Since the Athenians, the human race has had an on again off again love affair with democracy. You must invest the resources to educate a disaffected populous that this form of government is worth participating in.
Description
A Star Democracy is a significant governmental change for an intergalactic civilization like our own. A lot of Imperial limits on trade are lifted under this form of government, along with an increased amount of commerce within each star system. All in all, the Star Democracy is a superior form of government compared to the older Imperial system that we began with.
However, critics of this new form of government have brought up a significant problem with the system: 'What if the people are unhappy? They now have the option of leaving the civilization and being independent. In a totally unknown galaxy filled with alien civilizations, some of which are bound to be hostile, can we afford to just let star systems break free and be independent? What will the military do if they do riot and break away?' asked Dr. Brown of the Orioz Center of Political Studies.
The leaders of our civilization will have to weigh the pros and cons to make the best decision.
