 The area is dominated by an empire, but there are a lot of smaller principalities and independent planets.
-The empire consists of about 83000 inhabited star systems. Of them one is the capital system(with more that 200billion people), 174 are primary systems(With an average population of about 100 billion people each), slightly below 17400 secondary(With an average population of about 1 billion people each) and rest of the inhabited systems are classified as tertiary(with an average population of 10 million people). There are an additional 530 000 star systems with a smaller colony, mining station or similar (with an average population of 100 000 people each).
+See [[Imperium]]
-There are about 4.5*10^12 people in the empire
+There are also several lesser alien races, some with few colony planets, but most living only in single star systems. But there are a few major alien races outside imperial area.
-There are more than 200 000 other inhabited planets in the area outside the empire control, but the average population of them is much smaller and while there is no exact census the estimates put the total other human population at about 1.3*10^12.
+See [[Aliens]]
-There are also several lesser alien races, some with few colony planets, but most living only in single star systems.
-The empire claims an area of 1200 parsecs across from side to side and all the way to "top and bottom" of the galactic disk(about 300 pc high), but given that volume is 339 million cubic parsecs and that the volume has approximately 41 million star systems and the fastest starships take 300 days to travel from one end to other, only about 1 in 67 star systems(and about 1/16 of non dwarf systems) in the area has any presence from the empire.
-The primary systems are each owned by one of the great noble families. The secondary systems are all owned by a lesser noble house each, tertiary systems are mostly owned as additional systems by great noble houses, but a large number are formerly independent planets that have joined the empire.
-Politically the empire has the emperor and a parliament with two chambers, both with 522 members.
-There are 174 great noble houses, slightly less than 17400 lesser noble houses and slightly below 1.74 million minor noble houses.
-By the constitution there are 174 great houses and maximally 100 times lesser and 10000 times minor noble houses. If a house loses great noble status for some reason(and few have happened though the years, mostly due to treason), one of the lesser noble houses has to be appointed as a greater house within a year and a day. Whereas there is no time limit or absolute requirement to fill the ranks of the lower houses, but they tend to be reasonably close to the maximum(normally less than 1% below)
-The chamber of nobles has:
-  * 174 members from the great houses, each house sending one representative.
-  * 174 members from the lesser houses, each 99 to 100 houses sending one representative.
-  * 174 members from the minor houses, each 9900 to 10000 houses sending one representative.
-The chamber of people has its members elected directly based on population.
-All three parties have different powers, but the emperor(due to "unity") and the chamber of nobles(Due to being able to block any action by the other parties with a 2/3 vote and the sheer amount of monetary resources that the nobles control) tend to be dominant
-The high council consists of 6 members: 3 from the nobles and 3 from chamber of people.
