The Kingdom
The Kingdom is a kind of utopia of mine. I wanted to create a state that you can just live in it, and NEVER have a single thougth about war. Peace as far as your ship can travel.
They obviously needed a strong military, and a thriving economy to support that, so the vibe is somewhat of the Austro-Hungaria mixed with America.
America's military with the Austro-Hungarian people's mentality of:
"Was up neighbour, need a pound of sugar"
(several solar systems later...)
"A yes, THANKS A LOT." The people are unusualy/unnaturaly united, and they try their best to help others.
It truly is like the USA or Austrio-Hungaria, except it's EVEN MORE idealistic in a sense that it WILL NOT let ANYONE break the peace inside the country.
If you live on a backwater planet on some god forsaken system, the canches are you'll die there of old age and not have to leave the planet. And if you live near a large city, like a large crossroad of trade or/of commerce, you STILL might die of old age and not leave the planet, but the chances are that, depending on your financial level, might not see the sky, or have soo many things to do that you just won't have the chance.

History
The Kingdom was originaly a colonial state of the Earths Territories, but eventualy Earth realized it's better to let them go peacefuly and countinue to do trade but with the prices in the Earths favor; not enought to tip the balance of economy to them but to just slow the Kingdom down a bit.
Military
Since the Kingdom is so wast, one of the best or rather easiest ways to ravel is to sign up for the army. There is also the fact that the Kingdom was prepared for a war of independance but it never hapened. Then there is the shear size of it's territories.
This made it's military opt for long-distance cruisers, the Crusader class being their signature capital ship (see On: Ships - Classification and Types), with very few smalleror larger capitals ships on active assignments.
For it's ground military there is very little to say: any who sign up are actually signing up to the fleet but they can choose their profession usualy, and a footsoldier would be just that: a guard on a ship. There are a few special forces and THEY are considered ground military but they always rely on the Navy for logistics: to get them there and supply them.

Technological Level
WHilst the Kingdom has many resources at it's disposal, it's scientific and technological feats are rather... of a shattered expectation type.
Since the Kingdom is closed to most of the outside spearheader corporations, it's left with it's own scientist, but they don't have any paticular motivation really, to strive so far and everything else they have is already if not a high standard something that has been tried and tested for centuries.

Foreign Relations
Whilst it's officialy at peace with the Earths Territories, and to this day since it's independance, there always seems to be a bone to pick, but only the Earthers appear to start the conversation.
Agriculture & Industry
The Kingdom has many worlds ripe for industry, be it agrcultural of of the Heavy type. It also has many places of acquiring Will, making their futuristic (not 21st century) tech rather easy to build.
Trade & Transport
The Kingdom is happy to sell it's wares to almost anyone who buys. The problem is there are very few large-scale private companies; everyone else is owned by the state, and the state has decided to trade with other states, at most likely the Kingdoms prices.
The Kingdom acknowledges that this system would quickly starve them of their customers, so they usualy agree to drop the price to a satisfactory level, usualy to everyone: the Kingdom got a good price, whilst the partner got a discounted product. Hypotheticaly then, even if no one else decided to trade with the Kingdom, it is so wast and there are so many industries in it that it would be some time before it would feel the effects of isolation.

Education
The Kingdom doesn't really have a central schooling system. Rather, it leaves the education of it's citizens in the hands of the constalation, the constalation to a solar system, the solar system to a planet, and so on... There is however, a standard which all state officials have to be and if the elementary education or even highschool or university education doesn't cut it, there is at least one school, designated by the state, in the constalaton if not per planet, which is of the state standard.
