I believe it is fair to assume that many of us who find ourselves here come from a number of diverse places which are not always comparable, and as such there are countless backgrounds and experiences represented here. That being said, are there customs or behaviors that you have witnessed or experienced here that bewildered you?
For the sake of discussion, this is my contribution:
[Attached is a photo taken of a flyer he was given for a nightclub, obviously catering to and celebrating the legalization of polyamorous marriages.]
This is not something I am aware of as socially acceptable in my galaxy—or at least my part of it—so encountering it as something so blatantly advertised without discretion came something of a surprise.

They can be, but it is difficult. Many realms are well protected and guarded from outsides, some more than others. They can be exited by ships, as well, with equal amounts of difficulty if you are not supposed to leave.

It's fascinating just how different the universes can be. I assume the realms you speak of are capable of self-reliance in terms of resources and security. That's not the case in my galaxy. It varies world-to-world, but as a whole they're dependent on one another for trade, security, and governance.
