This page raises the question: if the Azinarsi live so fast that any star travel will completely disconnect them from home, is there a single Azinarsi empire at all? Or are they now three entirely separate cybercosms, connected only by their origin and tech level, which just traditionally all call themselves the same thing when interacting with meat-glaciers?

I think it's way more complicated than simple meatbag governments. Not all azinarsi even have matching neural structures, and any known form of government would be useless at best in the cyberspace, where even time is indeed subjective. It's post-singularity for a reason.

TRIVIA
The Alliance space stretches for an impressive 16 thousand light years along the longest axis and contains approximately 12 billion star systems. Despite that, 99.99% of those star systems haven't been explored even by an automatic mapping drone yet, and the borders of the Alliance space are defined mostly by the reach of spaceships from the nearest colony or space station, and in general are purely informative.
