Culture: The people inhabiting the planets primarily are those of the United States, making it a very diverse populace of color, culture, and religion . The citizens enjoy their social and economic freedoms, with no restrictions or harsh laws that would restrict anyone to go for their own pursuit of happiness (so long no one is harmed or infringed of their rights). People are allowed the right to bear arms and form small militias to protect themselves and their communities from crime, foreign invasions, and against any tyrannical executions made by the gov't. This was inspired from both the Old constitution of the used to be United States of America, and from the tyrannical actions conducted by the FSG. Citizens are allowed to conduct peaceful protests so long as no physical violence or vandalism are conducted, otherwise the gov't are lawfully allowed to conduct non-lethal force to put them down. Religion is also quite alive in the nation as 42% are Christians, 28% Muslim, 10% Hindu, 8% Buddhist, 6% African Traditionalists, 4% Jewish, and 2% Shinto. 

History: The planet of Harmonia was colonized during the end of the colonial period, most of those who came to this world are of those from all the U.S. Through it's infancy phase the population enjoyed it's some leeway under the FSG administration. At some point the planet had established a proper govt, it had elements of that of a republic with the exception that most of the higher positions would be occupied by those working directly with the FSG. The rest were ran by those who had experience in politics, laws, or businesses. When the political positions were filled in, it was rather quite obvious that there was a mixture of different ideologies and opinions of what laws and regulations should be passed or put down. Within five years of it's formation of the govt there had been a formation of two political party's to which one side being the left wing Federal Liberty Party, and the right wing Patriotic League. Overall the colony had progressed well over the decade and had kept it's loyalty with the FSG as positive as possible. However as the likelihood of a galactic civil war became more apparent, the colony went on to quickly ensure their support for the FSG by supporting them with shipments of supplies. However things turned for the worse as refugees from neighboring systems who were against the FSG were seeking refugee's seeking Asylum/Sanctuary. The planet of Harmonia seemed like a good candidate as the planet had a reputation of offering relief aids to all with their blue cross organization despite FSG warnings. The two parties went on to go through a heated debate as the Federal Liberty Party were in favor of allowing the refugee's to seek asylum on their planet until the civil war was over. The other side however saw this as a major no go as this would more then likely provoke the FSG. However the decision was split down with some on either side voting in favor of the other side or their own. In the end the population was given the opportunity to vote the case. The result was a landslide of 88% of the population voting to allow the refugee's to take shelter. Thus a temporary place was made for the refugee's to live and be accommodated. This was allowed to do the FSG leader (Marcus Orellio) who was in charge at the time of the overwatch of the colony was sympathetic to those suffering and allowed the vote to proceed. However not long after the decision was made, the FSG sent a strict order to the Orellio that the refugees to be detained and handed to them. He was reluctant, but orders are orders and the detaining began. Many were shocked to hear the sudden change to policy with the refugees. Many were angered that there’s vote had been disregarded, but for the most part it wasn’t the first time that this had happened before. However one small group of activists were fed up and decided to take it to the streets. They were known as the Sunflower party as they were distinguished with wearing at least one piece of clothing colored with yellow. More then 455 citizens participated in the protest to which the event drastically changed from a peaceful protest, to a horrific massacre. The FSG had sent in a small force to disband the protestors, and detain anyone that didn’t disperse. A physical brawl began that escalated to the soldiers opening fire on the protesters. Over 32 were killed and 122 were arrested, the whole planet had a mix feeling with how this was handled. Some understood that what happened only occurred do to how unresponsive and aggressive the protestors were being, they knew what they were getting into. However others disagreed, stating that it was provoked by the soldiers and that the protestors were peaceful until the soldiers began laying their hands on them. Overall the populace seemed split but nonetheless this event would spark the small step to a rebellion. As the civil war progressed on more and more stricter laws and regulations were being put down. Merchants were only allowed to trade with certain planets and stations approved by the FSG, public gatherings of any sort were band, curfews, and etc. This of course brought much discontent amongst the populace and many small rebel organizations began to form. One of them known as the Liberators, consisted some of the political party members, and citizens who were fed up with the strict authoritarian like rule. For months the Liberators have been slowly expanding their numbers and connections in order to be prepped for their rebellion. Alliances/cooperations were made with other rebel groups. Eventually the Liberators began to attack military convoys that carried vital military grade weapons. The attacks varied in success as they most of the Liberators simply had no proper fire arms training, the only ones that did were those who did hunting for a living off the wilderness. Although they were able to acquire some of these military grade weapons, they in returned gained to high casualties in which the result was not worth the effort. So they stayed below the radar, however the few convoy attacks they had conducted. Resulted in the FSG in pushing out an even harsher law in which soldiers/law enforcements were allowed to enter anyone’s home if they suspect these said individuals to be affiliated with the rebels. Stores and shops were also robbed of food and other essential supplies do to neighboring rebel planets harassing the FSG supply lines. This would incetivise more people to join the numerous rebel groups on the planet. And thus previous plans would be relooked and changed. Within the fifth year of the rebellion that was plaguing the galaxy. The Liberators had managed to accumulate enough numbers, stockpiled supplies, and training to which was aided by experienced officers from other planets that came into contact along with defected FSG soldiers/officers who were originally citizens of the planet, were ready to conduct a full on rebellion. On the 24th of December, the Liberators and other rebel groups began stationing their rebel troops near checkpoints and supply depots. As soon as the clock struck midnight, the rebellion started and the FSG was given their first major defeat. Several cities that were in support of the rebels, were taken and some of the FSG supply depots were ransacked and sapped of their resources. Although there had been set backs and defeats at other locations. The FSG were indeed given a good punch and taken by surprise. Thus the great revolution began. Support for the rebels at first were somewhat small, sympathetic as most were. They simply didn’t want to be involved or bring any trouble to themselves or loved ones. However as the rebellion progressed and the FSG became more and more harsh in cracking down on the rebellion, it was hard to not be involved. No one was safe or could avoid this war that was brought on the planet. You were either a supporter of the revolution, or a dirty traitor. That was the reality in most civil wars. Eventually more and more of the populace began to support the cause over time. The tide began to turn after one of the most promising young officers in the FSG in Harmonia decided to defect to the rebels side with classified information. That young man was Captain Morgan terion (age 27), known to be the son of the former head command chief of the FSG planetary command force on Harmonia 8 years ago. Morgan had seen much of the corruption and unhumane treatment that the FSG was conducting, thus he was fed up and turned his back on his duty and former planet to aid the cause. Infiltrating the FSG military HQ, he had managed to retrieve vital information that allowed the Liberators to locate and destroy numerous military supply depots, underground facilities, airfields, and so forth. The young captain was given the rank of major when he joined the cause and show exemplarary skills, motivation to the troops, and of course knowing the very structure and behavior of how the FSG conducted their operations and strategy. The rebellion would go on for another 5 years until finally the FSG had been kicked out of the planet and Harmonia finally was no longer under a tyrannical ruler. I’m between that rebellion, a temporary govt was made in which former politicians and governors were invited to help shape the future of a nation. It was however difficult when they had to postpone or relocate their meetings do to the active rebellion. However when it was over with, the govt finally assembled a convention and debated how their new govt should be made. It was difficult at first given how many had different ideas that were somewhat similar to that of the FSG, but of course no one wanted a similar govt structure to that of the FSG. Morgan who was at this point a Brigadiar General, was invited along with the other high commanding officers to simply hear out the convention. Morgan requested a chime of word and simply stated to “look into the history of your ancestors for answers?” To which he was referring to the once proud United State of America. The suggestion was taken with much appreciation and research on their mother nation was done. The constitution, bill of rights, and Declaration of Independence were all taken and reformed to better fit the more modern society. However some were kept such as the right to bear arms (tho there were specific of course what you can’t own), freedom of speech and religion, separation of state and church, and so on. Within a few weeks the new and improved constitution, bill of rights, and Declaration of Independence was made and an election was underway. Morgan was suggested to run for president but given that he had done his own research. He did not want to partake in any such politics and would instead remain in his current position. After a few attempts to pursued him, they gave up after seeing his stubborn refusal. Thus the election went on with ease. The rebellion was still ongoing across the galaxy, and the newly established United States of Libertas would go on to help support the neighboring countries however they could. And send relief aid to those who need it. After the galactic civil war the nation would go on to rebuild, expand, and further strengrhen their ties to the neighboring nations. However a new president was just elected, seemingly focused on the expansion of the nation and creating stronger republic.
