Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

AMF · #1 June 23rd, 2004, 04:05 AM

Peace has come to the quadrant. We, the Royal Corporate Commonwealth, have accepted the Dei-Orphious surrender, other antagonists are no more.

We would propose therefore the establishment of a Galactic Council to deal with any political issues that might arise in a democratic federated manner.

We propose that voting rights in this council be based upon the populations of each empire and that we deal with any political issues that might arise by 3/4 vote.

We further propose that the first issue we address, as a Council, is the rights to the Woostoid Woqua system, now largely vacant of inhabitants due to recent hostilities. We, the RCC forsake all claims to this system except we would like to colonize the 6th (VI) planet there.

OOC: so, the quadrant has just gotten over a big war, and there are a lot of players left - this might make an interesting game for playing out post-war politics, with a Galactic COuncil, etc...Just a thought...

Ps: we could use this thread for galactic news and council deliberations...

Reflection, surprise, debate. For the future.

Thermolia agrees in principle with the proposal that has been put forth. And we would like to take this opportunity to claim the 13th and 16th planets in the Wootoid Woquia system. This system is of strategic importance and now a gateway into Thermolian space.

We would like to also add an amendment to the proposal as regards to voting rights. Thermolia proposes the addition of a security council made up of three permanent members, each of whom would have a veto. 2 additional members would be voted in each fifty cycles and serving no more than two consecutive terms. These voted in members would also have a veto. The duty of the Security Council would be to maintain the security of known space. And as a secondary function, it would be the duty of this council to develop a plan for controlling the levels of armament that exist across the galaxy.

All votes would be 1 empire 1 vote, with all maters of security being decided by the Security Council.

Who would be the security council members under this proposal?

And shouldn't votes be given proportionally to population, at least in the "lower house" and according to afixed number in the security council (or is there an "upper house" in this scheme?)

You all seem to be forgetting my contributions. How big would your empires be if I had been on vacation a little longer?

Gentleman, the race is on to colonize planets.
May we embrace true diversity and share more systems together.

We're not forgetting it at all. WE certainly feel that your empire deserves the lion's share of the spoils, no doubt. We just want to make it all a bit more orderly...
