United Guilds for Democracy

The UGD was founded in 2210 shortly after the elections as part of a rebranding by the political arm of the Meiji Corporation (the Meiji Guild), formerly the only corporate guild represented within this political guild. Seeing that this was no longer the case, as the guild was made up of many guilds pushing their interests forward, Oryou Meiji and her Inner Council called for a reformation of the political guild and the creation of a new Board of Directors to head this guild; now called the United Guilds for Democracy.

The crest is backed by a golden shield, indicative of ancient fields of wheat and a general sign of prosperity. In the middle is a goat, a representation of Caprica, holy goddess of labor, who is used to show the common worker whom this guild seeks to represent. The scales, in the foreground on the official seal, represent their mission to further democratize the Empire and strike a balance between the Citizenry and the Nobility.
