"On revolutionary [[Eranin]] the population are expected to perform in weekly parades celebrating their independence from the Federation, even while their leaders ‘redistribute’ the people’s wages into their own back pockets."<ref>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edrpg/elite-dangerous-role-playing-game</ref> | |||

The [[Alliance Defence Force]] is run by the six member Council of Admirals, independently from the Council of Members, but reporting to it after the event, to facilitate rapid decision-making. Each of these Admirals is from a key contributing Navy.<ref name="Brookes"/> | The [[Alliance Defence Force]] is run by the six member Council of Admirals, independently from the Council of Members, but reporting to it after the event, to facilitate rapid decision-making.

Each Alliance Member State has a number of Council Members within the Alliance Assembly, based on the size of their respective populations; some only have one. Meetings of the Assembly are conducted virtually but run on Turner's World in Alioth. The Prime Minister is elected by the Members, and it is his or her job to corral them into some sort of consensus; generally a slow process. There is much less tradition than in the other powers, and processes within the Alliance Assembly are still subject to change – generally when arguments break out, as they frequently do. In practice the Alliance is largely run by Civil Servants – salaried officials that look after day to day running of the Alliance, generally not getting involved in the political struggles.<ref name="Brookes"/> | Each Alliance Member State has a number of Council Members within the Alliance Assembly, based on the size of their respective populations; some only have one.

The Alliance Assembly is the central body for the Alliance as a whole. While parallels can be drawn with the European Union in the 21st century, the Assembly lacks the law making powers of the EU. In main it functions as a means for establishing common policies and treaties rather than laws. It also acts as an arbitration body between member states and depending on Assembly votes can enforce sanctions or corrective measures. However the politics of the member states often makes this a tricky process.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R8jZN2_tJU Tourist Spot 0113</ref> | The Alliance Assembly is the central body for the Alliance as a whole.

When the reigning minor faction of a Member State changes, then depending on the rules of that Member State, it could change who represents them in the Assembly – but given that the Assembly rarely gets anything done, it is unlikely anyone will notice.<ref name="Brookes"/> | When the reigning minor faction of a Member State changes, then depending on the rules of that Member State, it could change who represents them in the Assembly – but given that the Assembly rarely gets anything done, it is unlikely anyone will notice.<ref name="Brookes" /> | ||
