- | ===== Serendip Belt ====== | + | The **Amondiage** system itself is one of the //First Three//, colonised by central European settlers. It is now one of the main powers in the Islands, a strictly controlled military Dictatorship with a strong sense of patriotism. |

- | ===== Amondiage | + | **Neubayern** is one of the original colonies, and still has a strong German culture. The nation is ruled by an elite group of of oligarchs that act almost like royalty. |

+ | |||
+ | Serendip has an impressive military, and still remembers the time when it controlled a lot more worlds after being the first to build Jump capable ships.

The main world is highly populated, with a population of over 30 billion, and everyone is highly social with a strong sense of community. Most people would be considered lower class by Imperium standards, but since such a high proportion of them are, and the richer classes tend not to mix or show off their wealth, there is a relatively high level of contentment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Progress up the chain is through ability, and except at the very top levels of society, favourtism and corruption is low. | ||

+ | The world has a number of small continents, with most of the two billion population on the coastlines or out at sea, either floating or beneath the waves.
