[But the Council already is a dictatorship, just not with one ruling over the other twelve, but three over the other ten.

Ummm no, the Council runs in a similar way to the EU, with member states having the most power based on their importance. However each individual country/ race is soverign
The EU is mostly just there to prevent France and Germany from going at each other's throats every few decades, with the rest basically being forced to join because A.) Peace between the two giants is more desireable for them or B.) They'd otherwise be excluded from the financial benefits the rest of the Eurozone enjoys (or rather, be treated as a third rate country by those in it). The only real reason the euro is there, aside from providing a strong alternative to the dollar on the international market, is to force the countries that have adapted it into gradually giving up their monetary (and thus political) sovereignty to the Union, which will eventually become an "United States of Europe" of sorts.
And trust me, few of the countries in it are all that happy about this. I assure you that if people were to hold referenda about keeping the euro and/or staying in the EU, most countries would vote against it.
Likewise, all the Council is, is a triumvirate of three (later four) giants between which a war would prove catastrophic for all of them, most of all because the outcome would be unpredictable: one of the giants may win, but one or more of the lesser races may also triumph over their former masters. Hence why working together into dominating over the rest is more desireable for them.
Like I said, the difference is negligible.
