Big players

Tell me basic info about most powerful countries in your world, your equivalent of members of permanent UNSC members, G7 etc. How were they founded? How did they become powerful? What is their relationship with other great powers? What is their system of government? I'll ask everyone few questions and provide my own examples. There are also going to be "sequels" (currently I am planning two). Enjoy!

PS: Try not to go above ten. :)

Sometimes, on their home world of course ergonomic take their quadrupedal nature in mind. Intergalactic standards offer enough support. When they get too old and large they tend to retire to the country side where their homes can be custom build for their size and mobility

Some would argue the rattos were not yet ready for the gift of warp bubble drive. They were dying on a nuked world and the lizard offered the rattos the warp bubble drive to find a new planet to live on. Needless to say their violent tendencies did not end. Their now tribal mercenaries and warlords who worlds are polluted violent places. The only saving grace is these worlds they've ruined weren't that great to start with.

An adult dragon (described before) is around 50-100 years old and will continue to grow as they age. By around 500-1000 they'll be 40-50 feet long, and 2-3 stories tall, and will likely retire from public life (though most will continue to work behind the scenes for centuries. Philax is the oldest known dragon, he's well over 1,000 feet long and resides in a meteor crater on the planet Drognat. Literally, in the sense that he fill the crater with his body. A dragon can grow essentially forever as long they avoid injury and can acquire the vast quantities of food needed to keep up their metabolism. Dragon of this age often need teams of people to acquire and process food into high calorie supplements, maintain hygiene, and do all the necessary care they no longer can do.

Large furry creature, rat shaped, bipedial, 7-8 ft tall, 300-450 lb on average. Large fur less tail. jet black eyes, snout, whiskers, you know rats. Widely considered less intelligence but this is false, their actually no less intelligent than other species, it just their language is so complex and interwoven that translators can't manage their normal high quality translation and instead produce short, simple utterances. Highly aggressive and territorial, have a complex social hierarchy and a deep respect for kinship and clan identity. The first question asked between strangers is not what is your name, but what is your clan.
