| Annyrion's northern continent was originally populated entirely by colonists (assuming, of course, one ignores the indigenous species) and their can-do, "we'll make this work" attitude is still present today. For instance, when an elevator is down for maintenance, locals shrug their shoulders and take the stairs, even offering to assist those who may not be able to make the climb themselves. While they embrace technology and all of its benefits, they are certainly capable of functioning without it. | Annyrion's northern continent was originally populated entirely by colonists (assuming, of course, one ignores the indigenous species) and their can-do, "we'll make this work" attitude is still present today.

| Tourists visiting Annyrion for the first time may be surprised at the unusual blend of people - businessmen in three-piece suits, spacers taking a break downside after a cargo run, farmers, technicians, and shopkeepers - and how well they interact, regardless of occupation. Everyone in Inaria is believed to have something to contribute to society, and those who aren't contributing or haven't yet contributed generally find themselves being nudged in what the locals believe to be the "right direction". Unemployment is practically unheard of, and someone who lacks work is assumed to have not looked for it. Robots are generally seen as placeholders for missing flesh-and-blood workers, not as replacements (except in a few critical industries where it safer to use robots). | Tourists visiting Annyrion for the first time may be surprised at the unusual blend of people - businessmen in three-piece suits, spacers taking a break downside after a cargo run, farmers, technicians, and shopkeepers - and how well they interact, regardless of occupation.
