Council of Worlds & Habitats

Represents chartered member polities, including artificial habitats and small-body communities.

COUlegislatureUnion-wide competence

Who we are and whom we serve

The Council of Worlds and Habitats represents chartered member polities, including artificial settlements and small-body communities. It exists so that common decisions do not become the exclusive policy of the most populous worlds. A community's representation follows its chartered public standing, not an operator's investment or resource output.

Office output: Co-adopts laws and approves changes to regional powers

What our teams do

Council work includes interregional competence, common legislation, budget agreements, accession compacts and changes to shared public obligations. Delegations publish the authority under which they negotiate and disclose reservations from their own local councils. A common infrastructure agreement does not erase local ratification requirements.

Our decision powers and limits

The Council co-adopts relevant instruments with Assembly of Citizens and scrutinises Union Executive Commission. Local communities retain the powers reserved in their compacts. A Council negotiation cannot waive an independent court, election or planetary protection finding. Public records preserve both an agreed common text and any declared scope limits.
