There is the MgT book Dynasty, which is a lot like Pocket Empires, except with far less bookkeeping. One thing it doesn't keep is the genetics (where each parent can give you a die for your characteristics), but beyond that it's a pretty good approximation. I liked the book so much that I wrote the Aslan mini-expansion for Dynasty, which was published in Compendium 3.
I love Dynasty (but haven't played it). I've yet to find a single person who has played it, unfortunately.
I really wanted to run a play-by-email version of it, but it was wholly unsuited for that kind of play. It really needs face-to-face discussion. I thought it would lend itself to email in one order per turn, but it's more of an RPG at a larger scale (dynasties instead of characters).

If you ever get Compendium 3, it features a new style of Dynasty: the Aslan Clan. That was mine, and I think it was one of my better efforts for Traveller. If anyone has played with them, I'd be interested in knowing what you think.
Oh, and Dynasty can be played solo. Just roll up some opposition and start playing.

I haven't seen it, but I'm immensely curious about how you tackled the organisatorial gap between the several hundred strong pride and the tens of billions strong clan.
