As far as my empires go.


 * Persan - Democratic stratocracy. Only those who reach a certain military rank can run for political office and military service is mandatory (not that you need to serve an active combat role), but with leaders being voted on the citizens having vast freedoms and the ability to make appeals to government. Due to military promotion being based on merit there is also heavy elements of meritocracy and group mind thanks to the empathetic connection.
 * Scelus Purification - Hive Mind
 * Scelus Reformation - Hive Mind with democratic elements as their hive mind is much like an individual with multiple personalities that make decisions via consensus.
 * Affonire Republic - Democracy and Ethnocracy. Basically their a democractic nation, but with a bunch of other countries of species seen as lesser under their thumb that they make do all their fighting for them. The Affonire are a deconstruction of democracies and pacifists always being good guys as the racist system by which they are run could be overthrown if the people stopped electing leaders that reinforced said racist system.
 * Trahoxi Imperium - Hegemonic monarchy. They're ruled by a ruling family, but their control is very loose and may of the government systems of the civilizations they conquered or absorbed still remain.
