While 3D maps are doable, they won't serve us well as anything jammed behind an other visualization of an power's territory won't be visible. Big chance the colors will clash each other, painful to perceive the picture.

Instead, I favor an actual top-view 2D map, preferably a SVG against an background image depicting a galaxy. Isometric also works, but it skews the perspective and impression of the territories' size and expansion.
