Ren Katra, the older brother of Jem, finally stands up and speaks,

"Yes, we do mean Harmakmis and Gordista. Each province would have a government that the people want, but they won't be fully autonomous, as the federal government will regulate them. We can't have an individual province or party have too much freedom/power, as it would cause sectionalism, but not too much federal input, as that would lead to totalitarianism. We need the right balance of regional and federal power, so everyone is happy together. That balance has been a problem in the past with Harmakmis and Gordista, but with your help, we might make it work. In a nutshell, we need the right federalist government."
