The Mikaeans continued their process of forcibly incorporated other species and their colonies into the alliance, with their second target being the Elysians, who at the time the two races came into contact, had begun the process of colonizing on of the habitable worlds in their solar system. The Mikaeans swiftly overpowered the Elysians in space, but were bogged down in a protracted conflict known as the [[Elysian War]], which drug on for more than thirty years, and ultimately ended in a stalemate in which the Elysians surrendered to the Mikaeans, though only on the condition that they be permitted a degree of autonomy within the union. The fourth race to join the alliance would be the Azurigu, a tribal iron-age species on an alpine world, with few organized nation-states and little understanding of astronomy outside of spiritualistic practices. The Mikaeans uplifted the species over a period of fifteen years, and ultimately introduced them into the alliance of races with much fanfare from the general public.
==Politics==
===Government===
The League of Civilized Worlds is a interstellar federation influenced by the various democratic and libertarian values enshrined within the League's [[Charter of the League of Civilized Worlds|charter]] and [[Constitution of the League of Civilized Worlds|constitution]], which codifies the rights and protections to all member worlds, systems, and species, including the guarantee of safety and representation afforded to all League citizens wherever they may reside. It is the mission of the League and its government to promote and protect the individual rights and liberties of its citizens, facilitate cooperation between all of its constituent races, and defend all member worlds from hostile attackers be they foreign or domestic. As a nation, the League prides itself on its extensive government transparency and low levels of corruption, as well as the universal suffrage provided to members of the population. Likewise, the high rate of citizen participation in federal and local politics is a point of pride as well within the halls of government.
 
There are a series of checks and balances within the government of the League, with three co-equal branches of government, those being: the executive in the form of the [[Chief Executive of the League of Civilized Worlds|chief executive]], who also serves as the {{w|commander-in-chief}} of the armed forces; the legislature in the form of the [[Federal Assembly of the League of Civilized Worlds|Federal Assembly]], with the sole authority to pass laws at the federal level; and the judiciary in the form of the [[Supreme Court of the League of Civilized Worlds|Supreme Court]], which has the power to interpret the constitution of the League and legality of any laws in the union. The League's citizenry are subject to a federalist system where there are three levels of government, namely federal, stellar, and local. Each world is classified as a member state within the League, and free to govern its own affairs within the union, though federal law will always represent the highest authority and surpass local politics within the member state.
 
===Military===
{{Main|Unified League Armed Services}}
The [[Unified League Armed Services]] (ULAS) is the primary military force of the League, and the largest such military institution in known space. Consisting of two billion active personnel, the ULAS was established three centuries ago as one of the core institutions of the newly-formed government, and served to help secure the national security interests of the federal government of the League. The military is divided into two combatant forces; the [[Unified League Terrestrial Forces]] and the [[Unified League Space Forces]]. Both forces are sub-divided into three and two branches respectively, and organized into various combat and auxiliary units as needed by the military.
