I probably should stop adding things.
That being said, Political Capital. This currently functions as a bonus to diplomacy rolls.
Political Capital (PC hereafter) is accrued by colonies based on size. As a global bonus, the government type adds additional points. PC is expended by adding to a diplomacy roll. Right at this moment it is not stated if this is pre or post-roll. I am inclining towards pre-roll. Most espionage actions also impose a loss of PC on a failed operation. There are a couple that impose a loss on a successful operation. PC cannot go negative, though the thought of taking negatives to your diplomacy rolls until the deficit is "paid off" sounds interesting.
| Population | PC |
| Outpost | 1 |
| Small Colony | 1 |
| Colony | 2 |
| Large Colony | 3 |
| Small Core | 4 |
| Core | 7 |
| Large Core | 10 |
| Very Large Core | 14 |
Government types modify the PC as follows:
| Representative | +3 |
| Theocracy | +2 |
| Personal | +0 |
| Consciousness | +1 |
| Individual | +0 |
| Tribal | +1 |
| State/Clan | +2 |
| Nation | +3 |
