Personally this seems very artificial to me. Is there some super power that enforces this? Can you fight the super power? If I'm playing I want to have the ability to become the most powerful thing around.

Well, I regard it this way: when you join an alliance, you deposit in the "alliance fund" a certain quantity of GCs as guaranty that you will not backstab the other members - if you ever do it, they keep your GCs (I know, you're charged only when you do leave the alliance, but have a little imagination). No superpower needed.

The other thing is that it seems likely to make back stabs MORE common: If you have a penalty for doing it, then if you can afford the penalty, it's obviously OK to pull a backstab, it's written into the alliance rules after all.

The lost GCs is an additional penalty - there's no reason backstabbing will not incur the traditional penalties (as in Stars! 2.x): dishonor, hatred, diplomatic damage etc. So I don't think the economic penalty make it "obviously OK".
