Catullans elect representatives to one of seven regional councils, each of which sends three members to a senate which considers matters of planet-wide significance.

To some extent, contact with other spacefaring races (which in prominent cases vastly outnumber the Catullans) and membership in a Federation of dozens of other races have taken some of the energy out of the global political process for Catullans.
