United Earth Empire
An interstellar political entity in the form that resembles the historical Roman Republic with a Senate and now democratically elected leader that goes by the title Imperator.
Head Quartered on Earth, and founded in 2546, the UEE is the governing body over much of humanity. It is often seen as an over-inflated body of bureaucratic ignorance, and a senate full of self-serving senators. However, being in charge of the UEE Navy, Marines, and Army, it is the most powerful governing body humanity has ever seen. Currently, the UEE is focused politically, militarily, and economically on defeating the Vandull threat on it's Western boarder.
The UEE handles a planet's governance as such - each colonized planet (colonized being dictated as having over 1,000,000 residents) is elected to have a governor and two senators. Governors are often described as being the elected leader of that planet. Senators are also locally elected, serving the planet's interest in the UEE Senate on Earth. While each planet provides two senators to the senate, less populated, and outer-system senators often carry far less power than those who represent more populated, inner-system planets.
Each planet is allowed to have their own planet-based militia, and set of own laws.
