Monaloe Congress
The Monaloe Congress was a group of species-nations, notably including the Breatnais and the Tawnylea. Neither part of the Central Galactic Congress nor fully independent from one another, the Monaloe nations formed a close-knit alliance at some point in the late After-Human Era, many years before the era of BHH. In older versions of BHH, the Monaloe Congress was called the "New Celtic Congress", as it drew significant aesthetic inspiration from the culture of Gaelic Ireland (and to a lesser extent the early mediaeval cultures of Wales and Cornwall). The Monaloe nations were pastoral, low-tech and relatively isolated, and had a cultural focus on the freedom to be creative.
The Tawnylea, at least, were one of the earlier species-nations to declare independence, being well-established by the era of the Frontier stories. In the astropolitics of the late After-Human Era, the Monaloe Congress was in a long-term low-level war with the Helltunans, as the congress controlled a string of resource planets that Helltuna wanted to incorporate into the Helltunan Empire. They were defended by the Evon. How to approach the long-standing alliance with the Monaloe Congress was a perennial fixture of Evonian politics.
