The Confederation of United Planets and Kingdoms
We wish, with the advent of this Confederation, and the signing of this document, that the dark days of the past are behind us...we wish to form a government that ensures the safety and freedom of its people.
Structure
The Confederation consists of diplomats from each represented planet or kingdom (a kingdom being defined as a government controlling more then one planet) and one Board of Overseers.
The Board consists of the Secretary, the Treasurer, the High General, the Vice Minister, and the High Minister, who are charged with keeping order and making sure one group never gains an advantage.
Appointment of the Board
Prerequisites
Candidates for each position are nominated by diplomatic groups from each planet To be nominated, a candidate must have served in a governmental position for at least one of their planet's terms.
Election and Term Limits
Once the candidates are nominated, the voting rounds begin. Each diplomat votes individually, not as a planetary group. For the first round, the candidates need more then one vote to move on. Every round, the amount of votes needed increases by ten. Traditionally, only four rounds are needed, but it can more or less depending on the number of nominees and whether or not there are any ties. Once elected, a Board Member serves for five standard years, and then has to be reelected.
Public Agenda
The main idea behind the founding of the Confederacy was to provide an alternative to the warring Empires of the past. This form of government would also allow each planet more individual freedom, unlike the Empires which were mostly Absolute Monarchies. This, they believe, will prevent more events like the Kesucal Calamity and that followed.
Education
Under the The Setareh Manifesto , a proper education is defined as "an understanding of galactic and local history, and develops the critical thinking skills required to understand the relevance of what they are taught". The Confederation will otherwise not intervene in planetary education, unless requested.

Love this article so far, I'm really curious about the symbol used to represent the confederation. Is it a flag or a seal, and as for the symbol itself is there any meaning behind it to your world? Does it represent the galaxy they reside in or does it represent something more abstract? An example I have in my own world-building is an explanation of a family crest in Family of Hojo. While you don't nearly need to go that in-depth it does help to give people and understanding of the specific culture behind a given organization and acts as a great bitesized jumping off point. It could even transform into it's own article like in this example.
Thanks for the like and comment! It's supposed to be a seal, and is supposed to be a simplified version of the Setareh Galaxy (the galaxy this all takes place in) because they're supposed to be a galactic unifying force.
