MOO2 had the senate. All players get votes according to their current
powers. If you can get 2/3 of the total votes you win the (diplomacy)
victory. This voting occurs every 20-30 turns IIRC. The AIs will then
threated you that you vote for them or they "crush your little
empire". Haha.

If someone got the 2/3 majority and it wasn't you you were asked if
you accept. If you say no the new elected leader gets all planets and
ships of the others. The others drop out. So you than fight against
the combined forces of 3 or 5 players.

This could be adapted to freeciv. In the freeciv version you would get
the question "do you accept foobar's ruling" only if you have voted
against him. In this case the supporting players form an alliance and
you and the others who don't accept it have to fight. The alliance
should be unbreakable.
