Economy
At the heart of this government's economy was planetary trade. Interplanetary trade could support a local economy, but, in many cases, the high levels of economic interaction and the massive scale of exchange required for an advanced society could only be funded by interplanetary exports. While some planets maintained their own shipping fleets, most relied on large freight firms to carry their goods along major hyperlanes.

Society and culture
This government had a very diverse culture. Member worlds were able to maintain their own culture in accordance with local beliefs, customs, and traditions. There was a wide variety of different cultures within it: from religious communities to hive-like communes. This government had a liberal policy towards arts also. The dominant aesthetic style was opulence and ornamentation.
