+ | |||
+ | For a world that is so crucial to the link between the spinward and trailing halves of the Imperium, it is otherwise a relatively unimportant world, with an unimpressive population, low technology level and limited starport facilities. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The bulk of the population is centred in a crescent around the //Mer Violette// in the northern hemisphere, with about forty million people living in communes there. A ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The world has a thin, tainted atmosphere. Pollen can cause an allergic reaction similar to hay-fever (END 6+ to avoid, -1 to all actions after a day due to headaches and sneezing), or even cause breathing difficulties (END 2+ to avoid, otherwise -1 END every day). Wearing a simple cloth face mask grants a +1 to the check. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Government ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The government is a // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Laws are mostly limited to foreign relations and how contracts are enforced and applied across the world. Individual communes often have tighter sets of laws (such as limits on weapons, what can be contracted, social welfare etc), but as a world there are few limits. Use of weapons of mass destruction are banned, and it's not legal to have a contract that involves the death of an individual, nor anything that requires servitude lasting more than 7 years. Laws also prohibit murder, serious harm and theft. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are no global police or security services. A commune will often have its own, but for those living outside the communes, it is left up to individuals to enforce law and punishment. It's not a complete anarchy, since there are agreed upon fines for different infractions. There are no official prisons - breaking a law leads to a fine. If you can't pay a fine, then you will be declared an outlaw in which case you give up all property rights and no laws protect you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are groups which provide financing to those who can't pay, just as there are groups that will take on investigation and enforcement for a price. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Judge and Jury === | ||
+ | |||
+ | If a crime is committed (murder, theft of property, breaking a contract), then a jury of peers will decide the fate of the accused. For serious crimes, this is generally very quick - within a few days of accusation. There are no judges in such courts - the jury decide guilt, legal interpretation and punishment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Evidence may be presented during the trial, but it's up to the prosecution and defence to obtain that evidence. There are groups that can be paid to do this, or the defence or prosecution can do it themselves. If the defence is locked up, has no friends to help them and no money to pay for someone to find evidence on their behalf, then the chance of being found guilty is very high. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Having friends and being part of a social group on Zuflucht can be very important. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Culture ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Zuflucht is relatively low tech compared to the Imperium. Most technology is limited to personal equipment - computers, digital communications and that sort of thing. Most connect into a world wide social media site where the bulk of online activity occurs. With no regulations on businesses, most infrastructure has fallen under the control of single large corporate entities, which control distribution to the various communes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The people here don't like being told what to do, or what they can or can't say, and there are multiple cultural factions across the world that are quite aggressive in their views. | ||
