WC - your point doesn't take into consideration that in one possible scenario the humans are the only council species.

And Ironreaper - i'm not sure where you get the idea that the Council is a weak alliance. It's existed for thousands of years in almost complete stability. You want to theorise about a weak alliance, why not look at the Systems Alliance. Its existed for a less than half a century and consists of the United North American States, the European Union, and the Chinese People's Federation, who strong can that actually be?
 * When a Council hero is subject to scrutiny for doing his duty the Council loyalty protect him. When an Alliance hero is subject to the same, they clap them in irons.
