The United People of Weiv share a lot of similarities to the humans of the UN but they also differ on many points.
The UPW has a very noticeable and great class divide, especially evident in the cities of the Union. The cities are made up of interchangeable blocks, hallways and buildings almost like a DIY kit. These buildings can very in sizes, some being large enough to be countries. The highest of nobility live in the central most buildings within the cities and these are often designed with artificial skies and weather, being almost identical to real atmospheres of ideal planets themselves. These allow for those living on otherwise uninhabitable planets to feel as if they're in some kind of paradise world. However this contrasts greatly with the lower class slum buildings which at times look like massive storage crates, having no effort being put in to conceal their mass produced industrial appearance.
Queen Erika's propaganda is different amongst different classes but all depict her as a saviour to the people of Weiv. The higher class propaganda depicts her in an innocent and angellic light whereas the poorer class propaganda depict her as a badass warrior of the people. In all of these types she is shown to be just one of the people, inspiring a powerful message to her people that she is one of them and not some evil dictator pulling strings and using them as puppets. Interestingly the propaganda images for Erika are not only on posters / broadcasts but also very commonly found on mugs, stationary, clothing and just about any item possible to brand.
(soon will be example pictures of propaganda.)
One of the major differences is slavery. Amongst the UPW slavery has been perfectly legal since its inception and in fact was often practiced on the original planets that the rebellion was staged to control. It was quickly and widely implemented by the original king and those who verbally opposed it or stood against any of his rule were quickly punished. As such many born within the Union grow up to believe slavery is a natural part of life and do not understand the moral problems with it. It is simply their status, as with all class based societies everyone has their 'place' so to speak.
