What are the main forms of governments in your world? How are they ruled, and how is the ruler determined? Do you have a group of people in charge that are of equal power, a system that checks everyone's power, or something else entirely?
For Equinoxia, you a realm master for many of the core realms. These realm masters have almost complete control of the realm that they are in, but don't act very often. They are more so for keeping the powers within the realms in check and ensuring that everyone within is safe. The only beings that have power above them are the gods, for they are the ones that gave them the title, and legends, for they have been around, seen much more, and are (sometimes) much stronger than them. Otherwise, they are superior to all.
For individual civilizations inside the realms, many important families have the power. Many of the important families are that way because they had ancestors to have done great acts or that ascended to a god, but that isn't always the case. Some families are important for the actions they were capable of doing, such as defending the nation from ruin, although if they do so, then they are also likely to become ruler of that land.
Beyond there, power trickles down in different ways, greatly depending on the nations. Some will give more power to the working class, while others will give power to the rich. It varies is far too much to explain.
