[[File:Populated Galaxy.png|thumb|320px|A galaxy populated by multiple empires]]
An '''Empire''' is a group of planets and star systems that are ruled by the same [[government]] and controlled by a single player (or AI). Empires may have a variety of governments such as a democracy, oligarchism, despotism or imperial rule.

[[Ethics]] are the most defining features of a space empire; they affect the behavior of AI empires, likely [[technologies]], available [[policies]] and [[edicts]], valid [[government types]], the opinions of other empires, and - perhaps most importantly - provide the fuel for internal strife in large and diverse empires.
[[Civics]] are the second-most defining features of a space empire; they affect the finer details of the empire's internal structure as well as having certain effects on the empire's behavior.

It should be noted that the name of the player empire and its government structure can always be changed in the government window.

Each empire starts with a basic setup that's modified by its origin, authority, civics, and species archetype.

== Default home system ==
<!-- scripted_effects/01_start_of_game_effect.txt: generate_home_system_resources -->
The default home systems deposits total 12-13 {{iconify|Energy}}, 12-13 {{iconify|Minerals}}, and 5-6 {{iconify|Research}} of up to two random types. The smaller deposits won't have mining or research stations built on them yet.

{{SVersion|3.3}}
The Origin represents the background of a species before it unified itself into an empire. In games with randomly generated AI empire most Origins are unique, meaning only one empire with that origin can be generated.

== Capital ==
{{SVersion|3.3}}
The capital is the ruling seat of an empire as well as the final destination for all its [[Trade#Trade_routes|trade routes]]. An empire's capital can be moved once every 10 years for a cost of 250 {{iconify|influence}} if the empire is at peace. An empire's capital planet and system are marked by gold star corners on the system and galaxy maps.

The capital has its own [[Designation#Special_Designations|world designation]] with the following effects.

== Empire size ==
{{SVersion|3.3}}
Empire Size is a measure of an empire's expansion. It is increased by 10 for each colony, 1 for each system, district and pop and 2 for each owned [[Planetary management#Branch_Offices|Branch Office]]. Empire Size can be affected by the following:

Note that the "per pop" effects and the "from pops" are two different categories of size reduction. Both groups are additive within themselves, but multiplicative between each other. So pops with the {{iconify|Docile}} trait with a level 1 governor in a {{iconify|Fanatic Pacifist}} empire with {{iconify|Beacon of Liberty}} will contribute the following to the empire size:

<math>\text{Size contribution} = \text{Base size contribution} \cdot (1 - \text{Per pop modifiers}) \cdot (1 - \text{From pop modifiers})</math>

<math>\text{Size contribution} = 1 \cdot (1 - 0.10 - 0.02) \cdot (1 - 0.30 - 0.15) = 0.484</math>


Each point the Empire Size above 100 increases tradition cost by {{red|+0.2%}} and technology cost by {{red|+0.1%}}. The penalty can be affected by the following authorities:

== {{anchor|Sectors}} Sector systems == 
{{SVersion|3.3}}
Sectors are administrative regions within an empire. Every empire will start with a core sector, named after the homeworld and extending up to four hyperlanes away from the capital. Any colonized planet more than four hyperlanes away from another sector capital can be selected to become the sector capital of a new sector, with the planet becoming marked by blue star corners on the system and galaxy maps. The new sector will extend up to four hyperlanes away from the sector capital. Wormholes and Gateways are not counted for this calculation. Each sector can have a Governor assigned to it.

All sectors, including the core sector, can be given a Sector Focus. Choosing a Sector Focus will make the sector develop itself automatically towards a given direction as long as it has resources, reducing micromanagement.

Energy credits and minerals can be added to a Shared Stockpile for all Sectors to use or given manually to each Sector. Resources transferred to sectors will be converted into a wildcard resource at a 1:1 ratio and it can be spent on planetary construction as though it were energy credits or minerals. Shared and Sector stockpiles are limited to the amount of energy credits you may store. Beyond that, it is wasted.

== Relative power ==
Relative Power is a measure of how much empires are ahead of one another in terms of resource production, fleet power or researched technologies. A Relative Power of {{yellow|Superior}}'''/'''{{yellow|Inferior}} means that an empire has 50% more (1.5x) resource production, fleet power or researched technologies and a Relative Power of {{red|Overwhelming}}'''/'''{{green|Pathetic}} means that an empire has 150% more (2.5x) resource production, fleet power or researched technologies.

Relative Power is split into three categories: Fleet Power, Economic Power and Technology Level.

'''Fleet Power:''' The combined fleet power of every owned fleet.
* {{green|+1}} per 1 Fleet Power

'''Economic Power:'''
A weighted sum of all monthly ''income'', including income from trade agreements. Monthly ''spending'' is not part of this score. The various resources are weighted the same as their ''base'' market price (base energy price for 1 unit):
* {{green|+1}} per {{icon|energy}}{{icon|minerals}}{{icon|food}} basic resources
* {{green|+2}} per {{iconify|Consumer Goods}}
* {{green|+4}} per {{iconify|Alloys}}
* {{green|+10}} per {{icon|exotic gases}}{{icon|rare crystals}}{{icon|volatile motes}} common strategic resources
* {{green|+20}} per {{icon|dark matter}}{{icon|living metal}}{{icon|zro}} rare strategic resources

'''Technology Level:''' 60 + the combined base Tech Cost of all researched technologies, divided by 100. Repeatables only count 0.33x as much as regular technologies.
* {{green|+60}} Base Technology Level
* {{green|+0.01}} per 1 base {{icon|research}}Tech Cost of all researched technologies, including repeatable technologies

The formula to calculate the overall power of an empire is: <math>\text{Overall Power} = \text{Fleet Power} * 2 + \text{Economic Power} * 3 + \text{Technology Level} * 1</math>

== Victory score ==
{{SVersion|3.3}}
Victory score tallies an empire's total accomplishment. The empire that has the highest score when the Victory Year arrives is declared winner. The Victory Year is configurable and can be disabled altogether. An empire will always declare victory, if it's the only one that can do so. All players may continue the game session normally even after an empire declares victory and the victory is, in practical terms, of little concern.

The Victory Window shows a total score for each empire and its ranking, as well as a breakdown by category. The categories are as follows:

'''Economic Strength:''' {{green|+1}} per 1 Economic Power based on Relative Power '''OR''' {{green|+5000}} if the Empire has no economy.

'''Technology Level:''' {{green|60 +0.25}} per 1 Technology Level over 60 based on Relative Power

'''Number of Systems:''' {{green|+10}} per system

'''Number of Colonies:''' {{green|+50}} per colony

'''Number of Pops:''' {{green|+2}} per pop, regardless of type

'''Subject Empires:''' {{green|+50%}} of a subject empire's score is given to the overlord

'''Federation:''' {{green|+10%}} of each other federation member's score is shared by all federation members

'''Crisis Ships Killed:''' {{green|+10}} per crisis ship destroyed

'''Relics Collected:''' Each Relic grants a large amount of score. The score of each Relic is shown on the [[Relics]] page.

== Empire modifiers ==
{{SVersion|3.3}}
Empire Modifiers are gained through a variety of actions such as event choices or diplomacy with enclaves. They affect the entire empire and as such bring large benefits or penalties.

=== Permanent modifiers ===
Permanent Empire Modifiers are always positive and last the entire game. They can only be gained through events.
