News Files - Transformers Government

Cybertron is a planet comprised of 16 provinces, 64 city-states, is orbited by two moons, each considered a city-state of its own, and directly governs one dwarf planet, which itself is comprised of five city-states. There are dozens of planets beyond the Hadean system where Cybertronians hold influence, but these worlds are no longer governed directly from Cybertron, instead operating as de facto independent worlds.

Before the Third Cybertronian War, or Great War, the Cybertron Republic was ruled by the Senate and the Prime. But in war, compromises must be made. Both the current Decepticon Empire and Autobot Commonwealths, who divvy up the planet between themselves, are effectively military dictatorships. The Decepticons are just more open about it.

When the war finally ends, and should the Autobots prevail, they intend to restore the previous government, though how they will address the rampant corruption that plagued the previous iteration is still unknown. Frankly, they have more pressing matters to contend with.
