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
Many homeworlds of the respective species are still divided into countries, but freshly established colonies on other planets are almost always monolithic and basically independent, since they sprawled from a single initial outpost, and time lag involved due to interstellar distances making remote management of the colony from a homeworld to be ineffective and frustrating at best.
