3. Conquered territories are also welcome to become members of the Federation provided they too have the support of two thirds of their population and permission from the President of the Radiatian Federation
4. For nations and states that were neither conquered nor formerly a part of the RPSU, either geographic, cultural or language ties must be present for them to be granted permission to join the Federation.
5. No new state may be formed within the existing boundaries of a state without permission from the President, the majority of people in that state and a unanimous vote by the Federal Council.
Section Three – Territories
1. Any overseas territory, however small and usually including embassies, military bases and dependencies shall be governed as if a Federal Territory, unless they are granted statehood.

For example at present this will give Alayenia, which has a population of 40 million people 80 seats. Polaris, with less than 500,000 people will have one seat.

8. Should a seat become vacant then the political party of the person who formerly held that seat is permitted to place another party member in their place
