==Overview==
The governmental structure of the Clalaeuth Empire is difficult for many outsiders to understand. On the surface, it almost appears to function as a single unit, especially since the signing of the CNAP (Clalaeuth Non-Aggression Pact), which would pit all members against the party that attempted to attack another. CNAP would also protect the empire from outer forces, as it calls to arms every system of the empire to defend an attacked system.
However, the trained eye can see many of the cracks in the Clalaeuth Empire. The inner systems have very little control over trade that does not occur precisely within their  spheres of influence. Whereas LOTO and the Confederation of Socialist Alliances are able to spread their nets intergalactically, the Clalaeuth have little sway over foreign business and markets, instead relying on illicit transactions to make the empire popular economically, resulting in heavy corruption. On top of this, the claimed systems, which by name are part of the empire, operate almost entirely independently. They fund their own armies, make their own trade deals and organize their local governments in incredibly different ways. This has lead to a lack of faith in both the currency and markets of the empire, driving away traditional investors.
These cracks have caused neither LOTO nor the CSA to want to ally with them or integrate them into formal alliances. The Clalaeuth are too volatile as a state to deal with permanently, and often issues are resolved on a case by case basis, instead of broad, sweeping agreements typical of galactic powers, such as the many clauses of LOTO directed at military, economic, cultural, transportation and infinitely more areas.
The silver lining in this, however, is that the Claleuth have remained independent and prosperous as a collective, embracing their reputation as a wildcard politically, while maintaining a large enough collective force to defend themselves reasonably well in the case of an attack.
