Fiction:Salsetthe Republic/Society

The society of the Salsetthe Republic is controlled, but certainly not totalitarian, unlike the.

Culture
The Salsetthe Republic is more or less a monoculture, since traditions are considered to be distracting and can reduce the overall efficiency of individuals. However, many member nations have kept certain aspects of their cultures alive, but these are mostly minor things like greetings.

Upbringing
Whenever an individual is laid or an individual is born, they are sent to designated areas in their colony or ship for accelerated maturation. If an egg is laid, the individual who laid the egg is compelled by their cybernetic implants to place it in a chute where it is then deposited into an incubation chamber. Once the egg hatches, the hatchling is then placed into a maturation chamber where they acquire their cybernetic implants. As a result of these cybernetic implants, the individual is able to fluently speak the major languages spoken within the Salsetthe Republic, even though universal translators make this unnecessary. The cybernetic implants also give the individual other basic abilities which would normally be learned. The maturation chambers also speed up the growth of the individual greatly and provides stimulation for muscles so then they're developed properly and do not atrophy. These maturation chambers are also able to perform some genetic modifications as to provide certain desirable genetic traits and to get rid of harmful genetic traits and defects. Once an individual has matured sufficiently, they are taken out of the maturation chamber, given inoculations for various diseases, and given the treatment that allows for biological immortality (not being able to die from age).

Education
After an individual has been taken out of their maturation chamber, they start their education, which consists of mostly general studies (i.e. 1st Gigaquadrant history, mathematics, etc.). After about five Excaretran years of this, they must choose an area in which they will focus most of their studies in. They must also choose whether they will become a citizen, or a member of the various organizations of the Salsetthe Republic. After they have chosen, they continue their studies for several more years, and courses on things such as starship operations and maintenance, survival, and some general engineering courses are required. After they have finished this segment of their education, citizens are required to go find work on a colony or a starbase by themselves, and are given basic living quarters and a limited number of replicator rations. Some that choose to be traders are given the same things as a citizen as well as a small cargo vessel. Those that chose to become a part of an organization of the Salsetthe Republic continue their education in specific areas to help their operation in their respective organization.

Religion and Supernatural Forces
The Salsetthe Republic is completely atheist, since religion is seen as being dangerous in that it can cause internal conflicts and is also seen as being completely unnecessary. "Gods" are seen as being sufficiently advanced civilizations.

Essence
Essence is seen by the Salsetthe Republic as dangerous, but there is a relatively small group of researchers dedicated to researching Essence and developing defenses against it.

Transportation
Transporters are only used on ships, and on colonies as needed, since transporters use a very large amount of energy and can become unstable, resulting in transporter accidents. In colonies, the main form of transportation comes in the form of small maglev carts which can reconfigure themselves as needed. Paths are usually used for very short distances and on starbases. Tourism is generally performed in holodecks in the form of highly sophisticated holographic simulations of the area the individual wants to visit. However, an individual can choose to go to that actual location in real life so long as it's in the Salsetthe Republic. When it comes to interstellar travel, SDF ships can use either warp or quantum slipstream, which is a relatively primitive but fast form of hyperspatial travel. However, a new development in a coaxial warp drive has made the Salsetthe Republic consider replacing its quantum slipstream drives with coaxial warp drives. Civilian ships can only use warp drives, but if a civilian acquires a permit rarely issued by the SDF, the modifications needed to use quantum slipstream will be made to their vessel. Wormholes are also used for travel, but the Salsetthe Republic is still working on how to make artificial ones which don't require a structure at either end, as these are just referred to as transwarp gateways.
