Hegemony

Hegemony (Government) Synopsis

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.

Hegemonic Characteristics

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

Hegemonies are sometimes known as:

• Abeyances
• Autocracies
• Colonies
• Conglomerates
• Corporate States
• Demesnes
• Dependencies
• Dictatorships
• Heliades
• Nadirs
• Oligarchies
• Police States
• Primacies
• Primarchics
• Proctectorates
• Spheres
• Subjugates
• Suzerainties
• Technocracies
• Theocracies
• TED's or (Technologically Elevated Dictatorships).

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

• Confederation
• Empire
• Federation or Federal State
• Hegemony
• Unitary State
