Grikoliok Republic

The Grikoliok Republic, officially the Republic of the Grikoliok, is the political entity that governs the Grikolk species.

The Republic is a democratic, but stratified state, in which citizenship is granted only to those who serve the state in the military, scientific, or diplomatic corps. Non-citizens have few rights in the Republic, but non-Griklok citizens enjoy total equality with native Griklok citizens.

Historically, the Republic has maintained a policy of mild xenophilia and pacifism.

The Republic has a population much lower than most advanced civilizations, probably due to slow reproduction rates of the Griklok species.
