Quick clarification, don't mean to intrude: When I said that France had the advantage in Mirus, I meant over the Talven Empire given that it embodied a status quo which until a day ago embodied consensus between Mirusian natives and Xonexi powers. It quickly lost that advantage, it seems. On the other matter, you're absoltuely right that the Covenant is not properly an organization, as noted on its page, but it 'governs' Mirus through its consensus, setting diplomatic norms and restraints between its participant powers. In effect, even though it's not an organization yet, it has begun to create galactic law, which is what I meant by 'govern.' Remember that France is open to recognizing the Enlightenment Alliance as the embodiment of the Covenant.
