Capellan Confederation

The Capellan Confederation is one of the five successor states of the Inner Sphere and it's designated Punching Bag which is under the defacto leadership of House Liao. It is mostly modeled after China (a mash up of Imperial and Communist) with some Russian Influence.

Society

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. 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) to get out of Servitor status and your kids don't have it and can earn citizenship like everyone else.
