De facto Clan dominance over the Outworlders was legitimized in [[3105]], when the Ravens managed to restructure the alliance to raise the Khanship elevated above the Presidency.

The majority of the population was not subject to Clan economic systems, which tend to result in disaster when enforced on Inner Sphere worlds.

In the early years of the Alliance illegal immigration between the enclaves and Outworlder settlements was widespread, but it has since been brought under control, with legal avenues of changing one's affiliation available in limited and highly regulated amounts.<ref name=S13p23>''Shrapnel: Issue 13'', p. 23, "Voices of the Sphere: Cushioning the Culture Shock"</ref> − − Major religions within the alliance include Gregorian Christianity, Shintoism, Islam and Agnosticism.{{cn}} − − ==Notes== − A previous version of this article included citations but did not specify what information the source corresponded to.
