History and background[edit]

"Freedom by the sword" or "living on a knife edge" are the meanings of the Ziadd word Oeth, and the population of this world have taken the right to bear arms to new heights. All persons living on this world must carry at least one weapon at all times, and all government posts are held until the incumbent is assassinated. The killing of a member of the government is considered "every citizen's right of free speech" and not a crime.

World Starport[edit]

Oeth has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level[edit]

Oeth possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government[edit]

Oeth is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.

Demographics[edit]

Its 6,000 registered inhabitants are Ziadd.

Languages[edit]

Urbanization[edit]

Ziadd structures tend to be solid and blocky and are usually heavily decorated. Many fly flags and banners declaring allegiance and status.
