Asari Republics

The Asari Republics are collectively one of the major nations in Citadel Space; actually a coalition of asari republican governments with a tradition of true and total democracy. While the asari's elcor neighbours are content with their home system and a small handful of colonies, the asari have settlements across the territory. Easily the most economically powerful sector of the galaxy, the asari worlds of Outer Council Space traditionally used their financial clout to keep the galactic market stable. Their military fleets patrol shipping lanes and colony space against smugglers arriving via relays from the Attican Traverse.

Structure

The Republican structure of government has no appointed leaders as such; given the enormous deference they are shown, foreign governments typically look to the public statements of influential Matriarchs as indicators of the political direction of the asari people as a whole. The only notable exception to this practice is the Republics' representative on the Citadel Council. The current Councilor is Tevos, who has remained the Asari Councilor throughout the past 100 years.
