OOC: I know quite a lot of you think this is a techwank, but we can run with it for the sake of it, sorta an Alternate Earth Storyline that won't be canon to our normal storylines.

SEUW Official Statement
We, the scientists of the Society for Understanding and Exploration of the World have found that dolphins do have a complex political system. From what we currently understand the current system arose about a million years ago. At that time, the dolphins seem to have consolidated into a representative democracy, each region sending a delegate of sorts to somewhere far away. As best we understand there are two main meeting places, one in the south, 5,000 nautical miles north of Antarctica, and one in the north, equidistant from the North Pole.
The extent of this system, weather or not it is truly world wide, remains to be seen. However, it is very evident that dolphins are capable of sovereign government just as humans are. The extent of the intricacies of this government is hard to tell because we are yet to translate the dolphin word for ‘government.’ So what was used as a substitute for this difficulty was some form of ‘leader’ or ‘great leader.’ So far as we can tell is that there is no single leader of the dolphins, but a conglomerate of elder dolphins. This is all we know at the time, however, we will be releasing further updates as they come along.
With the current level of communication with parts of the language still un-translated, this is to be taken tentatively. We may be mistaken; however, we are confident in most of the information presented in this document.
With Great Interest,
Yakvan Ivernson
President of the SEUW
Encrypted Message to the International Cetacean Hunters Council
This is perhaps the greatest threat to our organization in years. We must take action, therefore I suggest we send a force to 'hunt' these animals, trying to kill them as much as possible and decapitate their government.
