[Star Wars] Does the first order have planets? Are they in a full on war with the republic or are they more like a guerrilla terrorist organization?

IIRC they were a military junta in the Unknown Regions. The Imperial Remnant still existed in the galaxy as did the New Republic, whilst the Resistance and First Order duked it out on the edges of civilization. 

So yeah this trilogy was about a proxy war between two paramilitary groups. Riveting.
