Sauce is Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It essentially explores the question of what is better between a fragile and easily corrupted democracy, and a benevolent dictatorship. Expect conversations about the merits of different forms of government interspersed with heinous treasons and gigantic space battles where no-one ever thinks of using the 3rd dimension for some reason.
It’s adapted from a series of SF novels and the anime is from the 80s/90s so kinda dated but still holds up.
There are 110 episodes in the main series plus 50 more so you’re in for the long haul, but it’s great! There was a reboot a couple years ago subtitled “Die Neue These”, but I think it only went on for like half a season.
Very old but if you crave space opera with competent characters with really thought provoking concepts its fantastic. Closest i got to anything like it since is Tytania.

Second the recommendation.
