Welcome to the IS!
If, for some reason, you didn;t read the first few references on the OOC page, the IS is the Interstellar Senate. It's basically like a space UN, with about 6,000 participating political entities. This is how voting works (in steps):
1. A proposal/referendum is made and submitted.
2. A meeting is called over it.
3. All entities vote.
4. Vote is tallied.
3. If the number of voters disagreeing with the majority is greater than 2,000 or if there is a tie, the proposal/referendum is usually revised and a second voting session is held on the revised piece. This continues until a decision is made. A decision is made when less than 2,000 voters oppose a proposal/referendum. If at least five of the entities in the security council unanimously veto something, it is sent back for revisions until less than 5 security council members veto it. A proposal can be unvetoed by at least one more security council nation than the number of security council nations vetoing something voting in favor of it.
Security Council Members
These entities can veto or un-veto something if the aforementioned circumstances occur. They are the most influential entities. They include:
1. The Avians
2. The Ediane
3. The Choir Tenebris
4. Open slot
5. Open slot
