Government

Each minor faction has its own Government type - stations and systems inherit from the minor faction that controls them. There is not much known about the effects of government type on the game's mechanics.

There are fourteen government types: None, Anarchy, Colony, Democracy, Imperial, Corporate, Communism, Feudal, Dictatorship, Theocracy, Cooperative, Patronage, Confederacy, and Prison Colony. None and Anarchy both allow crimes to be committed without recompense and ships here will not show up as WANTED thus it is recommended to keep an eye out for pirates.
