Jump limits make sense, but they're not official in the Tuffleyverse.
Other
interpretations: the smaller states could be colonies that became
independent (the "Yet Another NAC Break Away Colony" syndrome); or the
Major powers could have taken the easily-terraformed places, and the
lesser
powers took what they could get.  The Alarishi Empire, for instance, has
three M stars and no habitable planets (at least until the Unfortunate
Incident on Cibola gets resolved--it's possible we could end up with a
livable planet out of that)
