[QUOTE="Rothe, post: 2845426, member: 39813"] Here's something I worked up long ago on gvoernment types for a sci-fi game. THe first column is the basis of authority, that is how leaders are chosen. Three columns are who this authority is vest in an individual, a group or "everyone" that qualifies for the basis. THe names may not be exactly accuate, for example, you may not like where democracy falls, but the table gives the idea. THe second block of text characterizes external associations, i.e. what is an Alliance versus a Federation? Again your preference for names may be different but the ideas are there. Sorry for the formatting, can't seem to get tables correct, hopefuly it is legible. Enjoy. [CODE] [b]Government Type (Basis (for grant of authority) v.
