: The Roman Empire model seems to be quite accurate.
: This situation does make a lot of sense too.
: Since the Republic was the only large scale government in
: the Galaxy it would not need a large standing army. After all,
: there was no external threat and apperently the Jedi were
: sufficient as an internal peackeeping force. (A large army
: maintaining internal peace would be seen as an attempt to increase
: the power of the central government and probably be opposed by
: the individual member states anyway.)
