If your Imperium looks like, that, that's cool. I don't see much evidence of 'democratic' ideals being especially important in the 31, at least not in canon materials. Sure, some worlds have democratic governments, but that's really not very common. I'm pretty sure feudal technocracy is more common than democracy.
