The First Order is lead by a guy with the title of Supreme Leader and has a super weapon.
North Korea is lead by a guy with the title of Supreme Leader and has nuclear weapons.
The existence of North Korea in our world doesn’t mean that functional governments don’t exist, it just means that the governments that do exist don’t want to engage in a never ending war to create a single world spanning government.
So is it that strange that following the fall of the Empire the Republic didn’t try to take over the entire galaxy? If they did that would they be any different from the Empire?
To me it makes far more sense that the Republic opted to just include systems that willingly joined them (which was probably most of the systems that were part of the Republic before the Empire) and maybe supply weapons and to resistance movements in systems that were under control of despotic factions like the First Order. Which is the scenario we see in TFA. Also, it’s more relevant to the world today.
Did we watch the same movies? There was no sign of any functional societies outside of slavers and remnant powers. The first order does not even have planets or a nation, just bases scattered around.
Why does the rebellion even still call themselfs that? Like the first order did not spring up over night. The whole setting of the Disney movies feels so wrong to me, it’s like the characters are in an empty place and nothing matters.

Also the space bombers are stupid.
