Mod «Decentralized Empires» for Stellaris (v3.4.*)

This mod gives you an opportunity to reform your empire into something like the Holy Roman Empire or the Galactic Republic where every system is relatively autonomous while they still remain your subject.

This mod is an updated version of Decentralized Empires by George (most credit) and merged / extended version of Kingmaker by Emperor Scorpio. Most of the effects and the way everything works is the same as in the original, so please see the original description for more info.

It might seem a really bad idea to split up your empire but it gives both you and your new subjects hefty bonuses to production and happiness.

Please keep in mind this release is more or less a beta. I'm releasing it now because I feel like it's mostly done, but I'm not going to promise you that you won't find some bugs. I appreciate all feedback on things that are bugged or can be improved.
