Fiction:Seven Starr Alliance/G8

The Board of the Great Eight, also known as the Board of the Greatest Eight or simply The G8, is an intergalactic forum for the eight most powerful Empires in the universe of SporeWiki. The Great Eight nations are recognized as the most powerful, influential and/or wealthy of all Empires in the First Gigaquadrant, and thus the known Universe. Pioneers of research and technology, the Great Eight usually have the highest quality of life and the most educated populace, as well as intergalactic influence on everyday matters. The G8 were also the first members of the Galactic Nations. The G8 were created by MushrumKing on May 26, 2010.

The Great Eight Nations are: the Core Federation, Delpha Coalition of Planets, Sylit Republic, United Republic of Cyrannus,Rambo Nation, Vartekian Empire, Krassio Host, and Masaari Crusade.

Federation of the Core Worlds
The Core Federation is a massive federation made up of a main Federation and its twenty-five states, known as the Commonwealth Realms. The Federation's civilization is centered on the galactic core of their home galaxy of Xanthrus Spiral. Projected to rule over around three hundred-thousand systems within the next couple of years, the Federation is currently undergoing massive expansion under the rule of Queen Alestra X of Centrus. The Federation is a federate monarchy, where a High Viceroy rules over the other 25 viceroys, who rule the federation's states. The Federation's economy is based on world and trading monopolies, controlled by the InterGalactic Bank of the Core, a Xanthrus-based bank.

Terms of the Alliance
The Alliance is basically a non-binding alliance of mutual protection, financial aid, mutual support, and technology trading between the G8 Empires. The alliance is not obligatory, and empires within the G8 board that do not have diplomatic ties may not participate in this sharing. However, it is mostly encouraged and actually beneficial to the Empires, as they assure that they will remain more advanced than anyother Empires without having to trade with them. The current concepts of linking the G8 members' galaxies and creating large-scale intergalactic trade routes between their galaxies are under debate.

Status and Position
The G8 Empires are modeled after the real-life Group of Eight, and somewhat resembe the real-life G8 nations, though they are vastly more powerful and extensive, sometimes possesing large swaths of many galaxies. The G8 nations, having only recently been created, act as a sole unit when in conjunction, uniting forces to boycott an empire, destroy or take possesion of threats to the intergalactic communities, and help the community in teh best ways possible. They lead teh Galactic Nations, as the first members of the organization. Most are also expected to become major leaders of the Universal Trade Union, as they have large economic potential and widespread business in many parts of the Gigaquadrant.

Even when not acting as the Board, all of the members have large influence in politics and trade matters among their less powerful peers, and are formidable Empires with massive armed forces or great expanses of systems.

Summits
The G8 Nations hold meetings, called summits, once every three months, where they decide what the agenda for the following three months, until the next summit, will be aimed at, and choose a Board Duirector to suggest the new moves of the Borad. More commonly, the nations can bring attention to any problem they see or themselves have, simply by posting transmissions it on the Board's page (here).
