Stellaris’ next DLC is Federations and it adds a World Congress

Stellaris's next expansion is called Federations, and it will flesh out the game's diplomatic systems - that's according to publisher-developer Paradox in the PDX Con 2019 announcement show. The headline features are a rework for federations and the addition of a Galactic Community, which is basically like the World Congress from the Civilization series. The Galactic Community has a senate which can pass resolutions - galaxy-spanning laws that affect all factions. They are intentionally divisive, with each resolution likely to benefit certain empires and harm others. All factions will vote on proposed resolutions using their 'diplomatic weight' - this is a score affected by several factors, such as fleet size, empire sprawl, technological development and so on. It's in constant flux but it's not a currency that you'll earn and spend, like Civ VI's diplomatic favour. That said there is a favour mechanic in Federations, which enables empires to borrow weight from and lend weight to others on individual votes. The Galactic Senate can also vote on a Galactic Focus - a single, much wider-reaching project, one example of which is setting up a single Galactic Market.
