Sci-fi, modern or fantasy? Mostly modern with a hint of sci-fi.
Tolerant of other races and cultures or xenophobic? Tolerant, though there may be some social stigma if you come from the Kingdom Belt (the exception is Marche Noir; that is, if you came from the liberal democratic side). This is because the Kingdom Belt, which is a group of countries, is notoriously outdated in its technology.
Open or closed Borders? Open borders, with loose security.
Free trade or no free trade? Free trade.
Overseas manufacturing or local manufacturing? Local manufacturing, with small outsourcing.
Communism/socialism or capitalism? Borderline libertarian socialism, with strict regulations despite the government's enthusiasm with big businesses (to serve the people better, of course!).
Federal or centralist government? Federal.
Religious or secular? Mostly secular.
Diplomatic or militaristic? Diplomatic.
Homosexuality is a right or sin? Right.

Sci-fi, modern or fantasy?

Modern

Tolerant of other races and cultures or xenophobic?

Tolerant

Open or closed Borders?

Pretty open.

Free trade or no free trade?

Free trade, but trade in the monetary sense is rare. OBAU prefers to make long-term import-export agreements with other countries, and the lack of currency plus economic structure means that most trade between citizens is just gifting and favors.

Overseas manufacturing or local manufacturing?

Plenty of both. We prefer the latter, so we can make sure that labor standards are upheld. OBAU tries their hardest to avoid sweatshopped goods from other countries.

Communism/socialism or capitalism?

Libertarian communism.

Federal or centralist government?

There is no state, and the closest thing to a government is the Administrative Council of the OBAU, but their governing powers only go so far since they are at the complete mercy of the citizens as a whole.

Religious or secular?

Secular. Freedom of religion is enshrined in law, and most religion is centered around nature worshippers and weird Nietzsche cults anyway.

Diplomatic or militaristic?

Diplomatic. We will only mobilize forces for our own defense, or perhaps to supplement the army of an ally (for their own defense).

Homosexuality is a right or sin?

A right. The queer community is well empowered and respected in Ahlystram.

Sci-fi, modern or fantasy? Modern.
Tolerant of other races and cultures or xenophobic? Largely tolerant. Harmony is of course a major part of Chinese culture and society, but it is a bilateral resolution, thus if the 'other culture' in question refuses to also adhere to harmony, they will of course be subject to criticism.
Open or closed Borders? Borders are open.
Free trade or no free trade? Restrictions are placed on some products to avoid disadvantaging local industry, but these are actually quite rare.
Overseas manufacturing or local manufacturing? It's China. Of course local manufacturing.
Communism/socialism or capitalism? Mixed economy, so in between.
Federal or centralist government? Federal.
Religious or secular? The state is secular. The well-known Chinese 'religions', which are widely followed whether fully or by its individual tenets, are arguable in their property as a 'religion' due to them being more akin to philosophical systems.
Diplomatic or militaristic? Diplomatic.
Homosexuality is a right or sin? Officially neutral. Depends on the area you go to.

Sci-fi, modern or fantasy? Science Fiction, of the social type.
Tolerant of other races and cultures or xenophobic? Tolerant of other races, sure, less so of other cultures. More passive and/or collectivist cultures are generally looked down upon, and that includes most of them from the perspective of the Concordance.
Open or closed Borders? Open. That's a key element of the Concordance: freedom of movement between Concordant Habitats (city-ships in space, because planets are for plebs) as a safety valve for social conflict.
Free trade or no free trade? Free trade. Most imports are novelties anyways.
Overseas manufacturing or local manufacturing? Local manufacturing, it's a massive weakness to be reliant upon foreign factories. Even individual parts of the Concordance aim towards local autarky.
Communism/socialism or capitalism? Communism - actual communism, or close to it. The government is organized on the basis of stacked councils, and said councils are the primary legal authority and administrate the means of production (those which aren't personally operated, like a 3D printer). A few voluntarily primitive Habitats practice socialism, maintaining pseudo-money in the form of labor notes, since they lack sufficient surplus product required to sustain communism.
Federal or centralist government? Federal. Government in Concordant Habitats is built upon a stacked council system, each stack being headed by a local directorial leadership which administrates the government - the people are the legislature, however, and no law can be passed without a referendum.
Religious or secular? Secular, generally. Some religious communes are Concordant, but they're usually only populated by members of the religion. Some have argued that the Concordance's tendency towards charismatic leadership counts as a form of hero worship or personality cultism, however.
Diplomatic or militaristic? Gunboat Diplomatic. We negotiate in good faith - which, to us, involves laying out all our options - military and otherwise - on the table. While this is a threat, it's an honest one, which is far more polite than a dishonest non-threat.
Homosexuality is a right or sin? Bodily autonomy is a universal right in Concordant Habitats, and part of what makes them Concordant, and having sex with whomever you want - as long as they consent, otherwise it violates their bodily autonomy - is a part of that.
