Hey, gang. :)
I'm browsing the wiki page (http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Galactic_Empire) for the Empire, and I'm getting a little confuzzled. It doesn't look like the page has been updated to reflect that we've got a new Empress, and I'm trying to suss out how much of the government info there is.
One of the big things that's got me muddled is the lack of mention of COMPNOR. That not only encompasses the Imperial Security Bureau and Imperial Intelligence, but also the Coalition for Progress, the Coalition for Improvements, and the Sub-Adult Group. Where I'm getting confused is how those marry up with the Ministries listed on the wiki (http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=The_Central_Government).
If we look at a flowchart (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Compnor_flowchart.jpg) of what's in COMPNOR, it looks like the Coalition for Progress covers a lot of what the Ministries of Education, Public Works, and Economics would be doing; like the Coalition for Improvements covers the Ministries of Industry, Labour, and Resorces; and that the Ministry of the Interior - which sounds like the Home Office to me - would encompass the ISB at the very least.
Does this mean we've broken up COMPNOR, and spread it out between those Ministries? Or have we got it structured such that the Ministers are effectively our version of the Select Committee for COMPNOR, and that there are no "Ministries"?
Also -
Where does R.S. Esalis fit into all this?
Do we still have a Chancellor, or did they step aside (I don't quite remember that thread)?
Is there a Minister of Defense, or a Minister of War? Or does the military answer directly to the Empress, bypassing the civilian government completely?
Or have we more or less scrapped the ministaries entirely, and reverted back to the Palpatine / Wookieepedia way of structuring things?
I know we don't do much politics stuff at the moment, and this probably seems needlessly trivial... I've just gone and got myself confuzzled.
