The Dominion makes use of a form of big government with individual states and planets still retaining freedoms. The Capitol Government acts as a overarching power that sets down basic guidelines and regulations it also provides protection (Individual states are not allowed to operate their own defense forces.)

The role of Local Government is to tweak the guidelines and regulations for the planets physical and cultural needs as well as act as the middle man who the people can connect with and tell their comments and concerns. They must follow the basic laws and guidelines of the Dominion for example the welfare laws and things like tax codes, Civilian and Citizen rights, as well as a whole assortment of issues.

The State or Capitol Government also oversees the protection of the member worlds and for each world has a Ministry of Law to oversee the planet and make sure it complies with Dominion law. Each Minister is elected and appointed from the Capitol world's population.

The State's protection of member worlds comes in two ways. Armed forces (Colonial or Fortress Infantry) and peacekeepers (Police.)

Examples of basic guidelines and laws:

Common will be the standardized language of the Dominion with local languages also supported (Examples: Italian, French, Dutch, and German.)

The Right to vote and hold public office can only be held by Citizens and the journey to Citizenship will remain the same for each world, state, and individual.

Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.

All people no matter race, economic background, and religion are equals under Dominion laws. and have access to the same goods and services as any other citizen.

Military and policing affairs fall under the Capitol world's management not the local government.
