The Galactic Concilium is an organization dedicated to the diplomatic resolve of conflicts, both minor, and large. The Starfederation of Hyperspatial Travel has commissioned this organization in order to provide a neutral ground for negotiations between both hostile and friendly governments, and in order to allow other nations to arbitrate disputes, should they be needed.
The Concilium will be hosted on the Concilium, a diplomatic station. This station will be placed in the system of Stavras, where, it is hoped, that all Concilium-using nations will contribute to its defense.
However, should one wish to send a delegate to the Interstellar Concilium, there are a few base rules you must first follow.
Rules of the Concilium
1 - Ships and Troops
Each ambassador is permitted to have two armed guards, who are to be armed with non-lethal weaponry only, and a single shuttle, unarmed. Concilium ships will provide protection within the system.
Any violation of this rule will result in the expulsion of the ambassador from the Concilium, and an investigation into the ambassador's government in such an incident. Should they be found responsible, they will be prevented from taking voice within the Concilium.
2 - Quarters
Ambassadorial quarters for all species may be prepared, with enough space for whatever such a species deems comfortable. Ambassadorial quarters are considered international ground, and are not subject to the jurisdiction of the nations who occupy them.
3 - Contributions
In order to remain a member of the Concilium, an initial fee of 1 billion credits is requested. For exceptional circumstances, this fee may be waived, to be paid at a later date. This billion credits will go towards the construction of defensive ships for the Concilium.
A yearly membership fee of 100 million credits will apply, the vast majority of this money going towards securing the area in which the Concilium is held, and ensuring its neutrality. Other monies go towards the maintenance of the station, the construction of new ambassadorial quarters, and general supply costs.
4 - Debate and negotiation
Should ambassadors within the Concilium wish to debate a particular issue, they may raise it, and have it then discussed. An issue may be dismissed with a 51% majority vote.
Negotiations are to be held in either public to private, at the discretion of the nations involved. The Concilium will be considered neutral ground both nations may easily negotiate on.
5 - Violations
Should a nation fail to pay, without extenuating circumstances, the membership of said nation may be revoked with a 51% vote. Should a nation attack the Concilium, their membership shall be revoked.
6 - The Magnate
The Magnate is the spritual leader of the Concilium, who is voted in at the beginning of each new major discussion. The Magnate may arbitrate between negotiating nations, and shall keep the debate and discussion within the Concilium orderly.
7 - The Concilium Fleet
The Fleet of the Concilium shall be placed in the hands of a single Fleet Commander, who shall spend the monies taken in membership on fleets, (those that are not spent on maintenance), and shall be tasked with the preservation of the Concilium's neutrality in all matters, and the enforcement of the Concilium's laws.

Essentially, to join the Concilium, post your nation's name, and your ambassador's name (and race, if not human). Donations to the Concilium beyond the standard membership fees are not mandatory, however, they are appreciated.
Note that discussion at present shall take place in another thread, should this be necessary, and invisionfree forums may be set up should the need arise.
