Tough one. I was raised in the State, and a lot of my work ethic (along with knowledge of hosting and tea preperation) comes from that time. I suppose my economic liberalism as well.
That said, I was given as good of an eduction in the Amarr faith as my mother could provide, and I am currently a baptised member of the Orthodox Church (and therefore citizen of the Amarr Empire)
It's a weird blend of the two, though the State and her people most likely would conclude I am not one of them due to my choices. It's a fair and legitimate point, but having lived in the Empire proper for long enough I've concluded I'm not all together a perfect fit there either. Perhaps the problem was I was living with a Sarumite as their ill begotten grandson.
If I find another place within the Empire (given its large variations in culture internally) or elsewhere I'll let you know.
To go back to an earlier answer of mine, what do you think the origin of Man is? Did we come from the Evegate? Did we spring up seperately on our individual planets? Do you think ancient aliens created us?

Todo Kirkinen, for a radical change in perspective.
Have you read any good books, or seen a decent holo -- one that made you think, or at least engaged you for longer than the time it took to watch it? What was it about?

While neither a book or a holo, the poem, The Long March by the poet Sukkira Nuvolaini. It has been over six months since I read it and I am still often disquieted by the piece. Written while she was held prisoner without charge in a Provist prison and it could probably qualify as a modern epic at 2374 lines long entirely in blank verse.
Detailing the detention and trial of, "No-one but a black bag," The entire piece is told through the discussions of various jailors, lawyers and judges who continue to never explain the crimes or charges but only the harshest punishment for being imprisoned is proof enough of a crime according to them.
Absurd, surreal, and deeply allusory to traditional Raata and Oriyoni literature to paint a disjunct with life in the State. The final titular chapter of The Long March of the prisoner to their execution was probably the most disturbing thing I have read in a long time.

I think the idea that we arose on separate planets is patently ridiculous, especially given the existence of the JoveGÇöalso humanGÇöand their records going back before any of the rest of us got to the stars. I think it's likely we arose from one central location, either the EVE Gate, Jovian Space, or somewhere else, and spread from there. Civilizations fall. We know that from the Talocan etc.

In case of goonswarm: absolutely nothing, just the ability to learn something new/make isk In the case of the state protectorate: isk..... Lots of isk In the case of the 24ic: I'd join in a heart beat.... To feed Intel and go on safari. To actually fight for them would take me getting betrayed by the TLF or if they turned into an actual defensive war (slaves freed, treaties disallowing amarr warships to enter the republic and actual adherence to it) and we spit on it. I truely just want peace, if we were pushing to "rub it in" so to speak I don't think I could stand for that.

Dawn. Whenever I'm planetside, I always try to see the sun rise every morning. It's a special treat for someone like me who grew up in artificial environments, and gas planets where it was all a perpetual toxic smog outside.
Would you rather be able to sleep more, or sleep less and have more time for other activities?

I was extremely stubborn when me and my parents visited planets. I would want to explore the colonies and wilderness, when we had to keep a tight schedule to make the next supply drop for the next colony.
if you've ever been dead broke, what was your life like for that period of time? what did you have to do in order to get some amount of wealth, if you wish to disclose that.
Carpe Diem. Get insurance and fly feckless.

Maintenance/custodial duties on mining barges/exhumers before I enrolled in the RMS. It was..... Lovely. The last one I worked for I ended up working for for a few years and bankrolled my education.

Oh! I can do this one.

I mean, there are a lot of super exciting creatures from around the Pool, but there's something so terribly engrossing about a (sort of!) invisible fish that caused a small handful of minor diplomatic catastrophes, isn't there? [1]

With the advent of Alpha Cloning tech, compatibility isn't even an issue! But it gets hard to convince my employees since they are overly attached to this "mortality" thing. Personally I think that 's rubbish and that capsuleer transhumanism is the shizzle!

The Venture. Opponents tend to over-engage them even if they've sussed out your Venture fleet is packing more heat than mining lasers. Also, while I'm adamant against fitting warp core stabilizers on combat ships, I have to grant that the built-in stabilization doesn't impede its capabilities very much, and makes for interesting wolfpack tactics.
What's that one unconventional idea for a corporation that's been simmering in the back of your mind for ages, the one you'd execute on if only you had more time, more ISK, more hands, and more mental fortitude for dealing with the constant hassle of capsuleer cat-herding?

Space vacation. Planets are messed up. Standing out there, the only thing keeping you from the vacuum of space is that the rock you're on is so fat that it's convinced a whole bunch of air to try to crush you... s'just freaky. Gimme bulkheads.
