Antarak Council

The Antarak Council, or galactic council, is one of the few political structure recognized by more than 100 independent races in the galaxy.

The Antarak Council is based on the Polite Galaxy ideology.

History
The polite galaxy and the Antarak Council are left over of the Junicki reign, which is one of earliest galactic civilization known. They spread in most of the galaxy and set their capital to Antarak. Every race under them had the chance of being represented to their government. Through time, as happen to most of the civilizations, they left interest in ruling their domains, before leaving the universe the only service executed by Junickians was the peace keeping one. Once they were gone the minor races decided to split the now empty lands and keeping, with small modifications, the political system and ideology that worked well until that moment, giving them the current names.

Description
The council can be composed by any number of members, the only requirement no race can have more than one Vote Holder.

The council has been built to regulate the the diplomatic relationship between races, and it does not enforce any kind of behavior or law to domains that are under a rightful government.

If a race does not internally agree about who should be their vote holder, it must solve the problem on their own, even if it implies civil war. The council will not interfere with this kind of conflicts.

Every 27 earth years the council elects the security council, which is composed by 8 members. The security council has the power to deploy the Polite Fleet, if all at least 7 members of them and half of the galactic council agrees in doing so.

The council owns many territory in the galaxy and it's self sufficient.

Gentle War Agreement
The gentle war agreement states that members cannot attack civilian structures, or otherwise they will suffer various kind of punishment from the council. This rule applies only if the target is a member of the council as well.
