Drifter Society

Society
Drifter Society is an eclectic hodgepodge of individuals, families, and associations from the various alternate realities within the multiverse. The cross-section of shared and disparate cultural, social, religious, and political beliefs and sympathies within Drifter society is a ludicrously complicated web of worlds and timelines. It is a major field of study for the social sciences at Drifter universities and think-tanks.

Politics & Economics
Most Drifter Hubs are private-property Anarchist societies by default, owing to the vast cultural and other differences between members and the lack of shared historical identities. Prior to the widespread adoption of various magical and technological translators, language was also a substantial barrier to the formation of a political state.

However, this in no way means that the majority of Drifters are philosophical anarchists, although a great deal more are than, for instance, humans in our world or most worlds. There are even numerous states of all descriptions operating on voluntary private property arrangements (as well as occasional Drifter Hubs which have been conquered by various organizations with the intent of establishing states). Many compare the contractual restrictions imposed by home ownership (neighborhood associations) or certain labor contracts to be forms of governments, as well as Rights Enforcement Agencies, with their myriad of offenses and punishments.

Religion
Many Drifters are religious. While most tend to follow the religions and spiritualities of their native or family culture and species, many religions actively seek Drifter converts from other worlds. Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism are the main Human religions. Judaism is a small but very wealthy powerful religion, relative to its size. Several human factions exist to promote the aims and spread of these religions.

Some religions were formed by Drifters themselves. For instance, the Cult of Nowhere.

Arts & Entertainment
Drifter Society possesses a large amount of art and other pleasant distractions, including a fully-functional quantum-computing based internet system (Driftnet) and a large number of television clubs. Drifter Hubs are particularly famous for leisure, offering every pleasure known to man for the right price.
