I'd argue Amarr worlds would be very, very heavily distinguished from each other by their distance to places like the Royal "home systems", major trade routes, borders, and of course Amarr itself.

To expand: "Higher" worlds such as the royal home systems, important systems such as Hedion, etc. probably have a higher concentration of Holders as many minor families and even the major ones come together to weave their plots, politik, and so on. In these worlds, sheer necessity of both limited space on the world and ability for commoners to easily be at hand to assist their leiges would demand at least some commoners live close to - if not immediately with - their Holders. I'm sure there would be some "commoner slums" (although even these are likely to be quite wealthy) as well as "Holders only" areas, but there would be more mixing than...

Frontier/underpopulated worlds: Here, Holders would have space to spead out and with no other Holders living next door, some Holders might isolate themselves from the "masses", holding themselves distant in great estates. Of course, this would be a general impression, not at all the absolute rule  - in even more underdeveloped worlds, Holders and Commoners might have to live relatively close simply to take advantage of any defensive measures the colony might have.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Well for Caldari I think you need to draw a major difference between state and achuran cities that would be a major shift due to the deep cultural background of Achuran, however most pre Heth where described more as working factories less actual cities.

Hm, not sure the Achur have much exposure in the State, and with the exception of Saisio, I think everywhere else would be Caldari.

Does bring the question of whether or not we can expect a diversity in architecture across the State, and what form this would take. Considering a very high level of globalization amongst the EVE universe, moreso in the State of all places (across space though, and not a single planet), is a KK world going to visually look any different from an Ishukone world in the same climate and biome?

I'd expect at least superficial differences between the megacorporations. Assuming the two megas worked the same way - which is not a very good assumption. A few megas have a very high focus on tradition (Hyasyoda, Wiyrkomi) and some others might be more liberal. Nugoeihuvi is actually a conglomerate of smaller corps. And so on. A better assumption is that they design to be efficient, so while a KK/Home Guard manufacturing plant might underline military efficiency, a similar Wiyrkomi plant might emphasize the family unit. Most of this wouldn't likely be very obvious to the outside observer, but very obvious to those employees who change employers. Also how the indoctrination is carried out etc. What would be visible to outsiders, however, might be the use of themes, such as SuVee borrowing Achura art (while staying Caldari in form and function), Hyasyoda & Wiyrkomi possibly praising the (assumed) owner families etc.

OP is nigh-on impossible to read in the default skin due to the spoiler tags and the choice of a black font on a dark background.  :(

Updated the CSS to follow the quote color scheme. Let me know if that helps readability.
