 The world of Neubayern has a single ocean which stretches around the equator, leaving land masses on the north and south poles, and a smattering of large islands at lower latitudes. It is a cool world, though the temperature is moderated by the huge ocean.
-Most of the three billion population can be found in the grand cities on the polar continents, for the equatorial islands are battered year round by hurricanes that continuously sweep in from the ocean. Over a third of the population live in the large coastal metropolises of the south, built into deep fjords which are leftovers from a previous ice age.
+Most of the three billion population can be found in the grand cities on the polar continents, for the equatorial islands are battered year round by hurricanes that continuously sweep in from the ocean. Over two thirds of the population live in the large coastal metropolises of the continent of Swabia in the south, built into deep valleys which are leftovers from a previous ice age.
 The Neubayerns pride themselves on their architecture and engineering, both of which they practice on a large scale, combining them into their massive floating city blocks that circle around the more traditional ground based districts. These floating islands are the homes to the rich and wealthy, and also tend to house the universities and high tech commerce, leaving the ground to heavy industries and lower class residential.
-The capital of **New Berlin** is a metropolis of 20 million people, with white painted brick buildings decorated with classical columns and tall dark windows. The style is very different to that of places like [[New Colchis]] or [[Amondiage]]. The architecture feels much more solid and low tech, which makes the floating city blocks all the more impressive.

+==== Government ====
+Neubayern is a //Charismatic Oligarchy//, with governorship falling to the families directly descended from the original colonists. Officially, the //Hoher Tisch//, or //High Table// as it is called, consists of five individuals considered experts in their fields of expertise, voted on for 10 year terms by the various lesser governors of the world. Only members of the founding families are ever put forward though in elections, and it is rare for someone already a member of the High Table to be challenged if they stand for re-election, making the post effectively for life.
+==== Culture ====
+Neubayern has a highly educated populace, with a high proportion of science and engineering. They are loyal to the government, but also slightly fearful of it as well due to its high levels of loyalty enforcement.
+Though light skin and fair hair is common, it is by no means exclusive, and there has been a lot of genetic mixing both prior to the launch of the //van der Lubbe// and after the arrival of all three generation ships in the Islands.
+Religion is mixed, though generally has a light touch, especially in the south. About 40% of the population in the north consider themselves religious, mostly following the //Church of the Exodus//. In south, the proportion is closer to 20%.
+===== Belt =====
+**Starport:** C
+The belt is a hive of mining activity, with a permanent population of around 200 million. Most of these are young workers who will stay for 5-10 years, then head back to Neubayern once they've earned enough money to buy property and start a family, but some are longtimers who plan to stay here their entire life.
