Yay for applying wholly incorrect socio-economic analogies to a video game.
Or worse, perhaps you're right, and what people really want with their leisure time is to be enslaved and allowed to mine digital minerals all day long.
What a horrible thought.

It's actually done with almost every big alliance to some degree. D2's petting zoo :) is just the most extreme example. After the home region is secure you need somebody to stay home why the PvPers go have fun. And it's best to have fun in somebody else's front yard.
So now we have hobbits on one end of the universe and a petting zoo on the other. What's this game coming too....

my original corp was a sponsored by ATUK corp. Pretty much it was my corp in an empty region with plenty of hostiles coming to us daily. Was where most of us learned the basics of 0.0 pvp combat. Nobody in the corp knew how to mine but we sure had fun shooting painball in 1V- :)

I don't know about serfs but you do have vassal states, for example the alliances Xelas and FIX are vassal states of BoB. This isn't a flame, look at the definition above.
Vassal is a very good way of looking at some relationships, including the ones you describe. The relationship between Kings and Dukes and Barons (etc) can be complex, and interesting.

"Serfs" are not free to leave their farms. They are almost slaves (or are slaves depending on how you define it).
Eve has no serfs. It does, however, have renters.
how do you have "renters" in Eve?
To people literally pay an alliance / corp ISK to live in their space?
Do they get any benefits from this rent, such as reduced station fees, protection etc?
Only ever lived in Empire, or as part of HF - so not experienced this.
Yep, people literally pay alliances rent to live in the space the alliance controls.
They rarely get "protection". What they do get is the right to operate without the "owning" alliance shooting them, including docking rights.
Smart renters make billions, and thats after they have paid their rents.
Folks without good 0.0 survival instincts should not try it. Without good instincts, 0.0 is a BIG money loser.
