These suggestions are mainly toward the end goal of streamlining the Galactic Community and providing options to make the multi-year senate cycles go a bit faster, while also giving a potential galactic hegemon or benevolent custodian the tools to enforce authoritarianism/egalitarianism on a much wider scale.
New lines of resolutions under 'Community Centralization' should be available to the Galactic Council/Custodian/Emperor. Both lines are exclusive with each other, with adopting the first stage of one resulting in the complete repealing of the other. If, for whatever reason, there are no Council members, Custodian, or Emperor, all of these resolutions are immediately repealed.
Numbers not final, but you get the idea:

Numbers not final, but you get the idea:
Galactic Federalization | Community Decentralization | |
| Stage 1 | Bureaucratic Centralization +10% Diplomatic Weight from Envoys assigned to GC -20% Senate Recess Time -20% Senate Session Time -1 Envoys (minimum of 1) "By requiring that members of the [Community/Imperium] devote some of their diplomatic resources toward matters of bureaucracy, we can streamline the process in which legislature is approved and enacted." | Free Assets +5% Diplomatic Weight per usable Envoy +1 Envoys -10% Influence cost to join/leave GC +10% Senate Recess Time +10% Senate Session Time "While initial founding of the [Community/Imperium] required a great effort from the galaxy's finest diplomats, many of these assets are no longer required to ensure it's everyday function and should be freed to return to the direct service of their home empires." |
| Stage 2 | Civil Authority Act +20% Diplomatic Weight from Envoys assigned to GC -50% Senate Recess Time -30% Senate Session Time -1 Envoys (minimum of 1) Envoys have 2x Leader upkeep "The diplomats who ensure the maintenance of our galactic legislative machine have done well thusfar, but with greater resources allocated to them, the [Community/Imperium] can be raised to even greater heights." | Nonessential Service Dissolution +10% Diplomatic Weight per usable Envoy +2 Envoys Envoys globally assigned to the GC decrease Senate Recess and Senate Session time by -1.25% -25% Influence cost to join/leave GC +20% Senate Recess Time +20% Senate Session Time -10% Opinion modifier from being a member of the GC/Leaving the GC "Many of the services that the [Community/Imperium] provides to its member states are nonessential to it's legislature and operation, being left over from it's original conception and development. By freeing these resources, member states can choose instead to devote them where they need them most." |
| Stage 3 | Representative Politics +40% Diplomatic Weight from Envoys assigned to GC +1.25% Diplomatic Weight for Galactic Council Members for every member of GC -75% Senate Recess Time -40% Senate Session Time -2 Envoys (minimum of 1) Envoys have 3x Leader upkeep Galactic Law is in breach if an empire has more than 1 Envoy and has none of them assigned to the GC "We can further increase [Community/Imperium] efficiency by forming a dedicated legislative body of representative envoys chosen by their host civilization, who will deliberate and determine the efficacy of resolutions before they even reach the senate floor." | Amorphous Bureaucracy +20% Diplomatic Weight perusable Envoy +3 Envoys Envoys globally assigned to the GC decrease Senate Recess and Senate Session time by -2.5% -50% Influence cost to join/leave GC +35% Senate Recess Time +35% Senate Session Time -10% Diplomatic Weight from Envoys assigned to GC -25% Opinion modifier from being a member of the GC/Leaving the GC Galactic Law is in breach if an empire has an active Interstellar Assembly in borders "The [Community/Imperium] was founded as an amorphous, emergent body from the collective diplomatic wishes of its constituent states. Physical bureaucracy and centralized places of power should be viewed as tyrannical attempts to take control of what should be a tool of the people." |
| Stage 4 | Unification of States +60% Diplomatic Weight from Envoys assigned to GC +2.5% Diplomatic Weight for Galactic Council Members for every member of GC -90% Senate Recess Time -50% Senate Session Time -3 Envoys (minimum of 1) Envoys have 4x Leader upkeep -30% Diplomatic Weight if no Envoys assigned Galactic Law is in breach if an empire has more than 1 Envoy and has none of them assigned to the GC Galactic Council members can freely form and enforce Hegemonies "With the efforts of its constituent states, the [Community/Imperium] has become a greater and more efficient governing body than any that has ever been concieved. A new age of unity has come... whether we like it or not." | The Burdens of Physicality +30% Diplomatic Weight per usable Envoy +5 Envoys Envoys globally assigned to the GC decrease Senate Recess and Senate Session time by -5% -75% Influence cost to join/leave GC +60% Senate Recess Time +50% Senate Session Time -25% Diplomatic Weight from Envoys assigned to GC -50% Opinion modifier from being a member of the GC/Leaving the GC Galactic Law is in breach if an empire has an active Interstellar Assembly, Embassy Complex, or Orbital Embassy Complex in borders Galactic Council can no longer form, and dissolves if present. This resolution cannot be passed if there is a Custodian/Emperor present. "What did we do before the founding of the Community? There was no need for a centralized body to handle diplomacy, only civilized powers enforcing their own agreements. To return to this, we make the legislature of the Community a mere formality, just another agreement among every other." |
