==Federation Governance==
 
The Nralakk Federation is a unitary directorial republic, whose centralized body manages all mechanisms of the nation as a whole, and is led by the '''Grand Council'''. The federal government manages foreign relations and national-level decisions, with planetary and further divisional management handled by its council structure. Within each level is a council and its respective councillors, who convene to handle the duties of their governed region, sector, or field with shared authority. The only exception to this is the Grand Council itself, whose Grand Councillor operates with singular, ultimate authority.
 
The ''council'' is the body of governance at every level of Federation society, from a factory unit on Pluat, to the entire Federation itself. These councils share the same prerequisites of being entirely populated experts and representatives for the area they are responsible for, a Federation-approved election process where every member holds a singular vote, and all councillors being drawn from the body the council governs. For a motion to pass, or an action to be taken by a council, the normal convention is for a two-thirds majority vote, with some variations being dependent on the size or purpose of the governed entity. Every council must contain a chair unanimously elected from within the council itself, who then holds the responsibilities of representing the council, mediating debates, holding votes, and exercising a tie-breaking vote.
 
Councillors are typically low-to-high Primaries afforded prestige and status for their individual accomplishments in their own fields of expertise, and for being leaders in their community. Councillors are legally protected against prosecution or arrest while performing their duties, although the Kala have the ability to detain a councillor that poses a threat to Federation interests. Councillors may be removed from their position by a two-thirds majority vote polled from the citizens they are responsible for governing.
 
===Federal Government===
 
The Nralakk Federation has most of its power centered around the Federal government, the central body that legislates for and governs the Federation as a whole, headed by the Grand Council. While the Federal government oversees external relations as well as the overall governance of the Federation, the planetary governments oversee the regular day-to-day operations of Nralakk planets in the form of Planetary Councils.
 
====The Grand Council====
[[File:GrandCouncil.png|thumb|right|300px|The emblem of the Grand Council.]]
The '''Grand Council of the Nralakk Federation''' (Nral’malic: Qu’Wuqajeq-Nralakk) is the ultimate decision-making body of the federation, headed by a Grand Councillor. The Grand Council itself includes all members of the Advisory, Federal, and Justice Councils, the Security Commissioner, the High Representative, the State-owned Enterprise Presidents, and delegates from Federal Civil Service agencies. All members of the Grand Council are also Sector Councillors, who each control multi-system regions, and are expected to represent the total interest of all skrell in each sector.
Complementing the Grand Council is the '''Advisory Council of the Nralakk Federation''', which is the Grand Councillor’s closest circle, made up of experts for every matter the Grand Councillor maintains management of. The number of Grand Advisors on the Council fluctuates within a Grand Councillor’s term, with the current council currently:

Beneath the Grand Council and the Advisory Council are the accessory and irregular councils that are members of the Federal government, but are still ultimately both beneath and answer to the Grand Council. These consist of the:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Accessory and Irregular Councils
|-
! Accessory Council !! Information
|-
| '''Federal Council of the Nralakk Federation''' [FCNF] || The primary body of Planetary Government oversight, the Federal Council is the mechanism the Grand Councillor uses to manage the direction of the Planetary Councils. The Federal Council is made up of the Grand Councillor and every Planetary Councillor in Federation space.
|-
| '''Judicial Council of the Nralakk Federation''' [JCNF] || The most important mechanism of law and justice in the Federation, the Judicial Council proposes, writes, and codifies Federal laws, and appoints Federal Magistrates. The Judicial Council is made up of the Grand Councillor, the Federal Chief Magistrate and Chief Procurator, as well as select senior Federal Magistrates and Procurators.
|-
| '''Nralakk Federation Security Commission''' [NFSC] || The supervisory body responsible for overseeing all security, intelligence, and law enforcement operations conducted by the Federation both domestically and internationally. Headed by the Grand Councillor and their appointed NFSC Commissioner, currently Tariqale'miluz Odakizu.
|-
| '''Federal Corporation and Economic Integration Board''' [FCEIB] || The body explicitly headed by the Grand Councillor, with each President of the State-owned Enterprises serving as a member, to coordinate the direction of the Federation’s industries. Each President is a subordinate to the Grand Councillor and is only able to advise them, as they do not have a vote on any matter presented to the FCEIB. The FCEIB, being a relatively recent board formed in order to handle the original Work Initiative Programme before the expansion of corporate special economic zones, has seen significant growth as 2467 heralds further corporate presence in the nation. These positions include advisory positions from each foreign corporation present, though the position of being advisors relegates next to no real political power beyond having the direct ear of the Grand Councillor and the State-Owned Enterprises’ presidents.
|-
| '''Federal Civil Service''' [Not abbreviated] || An irregular, umbrella term for all the nonspecific bureaucrats, office workers, and general employees of the Federal government. The FCS is not an organisation itself in any form, and is made up of administrative and civilian employees of government bodies.
|-
| '''Nralakk Federation Representative Corps''' [NFRC] || The body containing the Representatives of the Federation to the other nations of the Spur, headed by the High Representative of the Nralakk Federation Arelqive’usoq Nwugayu. The Nralakk Federation's interstellar diplomacy is done through its '''Representatives''', consisting of several hundred members of the Nralakk Federation Representative Corps, who act as ambassadors for the Federation towards foreign entities. Each Representative is thoroughly vetted by the NFRC and granted ambassadorship status after being proven to be an accomplished member of the Federation, who holds its interests to enough of a degree to be trusted with the task to represent the nation abroad.
 
Representatives regularly become Primary Numericals and achieve idol status due to their work, particularly if their assignment is considered of vital importance to the Nralakk Federation. Idol Representatives are expected to be well-versed in politics, to always go beyond standards set by the Federation as an example of a model citizen, and are under minute security under the NFRC’s oversight. Any rumors of potential scandals are enough for a Representative to be recalled, particularly for those assigned to high-profile entities such as the [[Sol_Alliance|Solarian Alliance]], or the economically strategic [[Republic of Biesel]].
 
|}
 
===Planetary Government===
 
Within the Nralakk Federation, each planet is governed by a '''Planetary Council''', whose governance consists of two three-bracketed council systems. Planetary Councils are responsible for the dissemination of directives from the Grand Council and oversee the fulfillment of production quotas, and in turn submit the vast amounts of statistics and information necessary to ascertain the needs and capabilities of each planet. At the highest level are the Provincial Councils, who oversee entire regions of the planet outside of large population centers, and can encompass multiple smaller settlements under their jurisdiction.
 
'''Provincial Councils''' manage the implementation of new directives from the Grand Council and its subordinate councils, track and update information regarding the population, productivity within the region, and records the average amount of UBI and social welfare program usage across its populace. Infraction rates and criminal activity also ultimately fall upon the Provincial Council, who then submits these reports to domestic and national enforcement boards. Municipal Councils, their urban counterparts, maintain the same responsibilities and record similar statistics.
 
The average member of the Municipal and Provincial Councils are generally idols and well-known community figures, with the expectation of providing the fairest and best decisions towards improving their managed regions. The act of representing the planet’s sum total to the rest of the Nralakk Federation is not taken lightly, and candidates are usually under scrutiny throughout their service.
 
Beneath the Municipal and Provincial councils are the '''City Councils''', of which Municipal and Provincial variants also exist. Municipal City Councils, or MCCs, are tasked with the management of civil services and the development of the individual cities that preside over, and are usually the highest branch of the planetary government that the average Federation citizen interacts with. Social welfare programs and the universal basic income are provided through the MCC, and are expected to monitor and record the total population and demand for these programs in order to correspond with the Municipal Councils that lead above them.
 
'''Provincial City Councils''', or PCCs, manage more responsibilities than their city counterparts. The average PCC manages the industrial expansion and State-Owned Enterprises’ development and quota fulfillment in the smaller settlements and rural areas, regularly coordinating with the local workforce for oversight on most tasks. From ecological considerations on industrial expansion, to the local SOE branch’s fulfillment of domestic demand and quotas, PCCs are the backbone of these areas.
 
At the lowest and local levels are the '''Ward Councils''' and '''District Councils''', who preside over boroughs of population-dense cities, and smaller urban or rural cities respectively. Deviating from the higher bracket councils, both local councils are responsible for community initiatives, polls, updating total population and their fluctuations, as well as functioning as a forum for the citizens in their jurisdiction. Every skrell citizen is able to be granted correspondence through both councils, whether through personal requests or the local assemblies. While civilian assemblies for polling and public reception are common, idol-only panels function as direct routes for the most influential citizens of the Federation to interface with the local government. As these idols are usually given more say in the councils, they are usually expected to have some impetus to represent the interest of their local community beyond themselves. Beyond the technicalities and legal definitions, these councils form the backbone of communities through helping the individual citizens within them connect and work together for a collective effort.
 
Civilian space stations and installations, in contrast to the planets within the Federation, are managed entirely by individual '''Installation Councils''' in lieu of the three bracket council system. Operating as a hybrid of all three brackets, the average Installation Council has considerably more direct governance over their station, being afforded these abilities to compensate for the combined responsibilities of every bracket. All members from these councils are derived directly from the station staff, usually from the leaders of each individual department. While typically assigned to a Planetary Council that manages the planet whose gravitational well influences the installation, free-floating structures are afforded further autonomy.
 
==Skrell Schools of Thought==
 
The political, social, and economic ideologies of the Nralakk Federation have existed since the formation of the First Federation, and have since evolved towards their current, contemporary state. These “Schools of Thought” are the general guidelines and principles for wide ranges of individual beliefs a skrell holds, although they remain true to the core beliefs of the School.
 
===Primary Schools===
The Primary Schools are the two official and most common ideological spheres to which nearly every Nralakk citizen follows:
 
*''Federalism'' (though unrelated to the traditional concept of Federalism from the identically-named human ideology) is the current dominant School of Thought in the Nralakk Federation, promoting the ideals of further centralisation and power for the Federal government: a command economy is planned and managed by the Federal government, and ran by the Planetary Councils in order to perpetuate the necessary support of the welfare state; diplomacy and trade conducted with any nation deemed advantageous, regardless of their ideology for the benefit of the Federation; a security and intelligence apparatus which remains strong and maintains its presence outside of Federation space in the name of national interests; the diona and C’thur’s vaurca populaces should be further integrated into the Nralakk Federation.
While Federalism is primarily a monolithic School of Thought ideologically, the methods of its implementation have many small variations. Integrationist Federalists are interested in the further integration of the other interstellar species in the Orion Spur, with the end-goal of allowing all of them to live and forward the interests of the Nralakk Federation.
 
*''Planetary Traditionalism'' is the less common School of Thought in the Nralakk Federation, which promotes the ideals of a decentralised Federal government. These ideals range from: Expanded self-governing power to the individual Planetary Councils, decentralised economies to provide each Planetary Council more freedom to revolve their planet’s industries to their individual specialities for the prosperity of the Federation; Diplomacy and trade opportunities offered only towards nations in-line with Traditionalist and Federal interests; a security and intelligence apparatus more focused on the planetary level, and does not conduct operations outside of the Federation, with the Qu’Wukala’s powers being restricted; The diona and C’thur Hive’s vaurca populaces should remain in their current positions in skrell society, primarily towards expanding the labor base of the Nralakk Federation.
Planetary Traditionalism tends to retain the same base concepts across the Core and Contingent systems, but experiences further variation towards the Traverse. Traverse colonies trend towards Planetary Traditionalism towards varying amounts of autonomy and decentralization. Towards the border towards human civilizations, more absorbed ideas of a capitalist scheme of economy and open markets become more popularized. Inversely, more radical planetary traditionalists further separation into sector-states and planet-states with their own planetary governments able to modify the Grand Council’s passed down laws. Those in the latter sometimes adopt the title of Commonwealth Traditionalists, in reference to the Commonwealth of Three.
 
===Secondary Schools===
The Secondary Schools are the myriad minority beliefs not endorsed by the Nralakk Federation, instead adopted by skrell outside of the Federation’s borders. These consist of:
 
*''The Lyukal''/'Resistance Fronts’ ideologies span the diverse and extremist beliefs drawing from many differing interpretations of Suur’ka and Kir’gul tenets. A majority of these state that the Nralakk Federation is an overbearing, totalitarian state, and that skrell should actively resist its control. Believers in these radical ideologies find themselves divided between other opposing groups, leading to a significant degree of infighting that some consider a hindrance towards the primary goal of reforming (or destroying) the Federation. Lyukal/Resistant Front beliefs are found mostly in the subversive Traverse, as well as with non-Nralakk skrell.
 
*''Skrell Corporatism'' is the niche belief that the Nralakk Federation’s future lies within an open-market, capitalist economy where corporations drive industry, with competition being the key to achieving rapid innovation and expansion. Inspired by their human neighbours, Skrell Corporatism is nearly unheard of in the Nralakk Federation, with only some interest taking root where megacorporate special economic zones and cooperative areas are leased. In non-Nralakk skrell circles, this belief remains rare, as most skrell outside of the Federation’s welfare state face the reality of living in the broader, corporatist Spur.
 
*''The Synthetic Wave'' is the belief held by the few remaining AI sympathisers, who now live in the Coalition of Colonies and obscure frontiers following the Tri-Qyu Calamity, that the Synthetic Era was a time of objective scientific and technological prosperity for skrell. Artificial Intelligence should continue to be developed by those in the Synthetic Wave, and that AI is the key towards the betterment of the Spur at large. Openly following this belief is guaranteed to have one shunned and ostracized in any circles beyond itself.
Notably, the phrase “Glorsh Loyalism” is a catch-all term for a broad spectrum of AI supporters for most disapproving skrell, despite Glorsh itself is a controversial topic amongst Synthetic Wave members. Most disavow Glorsh-Omega as a shortsighted and poorly handled intelligence, while others believe that Glorsh’s first execution was erroneous, and with more development, could have been the true guiding hand of the species.
 
*''National Isolationism'', while seen as particularly conservative and reactionary, has maintained a small niche of support in the Nralakk Federation. Isolationist skrell see the Nralakk Federation’s opening of its borders and Spur political involvement to be a distraction or active detriment to the Federation, and would see its borders closed in order to focus on its own domestic issues. Multiple groups would see skrell who settled outside of the Federation either returned or permanently exiled due to cultural contamination.
Phoron and its use in the Nralakk Federation is a controversial topic among Isolationists, who either see the nation’s dependence as a catastrophic deal with the devil towards foreign powers and outside elements, while other Isolationist groups believe the expansion to find new, Federation-owned sources of phoron is key to maintain self-sufficiency.
 
=Relations with Foreign States=
 
The Nralakk Federation, originally known for isolationist practices and the tumultuous involvement in the [[Unathi_History#First_Contact|first contact of Moghes]] and [[Tajaran_History#First_Contact|Adhomai]] alongside Solarian exploration, has since moved to distance itself from the results of their appearances into Spur politics. The Federation’s [[The_Beauchamp_Arc#A_Federation_Resolute|new era]] of foreign aid and renewing offers for potential friendships has begun the process of melting the icy exterior of the skrell giant, attempting to move against the perception of the Federation as being both distant and as Sol’s unspoken card to pull upon in the event of being threatened by other powers.
 
Though many perceive this as a turning of a new leaf and fantastic economic opportunity, there are just as many who perceive the Federation’s movements as a threat from a looming foreign power, now mobilized only out of necessity. Foreign aid and technological offerings have historically been an immense boon for struggling settlements and post-disaster recovery, with examples seen during the [[The_Beauchamp_Arc#THE_QUKALA’S_VICTORY:_BEAUCHAMP_ON_THE_RUN!|assault on Sol’s warp gates in 2464]], [[New_Gibson#Contact_with_the_Skrell|New Gibson’s biodomes]], and the  [[New_Blades_Old_Wounds_Arc#Agreement_Reached_on_Ouerea!|Nralakk-Izweski Mutual Prosperity Agreement]].
 
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===The Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div><ul>
The [[Sol_Alliance|Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations]] sees the Nralakk Federation as its closest ally within the Orion Spur both economically and as the second largest political force to maintain its status quo over the Spur.
Both the ASSN and Nralakk Federation maintain dozens of representatives within each other’s borders to coordinate the immense bureaucratic labor to maintain relations and the logistics behind their trade agreements. This number only continues to climb as the Alliance’s grasp on its territories and stability is tested, all while both continue to leverage their positions to gain influence within each other.
Strategic trade between the Alliance and the Federation stands as the second largest source of phoron, with both nations seeking to maintain each other’s strategic reserves and stability as the scarcity moves past peak phoron. The ASSN does push to retain preferential deals from their relationship and long history of cordial relations between each other, though how much exclusivity can be retained is yet to be seen.
</div></ul>
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===Republic of Biesel===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div><ul>
The [[Republic of Biesel]] maintains a positive relationship with the Nralakk Federation, with phoron being the Republic’s most valued export. General opinion on the Federation is largely reserved, with their inaction during the [[Republic_of_Biesel#Phoron_Scarcity_and_the_Second_Invasion_of_Biesel_(2462)|invasion of Tau Ceti]] and the [[Skrell_Refugees|refugee wave during the Traverse Crisis]] still in recent memory. Despite this, Tau Ceti remains a favorite for skrell traveling abroad, boasting the status of being the number one destination for work and travel visas.
 
The Republic of Biesel currently maintains the second-largest number of diplomatic representatives within the Nralakk Federation’s borders. With the encroaching phoron scarcity, the Federation vies to improve relations and influence in the fledgling republic through foreign aid, the lending of advanced skrell technology, and research leases. Meanwhile, the Republic reciprocates by leveraging its political position to expand megacorporations’ ability to freely operate within the Federation’s economy. The Nralakk Federation has affirmed that they see the Republic of Biesel as a valuable diplomatic partner, and publicly wishes to increase diplomatic ties with them. This has since expanded further as [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/16330-tau-ceti-times/page/5/#findComment-181503|talks between the Republic and Federation] give way to a tentatively hopeful new era of cooperation between the two nations, with the Federation providing an unexpected apology and vested interest in cooperation. In spite of the news, the people of Biesel remain wary of what is to come in light of future agreements, particularly among the refugees hiding away from the Federation’s eye in the Starlight Zone.
</div></ul>
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
 
===Serene Republic of Elyra===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div><ul>
The [[Republic of Elyra|Serene Republic of Elyra]] maintains suspicion and cooled relations with the Nralakk Federation, particularly due to Elyra’s interest in self-reliance, with only some improvement post-Lii’dra Incursion. Most attempts to open opportunities for phoron trade are met with cold responses, or slated off as too costly due to the distance between their territories. A general sentiment among Elyrans is that the Nralakk Federation’s efforts to pursue diplomacy is purely out of ambition with the collapse of the Solarian Alliance, consisting of nothing more than a changing of which political giant is meddling in their affairs.
 
The Serene Republic of Elyra retains a middling amount of representatives within the Federation and in their own borders, with their intentions focused primarily on securing research agreements and the technology trade. Both parties still support an interest in fostering further cooperation, if only to maintain their research agreements and little else.
</div></ul>
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===Empire of Dominia===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Despite their proximity, the [[Empire of Dominia]] and the Nralakk Federation have remained very neutral. Dominia’s stance on the Federation is turbulent due to the empire’s cultural and religious views on synthetics, the Federation’s past exploits with AI, and their subsequent disavowal of them splitting the public opinion. Attempts at trade have usually floundered due to logistics and dangers involving travel through the Federation’s furthest frontiers to access their trade ports. With synthetics remaining a constant topic in politics and current events, both factions have recognized the other’s stances on artificial intelligence as mutual… if in parallel to each other’s reasoning. This mutual standing point has been used as a reignition of diplomatic interaction between both nations, with potential trade returning as a talking point between Dominia’s representatives and the Federation itself.
 
Currently, the Empire of Dominia maintains a small number of representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders, though more are planned to be sent over should their relationships continue to warm.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===Eridani Corporate Federation===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The [[Eridani Federation|Eridani Corporate Federation’s]] relations with the Nralakk Federation is the second largest corporate entrypoint into the Federation’s economy, seconded only by the [[Republic of Biesel]]. Being a sovereign nation under the [[Sol Alliance|ASSN]] has endeared them to the Federation at large, but the heavily controlled economy remains slow to allow foreign corporate influence beyond limited special economic zones established by both [[Einstein Engines]], [[NanoTrasen Corporation]], [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]], and other corporate conglomerate members. With the Phoron scarcity and economic shifts, however, further allowance of the corporations into the Federation, and the loosening of its economic control, is projected to be all but assured by Eridani economic and political analysts.
 
The Eridani Corporate Federation retains the third largest number of representatives within its borders as Eridani continues to court the Federation for further trade deals and corporate influence.
</div></ul>
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===Coalition of Colonies===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The [[Coalition of Colonies]]’ member states recognize the Nralakk Federation’s close ties to the [[Sol Alliance|Solarian Alliance]] as the largest hurdle against diplomatic interactions between each other - particularly as the Coalition invites further breakaway states into its fold. Despite the Federation’s neutrality in recent conflicts with the ASSN as a sign of potential diplomatic opening, most anti-Solarian members of the Coalition still see the Federation as its staunch ally. Stances on further diplomatic relations with the Nralakk Federation vary by member state:
 
[[Xanu Prime]], being the economic powerhouse of the Coalition, has considered potential trade with the Federation to be a great boon against recent decades’ economic tumult. The Federation’s distancing from the ASSN made in the Interstellar War and diplomatic advances towards Ex-Solarian nations have softened the initial coldness. While the Federation was slow to act on expanding diplomatic and economic opportunities with the Coalition at large, Xanu Prime has been the recipient of the first exploratory trade routes and diplomatic visitations by the Federation’s representatives. Similar opportunities await Xanu’s political discussions on what to do with Sol’s largest ally.
 
The [[Scarabs|Scarab Fleets]] are a peripheral faction that has maintained very little notice from the Federation, beyond being the recipient of foreign aid that has trickled down from Xanu and other Coalition states. The most relevant major vessel of the fleet is the [[Scarabs#Faladay_Tadhhab_Bsre_(Fa’Ta-Bs)|Fa’Ta-Bs]] with its ties to [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]], which became a topic of interest regarding the development and creation of the [[Offworlder_Humans#The_ESS|ESS RIGsuits]] and other off-worlder aids. Despite this initial obscurity, outreach towards the Coalition will provide further opportunities for the Scarabs to make their presence known to the Federation, and with some hope, become the recipients of trade and aid in the future.
 
[[Konyang]] is a controversial subject when discussing future political dealings with the Coalition, having been a [[Konyang#History|recent Solarian breakaway]], the host of a wide swath of synthetic advancements, and the positronic vaults. In spite of this, the newest member of the Coalition still receives the same offer of amicability and trade, though the Federation’s own anti-AI stance has alienated Konyang’s populace just as much.
 
[[Assunzione]]’s sheer remoteness renders it mostly as an interest for research, though most efforts are strained through sheer distance, and what few research efforts are hampered by the insularity of Assunzione’s people. Despite this, the potential for the technology trade would be an immense boon for the domed cities, and cooperation in the future is slated for both parties.
 
[[Vysoka]]’s relative lack of development and position within the Coalition renders the Federation’s interaction with them unremarkable beyond ecological consultation. While cordial (and more than interested in receiving Federation technology to rapidly catch up with the relative stagnation on the planet itself), most diplomatic interactions do not develop much further than maintaining an amicable relationship between each other.
 
[[Himeo]]’s position as the industrial powerhouse of the Coalition is tempered with its significantly less generous position of the Federation’s relationship with Sol, as well as the perception of the Nralakk Federation as the worst parts of [[Federal_Technocracy_of_Galatea|Galatea]] placed on a much larger scale. Ideological differences between both factions have hampered diplomatic processes severely, and skepticism hangs above any future agreements.
 
[[Federal_Technocracy_of_Galatea|Galatea]] remains hostile and untrustworthy of the Federation under the same suspicion of psionic tampering, and the broad ban of skrell from entering their borders has frozen most interactions entirely. It is unlikely to improve any time in the near future, particularly with the xenophobic distrust, and the implications of its highest echelons being able to manufacture lethal feedback psionic implants.
 
[[Gadpathur]]’s circumstances render it the most difficult member of the Coalition of Colonies, with even the [[Gadpathur#Interstellar_War_and_Bombardment_(2260s_-_2278)|fact of their existence]] having shaken many skrell’s perception of Sol entirely. The Federation now navigates any interactions with Gadpathur with caution as to not upset its position as Sol’s ally, as much as it cannot deny the reality the planet exists in. Foreign aid is floated and immediately put down due to the potential controversy involved with extending anything towards Gadpathur, while the planet itself wrestles internally with whether to consider the Federation’s growing distance between the Solarian Alliance as a sign of a potential ally, or its past with Sol as a damning act of flirting with their sworn enemy.

The [[Golden_Deep#Domadice|Domadice]]’s mere existence is a topic of controversy, being an artificial intelligence of alien source that interacts freely with the world around them immediately drawing comparisons to Glorsh-Omega. There are no efforts to extend diplomatic relations with the Golden Deep, and both The Midas and the Merchant Fleet are barred from ever entering the Federation’s borders.

===The Rotunnkc Compact===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
[[The Rotunnkc Compact]] has a pleasant relationship with the Nralakk Federation, though most interactions with the Compact is solely with the [[The_Rotunnkc_Compact#The_Consortium|Commonwealth]] and [[The_Consortium|Consortium]]. Their strong ties together renders trade well-received, though the Commonwealth’s [[Pactolus_Exploration_League#The_Pactolus-Hieroaetheria_Concordat|recent movements to endear itself with the Golden Deep]] have put strain on a once-perceived happy relationship between both factions, with talks of reprimanding measures floating in the Council.

===People’s Republic of Adhomai===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Having declared the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] as the recognized authority of Adhomai, as well as the formal recognition of the Project Unity Initiative, the PRA is set as the sole Tajaran faction to receive aid and diplomatic interaction. The PUI has faced setbacks due to the phoron scarcity, but the slow extension of supplies and cautiously open diplomatic channels allow for further interaction between the two, though Adhomai’s tense situation has hindered much more than this.

===Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]] are currently considered a threat to the greater Spur’s safety with their association of [[Democratic_People%27s_Republic_of_Adhomai#Al'mariism|Al’mariism]], and have received nothing but condemnation since the terror attack on District 8 in Mendell City.

===New Kingdom of Adhomai===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]] is stuck in a difficult position, being considered not a valid civil authority of Adhomai in spite of their efforts. While some diplomatic efforts are attempted by the NKA to some avail, most motions to have them included under the Project Unity Initiative have fallen flat due to the Federation refusing to compromise after the events of the [[Ghosts_of_War_Arc#Mendell_City_Police_Prevents_Terrorist_Attack_in_District_Eight|District 8’s bombings]] despite the New Kingdom not being tied with Al’mariist beliefs. Any chances to this position may only occur when the tensions on Adhomai wind down, but the outlook remains pessimistic for both parties.
