Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but this simply factually not true. Sectors:
** Have zero control over the military aside from building spaceports(and you can upgrade/build those yourself if you want)
** Have no input whatsoever on what you research
** Do not control colonization at all
** Do not control survey efforts at all
** Cannot implement policies or edicts differing from their 'imperial overlords'
** Must contribute resources to the empire at a rate you designate, and have their development dicated by what the empire designates
** Have jack diddly squat to say about any aspect of foreign policy/diplomacy/wars/trades/rivalries/etc.
** Must accept you adding/removing systems, changing their borders and therefore economic balance at your whim
Even with the sectors at their worst, there is simply no comparison between them and the 'imperial' government. They aren't remotely similar. They have zero, zilch, nada input on most aspects of the game.
