Sometimes groups that are independant from the government can give a hand or be a bunch of trouble. A good exemple of this would be these secret societies that were ploting against medieval monarchies. Another good exemple are corportions and groups form by them (sorta Recording Industries Association of America, in bigger/more important). I don't know if it could be something incorpored in GalCiv 1.3 or soemthing 
Exemples of groups:
- Secret societies
- Religious-based groups with influence (type Scientology on google, you'll see)
- Corporation-based groups (they could even try to take their investments elsewhere if they're not pleased)
- Citizen organizations (Greenpeace...)
- Criminal organizations
- others
Of course, it's not only about "There is an independant political force named ***" but more "The presence of this type of independant political force is ***". Maybe sometimes a single organization big enough to be named could exist... All this is about the level of organization of certain groups of all kinds.
