Hegemony: A Hegemony is an interstellar political entity, or polity, that is characterized by a very high degree of centralization, strong policies that direct the entire sectors or states, and a strong disregard for local/planetary differences.
Description / Specifications[edit]
As a generality, the members of a Hegemony have less freedom than almost any other type of a governmental power structure except an Empire.
The dominant state in a Hegemony is called the Hegemon.
The dominated states in a Hegemony are known by a variety of names including:
- Client states
- Colonies
- Dependent states
- Occupied states (Under military adminstration)
- Puppet states
- Vassal states
Other Hegemonic Terms[edit]
Hegemonies are sometimes known as:
- Abeyances
- Autocracies
- Ascendacy
- Brotherhood
- Cabinet
- Central Committee
- Chiefdom
- Children of
- Codex
- Colonies
- Conglomerates
- Corporate States
- Defense
- Defense Front
- Demesnes
- Dependencies
- Diaspora
- Dictatorships
- Directorate
- Ecumene
- Emirates
- Fief
- Hammers of
- Hegemony
- Heliades
- Holdfast
- Holdings
- Knights of
- Lords of
- Magistracy
- Nadirs
- Oligarchies
- Order
- Palatinate
- Police States
- Primacies
- Primarchics
- Proctectorates
- Progress
- Provinces
- Providences
- Reaches
- Redoubt
- Shields of
- Sodality
- Sons of
- Spheres
- Subjugates
- Suzerainties
- Swords of
- Technate
- Technocracies
- Theocracies
- TED's or (Technologically Elevated Dictatorships).
- Trade Guild
- Unified Legislature
- Viceroyalty
Like all governments, sometimes the political terms in a polity's name may be misleading. Governments using this term in their name may actually vary greatly from the standard and accepted definition of the term.
Most Megacorporations use a hegemonic form of governance. They are sometimes called "corporate technocracies."
Five Most Common Power Structures[edit]
An Hegemony is one of the five most common power structures found in governance:
- Confederation
- Empire
- Federation or Federal State
- Hegemony
- Unitary State
Please see Government for more information.
