Ditto on Kline Station. I had kind of forgotten about it.
For more adventurous types, it's a bit dull and stifling.
Rather like Beta, in fact ("mind you, a great place to raise kids"). And they both have governmental control over reproduction (and partially for the same reason). I doubt that Bujold intended this to be a Thing (controlled reproduction=peaceful society), but it's an interesting parallel I hadn't thought of previously.
