League of Empires

Such a system is the only thing lacking in the game politically. Galactic laws are interesting. Perhaps the more potent laws (like your Non-Aggression law) should require a lot more trouble to pass than lesser ones, like your United research effort law. Such a system would probably require a League of Empires leader, which could rotate every few turns, with that faction deciding the agenda and having more influence (votes) in passing certain laws. This way, if the Sophones are a bit weaker, they could when their turn as leader comes, pass laws more to their benefit as they would be more able to pass them as a leader than they would have been with a normal member's vote. 

Perhaps, to make it a lot more interesting, the laws' potency should be based on the population of the galaxy's factions rather than the factions themselves. A galactic senate if you will. As such it would be easier to pass your non aggression law if a significant portion of the galaxy are more pacifist inclined. You might see a problem in that the largest faction would have an advantage because of its population, but in reality this already makes this problem less acute as larger empires tend to be more diverse. And of course the faction could maybe compensate for the voting of their population through influence or domestic laws. This would increase the importance of populations and the use of prioritising the growth of certain population groups.

Yeah the leader would have to rotate to keep things fair. Im not usre i like the idea of population being proportionate to power because although it makes sense i would like this system to act as a kind of way for smaller empires to stay relevant in late game affairs. I do like your seggestion about how the leader of the senate picks two laws without need for a vote and then the rest vote on a last law,however, i think think that he/she should be careful lest the members of the council leave. Still great suggestions! Thanks for the input

This is a great Idea, creating another layer of law and government for all the empires that bow to the Union, creating a Diplomatic endgame rather then making it slowdown into stagnation.

I would suggest to you to rename the idea as I first tought this was a joke idea to turn ES into the next greatest MOBA
