Culture
Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Imperial counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and good-natured tend to get on well in society. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being the Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved.
To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you.
