Nowhere is it made clear WHO runs the Village.

They said it at the beginning of each episode.

I am Number 2.
Who is Number 1?
You are Number 6.

All that was missing is the comma.

Who says #1 runs the Village?

He ignored the biggest staple of the Libertarian cause, reform of drug laws.

Saurian Brandy was banned in the Federation, and yet McCoy always seemed to have a bottle, and Kirk was always willing to drink from it.
