or EU...
And the elders of the 'moot ARE the council members of the respective member states--it's not like Duke Hireshmont of Terran is different than Elder Hireshmont of the 'moot.
Yeah, EU fits much better. I was thinking NATO was a little off but I couldnt come up with something better.
Its actually much like the EU. It has economic, cultural and military provisions and it's only real authority comes from the fact that the member states realize the benefit that comes from being a part of it.
Also, like the EU, while it is not necessary for foreign bodies to contact it, it certainly makes things easier for everyone involved.
While we're on the subject, who are the elders of the 'moot? The Dukes and leaders?
