Since the unification of the Pythron nations under Astian dominance, the planet has been ruled by the Inner Council, who are nominated from and elected by the Global Senate. The Global Senate is in turn elected by universal adult suffrage. The Inner Council forms the Executive and the Global Senate the Legislature.
