Fiction:Tybusen Intergalactic Allied Federation/Government

The TIAF is a democracy, in which government officials are appointed by the citizens of the Federation. It's government system shares many similarities to the USA, an Earth nation.

Government Bodies
The TIAF has two major governing bodies, the Board of Representatives and the High Council. The two had very different responsibilities, but after the Reformation of 1020 SY, the two bodies were given equal power and influence.

Board of Representatives
The Board of Representatives is a weekly meeting of representatives of every TIAF member (even some Rebel empires during the TIAF Civil War) that meet to discuss various topics pertaining to the TIAF or to pass or block bills. They also gained some influence in the decision of intergalactic action.

High Council
The High Council is a more-exclusive version of the Board of Representatives. Only Premium Members can send their representatives to the High Council. The High Council usually makes decisions related to intergalactic actions, though they were given some domestic responsibilities after the Reformation.

Grand Leader
The Grand Leader is the leader of the entire Federation. He is the equivalent of a president in a democracy, though he does have slightly more power than a president. The Grand Leader is well-respected across the Federation as well as among non-TIAF empires along the borders.
