Yeah, I was mainly thinking governments only, but we don't know the name of the Kzinti government for example. It's been called the Kzinti Hegemony sometimes and the Kzinti Patriarchy at others. Then there's older races like the Preservers and Progenitors who were galaxy-spanning civilizations, but we don't know what they called their government, if anything.

I think the template should include anything that's at least as big as a few star systems. If it's a single planet "empire" that annexes a neighboring system, I don't think that's big enough.

Does that make sense?
