Talk:United Earth Council

Supreme Council issue
Here's why the Supreme Council of Earth should have its own page instead of sticking it onto this one:

1) We don't know what the United Earth Council actually is. It could be the United Earth legislature, or it could be the formal name for the cabinet, or it could be something else entirely. We don't even know the relationship between the United Earth Council and the United Earth Parliament, so presuming that the Supreme Council is the same institution just because of the presence of the word "council" is dubious at best.

2) The name is completely different and in point of fact implies a totally different function. "Supreme Council of Earth" suggests that that body has supreme governmental authority -- that it is all three branches of government rolled into one. "United Earth Council," on the other hand, is a vague name that could, as I noted above, refer to anything from a legislature to an executive cabinet to an advisory agency to who-knows-what.

3) The lack of the phrase "United Earth" specifically suggests a separate continuity from that of the ENT novels. -- Sci 16:55 24 NOV 2008 UTC
