== Federation laws ==
Federation laws dictate how the federation operates and customize certain aspects of a federation. Any federation member can propose a law change. Hovering over any law will list the federation members that will support or oppose it. A failed vote will add {{red|−10}} {{iconify|Cohesion}}.

=== Federation Centralization ===
Federation Centralization determines what Federation laws are available and is limited by the current federation level. Raising centralization will incur increasingly higher cost to cohesion.

=== Fleet Contribution ===
The Fleet Contribution law determines how much {{iconify|naval capacity}} is transferred from federation members to the federation fleet. The availability of laws is heavily affected by the federation type.

==== Succession Power ====
If the Succession Type law is set to ''Strongest'' then this law will define what criteria is used to determine which empire is "the strongest".
* '''Economy''' chooses the president based on economic power
* '''Diplomatic Weight''' chooses the president based on diplomatic weight
* '''Technology''' chooses the president based on technology level
* '''Fleets''' chooses the president based on fleet power

==== Challenges ====
If the Succession Type law is set to ''Challenge'' then this law will define what the challenge for the choosing the next president will be. Empires that do not meet the challenge requirements will be forced to drop out from the competition.

| '''Arena Combat'''
| The rulers of all federation members fight in an arena battle and the winner becomes president while all losers are killed. Each ruler has a chance to win based on a variety of factors.

Winning Odds above 60 and below 500 is counted as 60, namely {{iconify|Chosen One}} plus an Odds reducing factor.

| '''Psionic Battle'''
| The psionic Pops of all federation members fight in an arena. Before the fight each empire will be offered to pay {{iconify|Zro}} to increase its odds of winning. Each empire's odds to win, capped at 400, are calculated by the following:
* {{green|+1}} per Pop with the {{icon|psionic}} Latent Psionic trait
* {{green|+3}} per Pop with the {{iconify|Psionic}} trait
* {{green|+10}} per {{iconify|Telepath}} job
* {{green|+40}} if the empire paid 100 {{iconify|Zro}}
* {{green|+60}} if the empire paid 500 {{iconify|Zro}}
* {{green|+80}} if the empire paid 1000 {{iconify|Zro}}
| Empires without Pops with the {{iconify|Psionic}} or {{icon|psionic}} Latent Psionic trait automatically drop out from the competition

| '''Golden Rule'''
| A bid value is determined based on the federation president's stored {{iconify|Energy Credits}}.
{| class="wikitable plainlist" style="text-align: center;

| 0-10000 || 2500
|-
| 10000-100000 || 5000
|-
| 100000+ || 10000
|}
Each member is offered the chance to pay and place a bid or drop out. If multiple members placed a bid, then the offer is given again to those members. Bidding continues until all but one empire have dropped out. This remaining empire then becomes the new president and will also gain the option to invest the bids placed by all members, distribute them or appropriate them.
* Investing will give all federation members {{green|+10%}} {{iconify|Trade Value}} and {{green|+5%}} {{iconify|Energy Credits}} for a year
* Distributing will refund each member {{iconify|Energy Credits}} based on the sum made by all members
* Appropriating will grant the president {{iconify|Energy Credits}} based on the sum made by all members and give {{green|+5%}} {{iconify|Energy Credits}} and {{red|-100}} {{iconify|Opinion}} with all federation members for 50 years

| '''Thesis Defense'''
| Each member empires assembles a team made up of up to five recruited scientists. Each scientist leading a research area will always join if present. Each team has a chance to win based on the traits of each team member. Each odds adjustment is applied or not based on the number of team members that meet its condition.
