Spes Consortium
Spes Consortium, home to many scientist and free thinkers.
Structure
The Spes Consortium is largely organized like the early United States in terms of government, with the only difference to be geared more towards socialism as opposed to capitalism. You are however still expected to engage, work and earn your place if you want to have a life any better than the most basic of living standards. The government is run efficiently with the aid of Machine Learning and AI, so the need for a lot of bureaucracy and people working in government is much less.
With this in mind there are not as many places in government as computers can handle a large majority of tasks. The only political representation roles are governors for each individual planet, a vice president and president. Each resident is provided a person wrist computer at the age of 16. When issues come up that need to be voted on, each citizen is required to vote through the device on it. Failure to vote 3 or more times runs an individual the risk of losing their citizenship status.

Culture
Health Care, Education, Low entry housing and a basic income is provided for everyone. With this comes a much higher tax rate than most of the other Corporations, making it expensive for those trying to gain entry, visit or even stay as most of the benefits are only provided for natural born citizens. If someone from another corp can earn a life here, their children benefit greatly from it. With this attitude in mind, Spesics view immigration fondly as most immigrants are seen as extra hard working to be able to provide for themselves.
