Union of Mecholife/Government

Concrete Council
The Concrete Council is the governing body of the UM. It is made up of 25 Concilors, who collectively decide the fate of the UM. Only the Concrete Council can officially declare war on another species, and only the Concrete Council can officially make an alliance with another species. They are the voice of the people in the GUMS, and truly do speak the minds of their people for they were voted in by the people they now lead. That is why all titles are dropped when they are in the council chambers, and no councilor has the right to ask another to bow to them, or call them by their "formal" name. They are all equals.

Councilors
The UM Councilors are well known among their own species, and trusted by all species to be the voices of the UM. While they may be extremists in some ways, they are collective a cool, intelligent, and wise group of people.

The States
Because the UM are of such a diverse nature, they chose to sub-divide themselves into 10 States, one for each known archetype. These states are part of the Wentals and bow to the UM government, but only in the manner that religions bow to the US government. When a new Supreme Captain Commander is chosen, these are the 10 entities who are represented by the potential leader. If their leader is chosen as the UM leader, they gain more influence over events.

NextGen Party
Usually the most active party, the NextGen Party cares about what the future will hold. They seek to ensure the continuity of public education, welfare programs, and the like. Broke off from the Homeland Party when they stopped compromising with the Warclan Party.

The Family
The Family Party, generally called the Family, is a newer, but powerful, party. Usually the peacekeepers and voice of reason in the government, the Family is growing fast. Seeks to ensure public education, welfare, and military is all help up and intact. Wishes to shrink the government in other manners (like the number of people involved) and has big plans for the future.

Warclan Party
Seeking out war (in the name of defense, of course) and always looking to expand the military while limiting government activity, the Warclan Party contradicts itself all the time but never seems to care. Dislikes all other parties.

Homeland Party
The Homeland Party cares about the people and homeland defense more then most other topics, and holds great animosity with the Warclan Party. (Would be the Democratic Party in the USA)
