*** The Tír government set up the Star Chamber as a sham legislature designed to trick the Tír public into thinking that they had representation. It has no real power and is disregarded by the Council of Princes. In Heinlein's ''Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress'' Professor Bernardo de la Paz creates a "Ad-Hoc Congress for Organization of Free Luna" and invites people to join it. He says he is "simply putting all my nuts in one basket" and expects them to do nothing substantial.
