Rules of Order for the Galactic Council
approved by members on 2/22/06
During these proceedings the member planets will now be referred to as the council. the Ambassador from LB-1748 will hold the position of Secretary
The Secretary of the council is responsible for bringing forth issues for a vote. (the goal is to have one session every week, sometimes several issues may be voted on each week)
To have an issue considered before the council, a member planet simply proposes it during that weeks deliberation. The issue must then be seconded by another member planet. The planet seconding the motion suggests wether the issue should be immediatley scheduled for a vote, or if a weeks deliberation is needed before hand. The Secretary will then schedule the issue for the council within 2 cycles (1 cycle = 1 month) at the Secretary's discretion.
Once we have enough issues to form a workable government, all members will vote wether or not to ratify* the "constitution" and elect a "leader". At this point, the council will disband and the Secretary will relinquish all authority.

It might be worth mentioning capitalism in your list of governments:
Capitalism razz eople can own their own businesses and property.
People can also buy services for private use, such as healthcare.
But most capitalist governments also provide their own education, health and welfare services.
There is also generally a public stock market, in which people can own a part or "stock" of a bussiness.
OR
As my friend puts it: "Where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer"
I dunno, you can add whatever you want.

I would apreciate it if you newbies would let me know if this was helpful, or if there are other things we can clarify in a brief summary.
Thanks.

Would you mind posting planet classifications from under Congregational rule? I know yours was 'LB' - are there any others, or should we make up our own?

I'm sorry if that was not clear, please make up your own. If we run into problems, like duplicates, we will solve that when we come to it. When you make yours up, that will be the key others must follow,
i.e. if there are any other library planets they should be LB, and no planet should be LB unless it's a Library Planet. Like if the main purpose of your planet was to farm corn I would put FM, or FC. I want us all to create this together.
