The political powers blocks of the Empire can be slice in to three parts. The ...... , vertical slice (political blocks/groups) and on a social level (imperial estates). Each power block has is own goals. affiliation and tools to influence imperial politics.

On the vertical axis — along provinces and the royal heirs — can the Empire be generally divided into five blocks of opinion, each shaped by one of the heirs and most prevalent in that House's home regions. Those mold the political groups, which articulate a large part of the imperial politics. On a social level — along the imperial estates — can the Empire be as well divided into several blocks. Those imperial estates have strict rules and and traditions, which also shapes the imperial landscape. Visitors to the empire should understand that those groups aren't mostly made of people which have by choice associating oneself with a political group. It is more the case that the hierarchical feudal system — with its alliances and the estates — bounds you to a certain block. Within the capsuleer class are those boundaries not the same and a "free" align to a certain group is more likely.

Orthodox Diplomats & Neo Reclaimers

The Empire has several political groups, which are mostly affiliate with one of the royal families or vise versa. As for the latter, a strong case can be made, that its is the families which are the main actors in the political system; and therefore the actual political group. Nevertheless, the resulting image would be the same: Five main political groups and two political circles. Those two political circles are result of the empires history, more precisely the Moral Reforms. Which transferred the power of the Council of Apostles to the Emperor and the newly formed Privy Council. One side believes in the old ways, as the other side wants even a stronger central power.

Imperial Estates

The imperial estates are a social groups, that are constrained by law (privileges and/or disadvantages) and clearly separated from each other. Their rights and privileges; which shapes greatly their political goals and are subject of imperial politics. On the top of the estate pyramid stands the emperor, royal families followed by the holders. On the third level, the vast majority of people, are the commoners; which can wildly range in their wealth, influence and power. The Clergy stands in and out side this order in the same time. Visitors will find very power clerics (Speakers of Truth), which can share almost as much, or at times even more, power as the royalty; but also lower cleric with almost no influence.
