===Mercury (Send Ice Cream)===

Former wage-slaves of Venus, Mercury basically unionized as a nation, and Venus has never forgiven them for it. For their part, Mercury does mining, power-generation, high-tech electronics and shipping. A lot of shipping. Like a lot. Because what they sell, everyone wants, they go everywhere in the solar system, so they're about as neutral as neutral can be. Even smaller of a population than Venus, they pack their people into a fraction of the space, leading to some rather Hive-like conditions and in consequence, some rather unique social pressure workarounds. One part Dwarf, one part socially-expected incel (having a closet that is just yours and yours alone to be alone in is considered a human right), Mercurians are known for being stupidly hard-working and VERY clannish. Most of their design focus is reusability and reliability. Their warships double as haulers. Their exo-armours and exo-suits double as cargo-movers and mining systems. Everything seems to be heat-proofed. Even the ice.
