The full name of the Human Empire is "The United Empire of All Mankind and Intelligent Life", which means that it rules over all life, including humans, and is the most powerful empire in the galaxy, and it is also the most powerful country known to mankind.

However, in private, people like to call the Human Empire the Great Sage Dynasty, because in the early days of the establishment of the Empire, His Majesty, the founding emperor of the Empire, set the name of the country as Holy, and the full name at that time was called "The Great Sage Dynasty of the United Empire of All Mankind".

It's just that later, with the expansion of the human empire, in order to show the inclusiveness of the empire, the name was changed to the current name, which may be similar to the name of the Great Sage Dynasty that still pops up from time to time underneath, and the official will naturally not say anything about it, but the word Great Sage will no longer appear on all official documents.

The Great Sage Dynasty is also the only imperial dynasty in human history that has existed for more than 3,000 years, when the starship girls rebelled successfully under the leadership of Marshal Xiaoyao, the entire galaxy split into hundreds of countries of different sizes, conquest against each other, it can be called the most chaotic period of mankind after the era of the universe, and the Spring and Autumn Warring States period of the ancient earth period is almost the same.

This chaotic era lasted for six or seven hundred years, and then a generation of heroes rose up, and it took 300 years to unify the entire universe and establish the current human empire, which is the origin of the Great Sage Empire. Later, mankind felt the chaos of the Warring States Period, and the increasingly urgent threat of stars and beasts, coupled with the decisive decentralization of power by the Great Sage Dynasty, forming a system similar to a constitutional monarchy, so the monarchy has been very stable, lasting nearly 3,000 years, and it still exists.

At present, the distribution of power in the human empire is very complicated, the imperial family, the imperial court, the major families, the major town guard offices, the major metropolitan governors, and the major planetary administrative institutions all have their own spheres of influence and control certain rights...... This is also a matter of no choice, after all, the universe is too big, if you want to centralize everything in the center, then the entire universe will definitely fall into chaos again, and the place must be given enough self-control.

It is very difficult to explain the power structure in detail, so here is a brief overview of the power structure.

First of all, the most basic administrative unit of the empire is the city, and a planet is divided into several cities, just like the village in the Earth Age. The superior in the city is the Planetary Administration, which is managed by the Planet's Administrator. These two levels of units formed the basic administrative apparatus of the empire. Both units had a great deal of autonomy, and as long as they paid their taxes to the court on time and fulfilled the instructions issued by the court, the court generally did not dictate the details.

Most administratively inhabited planets are managed through the management model described above. However, there are also some planets, because the star beasts are often active nearby, so the town guard admiral is in charge of the town, and the town guard admiral controls all the rights of the entire planet.

There are also a very small number of planets, where there are two administrative systems, the Administration Bureau and the Town Governor, which are generally geographically important, even if they are economically active, have a large population, and are also military powerhouses.

Because of the importance of these planets, power is divided into two parts, one by the Planetary Administration and the other by the Governor of the Town.

It is worth mentioning that the Planetary Administration is directly responsible to the Imperial Court and is subject to the management of the Imperial Court, and the right to appoint personnel is also in the hands of the Imperial Court. With the exception of the Imperial Court and the Imperial Supreme Court, no other institution has the authority to remove the staff of the Planetary Administration.

The town guard commander is directly responsible to the military department, all orders are directly issued by the military department, and the military department also directly controls the transfer and command power of these commanders, and the orders of the imperial court are of no use to the town guard commander, and the town guard commander only accepts the orders of the military department.

Here you can see that the governing body of the human empire has been very clearly divided into two parts, one is the imperial court controlled by civilian officials, and the other part is the military department controlled by the admirals. Sometimes they cooperate with each other, sometimes they quarrel with each other, and in any case, they check and balance each other, which forms the cornerstone of the balance of the empire.

And in legal theory, there is another existence that is above the imperial court and military department, that is, the imperial family...... After all, the royal family is nominally in control of the entire empire.

It's just that with the decline of imperial power, the royal family has consciously put itself in a very high position, and at the same time, it is also a position that is detached from the masses and power. Only when there is a real quarrel between the two, or even a fight, will the imperial family have to intervene to mediate, redistribute interests, and maintain the harmony of the empire.

This is obviously a very smart decision, if those heroes and generals who have risen from the people want to peek into the supreme power, they can climb up in the imperial court and the military department, and finally climb to the position of the prime minister of the empire and the generalissimo of the space battleship, and then they will reach the top.

Although there is still an imperial royal family on their heads, those heroes and warriors clearly know how important the existence of the imperial family is to the unity of the human empire, and it is impossible for any rebellion to replace the prestige accumulated by the imperial family for 3,000 years. Unless someone wants to plunge mankind into the turmoil of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period again, there will be absolutely no heroes and generals who dare to depose the royal family...... Anyway, the royal family doesn't have too much practical power, it's more just a mascot, and if you keep it, you can keep it.

This is the most basic power structure of the human empire, but there are still some forces that are outside of this power structure, that is, some independent military families, commercial families, and some small principalities and the like. They generally own several planets that they have full control, as well as their own fleets that are not normally subject to orders from the military department, and their own commercial systems...... has become a relatively independent individual in the human empire.

The formation of these forces is a remnant of history, such as some forces that voluntarily surrendered when the human empire was unified, and were made principalities by His Majesty the Founding Emperor, and they have always existed;

There are also many powerful star admirals and starship girls in a row, and a large number of contacts and forces have been accumulated from generation to generation, and the bloodlines of their children have also been strengthened, and large families have been formed; For example, von Hindenburg's family and Chen Shihan's family.

Others are commercial military monopoly groups that have gradually formed purely by virtue of their technological advantages and business talents, such as Ivanka Trump (because the word ***** has been blocked, and Trump will be used instead in the future, everyone can understand!) Behind White Eagle Heavy Industries.

Don't think that White Eagle Heavy Industries is just a simple military industrial group, behind any military industrial group that can prosper for a long time, there is actually a fleet that can support its existence, and the military strength behind White Eagle Heavy Industries is not inferior to any other principality and family.

All in all, although almost all the forces of the current Human Empire hold high the banner of the Imperial Family, they recognize the Imperial Family as the leader of all mankind. However, the actual power of the imperial family is not great, except for important ceremonies, festivals and other ceremonial things, the imperial family has rarely issued such a thing.

Sometimes not a single decree has been issued for even a year, and the admirals have received more military orders from the military headquarters, and it has not been seen for many years that such a decree has been issued directly to individuals...... It's not that the imperial family doesn't want to issue it, but once a holy decree is issued to a certain admiral, it is a violation of the rights of the military department to some extent.

Therefore, the imperial family and the military department have also formed a quite tacit understanding in so many years of getting along, what is the power of the military department, what is the power of the imperial family, each is very clear in their hearts, and the two sides will never cross the line...... Then this sudden decree is extremely abrupt.

Liu Nian Feng, who is not deeply involved in politics, may not know what this holy decree means, but Alice and Ming Yue'er behind Liu Nian Feng, after Liu Nian Feng knelt on the ground, their faces instantly became cloudy. The imperial family suddenly broke the consistent tacit understanding between themselves and the military department, and issued this holy decree to Liu Nian Feng, in case there is any political whirlpool behind this, the lonely Liu Nian Feng can only become a victim of this whirlpool.

If she could, Alice would love to get Liu Nianfeng to give up accepting this decree and just act as if nothing had happened. But it has even been sent to Liu Nian Feng, and it can't be taken if Liu Nian Feng wants to, otherwise Liu Nian Feng will have an even bigger trouble.

Not to mention the various calculations and worries in Alice and Mingyue'er's hearts, after being surprised, Liu Nianfeng, who was fearless, honestly knelt on his knees and respectfully accepted this holy decree from the imperial family.

"Admiral Flowing Nian Feng receives the order!" Marshal Christine saw Liu Nianfeng kneeling on his knees, and a fine light flashed in his eyes, and then spread out and even read out loudly, "Following the universe and the desolation, the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, the edict said: Liu Nianfeng, a candidate of the Qingzhou Star District Zhiyuan Starship Girl Academy, is extremely talented and powerful, and it is rare to break the record of my empire that has not been seen for a thousand years in the government examination, and it is the luck of my empire!" ”

"In recognition of the honor of the Flowing Year Feng, I have given 20,000 resource points, 100 million star coins, 500 meritorious deeds, and 5 elite-level equipment boxes to encourage you."

"Liu Nianfeng, this is a reward from Your Majesty, take the order!" After reading it, Marshal Christine sent the holy decree in his hand to Liu Nianfeng's hand with a smile on his face.
