Fiction:Waptoria Alliance of Species/Council of Life/Node-Orators

The Node-Orators form the "executive" branch of the Waptorian Government, while the Council of Life serves as the represntation of the true legistrative branch of the Waptoria, the Waptorian Group-Mind, and the Justicarean serves as the judicial branch.

Like the Council of Life, it is mainly a representation of the Waptoria rather than a truly functional organ. This is so because each invividual citisen has a say in the government due to the Waptorian groupmind, making the Waptoria is a true concensus democracy. None the less, these Node-Orators, as they are called, are charged with representing the Waptoria in a certain galaxy to the outside world. Node-Oratorss, to function well in this job, have trained themselves to become powerful speakers that are able to put the position of the Waptoria in a certain matter trough clearly to non-Groupminded empires. To other groupminded Empires, the Waptoria Alliance prefers to simply connect their minds to the other groupmind briefly, and mentally debate things out.

Node-Orators, therefore, oversee the diplomatic corps in a certain galaxy and act as the spokemen for a Web of the Waptorian Groupmind in a certain area, executing their descisions. Node-Orators, also mostly serve as the official representatives of the Waptoria in meetings, though there are numberous exeptions.

While having a say in the groupmind like all Waptorian citizens, Node-Orators have no more autority in it than any other Waptorian citizens, so to prevent an abuse of their power, as the Council of Life and the Justicarean serve as their counterbalances.

Like the Council of Life, the position of Node-Orator exists to give the Waptorian Government a sense of normalcy, so non-Waptoria politicans don't have trouble with finding their way around, so to speak.

There is one Node-Orator for each galaxy the waptoria have colonized. They are aided by various Node-Speakers, each for a sector. While various groups with different ideals and thoughts coöperate peacefully within the Waptorian Groupmind as part of the concensus, the largest of them in a certain galaxy often gets to deliver the Node-Orators, again to give of a sense of normalcy, though they are concidered to represent each thoughtsteam within a galactic thought-web equally.
