What kind government are the kerbals?

[AmpsterMan]

Well they seem to hsve no scarcity of resources, no natural needs at all, no desire for companionship and are barely sentient. I would conclude that they are like whatever the federation in star trek is, only with less danger and needs

[Mr_Duke]

I so hope there is a kerbal king, crown and all!! All hail king Jeb!

Candidates are strapped to Droogsters and participate in a race. The survivor assumes the power.

But for some reason the Presidencial palace is still empty.

They became democratic after finding a crashed human starship in the Desert, that contained a bunch of manuals and such for rockets. That is how they got all their tech.

And they also got exposed to democracy and capitalism.

Why on earth (or Kerbal for that matter) would they need a government? Aren't they goofy enough as it stands?

[JaySmoka]

None of these. Kerbals are just the Olympic commitee. "Faster, Higher, Stronger (struts)"

One thing comes to mind...Vogons.

Fortunately, Kerbin does not seem to be in any sort of peril due to the construction of an intergalactic bypass

It's coming. They've only just buried the paperwork on Vogon for the second time.

I'm reading all these philosophical quotes while listening to KSP music

Puppet government. They technically have a Congress, but it actually has no real power. Luckily for Kerbalkind, all the President wants to do is put Kerbals everywhere in the universe, in every different way imaginable, so they don't have to worry about having their civil rights and all taken away. In any case, I always thought of all the players of KSP as the directors or CEO's of different space agencies and companies, and that they can interact, share ideas, technology and stories.

That's how I think of it, anyway.

It's not so much a goverment, more like a ant state. With a goal that seems to be the opposite of reproduction.

Kerbals are a Unity. They are all naturally imprinted with 3 Laws of Kerbotics and no known understanding of common sense. They have no goals, targets, direction or a sense of self-preservation. They simply oblige to their natural pursuit of an adrenaline kick in whatever they do and they just happen to have a stockpile of rocket parts ^^

Thus they have no government. They do no concern themselves with something as trivial as leadership or politics - what matters the most is the fun they have
