this kind of game is usually played by post with a few turns a month. A Fantasy version would be possible too. You can also use this for worldbuilding purposes.
Is my star empire big?
(50/50 | 7[d10]) Yes. +Event: Carry / Love
D6?
(50/50 | 1[d10]) No, and...
D8?
(50/50 | 3[d10]) No.
D10 then?
(50/50 | 8[d10]) Yes.
And it carries love! :3
Who lives here?
Impulsive female Dietitians and Nutritionist.
Deviant Health Safety Engineer.
Flexible Genetically engineered Urban planner.
Beautiful Rehab Counselor.
Apathetic Computer Systems Analyst.
Beautiful Tax Examiners, Collectors and Revenue Agent.
Stubborn Automotive mechanic.
Stubborn Purchasing Agent.
Hedonistic Regulatory Board Executive Director.
Deviant Carpenter Helper.
So what did we learn? Mostly white collar jobs. They apparently tend to be fat as it's their number one ministry- Public health in general is very important.
Urban planning is number three and they have genetic engineering. (Why are people fat and unhealthy then?)
They have problems with addictions.
Also: Computers.
Taxes are important obviously.
They use some kind of mechanical cars.
They have purchasing agents.
A regulatory board.
Also, they like to use wood.

(50/50 | 1[d10]) No, and...
How high is it - is it high?
(50/50 | 4[d10]) No.
D4?
(50/50 | 3[d10]) No.
What kind of weapons?

1 too?
(50/50 | 1[d10]) No, and...
What else happens?
Bestow / Victory.
They win?
(50/50 | 8[d10]) Yes.
What was it about?
Gratify / Competition.
What kind of competition?
Arrive / A plan.
Like a tech race?

There's a war?
(50/50 | 5[d10]) No, but... +Event: Abuse / Joy
Other empires are jealous of them now?
(50/50 | 9[d10]) Yes.
Maybe they should tell them they're still nice people and all. We don't have a ministry for that though.
New turn?
(Somewhat Likely | 9[d10]) Yes.
What happens?
Work hard / Stalemate.
The others have better rifles now too?
(50/50 | 8[d10]) Yes.

Maybe a new ministry?
(50/50 | 5[d10]) No, but...

Did they find out who sent the spy?
(50/50 | 1[d10]) No, and...
New turn?
(50/50 | 5[d10]) No, but...
What happens?
Overindulge / Suffering.
They feel very bad now?
(50/50 | 7[d10]) Yes.

(50/50 | 8[d10]) Yes.
D6?
(50/50 | 5[d10]) No, but...
D8?
(50/50 | 2[d10]) No.
D10?
(50/50 | 7[d10]) Yes.
New turn?
(Somewhat Likely | 2[d10]) No.
What happens?
Postpone / Intrigues.

(50/50 | 9[d10]) Yes.
So, were they successful?
(50/50 | 3[d10]) No.
New turn?
(50/50 | 5[d10]) No, but...
What happens?

Just a different one then - what kind of weapon?

Like with their weapon?
(50/50 | 1[d10]) No, and...
So quite a few things happened already: We won a small arms race - then the others caught up with us - we caught a spy and even tried to research magic/PSI. It's really easy to imagine this charming little space empire with very low tech.
