The statement went on to list a number of Alliance-sponsored autocracies in various systems, and called on the Alliance and its supporters to sponsor serious democratic reform in said systems by backing democratically-aligned factions over autocratic ones.<ref name=":5" /> | The statement went on to list a number of Alliance-sponsored autocracies in various systems, and called on the Alliance and its supporters to sponsor serious democratic reform in said systems by backing democratically-aligned factions over autocratic ones.<ref name=":5" /> | ||

Every Alliance member system has an independent government that makes its own laws. The [[Alliance Assembly]] lacks the power to make laws. It mainly functions to establish common policies and treaties among the members.<ref name=":6" /> | |||
There are various [[Security Forces|security forces]] that enforce the law in Alliance space. | |||
* The [[Allied Police Forces]] are the police forces of the Alliance. | |||
* [[Interpol]] provides multi-jurisdictional investigation, particularly across Alliance worlds, but also when an investigation strays beyond.<ref>Tourist Beacon 0235</ref> | |||
* The [[Alliance Defence Force]]''' '''is essentially a small rapid deployment force consisting of ships from the Alliance member navies. Additional forces can be provided by member system's navies.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/55b0a69e9657ba0e3ae7daa1 Victoria Wolf VI and Commodore Stone launch Operation Augeas]</ref> | |||

The [[Council Members]] of the [[Alliance Assembly]] are elected by the people of each member state. Some Member States have slightly different electoral rules based on their history. The number of Council Members within the [[Alliance Assembly]] is based on the size of each member state's respective populations; some only have one. The Council Members represent their member system politically in Parliament. The Meetings of the [[Alliance Assembly]] are conducted virtually but run on [[Alioth/Turner's World|Turner's World]] in [[Alioth]]. The [[Prime Minister]] is elected by the [[Council Members]], and it is his or her job to corral them into some sort of consensus which is 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. Due to much cultural variation the Alliance Assembly rarely gets anything done.<ref name="Brookes" /> | The [[Council Members]] of the [[Alliance Assembly]] are elected by the people of each member state.

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. It mainly 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 ruling 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 ruling 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" /> | ||
