Seems to me there are an equal number of interstellar ruling councils (see Babylon 5 or Mass Effect), colonial defense forces (see Old Man's War or Hammer's Slammers series, which also has monarchies if I recall correctly), Terran Federation (see Starship Troopers or Ender's Game series or Battlestar Galactica) and the like in SF literature.
