United Planetary Federation

The UPF is governed by the Council of Worlds which consists of delegates from the member worlds and observers from prominent corporations (a resolution was passed for this as a term for Vrusk admission into the UPF and that resolution has since allowed companies such as Pan-Galactic to hold observer status). It's executive positions consist of the President of the Council of Worlds and the General Secretary. The General Secretary is involved in the actual execution of UPF resolutions while the President mearly presides over the council's sessions. Despite this the President tends to be the more admired and public of the two positions. The UPF maintains a military to protect it's members from hostile incursions- with the most recent being from the mysterious Sathar threat. 
==Laws==
The UPF is largley focused on the regulation of interplanetary commerce and due to members having diverse governments (Republics, Monarchies, and Corporate States) and social standards has not passed many social resolutions with each member world having a great deal of internal liberty. The most notable exception however is the UPF's laws regarding robotics which can be called technophobic. Stories of the Cyberoid Uprisings are generally enough for prospective members to agree to the limitations. Other examples of the UPF interfering in the governance of member states is the freedom of migration; where in all member worlds must allow the free flow persons from one member world to another. This specifically tends to expose member worlds to various cultures and ideas with at times new members finding their old culture toppled by that of the UPF. The UPF recognizes the personhood of clones as distinct from that of their genetic sire and thus a person cannot be held accountable for the actions of their clone who will carry the sole blame.
