The way that I am running them, Jovians can get access to most augmentations with proper permits. Nanotech is generally ruled out, but gets heavy use in certain sections of the intelligence and military communities. Most people don't get resleeved, with only the leaders and critical people taking on the burden of living past a natural life, the better to serve the people. People generally don't have muses, and consider them to be as obnoxious as clippy. They have an equivalent browser system with less personality and less probability of running off and joining the Mercurials. Daily life is a retro-futuristic noir setting crafted by the Ministry of Culture, which tries to bring the populace as close to an idealized 1950's midwestern American middle-class lifestyle as possible, just with more gender equality, less racism, and better medicine. People are very well off by todays standards, only appearing destitute when compared to the sorts of things that a well equipped free transhumanist can get. Most Jovians consider this an excellent trade-off, as it means they don't have to live next to some freak with ten arms and ruby-red penises growing out of where the nipples on their eighteen breast are supposed to be. The government controls the media flow between the Jovian Republic and everywhere else, which most people are fine with. The crazy meta-celebrity crap the glitterati get up to is confusing, and frequently scary. When you find sanctity in death, the advent of wildly popular suicide-artists is very upsetting. There is also the ever-present threat of the TITANs coming back, or a Singularity seeker getting what they want, or an Exhuman invasion popping up, or the Ultimates deciding to clean up the genetrash of humanity 1.0, or maybe just rabid sunwhales. The military is necessary, and the fact that 90% of the Republic's resources go into the fleet is perfectly fine. People still pay taxes. It isn't because the government needs the money; it's a centrally planned capitalist token economy where the government has access to post-scarcity economies. People pay taxes because people have always paid taxes. The Jovians can still be certain of death and taxes.

Exactly what Friend Computer said. Jovians also can have cyberware or (to a lesser extent) bioware, but only a few pieces of really utilitarian modifications are common.

For those who have an idea of the Jovian Republic being the Warhammer 40k Imperium in Eclipse Phase: The junta that controls the Jovian Republic has only been around for a handful of years. It doesn't feel self consistent to me that you could transform a society into George Orwell's 1984 or even 1960s Soviet Union (50 years after the Bolsheviks) in a matter of a few years.

The society of all space stations is an artificial one even before you add in the effects of the fall. To find a parallel look to the new world colonies, removing the natives and the ability to run off into the woods, Massachusetts Bay Colony can draw some strong parallels to an Orwellian society. In that it was everyone's responsibility that community members kept Gods covenant.
