The Utopian Commonwealth is an alliance of nations united by the goal of protecting the environment through conquest of offending nations in a perpetual conflict known as the Utopian Crusades.

Politics

The Commonwealth consists of two delibarative chambers, the High Council and the Low Council.

High Council

The High Council is made up of representatives from the governments that have joined the UC of their own accord. Each representative has one vote. The High Council is the sole legislative body of the Commonwealth, and makes all policies and decisions.

Lower Council

The Lower Council is a discussion and opinion chamber made up of representatives from nations conquered in the course of the Crusades. The Council has no power, nor any system of voting, but its discussions and conclsions are taken before the High Council for consideration.

Note: The Lower and High councils are not analogous to the House of Representatives and Senate in the United States. Resolutions are brought directly to the High Council, rather than passing through the Lower.
