Politics of Jack of Harts
I keep most politics out of my stories, but I do have the military and the police as good guys. Given current politics that would label it heavily right wing. 😉 Most of the viewpoint characters are from places like the Republic of Texas or Northern Minnesota, both of which have a frontier mindset. Several characters are from the New England Federation, which is more of an Oligarchy posing as a futuristic Democracy. Very cheap fusion power and fabricators make anything necessary to live, making it very much a post-scarcity economy in the vein of Star Trek. Money still exists, but it is used for luxuries, not necessities. That makes politics different, though as in all things, the more things change, the more things stay the same…
