All right. Say we've got two main powers. They are allied, and trade freely between their two lands, but they have two completely separate governments.

There are also a number of sattelite villages; six colonies, really. They are separate from the two main powers, and each has its own laws, but not separate government.

There is a Council, where various leaders from the two main powers and representatives from each of the six colonies meet up to regulate trade and laws between the two powers and the colonies. The Council is also the Ruling Order for the colonies; while the six colonies may have their own rules and cultures, they each answer to the Council.



I'm looking into various government systems and economies for each of these lands. Over the next few weeks, I'll be throwing a variety of options and thoughts out to you guys. I'd like to bounce them off of you, if I could. Any ideas or suggestions you might have will be invaluable to me; any information or perspectives that I might not be aware of for the different systems would be equally appreciated.

Thank you.
