Military Service

Most Hapans are supporters of the Royal Hapan Armed Forces and many individuals choose it as their career. On some worlds of the Consortium, military service is mandatory and may be required by the local nobility as a means of maintaining a local garrison, though the amount of volunteers across the Hapes Cluster ensures that no draft is necessary for the general armed forces which may be deployed to foreign space.

Main article: Politics in the Hapes Consortium
As the Hapes Consortium remains a monarchy where the only elected position is the Office of the Ombudsman, most Hapans are not involved in political movements, though most usually have an ideological preference. The only way for anyone to truly change policy is to join the Civil Service and strive to one day become a person of influence and authority in Lorell Hall.
The general populace is content and in most cases, fond of the the political system of the Consortium. There are no relevant movements that support the removal of the monarchy and most are supporters of the nobility as well. The economic stability of the Consortium over the last few decades has led to a high standard of living and no drastic change in policy is ever called for by the commoners. Most political issues and clashes relate to the stance on isolationism and other key ideological topics.
