Staatsherrschaft

The term Staatsherrschaft (plural: Staatsherrschaften; Galactic Standard: State Dominion) refers to different semi-autonomous polities that freely (or often forcibly under previous diplomatic treatises) associate with the political identity and economic machinery of the Menschlicher Sternenstaat. Unlike Staatskommissariats, which operate under detached governmental organizations that answer directly to the various high command offices of the Sternenstaat (such as military occupied zones), and unlike Autonomes Staatsgebiets that operate with special autonomous privileges (such as Staat naval and trading outposts), Staatsherrschaften are often both large in size and considered to be integral to the territory of the Human Star State even if their populations are mainly xenoi in composition.

History
The first Staatsherrschaft to be declared was the reformed Kizankai Shimanate, after thirty seven years of military occupation under three different Staatskommissariats (Staatskommissariat Ziai, Staatskommissariat Kiza, and Staatskommissariat Oblki) and the start of the newfound Subjugation Wars. A new Shima was chosen by the ruling Sternenkaiser to be the monarch of its people, being functionally a subordinate to the imperial power of Vera. With a new non-human leader to finally directly rule over them, the Kizankai became much more docile in regards to human subjugation, especially with their sparing from xenocide that was "well-deserved to be executed".

Work in progress.
