Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2: No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3: Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

I haven't delved into the lore as much, I was always under the impression that The Federation is post-scarcity, due to replicator technology. This is reinforced in the "Shades of Green" Lower Decks episode.
Earth is post-scarcity, but it’s not very clear how much this applies to the whole of the Federation. We’ve definitely seen Federation colonies deal with famine and even societal collapse (in Kirk and Yar’s backstory and elsewhere).
But regardless of all that, DS9 isn’t a Federation station, it’s just managed by Starfleet officers on behalf of the Bajorans.
Yar wasn't from a Federation planet AFAIK
I wasn't talking about odo specifically
