I'm minister of fashion, right OZ? You promised me...
(Yes, that means a ban on Minmatar and Caldari ships in Gallente space.)

On a serious note, why not have players running for and holding elected public office?
with an elected council (and say 4 month term, just to give players a chance to rotate)
1 vote, based on race, per character (so I'm excluded for example in Gallente elections)
example ideas of things officials could be able to control:
1. what is illegal and not illegal (alter rating by 1% per term)
2. Once per term move a system sec rating by +/- 0.1
3. Once per term move a empire standing towards another empire rating by +/- 0.1
4. Once per term set customs patrols (area, depth time etc)
5. insert other manic ideas...
now with these and other ideas you get a REAL living game in that the empires are playing chess with each other especially with faction warefare round the corner.
So Omber well done for starting the revolution.. long live Omber
@ your questions:
1. Because spirits is supposed to be illegal in Amarr and Caldari don't like people running around with personal firearms. Deal with it. Also, only Gallente and Minmatar has any form of democratic elections, and the Minmatar ones are a bit sketchy (meaning I don't know anything about Minmatar gov.).
2. Sec status affects asteroid quality, asteroid types, and quality of NPCs. Also, it's an integral part of route management.
3. This is going to happen, I believe, when the Gallente elections are pulled through. Basically it depends on which one of the three you voted on. You've got a peace-loving one (increased standings to all empires), a status quo, and a war-lovin' old sod (who'll most likely **** off Caldari and Amarr, both, rather quickly by acting like THEM)
4. Again, this is sec status dependant.
5. ...
As has been said, EVE politics is very much alive out in 0.0. To be part of it you just have to penetrate the thin layer that is either a) 0.0 entry system gate camps or b) alliance recruitment policies.
Hopefully faction warfare won't be to 0.0 PvP what level 4 agents were for 0.0 economy.
New sig coming soonÖ
