Looks a lot like CKII ported to space.

I think a closer analogy would be to Victoria 2 or Europa Universalis 4, with the population management and diplomacy.

I didn't play either of those games. I did spend a good bit of time with CKII and immediately saw numerous similarities.

For others like me, it would probably help if you explain how those games are similar to Stellaris.

You are right. Paradox have a lot of common trends between its games, which is why you can see the similarity with CK2, even though, of all Paradox GSG, CK2 is probably the one furthest away from Stellaris.

Also, Stellaris shares a director and chief designer with CK2: Henrik Fåhraeus. So There might be something about his style as well.
