• Will provide for friends, and expects to be repaid in some manner.

• Fits in with their society.
  
• Supports their nation.
  
• Supports the law when advantageous to do so.
  
• Is not concerned with politics, most likely.
  
• Will keep his word.
  
• Will take risks if the benefits are great.
  
• Will not want to disappoint his family.
  
• Will support their family even if it means personal discomfort.

A neutral good government rarely influences the residents of the community other than to help them when they are in need. Neutral good societies tend to adopt whatever government seems most expedient at the moment. A particular form of government lasts as long as the ruler or dynasty in power can maintain it. Transfers of power are usually marked by shifts in government, though these are often bloodless coups. There is a certain apathy about politics and government. Adventurers are treated the same as everyone else.[/ul]
