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?)

RCC

I would say that the three surviving superpowers should be the permanent members. Cyber Collective, Royal Corporate Commonwealth, and Citizen Federation would be the three as of right now.

As to votes, each race should be given an equal voice in day to day business. But on maters of security, the superpowers have the biggest stick and therefore the loudest voice.

That's certainly acceptable to us.

Now...is the disposition of the Woostoid Woqua system to be addressed in an orderly fashion, or is it still a "race to colonize"?

Our empire is in shambles and it will take years to rebuild to the glory we once had. But with the help of our alliance members it can be done. Getting some order to our systems is first task at hand, having all of our colonies spread out like butter on bread is hurting our people. But we shall complete a ship in the months to come that will enable us to restructure our space and get things in order.

We would suggest the creation of a Council force composed of Warp-opener ships that can assist your empire in this process. We've got at least one we could committ to such an endeavour.

Please don't forget Eysk. He was there fighting and helping.

Eysk Imperial Guard is ready to openly collaborate with other races of Galactic Council and will be glad to join the Council. Distribution of votes according to the empire population amount is acceptable. However, 5 members, able to use right of the veto is too much in our opinion. 3 elective members (elected once a year or so) is better.

So long as the status of Woostroid Woqua is dabated, I'm deputed to claim our rights to the planets: Woostroid II, III and XIII. It's our trophies captured during the military operation in this system. At the same time we are ready to discuss the sale or exchange of this planets to any interested empire.

We have a special proposal for RCC: we could convert any number of asteroids inside your territory to planets in exchange for colonies in Mannurepha system. Approx. exchange rate: 2 converted planet to 1 existing colony. Please contact us if you're interested.

If RCC will refuse and if any other empire will find such services useful, our fast and seflsustained stellar manipulators could create a planet, open or close warp points for you in any sector of the known galaxy for a reasonable price. Just let us know.[Shameless ad ]

Edit: just read the comments and I agree that Cyber Collective, Royal Corporate Commonwealth, and Citizen Federation are the best pretender to call themselves "The Council Core" (with veto right) even without elections and such.

I would like to lodge to all who read here a formal request to refrain from colonizing planets in systems formerly controlled by Electrum, that are now in Wendigo control; as members of the alliance in which the wendigo are part of undoubtly know, although we have inherited vast planets and fleets with unimaginable power and riches, our planets are in chaos and in continous rioting, which has crippled our economy; we expect that we will need to colonize more planets within our systems once our current social problems subside, but we will not be able to do so, should some of our more aggresive allies decide to claim uninhabited planets in aforementioned systems, which to our estimation, will cause only unnecessary aggravation on both parties and, I am afraid to say, forced removal of, from this moment on we shall refer as, squatter colonies.

Although us Wendigo had not a big part in the removal of Electrum and the Deis, we believe we should rightfully receive what is now rightfully ours.

We have already recieved communication from the Cyber Collective demanding that we begin in earnest demilitarization and hand over one of our fleets, comprised of 60 to 70 warships for compensation. We have already responded that we will not stand for such attempts at subjugation from our own allies, and we say here that we will not stand for any further attempts from any other empire.

Although that we have just mentioned will now be the official policy of the Wendigo, we understand that many of our allies have had planets taken from them, ships and fleets destroyed by Electrum, and had put into effect immeasurable efforts to bring him down, and that they want to be recompensated for it. As of this moment, those nations that demand recompensation shall have their voices heard, and shall have what they demand, as long as they demand reasonably.

And pertaining to this council matter, the Wendigo, following our policy of neutrality and/or humanitarian participation, hereby declare that we will have no part with the Galactic Council, and declare that decisions of the Galactic Council shall have no effect in Wendigo space. However, we recognize the council's rights to the system of Woostroid Woqua, and shall follow the will of the council, according to our own discretion.

OoC: I'll be moving at the end of the month, so if you want your recompensation, ask now.
