I am fairly certain that Hapes was not GG as recently as Year 9. I think it changed back to the GE from Hapes and stayed with the GE for a few years before the FF got it. --Alex Tylger 13:21, 31 March 2011 (GMT)

Never mind, checked some old records and found reference to Hapes being GG in Year 9. Unfortunately, I don't know when we took the status. I recall that galactic government was present in the GNS header for a while, and when they made it dependent on the population factor, it changed from GE to Hapes. I seem to recall it switched from Hapes to the GE briefly for a while too, though that might have been a result of TP construction. Using some internet archive sites, seems like the first appearance of the GG status on the GNS was in Year 8. --Alex Tylger 13:43, 31 March 2011 (GMT)
The darkness GNS has had the GG in the header once it was chosen by total pop controlled. earliest evidence of this being April 2007 Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag to FF and held it until as late as June 2009 [1] Horthon Gorthy 18:32, 31 March 2011 (GMT)

Not IC

Is this really appropriate for an IC wiki? Galactic Government in an IC context isn't determined by 'who has the most population', it's a status claimed by at least two factions (GE/NR). The fact that it's a (flawed) mechanic for some purposes doesn't mean it's IC. Orphaea Imperium 01:44, 1 April 2011 (GMT)

True, it is a very flawed feature and I think most will agree. However, it does appear in an IC context (on the GNS page) and can therefore be seen as IC. It can't really be ignored. --Alex Tylger 11:20, 1 April 2011 (GMT)
