Myself, I would lean towards Unification because I would think it was safer, but in the end, I would have fought for Independence because I dont like people telling me what to do, and would have died on Hera in some lonely section of Serenity Valley.

I would be for Independence mostly because if i did live in the 'verse im sure i would have been born on one of them "uncivilized" planets. Plus, i would not be fore some big "Grand Unification" if it was being forced on me. I would have been one to take up arms. Would i have lived through the war...your guess would be as good as mine.

I'm very unlucky so chances are I probably would have been born on the earth that was, living in a blasted wasteland, barely able to scrap by. Although if I were born on the new worlds then I not only would I be for Unification, I would probably be running the Academy, ruining people's lives and doing horrible experiments on gifted children to turn them into psychic assassins trained to eliminate enemies of the Alliance *insert maniacal laugh*.

Unification. Internecine warfare is bad--the 'verse would be worse off with wars between Ariel and Sihnon, say.
Not to say I'd like the Alliance, but I'd have supported unification.

The Alliance is a facade. It enforces corporate domination, i.e. Blue Sun, through public misinformation, feigned philanthropy, covert non-governmental operatives (hands of blue, two by two), and outright military aggression if necessary. To support unification is to support those who think they know better how you should live your life than you do. Rise up all oppressed sentient beings of the 'verse. Throw off the shackles of ignorance. Fight for independence now! Join the browncoats in the glorious battle for truth, justice, and Miranda.
So many worlds. So little time.

As a Canadian, I can see both sides of the coin and like different things about them. I like the idea of a central government, of planets working together, as opposed to dozens of different tiny governments fighting each other over territory and space. Plus, if you have to convert your cash to a different currency every time you went to a different planet, it would be a massive inconvenience for all.
But at the same time, I would like the personal freedoms and independent rule and democracy that the Independents crave so much, and not have to live in a totalitarian society run by corporations.
I suppose the ideal political situation I'd like to live in if I lived in the Firefly verse is that the Alliance functioned like an intergalactic democratic country, and that each of the planets were like states or provinces. They would be under some greater government control, but each planet would have it's own Premier or Governor and cabinet that would decide local (as in for the planet in particular) policies, standards, etc. And of course, no Big Brother watching me.
