Still, would be an interesting interaction, especially if Amann is in the TNG era. Amann would be contemptuous of the Federation I would think, if for no other reason than their softness. Alesian government is.....closest to the Romulans, with hints of the Cardassians. More Romulan-ish than anything, with the Roman tendencies and the Romulan Imperial Senate very comparable to the Lower Council of Alesia. Amann isn't the most open minded of people when it comes to government and idealogy. He'll accept military and political tactics when it suits him to do something outside the box, but his way of running things is.....in his mind, the best way to do it.
On the other hand, he shuts out idealogy that could benefit his people, and doesn't always make him friends. In some ways, this might be a good thing, since he also shuts out idealogy that could harm his people. But Amann can be abrasive when it comes to his people. In an upcoming scene with Thor, Amann and our favorite Asgard argue heavily on the matter of Alesian expansion and the reasons for the war, plus the Goa'uld existence. Amann in the new version is more......sarcastic....and a bit of a prick. I did it deliberately to give him a bit more character, and showcase more realism to a character like Amann. Every strong willed politician has a side that is abrasive and can be nasty. And since Amann was a former military officer and has those traditions and attitudes ingrained in him, he is more abrasive than most in his management style.

Interesting; yes the Romulan Senate is very belligerent and power-hungry. They don't exactly play nicely. The Romulans do seem, or at least one does, to be trying to improve relations with their galactic neighbors tho by the time of TNG and the Nemesis movie.
Amann will be even more of a prick than he is in GD 11.0--well, he'll be more annoying most of the time and more amusing sometimes. Being ex-military explains that he's so abrasive. Although in the US we've had a gooid number of ex-military presidents, and they weren't necessarily so abrasive. Altho Andy JAckson definitely was and Grant could be when defending the actions of the crooks in his adminstration. Tho don't strong-willed politicans tend to be more abrasMaybe not necessarily. Interesting how Thor is current military as well as concurrently serving on the Asgard High Council, but he's gernreally much less abrasive than Amann. Maybe an Asgard personality trait. Altho Thoir can also be extremely scary when he's pissed off and his opponents better heed him. he was abel to go head-tohead with Amann by being equally nasty. Wouldbe amusing if Freyr dealt with Amann b/c Freyr can sometimes be the polar opposite of Tho in generral. Freyr and Amann would probably scare the courasge out of some people with them bickering so fiercely. :-D
So Amann actually tries to oust Moros and the rest of ther Council by using force rather than by outarguing them--interesting.
