Name: The Celestial Union and Merchant Republics
While the Union and Republics seem to have an almost nonexistent, and certainly weak, central government, and apparently insist on giving animals the same rights as humans, they otherwise appear to be a sensible, free, and Democratic nation of Capitalists.

("Union and Republics" is actually a great name, I ought to use it for short)
The Celestial Union and Republics should like to clarify some points.
1. Though we do not have a central government so to speak, for what the Celestial Union is and does we would not agree that it is weak, it has a great amount of power to prosecute
offending states and operate military campaigns, the Merchant Republic's central government is also while limited by the constitution has a great deal of strength within it's duties.
2. We do not insist on giving "animals" the same rights as humans; we assume you mean our xeno population. As we explained, we do not believe in "universal rights" or other such nonsense, all people's of the Union are free to do as they please, much the same with animals, rights as rewarded by the government can only be obtained through service to the state in question, if a Xeno serves his Republic, why should he not deserve those rights? We would even let a horse become a citizen if it volunteered.
The Celestial Union and Republics, thank you for your time and consideration and hope for future mutual prosperity and trade.
