Pseudogovernments

Despite their usual hatred of their own kin, Emotsii have formed 4 pseudogovernments, referred to as skulks, for the overall benefit and protection of all of them. These skulks are used for interactions with other species’ governments, along with upholding a small set of very general rules, helping their people who have physical and/or mental issues when needed, and managing issues that either might, will, or have affected the Species as a whole (ex. diseases that could cause or have caused a pandemic). Some Emotsii will also use skulks as a way to find partners.

These skulks are typically Oligarchies, with the leaders selected based typically on diplomatic prowess, knowledge, and temperament towards other Emotsii. During certain times, like a pandemic, the Oligarchy will turn into a Democracy, with the new leader, or leaders, being chosen by the people based on how well they can manage the issue and the people putting in input on/helping with choices.
