Quoting admiralWillyWilber,
I would like to sea the minor races included in thiS.
I do think the one with the most influence points should decide what we vote on.
There are so many ways this could play out. On the surface you'd think it would favor more peaceful players, but what if you threw in variables like military power (and the willingness to use it), proximity, ideological leanings, tech superiority, and on and on and on... I believe it would make for some interesting gameplay prepping for the UP, and dealing with the aftermath.
