 Subject: [TML] Amount of self-government on member worlds

 IYTU, how autonomous
 are the 3I's member worlds?
 Per the OTU, there's a truly amazing
 variation in type of government of the Imperium's
 planets, but there's also "Imperial Nobles"
 listed assigned to member worlds. What function do they
 serve? Liaisons? Governors? Members of whatever government
 the world has? Something else? 
 How does the Emperor maintain any level of
 stability of income and levies with such an internal
 variety? Is there some standard policy of how to govern, or
 are High Nobility pointed at a volume of space and told to
 "Serve the Emperor's Interest"?

Also per the OTU, there are planetary charters & that's the 'bottom line', so to speak for most of the folks on most worlds as long as they never leave 'local jurisdiction' . One of the later CT LBB adventures set out in the SolRim went into some detail about this. Heck, there are even official Solomani Parties on most worlds out there &, on some worlds not under military occupation any more, the SolParty actually runs the local gov!
