All empires have a government, ranging from Anarchy to Dictatorship. The difference between each type of government is only the way officials are elected. For example, in an Anarchic government anyone may request any government position, including that of the emperor, whereas in a Democratic empire whenever a certain position is requested, all citizens are able to cast a vote for the player they deem worthy to hold said position.

[[File:EmpireCitizens.png|thumb|right|Empire citizens window.]]
The type of government can be changed at any time by the emperor of the empire. This greatly reduces the important of the government type and commonly leaves any government type that allows for someone to takeover the emperor office unsafe for public empires. So when planning to have an empire with an open [[Immigration_Policy|immigration policy]], it is very important to read up on the different government types.
All empires have a government. Each [[empire]] has one main leader, commonly referred to as the ''emperor'', that controls everything. The emperor can however give other empire members permissions to help manage areas of the empire.
 
==Voting and Promotions==
Some government types allow players to vote. Players may set or change their current standing votes at any time. Once per week, votes are tallied and offices assigned.
 
Office assignments due to voting or military office promotion occur at 0:00 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Time UTC] on Saturdays. Here in Colorado, that's 5:00pm on Friday afternoon, 6:00pm when we're on daylight savings time.
 
Some government types permit players to request offices. Requests for office may be placed or changed at any time. The government type determines when your request might be considered. For example, when requesting an occupied office in a voting government type, you must wait until the next vote tally.


==Government Offices==
==Government Offices==
The [[Governance]] (F12) window's ''Citizen'' has controls for casting your vote and requesting offices.
The [[Governance]] (F12) window's ''Citizen'' lists all empire members, showing their government offices, and the boss hierarchy.

* '''Galaxy''' - holds authority over everything in the [[galaxy]].  
# Senator - A senator has authority over one or more [[sector]]s.
* '''Sector''' - holds authority over all [[Solar_System|solar system]]s in the [[sector]].
# Congressman - A congressman has authority over one or more [[System|solar system]]s.
* '''Solar System''' - holds authority over all [[world]]s in a solar system.
# Governor - A governor has authority over one or more [[world]]s. A planetary governor has authority over all its moons; a lunar governor has authority over a single [[moon]].

# Mayor - A mayor has authority over one or more [[cities]].
* '''City''' - holds authority over only the city.

'Update 2015-11-06: Governance Does Not Work"
The current implementation of governance does not work.

  • Government types eliminated, including all related code to handle various kinds of succession.
  • Voting eliminated.
  • Request for government office eliminated.
  • Immigration policy now has only two choices, open or password. By Request and By Invitation types eliminated. Empires with either of those settings will change to password.
