El'taki High Council

The El'taki High Council is the ruling body of El'takia.
==Overview==
The El'taki High Council (EHC) was formed in 1923 when the El'taki governments joined together to form a planet-wide democracy. The EHC has a member of each of the old nations and rules El'takia under democratic rule, this makes the El'taki slow to respond when a threat is detected, as it has go through each member of the EHC and ensure a majority vote (over 75% of the council) before anything can happen. This high majority vote applies to both approving a decision or barring it's discussion for several years, with an undecided decision lingering in debates until a majority either approves it or agrees to bar it's discussion.
No one nation has control, as each leader is elected by their own nation, and has the same power within the council as any other single nation.
Action cannot be taken against a nation unless it either breaks one of the council's laws or there is a unanimous vote.
Nearly every species that have met the El'taki, both DragonKin and Human, have declared the El'taki High Council to be the most inefficient form of government ever devised, and that's only considering the EHC themselves, not the numerous layers of government that must be tediously drudged through to speak with them, which when factored in causes genuine amazement that the El'taki actually manage to do anything.
