Politics and government
The Union is lead by the Monarch, but he is helped by the civilian government. The civilian government uses a unitary bicameral system. Legislative power is held by Congress which consists of the Senate and the Planetary Assembly. Executive power is held by the Royal Cabinet, which is lead by the Prime Minister with the Kings grace and elected by popular vote. The King however may overrule the Prime Minister’s decisions at any given time. The Cabinet is divided into multiple ministries that influence the civilian populace daily life. Although the Ministries of Colonies and Foreign Affairs work with the Military branch of society in some degrees. Apart from these institutions there also is the Royal Court which is the judicial part of the government.

Foreign policy
Emeraldian Foreign policy is dictated by the King himself. He is however assisted by the Prime Minister, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Royal War Council. This may initially seem as a long and slow method to make policy, but the King ultimately makes the final decisions and must enact any formal treaties with his own signature.

Military
Its place in Stoinian society has been solidified by the MacArthur Reforms where it became a separate entity from the civilian government with no oversight. The monarch holds absolute authority over the Armed Forces which he shares with the Strategos. Military personnel also don't receive any sort of salary during their service and both bases and starships are entirely self sustaining. After service, the person is granted a military pension with a starting capital to enter civilian life. It's estimated that the combined personnel of the Armed Forces, including reservists, consists of roughly 5% of the total Stoinian population.
Both the Stoinian Royal Army and Royal Navy are renowned war machines in Sector A1-0 for their vast fighting force and specialized machinery, tactics and doctrines. The Stoinian Armed Forces is among the most specialized armed forces within the Sector as it encompasses all types of terrain warfare. From jungles to dessert, from orbital insertions to EVA boarding warfare, its military units are trained in all facets and often specialize to fully master one type of terrain. Its Navy as well, though vast and estimated at a total of 530.000 ships in its arsenal, utilizes multiple classes of ships within each role to maximize winning chances whatever is thrown at them.
