This command triggers a Federation succession.
In-depth description
The federation_examine_leader is a console command in Stellaris that triggers a transition of leadership within a federation.
A federation in Stellaris is a group of different empires who have united for mutual defense, technological development, or diplomatic advantages.
When you use this command, it initiates an immediate examination of the current federation leader.
The leader of the federation, who is normally elected for 10 or 20 years based on the federation's laws, may be replaced according to the federation's rules for succession.
Different federations have different rules, but generally speaking, the most powerful member state or the one with most relative power and contributions, becomes the next leader.
This console command allows the player to have control over the timing of leadership transitions within the federation.
It is important to use this command carefully as federation leadership can profoundly change the strategic dynamics within the game.
The new federation leader will get the ability to control the federation's fleet and make decisions on behalf of the entire federation.
Changing the leader can therefore impact the federation's alliances, wars, and overall strategy.
