Introduction
Liberated New Hope is a small nation within the Raumreich Oversector wholey contained within the Morning Star System, despite the best efforts of many military, business, and political leaders.
Economy
However, despite its small size, the nation carrys with it similar economic power comparable to that of even Vernii. This is almost entirely due to the local government's support of a hands free capitolist society, a response to the former Clergy regime's tight control on material and goods. In this environment, vast corporations and other businesses have flourished (thought some say these corporations are similarly oppressive to the old regime).
Culture
The society is completely driven by a "do as you may" mentality directly supported by the government, who's only concern is to enforce what few laws do exist with great prejudice. All this, of coruse, stems from the social oppression of the Clergy, however many would say the current free state of society is nothing more than a temporary and unhealthy backlash that will eventually normalize.
There are a few taboos, though. First off, the concept of religion is thought of as an oppressive tool by tyrants and on "The Homeland" (as True Hope is refered to) it is near-strictly forbidden by social and government conventions. Another, oddly enough, is for women to dress too unprovocatively unless of certain economic classes, something that stems from a belief in and for promiscuity (which is explained in the next paragraph) and an unashamadly male-dominated society.
Other peculiar characteristics directly related to the former Clergy regime is the cultures emphasis and encouragement on many things deemed indecent or immoral by other societies. Promiscuity is not thought of as a flaw but more an expression of free love. Trickery in the case of commercial practise (and no-where else) is thought of a testiment to cleverness (but as Liberation businesses branch out into the outside sector, they are quickly learning that other business don't share this sentiment).
