Suppy, it is completely unrealistic to just own 20 star systems. I have made this same point a few times.

For one, if you can properly manage 20 systems, you will most likely be able to manage 5000 systems. Advances in technology would make FTL incredibly fast rapidly. This is like saying everyone's developing incredibly slowly and at exactly the same rate. Administration is easy once you get to an interstellar level, logistics are effectively handled by supercomputers.

Owned space does not mean settled space. The US owns northern Alaska, China owns the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayas, Russia owns Siberia, Brazil owns the Amazon, et cetera. These are all unsettled areas which have very few people in them, and make up quite a bit of their landmass. The same would go for much of an interstellar empire. Sure, several galaxies might be a bit much, but Mykarians can easily handle the logistics and everything, and they won't leave Perseus-Pisces. Ever.

Honestly, why are you getting upset about things that have nothing to do with you though?
