This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Empire is actually quite literal too.
While their organized crime was the normal illegal and semi hidden type through a huge percentage of the galaxy they did also have worlds they literally were the legitimate and direct government for.
Some of the city states in Italy history do fit fairly well to this.
And in addition to being essentially a narco-state, the Hutt Cartel is also a rump state, being the remnants of the Hutt Empire, which was the largest and most powerful nation before the rise of the Galactic Republic.
