Galactic Imperium

The Galactic Imperium, also known as the First Galactic Imperium and unofficially the Galactic Empire, is the dimensional government established by Sheev Palpatine after the end of the Crisis of the 13th Eon. Formed from the Coalition of the Void that fought against the Death Cults of Meriana, the Galactic Imperium was established to unite the Void into a dimensional government under one ruler.
Despite the fact it is seen as a fascist dictatorship, the Galactic Imperium has not committed atrocities throughout various worlds. This is due to the Novayans being openly and critically vocal of the proclamation of the Tarkin Doctrine, rooted in Tarkin's theory of "Fear by Rule", and the rulership of Galactic Emperor Palpatine, who is seen as, according to the Novayans, "a chill galactic emperor". Other reasons included Palpatine's orders not to cause any trouble and the Novayans raising numerous complaints and even launched a number of revolts of varying size, intensity and significance, all of which Palpatine dealt with in a "more chill way", that is, by listening to what the Novayans (and other races) have to say to him.
==Government and politics==
The Galactic Imperium is ruled with absolute power by Emperor Palpatine, with Mas Amedda as Grand Vizier and Wilhuff Tarkin and Anakin Skywalker as Supreme Commanders; Fleet Admiral Gallina Rax served as the Counselor to the Empire. While Imperial rule is authoritarian, due to the nature of Palpatine's rulership there are decent freedom of speech and dissidents were dealt with in various ways, with the Imperials severely and harshly punishing them and the Novayans fining them lightly on first offense, heavily on second offense and more heavily on third offense, with repeated offense leading to jail time; dissidents who committed themselves to active resistance were either destroyed by Imperial forces or, by the Novayans, sent to prison, which were found to be more humane due to the Novayans' policies on criminal justice, which involved restorative justice and rehabilitation.
The Galactic Imperium itself is actually much decentralized, where systems were grouped into sectors and sectors were grouped into oversectors. These were controlled by the Moffs and Grand Moffs, who exercised power in the disparate regions of the galaxy; in spite of this there are a few exceptions, with one example being those under the equally-decentralized Novayan politico-military establishment and subject states under said politico-military establishment. Planets of the Galactic Imperium have were given some or little to no say in the government, but some worlds were kept in line through the rule of fear while almost most worlds were ruled not through fear due to the Novayans directly opposing the Tarkin Doctrine and their first open revolt.
===Executive Branch===
While Palpatine ruled as Emperor, the executive branch is made of the Imperial Ruling Council or the Imperial Council, composed of Imperial Advisors who run the day-to-day operations of the Galactic Imperium. Real power is held by the Moffs and Grand Moffs, who rule the oversectors, but the ones who have earned a permanent spot as one of the Emperor's favorite subjects were the militaristic Novayans whose conservative yet rational views were what made the Galactic Imperium the most chillest dimensional government; this was backed up by the presence of a single or few Novayan military officers within the Office of the Emperor and the Imperial Council. There is also the Office of the Emperor, where its approval is required to use one of the eigenweapons or colossi.
The Tarkin Doctrine once backed the use of state terrorism to enforce the Galactic Emperor's will, and it threatened force rather than the use of force to control dissent. This exercise of power ran for but a few short years, where the Novayans, under the leadership of a Grand Moff during that time, demanded a redress of the Tarkin Doctrine before unleashing the first revolt against the Galactic Imperium. On Palpatine's request, Grand Moff Tarkin modified the doctrine to threaten the use of force and again modified it to back the use of martial law; also as part of his request to Tarkin, the Novayans were exempted from the doctrine itself and given permission to use the Tarkin Doctrine only for select worlds that manage to rile the Novayans up.
===Other Imperial organizations===
To strengthen his hold, Palpatine's henchmen established various organizations loyal to him. Among them were COMPNOR, the Imperial Security Directorate, the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and other organizations. They have built power bases of their own, but Emperor Palpatine made sure that they do not cause trouble as per his request to them lest the Novayans learned of them. Because of their power bases and overlapping responsibilities, these Imperial organizations were less efficient prior to an independent investigation by a group of Novayan and Novayan-allied students that led to them streamlining their efficiencies to make the Galactic Imperium more efficient.
The one power base Palpatine usually listens to is that of the Novayan military, known for its strict, stern professionalism, conservatism and rather open-minded and realistic thinking. While the Novayan military's power base is ridiculed for its "cowardly ways", it is through this and their position as one of the Emperor's favorite subjects that the Novayans have influence in various parts of the Imperial government, more so than the combined might of the Imperial organizations' power bases.
==Economy==
==Society and culture==
The culture of the Galactic Empire is de jure ascetic and minimalist, but was de facto complex and varies depending on the planets, systems, sectors, oversectors and regions.
===Arts and media===
Primarily didactic is the role of art and media in the Galactic Imperium; cultural expressions were utilized as instruments for inculcating the New Order ideology. At the start of its existence, the Galactic Imperium isn't particularly fond of suppression of arts and media as it is more interested in military and political dominance. However, adherents of the New Order left their mark on the Imperial Era's arts. Many anti-Imperial artists were imprisoned or executed by Imperial authorities, but anti-Imperial artists in Novayan territories were left alone on the condition they do not cause trouble, that is, causing dissent of grand significance.
The Imperial Ministry of Propaganda, the Imperial Propaganda Directorate and the Propaganda Dissemination Office maintained the policy of distributing Imperial propaganda. Imperial Television and Imperial HoloVision have pro-Imperial sentiments. All Imperial media were verified, reviewed and censored by the Imperial Committee of Culture and the Ministry of Culture. Holodrama is another venue for politics, and films glorified the New Order. Pro-Imperial music bands exist while anti-Imperial music bands were banned. And various sports exist.
The one major venue that made its mark on the Galactic Imperium and Imperial media, however, is anime and video games. A product of several worlds and sectors, anime and manga and video games were spread throughout the Galactic Imperium. Emperor Palpatine and several Imperial Advisors, politicians and military officers were introduced to them by a few Novayans during their visit to Novaya IV; while the Imperial politicians, military officers and advisors ridiculed them, Palpatine finds them to be interesting and asked Teruhito Norsoutha, then the 596th Grand Marshal of the Novayan Military Administration, about them and how they were made. Once shown a demonstration of how they were made, Palpatine ordered the Imperial Senate, Ruling Council, Ministry of Propaganda, Ministry of Culture, the Imperial Propaganda Directorate and the Propaganda Dissemination Office to contract companies, independent and government-owned, to develop anime, manga and video games.
