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) | + | By the constitution there are 174 great houses and maximally 100 times lesser and 10000 times minor noble houses.

+ | ===== Languages ===== | ||
+ | Everyone in the empire should be able to speak Imperial to at least accented level as all the imperial services like mail are only offered in that language. | ||
+ | See: [[advantages# | ||
+ | ===== Information and mail ===== | ||
+ | Basic information transfer is cheap. Even sending data interstellar distances does not cost a lot, but does take a while to arrive. | ||
+ | See: [[technology# | ||
+ | |||
+ | The imperial postal service serves all imperial worlds, most colonies and many non-imperial worlds at a cheap price making them the normal method of data transfer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See: [[postal_service# | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are no TV station type things, though of course all the governments and corporations have their own information sites, most with a lot of programs and such. Most people subscribe to one or more entertainment services and one or more news services. Both markets used to be dominated by few local heavyweights in both categories, but the much lower recent rates for information transfer have caused a big rise in smaller insterstellar organizations in both categories. Many of the smaller services are specialized in some niche market. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Travel ===== | ||
+ | Travel between starsystems is fairly expensive for most people and while doing things like taking a holiday to some other starsystem is not uncommon at all, most people have no reason to do interstellar travel at all. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See: [[technology# | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Imperial military ===== | ||
+ | The imperial service is a unified service with everyone part of the same service in theory. In practice the different branches are mostly independent, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The total active size in peacetime is about 1.3*10^9 people and they operate almost 9 million starships. The total wartime strength is about 4.6*10^10 people and about 20 million starships. | ||
