Technology is in the stellar mainstream, capable of building and servicing large starships. Fusion power is standard and laser weapons are the weapon of choice for the armed forces. The local military is equipped to the standards of the Imperial Army.

Government is by a single leader enjoying the confidence of the citizens. The Imperial bureaucracy agonized over whether this world was a charismatic dictatorship or a religious dictatorship, finally settling on a charismatic dictatorship since religious tolerance is practiced to a greater degree than in most religious dictatorships.

The social outlook of the people of Lyubov is harmonious and conservative but a noticeable technological drive exists. The planet’s technology is solidly in the Imperial mainstream. While not an overly militaristic society, Lyubov maintains a powerful military and the people are quite accepting of the use of force to protect the world and defend their neighbors, especially against the depredations of Chaos. Lyubov is a world open to off-world contact and visitors are likely to be treated well; however it is also a conservative and well-ordered society so visitors are strongly advised to not violate the social or religious mores of the world.

Law Level is moderate - light assault weapons prohibited, but otherwise the right to keep and bear arms is more or less universal for adults. Civil liberties are generally not interfered with although the definition of what constitutes a civil liberty is defined by biblical law. Freedom of expression of political opinion is broad but tolerance of heresy, blasphemy, indecency and obscenity is rather low.

Local Cultural Idiosyncrasies include married women covering their hair when in public, men will cover their heads with some sort of hat or cap at all times. Children are named for deceased relatives or cultural heroes. Marriages are generally arranged by professional matchmakers with input from parents and the parties involved – divorce is possible but rare. Psykers are not well-tolerated, the exception being a very small caste of religious scholars whose ethics are beyond dispute. This caste is watched very closely, however, to prevent corruption. Witchcraft (unauthorized psychic activity) is punishable by death.
