There are dozens of planets in the Trading Alliance, and all of them recognize the Galactic Government. They really don't worry about worlds who don't, aside from the rules and guidelines for contact with another world (which generally say avoid all contact).
> As the universe has been ordered so far, there have been a variety of independent powers, and certainly no central government overseeing them. I had assumed this Galactic Government was a new player in this side of the Parodyverse, encouraged to spread into our part of space by the sudden vacancy, but from your answers it sounds like everyone out there is supposed to already be a part of it, or at least know of it and this "Company"?

That's because the story is told from their point of view. They don't really know or care about much of what else is out there.

Eventually some of that will be covered, when Sir Muphrey makes contact.
