[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] I don't think what we saw in IV was even the actual Council. Too small, and the seats were filled with Starfleet officers. It makes more sense for it to be some Council security committee, which could very well be meeting somewhere in Starfleet headquarters. Anyway, while it makes a lot of sense to keep your executive and legislature in physical proximity (even, I'd argue, three hundred years in the future with transporters and really sweet broadband), thus leading towards the Council being somewhere in Europe, if not itself in Paris, it also makes sense to keep your military headquarters close at hand too. Or does it? Certainly the case could be made today that a distributed govenment (physically) is a good idea, to prevent all your leadership from dying from weaponized bird flu on the same day. On the other hand, anyone coming to blow up Starfleet Command has already traveled billions of miles; the Atlantic is not likely to present a problem. Plus it seems like a good idea for the president to be in walking distance of the top military leaders, in case, say, rogue Starfleet officers attempt a coup and somehow shut off power to the entire planet.
