	This adherence to a collectively-focused culture extends to loyalty as well. It is culturally frowned upon for an Elyran to leave their job for a better paying one so long as their current employer treats them well and pays them a decent wage, as taking a higher-paying job and betraying one’s employer is considered selfish and greedy. From the other side of the exchange though, an employer should treat their employees well and actively try to advance their company to better provide for the lives of their employees. To this attitude, a person can and should work for their entire lives for a single employer if they are treated well and allowed to live off of their wages but should also place providing for their family first. Most Elyrans put a high value on education, and as a result, a large majority of Elyran citizens have some form of college education, even if it is only a two-year degree.

	Modesty is another value often expressed through Elyran culture and is one that is most often found in Elyran fashion, which often reveals little skin despite being made from very rich colours. Originally enstated so as to prevent "Cytherian and Eridanian levels of excess," Modesty laws or “debauchery laws,” as they are commonly called, are exemplars of this cultural trend, being a very broad category of legislation that Elyran citizens can be sued for if their public expressions are deemed immoral, whether this is in look or other areas. Things that may result in fines are dying one’s hair bright, unnatural colours or black; being tattooed; getting facial or tongue piercings (things associated with Eridanian dregs and/or haram under Islam, the predominant religion of Elyra); overly exposing fashion, such as wearing clothing that shows a lot of skin in "indecent areas"; and action or speech classified as “immodest or selfish displays,” a broad definition that often is defined by the judges presiding over a court case. Different judges can have wildly different interpretations of the law and may view some things such as piercings or dyes as falling under the jurisdiction of the law while others might not; the law is very flexible and can be strict or lax. These laws do not exist to enforce things like veiled women or beneath the knee clothing on men, but are simply the Elyran state's attempt to safeguard itself against perceived "Solarian cultural disruptions." Similarly, interpretations vary from planet to planet, with different localities enforcing different standards. What is considered immodest or immoral on Damascus II or ~~Busra~~ may be overlooked or tolerated on Persepolis or New Suez, for example.

	Charity is yet another tenant that most often permeates Elyran culture, with numerous charities and foundations set up around the country to provide for the less-fortunate in Elyra and beyond. These charities are barred by the Elyran state from conducting operations to non-citizen persons residing in Elyra, however, as the Elyran government has deemed such actions as “unjustly indulgent” to those who are not part of Elyran society yet still wish to benefit from it. Elyra is one of the leading donors to the Interstellar Aid Corps along with the Coalition of Colonies and has an incredibly robust charity culture as a result.

	Elyran cuisine is one of the few parts of Elyran culture that is not unified across the Republic’s many worlds, though all do share some common characteristics. uisine is halal by the standards of Islamic law, due to the country not only having its cultural origins in the majority ~~muslim~~ countries of the Middle East, Northern Africa, Persia, and Anatolia, but also because the vast majority of the nation’s current population are ~~muslim~~.

	Most noticeably perhaps, pork is absent from the country’s cuisine, and the purchasing of alcohol is often taxed heavily and legally restricted in the country, though this varies greatly by locality. Some planets, like Persepolis, have little to no restrictions on the buying of Alcohol aside from sales being prohibited on Fridays, a day of rest and worship in Islam, while others like Damascus II prohibit the sale of alcohol almost universally on the planet, aside from a select few specially-licensed resorts and liquor shops. None of these restrictions apply to the Persepolian moon of New Suez due to its status as a special trade zone. As a result, it has zero restrictions or taxes on the purchase, sale, and consumption of alcohol, making it an anomaly among Elyran jurisdictions.

	“The Elyran Spirit” is a value entirely unique to Elyra that has little to no roots in its source cultures and is explained through its name. It is a form of Elyran exceptionalism that asserts that Elyra, its culture, and its people are inherently different and unique to the rest of humanity and other countries in the Orion Spur. It asserts that Elyran society is the best in existence through its institutions and cultural values and that this society must not just be preserved from within, but defended from without as well. This takes the form of Elyra’s historical tendency to isolate itself from the rest of the Orion Spur, believing that other cultures and peoples will pollute and therefore erode the Elyran culture and way of life if allowed in. Many believe this way of thought is the reasoning for Elyra’s strict immigration policies as well as its general reluctance to involve itself in Interstellar Affairs; however, this element of the Elyran Spirit has slowly begun to change since the country ended its self-imposed isolation in the late 2380’s. Even so, it is not uncommon for Elyrans to view the societies and cultures of other nations and peoples as inferior, even if the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary due to the inherently exceptional status Elyran culture and society holds by this school of thought. This ideal is not an excuse to decry the cultures of others, but is instead the incentive to consistently improve Elyran society by working in accordance with its ideals to better promote a society built on the stable foundations that others may enjoy by making their own societies and cultures more like that of Elyra. Most Elyrans are very respectful of traditions that made their society, but seek to expand upon them in new and novel ways as a method of continuing the Elyran revolution.		“The Elyran Spirit” is a value entirely unique to Elyra that has little to no roots in its source cultures and is explained through its name.

	Elyran culture generally places a great emphasis on peacefulness and respecting the natural order of things, and sources much of this attitude from the religion of Islam as well as Elyran Revolutionary Thought. Generally, prevailing attitudes are conservative because they wish to preserve what exists now and not push forward radical change that will greatly upset the current framework of the society, family, or other unit. This extends to everything from family life, with a great respect for elders and their wisdom being very common in Elyran culture, to Elyran laws, with many on the books that actively prosecute behaviour that may exude what is deemed as “immoral selfishness,” though what this definition is remains often up to the interpretation of the presiding judge or judges. This attitude is also prevalent in individual persons as well as the outlook of Elyra is to focus greatly on the whole, rather than simply the individual. People are often expected to sideline their own problems for the greater good of society or their families, rather than cause a fuss or protest. A common saying among Elyrans that expresses this is: “if the bricks crack, the wall becomes weak.” The prominence of this establishment-centred philosophy has led to many ripple-effects in Elyran society, the most prominent of which is the presumption of guilt in Elyran courts which one must then disprove before a panel of judges. For this reason, Elyran courts have a nearly perfect conviction rate for cases that go to trial.

From the other side of the exchange though, an employer should treat their employees well and actively try to advance their company to better provide for the lives of their employees. To this attitude, a person can and should work for their entire lives for a single employer if they are treated well and allowed to live off of their wages but should also place providing for their family first. Most Elyran’s put a high value on education, and as a result, a large majority of Elyran citizens have some form of college education, even if it is only a two-year degree.

	Modesty is another value often expressed through Elyran culture and is one that is most often found in Elyran fashion, which often reveals little skin despite being made from very rich colours. Modesty laws or “debauchery laws,” as they are commonly called, are exemplars of this cultural trend, being a very broad category of legislation that Elyran citizens can be sued for if their public expressions are deemed immoral, whether this is in look ~~such as~~ dying one’s hair bright colours or black; being tattooed; getting facial or tongue piercings (things associated with Eridanian dregs and or haram under Islam, the predominant religion of Elyra); overly exposing fashion, such as wearing clothing that shows a lot of skin; and action or speech classified as “immodest or selfish displays,” a broad definition that often is defined by the judges presiding over a court case. Different judges can have wildly different interpretations of the law and may view some things such as piercings or dyes as falling under the jurisdiction of the law while others might not. Similarly, interpretations vary from planet to planet, with different localities enforcing different standards. What is considered immodest or immoral on Damascus II or Busra may be overlooked or tolerated on Persepolis or New Suez, for example.		Modesty is another value often expressed through Elyran culture and is one that is most often found in Elyran fashion, which often reveals little skin despite being made from very rich colours. Originally enstated so as to prevent "Cytherian and Eridanian levels of excess," Modesty laws or “debauchery laws,” as they are commonly called, are exemplars of this cultural trend, being a very broad category of legislation that Elyran citizens can be sued for if their public expressions are deemed immoral, whether this is in look or other areas. Things that may result in fines are dying one’s hair bright, unnatural colours or black; being tattooed; getting facial or tongue piercings (things associated with Eridanian dregs and/or haram under Islam, the predominant religion of Elyra); overly exposing fashion, such as wearing clothing that shows a lot of skin in "indecent areas"; and action or speech classified as “immodest or selfish displays,” a broad definition that often is defined by the judges presiding over a court case. Different judges can have wildly different interpretations of the law and may view some things such as piercings or dyes as falling under the jurisdiction of the law while others might not; the law is very flexible and can be strict or lax. Similarly, interpretations vary from planet to planet, with different localities enforcing different standards. What is considered immodest or immoral on Damascus II or Busra may be overlooked or tolerated on Persepolis or New Suez, for example.

	Charity is yet another tenant that most often permeates Elyran culture, with numerous charities and foundations set up around the country to provide for the less-fortunate in Elyra and beyond. These charities are barred by the Elyran state from conducting operations to non-citizen persons residing in Elyra, however, as the Elyran government has deemed such actions as “unjustly indulgent” to those who are not part of Elyran society yet still wish to benefit from it. Elyra is one of the leading donors to the Interstellar Aid Corps along with the Coalition of Colonies and has an incredibly robust charity culture as a result.

	==Cuisine==		==Cuisine==
	Elyran cuisine is one of the few parts of Elyran culture that is not unified across the Republic’s many worlds, though all do share some common characteristics. uisine is halal by the standards of Islamic law, due to the country not only having its cultural origins in the majority muslim countries of the Middle East, Northern Africa, Persia, and Anatolia, but also because the majority of the nation’s current population are muslim.		Elyran cuisine is one of the few parts of Elyran culture that is not unified across the Republic’s many worlds, though all do share some common characteristics. uisine is halal by the standards of Islamic law, due to the country not only having its cultural origins in the majority muslim countries of the Middle East, Northern Africa, Persia, and Anatolia, but also because the vast majority of the nation’s current population are muslim.

	Most noticeably perhaps, pork is absent from the country’s cuisine, and the purchasing of alcohol is often taxed heavily and legally restricted in the country, though this varies greatly by locality. Some planets, like Persepolis, have little to no restrictions on the buying of Alcohol aside from sales being prohibited on Fridays, a day of rest and worship in Islam, while others like Damascus II prohibit the sale of alcohol almost universally on the planet, aside from a select few specially-licensed resorts and liquor shops. None of these restrictions apply to the Persepolian moon of New Suez due to its status as a special trade zone. As a result, it has zero restrictions or taxes on the purchase, sale, and consumption of alcohol, making it an anomaly among Elyran jurisdictions.
