Hmmm.... Was Re: OK OK I Give! (Was Powers)

After the debacle of last week, I talked to a friend of mine and he gave
me 
a darned good idea for a political entity.  I took the time of looking
over 
the nations listed on the website that was recommended, and only one
comes 
close to following the same line of thoughts:  The Thousand Nations.

The idea was batted around with my friend about a Native American
movement 
to colonize space.  I took that idea and worked out the concept of one
that 
was not a splinter FROM the NAC, rather it was assisted in it's founding
BY 
the NAC, for two reasons:

1.  To deal with the pesky issue of the North American tribes, they had
a 
certain level of autonomy on their reservations during the days of the
US, 
I'm sure they'd have some questions about that status when the NAC took 
over.

2. To really stick it to the LLAR.  Native groups in South America are 
extremely oppressed, it is well-documented.  By encouraging these groups
to 
seek independence, they create a new enemy for the LLAR (The enemy of my

enemy....).

So here's a riugh draft of how it happens:
The US becomes part of the NAC.  All the various splinter groups so
reviled 
in reaction to my earlier posts break away.  Except for the Thousand 
Nations, most Native Americans remain, holding onto their reservations. 

This creates a great deal of tension.  Some thinker in the NAC gets a
bright 
idea.  "We help the Indians colonize several worlds, worlds which have 
little economic use for us, but are strategically of minor importance.
In 
exchange, the Indians must agree to allow us to stage bases and Naval 
facilities in those systems (As if they have much of a choice).  We 
encourage Native tribes from the LLAR (eg Miskitos, Yanomami) to join as

well."

And so the Council of Native Peoples is born.  It contains 2-3 systems,
with 
NAC bases and maybe 1 NAC colony on a world not colonized by the
indians.  
In addition to these colonies, the indians also help organize anti-LLAR,

Pro-CNP insurgencies among the Native populations of several LLAR
Colonies 
(These LLAR Indians would be used in LLAR mostly for slave labor, I'm 
guessing).  These insurgencies are covertly backed by the NAC, of
course.  
Eventually 1 or 2 succeed, and join the CNP fold, whil;e others are
quashed 
and still others go on.

Initially most of the military defense of the CNPO would be provided 
directly by the NAC, but as time progresses, they would build their own 
forces.  Perhaps they developed some industry to sell repair supplies
etc. 
to the NAC bases in their territory.  They would then begin to use this 
industrial capacity to build their own army & space navy.  Eventually
they 
would be capable of their own defense.	The NAC would no longer need to 
maintain as heavy a presence in these systems, though they'd still
maintain 
bases.

I'm thinking the CNP would be an ally of NAC, and much of their Naval 
firepower would either be directly purchased from or heavily 
design-influenced by the NAC.  They would be an active enemy of the
LLAR, as 
well of several of the smaller powers that split from the NAC.

Each people group would be given a certain planet/area/colony, and would

have internal autonomy, while a UN-like council would make decisions 
concerning foreign affairs, and a joint m,ilitary would be responsible
for 
most defense and military issues.  The Indians would consider this model
a 
direct descendant of the Five Nation Confederation used by Native
Americans 
in the Northeast in pre-colonial and colonial America.
