OT: WAY Non-Canon

Apart from taking an interest in playing within the Tuffleyverse,  I am
also 
working separately on an entirely different human history.  I've
interested 
several friends in representing the powers that be in THAT universe. 
I'm 
still working on who the powers are, and at what stage in 
technological/spacefaring advancement they are (to FTL or not to FTL, 
colonies, etc.).  I've even been working on a set of rules to simulate
the 
economic, diplomatic, and military interplay between them.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any game or program out there that
already 
does that.  If and when they DO travel interstellar, I was considering 
borrowing the star map found in the Encyclopedia, but without the
political 
affiliations.  Who would I need to talk to to get permission to do that?
