Federation of United Planets

History
The Federation was created during the Galactic Civil War to coordinate the attack effort against the tyranny of the Overlords. After the war was over, the United Planets was created to help keep the peace within the galaxy and defend neutral planets from enemys like Ceto.

Governance
Each of the major organizaitons that helped win the Galactic Civil War get one vote per planet on all laws passed by the United Planets, though some believe votes should be based on Population. The agenda is created by the Chair of the United Planets, a diplomat, who oversees the speechs and votes made by the Federation.

The Federation of United Planets can pass laws regarding any subject that are binding for any planets that are within the Federation. However, all laws related to science, research, and tech related matters must be approved by the Galactic Universities.

The Treaty that formed the Federation says all those organizations that administer planets are welcome to take part in the federation.

Federation Parliment
The Parliment is ruled over by a chair, who is elected and must be a diplomat.


 * The chair is elected to serve 3 round terms.
 * At any time a new chair can be elected after the federation passes a motion of no confidence.
 * The chair breaks all ties.

The chair sets the agenda for each session.


 * The agenda outlines what laws are to be voted on in what order.
 * The chair must announce the agenda before the meeting begins.
 * The agenda can be ammended by a motion to table, a motion to close debate, or a motion to propose.
 * Except for these motions, the speaker may move forward with whatever topics or votes they wish, as long as they were on the agenda.

Debate follows Parliamentary Procedure until the chair ends the session and a motion to adjourn passes.
