However, the Periphery is not simply a refuge for the fringes of society.  Indeed, the most influential Periphery realms—particularly the ones found along the Rimward Periphery—can be compared favorably with smaller [[Inner Sphere]] powers, with greater degrees of liberty and education. Contrary to Inner Sphere stereotypes, only the most backwater or environmentally hostile planets lack at least some industrialized, twentieth-century-level civilization, with major capital worlds like Taurus or Coromodir being almost indistinguishable from Inner Sphere worlds in sophistication and development.  The relative freedoms of the Periphery have also drawn refugees or deserters of the Succession Wars who sought peace for themselves and their families.  Those living in the Periphery also have a distinct set of core values compared with those of an Inner Sphere denizen.  The majority of Periphery settlers (and their descendants) were/are individuals who live without the relative comfort of Inner Sphere civilization.  As such, Periphery denizens tend to care less for technology, large government, wealth, communications or medicine and education.  Hard living and self-determination are generally held in the highest regard with the majority of Periphery denizens.

The common denizen of the Periphery may seek peace and liberty from the oft oppressive regimes of the Inner Sphere, but many have sought refuge in the Periphery for other reasons.  Over the centuries, many different philosophical movements have taken hold in the Periphery.  Combined with religious and pseudo-religious sects, there are several widely practiced philosophies which have arisen outside of the Inner Sphere.  Listed below are just a few:
