Initially, the colonies the Furina De Fontaine had been tasked with founding would have, internally, become nations in their own right, with all the self-determination and claims to their celestial parent bodies nationhood entailed. They would have, in time, also grown from a large city to...a collection of one large city and some medium-sized towns. I will be honest here, even with the Furina De Fontaine settling all 50 colonies and then upgrading them to their full million population size, each of them would have, realistically, been nothing more than a city-state clinging to life in the void of space.
Though the second and third Alcubierre Drives were pegged to be used in ships that would unite the colonies in trade and travel, Earth and the Solar Colonies, with their billions, would remain a political and industrial juggernaut that would overcome the colonies if there ever was a reason to do so, be it in war or peace. When faced with a potential crisis in the future over the colonies getting plundered instead of grown and supported, thus sparking the first interstellar war of humanity, the same body of United Nations that had set out to create these colonies decided that the same were to be united in a confederacy.
Each planet would obtain a seat, a representative chosen for 10 years for each seat by the nation in question, in the United Nations Stellar Confederacy's Senate the moment they managed to become self-sufficient. More seats would be gained in the following ways;
1. Reaching a population size of 1 million, with 1 additional seat for every 10 million afterward, capping at 10 total seats.
2. Having the capability and ready plans to house and feed 1 million refugees without problems, gaining 1 seat and 1 seat for every 10 million refugees afterward, with no set cap on these seats.
While far from perfect, it was argued that this solution was the best way to organize an interstellar polity while pushing it with an eye toward growth and interstellar aid, humanity, and cooperation without placing so many restrictions on the budding colonies that they would chafe under a system they could simply alter themselves how they saw fit once they had been assembled in their fullness of 100 Seats for the first time.
And now, with the people of the Fontaine seeking to continue their mission, but with planets that have already been settled, even if in various states of civilization, industrial capacity, societal development, population, etc., etc., etc., questions arose on whether to keep the same system in place, alter it to fit the new reality in yet undebated ways, or create something wholly from scratch.
Eventually, the debates settled on the following:
