the Terran Empire;
the Merseian Roidhunate;
the Wilderness;
the Betelgeusean System;
the Domain of Ythri;
the Dispersal of Ymir;
the Gorrazani remnant;
the former Chereionite empire;
the barbarian realms.
Some of these realms overlap whereas others clash. The Dispersal even owns Jupiter in the same system as Terra.
A later map would show:
human civilizations in three or more spiral arms;
the Cloud Universe with its one colonized planet and many mining beacons.

Kaor, Paul!
The Dispersal of Ymir overlaps Terra and other domains because its hydrogen breathing dominant race, the Ymirites, have too little in common with oxygen breathing species for there to be much likelihood of either friendly or hostile contact.
But your comment about a 3D galactic map showing the Terran Empire and its neighbors and enemies reminded me of this bit about the "plotting tank" mentioned in Chapter II of THE REBEL WORLDS: "He didn't tell that its spectacular three dimensional star-projections were mainly for visitors. The smallest astronomical distance is too vast for any pictorial map to have much value. The real information was stored in the memory banks of unpretentious computers which the general public was not allowed to look on."
