Democracy is an illusion. The Republic is weakness. The Empire is strength.

It is quite amusing how passionate people pursue their politics and exercise voting for those individuals who best align with their views. In their naïveté they believe that they are somehow free and have an actual say in their government. In any democratic-type system, but especially a Republic, the people have no real power. They are slaves to the corrupt and the greedy, the bureaucrats who would sell their own mother to get re-elected. That is why an Empire is superior.

In a Republic, the politicians care about just one thing: gaining power. The people suffer through their corruption and ineptitude. Crises go unresolved; economies falter under the allowed ruthless greed of corporations and special interests, the true rulers of any Republic. And the politicians serve to advance the agendas of the corporations and their conglomerates, not the agendas of the people.

In an Empire, all are subordinate to the Emperor. The corporations and special interests are allowed their profits and gains, but they must abide by the will of the Emperor and must do no harm to the collective good of the Imperial citizenry, or they will be destroyed. And what of the bureaucrats? They are purged and forgotten, their vices and selfishness wiped out. And this is good for the citizenry.

In a Republic, the politicians care only about getting more power and devote all their time to gaining it. In an Empire, the rulers have absolute power and thus are free from the distraction of trying to gain more. As a result they are free to do their jobs and ensure peace and prosperity across the galaxy.

Under the Emperor, Moffs and Grand Moffs serve to maintain control over sectors while planetary governors under those Moffs keep watch over individual worlds. The military serves as the arm of enforcement under direct control of the Emperor but useable by the Moffs in accordance with Imperial policy.

Under these leaders, the various ministries concerning treasuries and infrastructure operate quite normally as they would in a Republic, except that the upkeep of an Empire is non-political. These people serve in their capacity as workers in everyday jobs to keep the system running smoothly.

What does all this mean? Well, Moffs and Grand Moffs control sectors just like Senators once did. But without elections or special interests there is no corruption. All must be loyal to the Empire and advance the Imperial agenda for the benefit of all. And organizations like Imperial Intelligence and COMPNOR ensure loyalty for all.
One might say a flaw in the system is an abuse of power by a few, but that is not the case in a true Empire. The Emperor and the Moff Council work toward common goals and exchange ideas and action is decided simply and easily for the benefit of the Imperial citizenry. In some cases you might say Moffs and military personnel ambitiously jockey for position, and that is the case. But never would such jockeying interfere with the good of the Empire nor be their only task like the bureaucrats of a Republic. In fact, it makes for a strong Empire, where its leaders keep trying to outdo each other with things that inevitably benefit the Empire.

And as for the citizens themselves, they are free in their lives. The Empire keeps vigilant watch for Rebellion and dissent, and criminals are punished ruthlessly to protect the innocent. But other than that they are unrestricted in their lives and are free to express themselves and live out their freedoms in Imperial society.

The Empire provides a rock, a bastion of strong central power that will not fail as the Republic, New Republic, and Galactic Federation did. The Empire is strength and unity. The Empire is victory without war, but war of absolute ruthlessness if necessary.

Embrace peace and freedom. Embrace a strong government that will protect its citizens. Reject corruption and bureaucracy. Reject corporate control and special interests.

The dream that Palpatine created was great yet flawed, but truly and finally in the Legacy Era the Empire has become everything it should be.
