Military Institute

The Military Institute is one of five institutions of the Institution Institution. It creates and enforces laws dealing with military groups, control of planets and star systems, and defense of the Known Blobverse.

Political Map
The Military Institute keeps track of which military factions are in control of individual planets and moons, and when necessary, countries within each planet. It enforces neutrality in specific areas, such as Zone 30, and parts of Zones 1, 9, 9a, 10a, 11a, and 20a.

Regulations
All military powers must abide by Military Institute "Regulations". Failing to comply with any regulation is likely to result in punishment executed by the Military Institute and several other interplanetary powers.
 * 1) All armed conflict must be announced in official declarations of war with Casus Belli. Casus Belli may be as ridiculous as "enemy faction spread an opposing religion into my area" as long as it is sent.
 * 2) Only opposing military forces and bases may be targeted. Targeting civilians, sources of supplies not directly attached to the opposing military force, and neutral parties is not allowed.
 * 3) A military power may not engage in war with a planet or civilisation with a lower Technology Class Rating.
 * 4) Weapons that have high likelihood to cause collateral damage to unintended targets or damage to a planet's ecosystem may not be used.
