In the common galactic star map of Etheria shown above, all the star systems denoted by a bold circle and letter are a world of the Empire. The @ sign at the center marks Regulus Prime, the center of the known universe. Each circle sector is 1 lightyear in diameter, so that you can count the rough distance between systems easily. The colored map area is space with Etheric energy, which allows jumpships to jump anywhere in that space. To reach outside that space slow boats operating at about 90% lightspeed are used.

The empire officially recognizes three unions of worlds by it's charter. The purpose of the Union is to provide unified voting power in the empire Assembly chamber. This is the place where worlds cast votes on declarations, charters, elections, and anything else official. When a vote is called all of the Union's worlds cast the same vote in unity. Each union has exactly 6 worlds, and therefore 6 votes of the total 22 of the Assembly. The empire charter declares a vote passed if 10 or more votes are for it, meaning two unions in agreement can force a vote. Here are the unions of the empires:

- **People's Republic of Etheria (PRE)**: Formed based on the common distribution of wealth and assests, in their own quaterly meetings the six worlds of the PRE move assests between their worlds nobles to maintain a balance. Their trade focuses primarly with outer worlds only, with a focus on the core outer worlds specifically. The isolationist union, keeping their trading and affair away from the other two unions.
