	Between the time of the Terran Alliance’s collapse and the formation of the Star League, the majority of political and industrial entities switched from democratic and meritocratic governance to hereditary and technocratic decision making. The fact many planets were also cut off from their capitals in terms of speedy communication until the advent of the HPG (which replaced the more limited KF JumpShip Pony Express) made autonomous feudalism a defining feature in societal hierarchy. You definitely had national rulers who can dismiss or executed treasonous planetary governors at will but they couldn’t be everywhere at once and had to delegate. Out of the multiple Noble Houses that emerged, a handful stuck out in terms of how long they have lasted and how much power they possess.

Additionally abusing their powers too much ran the risk of degrading their country’s functioning or inciting unrest in the form of coups.

	Compared to conventional scifi and other series like Warhammer 40k, the average civilian and soldier’s experience is ironically not too dissimilar to real life. what makes life in the Inner Sphere different is the highest levels of political, industrial, and commercial power are all cemented in the hands of established noble families. Ranging from influential and rich “Old Bloods” to history LARP’ing monarchs, social mobility is much harder. This started with the populace and colonies’s disillusionment with the corrupt elections of the Terran Alliance and was pegged in place after House McKenna (and later House Cameron) made the election of officials a ceremonial activity instead of an actually meaningful contest between multiple parties and candidates.
