What would be some of the Republic's major industries?
What would you say the Republic is most known for?
They would be pretty astounded, though they're actually somewhat used to it since something like that has happened before. They'd definitely want to learn more about the humans, like what they evolved from, that sort of thing.
The manufacturing of civilian spaceships and vehicles is a pretty big one; since the Republic covers a portion of the Milky Way, people need to be able to travel from planet to planet without relying on the governments to provide the transport for it. Arms manufacturing is also quite big.
The Republic is known for quite a few things. If we're talking about right now, it'd be best known for the massive civil war that actually created the Republic. More generally, it's pretty well-known for its food, drink and general culture.

The food is mostly made up of meat, since the two main species of the Republic were carnivorous once upon a time, and they still do prefer meat to most other things. That's not to say veggies and fruit are ignored, but they're usually put on the side of the main dishes. A common stereotype for the people of Albali is that they're hard-working and organised because they have a culture of workers and merit. Being accepted isn't about where you're from, it's simply about if you work hard. Slackers don't get many friends.

What is the most common mode of transportation in the Republic?
The Republic includes a mixture of architectural styles, especially on the two homeworlds. On the homeworlds, you have styles similar to Roman/Greek architecture, you have some "Victorian" architecture as well. Most buildings now, especially those newly-constructed, are usually done in a modernist or postmodernist style. Neomodernism and neofuturism are also really big styles in inner city areas.
The Republic's people don't like the Empire's internal politics, but they do like the country itself. They like how many rights the Empire's people are given.
Like I said above, the citizens of the Republic don't care what nationality you are or what country you're from; all they really care about is if you work hard. There might be some tension initially if the species in question has only just been discovered, but that usually disappears after a year or two.
The maglev train network is the most common means of transport in cities, though electric cars are used where no maglev network exists, such as on newly-colonised planets or rural areas.
