The Megatraveller Rebellion Sourcebook is the best of the core books for this game. It provides a wealth of information, both static and dynamic, and is well organised. This book is certainly essential for any Megatraveller campaign and is strongly recommended.

An underlying tenent of the Third Imperium is that travel times don't lend themselves to a democratic style of interstellar government, hence the lack of such institutions among the Rebellion factions.

I don't seem to recall the Dutch East Indies being particularly democratic ;-)
