Because in the early stages of the Empire, there was a period of war-torn history.
At that time, a person unified the war-torn Earth and after unification declared himself emperor, turning the unified nation into the Human Empire.
Of course, this kind of retrograde behavior was soon ended.
But because of this, civil wars could break out again at any time.
So, just like the Empire now shifts its contradictions externally, a nominal democratic system with military power was thus born.
The ruling class's approach was to use the gathered military power to expand, turning internal conflicts into external ones, which was also one of the causes of the last era of expansion.
Moreover, in the end, power is just another form of force, and in a world where individuals can surpass the power of groups, power is not really important—at least not for Chen Ming.
Therefore, Chen Ming doesn't care about the situation of the Empire or what political system it has.
