!Cetacean Citizens !!Status Since pre-space times, the higher cetaceans of Earth have been recognised as having full sentient rights, and are socially and legally equivalent to humans. This recognition continues to be held in all human polities that derive their legal and sentient rights legislation from ancient Earth statutes. !!Politics Since 2685, when a communication protocol was established, they have had the right of representation in the Earth Empire Senate, though they seldom attend - usually suggesting that they have "..more significant life-things to exercise..." (direct translation of cetacean thought processes and philosophical constructs is still difficult). The current Earth Cetacean Senators include Rikkitttichikiti from the Eastern Pacific Higherpod, and Wooooooowaaaaark of the Southern Oceanic whale reservation. !!Population The main centres of higher cetacean population are below (approximately - cetaceans have trouble making sense of the concept of 'census'): Earth 11.6 million Nasa 2 million Glenn 1.2 million Mir 1.1 million New Luna 2.1 million Europ 0.9 million Lotus 0.4 million Sirius 1.3 million Wolf359 0.2 million New Mars 2.2 million Agama 1.8 million Jabneh 0.2 million Disney World 3.1 million Outside of Earth, the main species representing Higher Cetaceans are the dolphins as whales do not like interstellar travel. !!Contribution to society Cetacean philosophers have contributed to a range of useful (to humans) debates, particularly on the nature of alien intelligence, and communicating with aliens. A number are working on decoding Boldly Go Alien language (see [Boldly Go Operation]). In particular, the cetaceans are highly creative, and work in a wide range of creative endevours - in the arts, music, drama (though dolphin dramas tend to descend into slapstick quite quickly) and visual arts.
