Left to right, like any civilized country.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

Left to Right

Recently, an ArghNeedAName drugs company launched an advert for a stomach medicine in several other countries. It showed a person with stomach pain, then showed them drinking the medicine, then showed them being healthy again. Unfortunately, they forgot that Arab countries read from right to left.

Left to Right, Top to bottom.
"For too many years, humanity was on the backfoot. Reacting to threats, rather than preventing them. Rest of the galaxy was bigger than us. Stronger than us. We were mice, hiding in the shadows, hoping the giants would not see us. No more. Humanity is no longer on the defense. We are the giants now."

left to right ( top to bottom ),however due to high security issues in the empire, there are are few instances where documents are read right to left and bottom to top or even jumbled in that sequence to make decoding specific documents harder. generally however it's standard, left to right top to bottom.
