Voivode or a 'Prince' to act as Ambassador. These Voivode have no power to speak for all the Romani, but they work as a go between with either the Congress or the Kris to come to some decision. The Kris Rege can often make executive decisions that have to be made immediately and cannot wait for a full vote of the people. They are the Judges and jury of high criminal acts and mediators for high profile civil problems within the Romani. Some of the lower adjudication is delegated to the 9th Division of the Kris Shena Churara who hold Tribunals for Criminal Acts and are the 'peace keepers' of the Romani.
Each Clan has their own Rom Boro also known as Rege (grandfather) who handles local items. Each Familia has it's own leader. Most Clan populations have almost equal numbers living on planet and those who chose to remain nomadic and live on large older ships.
