The primary administrative organization for both the planet Makem Te and the Swokes Swokes species was the Congress of Caliphs. This congress consisted of inherited leaders, each known as a caliph. While the majority of cities were governed by a single caliph, certain locations, such as Thousand Thousand, the planet's largest city, boasted multiple caliphs. The Congress of Caliphs received a portion of the earnings from all mining activities conducted on Makem Te.
