On paper the Capellan Confederation is Egalitarian and Socialist. In practice it falls short of those goals. There is a hereditary nobility which holds the political power within the centralized apparatus of the Capellan State as well as various corporations. Beyond that, the Citizens of the Capellan Confederation do benefit from a fairly comprehensive welfare state and enjoy peaceful and comfortable lives with a comparatively high standard of living and social mobility. The issue is that Citizenship in the Capellan Confederation is not something your born into and if you don't earn it (either by not doing well in school, criminality or being newly conquered), you're a Servitor. No, not that sort of [[Servitor]] (thank god) but part of an oppressed underclass who does the crap work for bare basic wages as the serfs of the nobility. The only consolation is that it is possible (if difficult) for servitors to earn citizenship and their kids have the same opportunities to earn citizenship as everyone else in the confederation. | On paper the Capellan Confederation is Egalitarian and Socialist.

On paper the Capellan Confederation is Egalitarian and Socialist. In practice it falls short of those goals. There is a hereditary nobility which holds the political power within the centralized apparatus of the Capellan State as well as various corporations. Beyond that, the Citizens of the Capellan Confederation do benefit from a fairly comprehensive welfare state and enjoy peaceful and comfortable lives with a comparatively high standard of living and social mobility. The issue is that Citizenship in the Capellan Confederation is not something your born into and if you don't earn it (either by not doing well in school, criminality or being newly conquered), you're a Servitor. No, not that sort of Servitor (thank god) but part of an oppressed underclass who does the crap work for bare basic wages as the serfs of the nobility. The only consolation is that it is possible (if difficult) for servitors to earn citizenship and their kids have the same opportunities to earn citizenship as everyone else in the confederation.
