Also keep in mind that while the State may not treat everyone in it as a precious individual, it is still one of the best places to be born, in the PF. Yes, they tend to live communally in dormitories, and get a lot of biased news and information. But they also have strong social connections and support, well-defined goals, and an emotional attachment to the success and stability of their nation and corporation. All of these things tend - as the PF notes - to make life "fairly pleasant and productive", as long as you don't end up outside of the system.
Thus, we can expect (contra-Tony G), that the majority of Caldari citizens do not want to mess up the established order all that much, because even your average Caldari citizen does indeed have a lot to lose, and if you are not one of the truly outcast, you probably don't live in that much poverty. Of course, if you do, you're fucked. But if you do, you also almost certainly did something to get there (Edit: from the perspective of the Caldari).
