[ WP ] Humanity is the only race in the galaxy with such a massive lack of common sense that we 're the only species that requires laws to form societies . Other races just form naturally and are shocked when confronted with humanities laws and regulations .

Sub Commander T'plat ambled down the landing ramp of this small scout ship, casually inspecting his clipboard. Today he was meeting species 64 Alpha 998, a bipedal species that galaxy mapping droids had spotted some time ago 
 
 Looking up he was startled to see a mass of the large pink creatures had gathered at the base of his craft, staring at him with their strange coloured eyes. 
 
 T'plat had conducted over a dozen first contacts and while there was normally not so many people here, let alone all the weird flashing lights and large dishes everywhere,, he knew protocol. 
 
 He fired up his universal translator and began his speech. `` Greetings new species, welcome to the brotherhood of planets. On behalf of our alliance, we welcome you and offer you our support and assistance.'' He lowered the translator beacon and looked out, for a moment there was silence and then they all seemed to shout at once. 
 
 The noise was deafening and T'plat took a step backwards to try to make some sense, the translator ear piece desperately whining as it tied to keep up. 
 
 `` Okay, okay, one at a time!'' He bellowed into the beacon and after a moment things seemed to quiet down. Finally, after much pushing and shoving one stepped forward. 
 
 It was a small, strange looking creature, its fur did not seem to go over its head all the way and it was wringing its hands nervously. `` Er, hello, yes, my name is Phil. What does'support and assistance mean.''' 
 
 `` Well, we offer all new species interstellar travel and a seat at the galactic council.'' The uproar began again and eventually Phil quieted them down. 
 
 `` Er, okay, that sounds great. Do you want to meet our leader or anything?'' 
 
 T'plat's brow furrowed, `` What's a **leader**.'' 
 
 `` Well.'' Phil seemed thrown. `` He makes and enforces the laws and is in charge. Do n't you have a leader?'' 
 
 `` No, not that way. We all just agreed on what's best to do and if anyone really wants something then they get it. I'm not sure what these'laws' are either.'' 
 
 This time the noise went on for much longer and T'plat was eventually forced to sit down. At last a new creature came forward, this one dressed mainly in green with a fancy hat and a series of small coloured pips and medals on his chest. 
 
 
 
 He put his arm round T'pal. `` We have a lot to discuss my friend.''
