Nonsense, they're a Republic, which no doubt means their people live in poverty whilst their Senators live in luxury and finery. As is the way.
You are free to believe that—or anything else—as much as you want. However, I want to reinforce that you are
not free to RP Barcan culture, or its peasants or nobles, being a certain way without general permission from the Barcans (or prior RP from the Barcans describing their culture in that way).
