The family is important mainly with the sons and the father. The rules for a
family differ from the amount of sons in it has. One son is that son represents
his family and his father in anything. If there are two, then the oldest son
represents the family and the other one is recommended to be in the military so
the family can have a standing.
Klingon Law is mainly based on honor and the laws are fair but punishments
are harsh and tough. Klingon Government is a good deal democracy with some
socialism. The government is split into the Klingon High Council, the Klingon
Military Council, the People's Council. The Klingon High Council is made of 9
members which are 3 of Military, 2 of Science, 1 of the People's Council Leader,
1 is the ambassador, 1 is the Vice Leader, then the last one is the Empire
Enforcer which is like the police leader. The government is peaceful mainly with
a very loyal society and empire. The Klingon High Council Leader is the head of
the empire, but he must have the support of the empire and of the council. The
leader must be a male, he must have a 4 year service in the military with at
least 100 battles to his name. They can be wins or looses but requires the
majority of them be victories. The Klingon Military Council is made of 3
members. The head which is also a member of the High Council and a head of the
left half of the defense The other high council member is head of the right half
of the defense. Then the People's Council is like a senate with 3 members from
each city with a population of 100,000 or more. The senate number is about 2000
members. The senate meets once a week on the fourth day. The head of it is also
a member of the High Council. Citizens are allowed to give limited comments and
suggestions not referring to a person's decisions and referring to something
else like a thing.
There are many Klingon Ceremonies, a lot for both sexes. The two most
important male ones are the Age of Ascension which is at 13 years of age. This
is when the person is known as a man and is allowed to service in military or
any other services. At that time his battles are then recorded. The one part is
the birthday which is celebrated in about 3 hours with presents and a toast by
the father and a honored guest. One thing about the honored guest is the higher
rank of the person. Gowron is liked due to he has many times been invited to
these ceremonies. The second part is that the person is put in a extremely hot
place (110 F) for about 2 hours. Ten the person is suppose to have a vision. The
vision is important. Sometimes it is of a memory of a vision of a long dead
person. Some of the lucky ones have had visions of Kahless. Then the last part
is the hunt which a party of 3. The person, the father and the honored guest go
and the male hunts with the Klingon short spear. It does not matter what animal,
but the time is important. The limit is 2 and a half hours. Then the second
important male ceremony is the Age of Induction which is at 18 years of age
which means you are allowed to enter a council or become the leader of the high
council. It is celebrated by the commanding officer. Then his the family's honor
is induced into him.
The First important female ceremony is the Age of Mate which is at 15 years
of age. The female is given a golden necklace to wear and show that she is ready
to take a mate. Then the second one is the wedding which almost everywhere is
more important with the female. The wedding is a little different. The wedding
is at the home of the Bride's Father. There is the groom whom wears the Military
Uniform or a brown robe if not in military. The bride wears a bridal dress with
it in two parts. There is no need for a required clergy or captain to conduct
it. Only the male needs to say in Klingon "I take you :The Bride's Name: for my
mate for life I shalt honor and love you". Then if the bridge accepts then she
says"I accept to be my mate for life and death I join to your honor". Then the
male and female join hands and widen their arms out and press chests then yell
in victory and then kiss. The wedding band is a gold ring with the male names'
name on the female's middle finger. If the male is in the military a small medal
with both the female's and male's name on it. If not in the military he wears a
silver ring on the middle finger with the female's name on it. Since the female
is usually as strong as the male. The male knows not to cheat, because the
female has the right if she chooses to kill or hurt him physically and fight.
The female whom he cheated with and is required to wear the wedding band. The
wedding can be dissolved by death of the other member. Then the second wedding
is the wedding band as a bronze ring or copper medal meaning the first marriage,
being the most important. The other way is by having the medals removed by
Gowron, but most matings stay together due to it is required to have the rules
known to both.
A Klingon Death is rejoiced as being happy due to they believe that their
spirit goes to Greath Hal which is for the dishonored. The funeral is only the
person is next to the death The person at least 10 minute after death then hits
the body. If honored it goes to Beher which is through once ruled by Kahless.
Then the person yells which is a warning to the death, that a warrior is
arriving to join them. Then body is considered empty.
