 New Colchis itself is ruled by King Wilhelm, who acts as dictator. He inherited the title from his father, who inherited it from his grandmother. The powers of the king are somewhat limited, in that though he has total control, exercising that control requires that the other //Principalities// don't interfere in his decisions. As such the politics of the world are quite complicated, and control has switched from one Principality to another before. Normally marriage and other ties are used to ensure smooth cooperation.
-Use of weapons is strictly regulated, and the carrying of firearms is prohibited. Open criticism of the ruling families is also outlawed, though otherwise people are pretty free to do as they please. Local law enforcement is generally well behaved, though those spreading 'misinformation' about the King or his family will be quickly rounded up and given a trial. Such trials are fair, though you need to consider that bad mouthing the government is a crime.

+==== Society ====
 The world has a population of just over 3 billion, with most of it urbanised and about 200 million permanently living in orbit amongst the various habitats that ring the world mostly at 1,000km altitude. There are a few million living on the two moons, and about fifty million more living around the system.

 Much of the rest of society is heavily influenced by half a dozen huge corporations, who each have considerable influence on laws and society. There is no social safety net - if you don't have a job then you will find yourself quickly out of a home and starving unless you can rely on others. Few can afford decent medical care, though medical care is excellent if you can afford it. There are few employment laws, and a lot of people work multiple jobs, often as part of a gig economy.
 There is heavy industry in orbit, and on the two small moons that orbit the main world. Most of the bodies in the system are being worked in some way.
