All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.

World Culture[edit]
Ramadan was founded by Islamic settlers and their influence remains. Due to the highly oppressive religious dictatorship on the world religious doctrine plays a major part in social mores. The people of Ramadan continue to follow the five pillars of Islam, using advanced technology to know which direction Terra is in at any point so they can pray towards Mecca five times a day. Many Ramandains attempt to perform the 45 J-2 Jump Hajj to Terra at least once their lifetime (many wealthy adherents will book J-3 or J-4 travel).
Historical Data[edit]
Ramadan was colonized late during the Rule of Man and was a major world during the Long Night as one of the founding members of the Islamic High Republic. After the Republic descended into civil war between rival worlds Ramadan become isolationist and self-sufficient. Once the Third Imperium reestablished contact with Ramadan they founded the Solomani Inter-Faith Development Partnership of Alpha Crucis (SIPAC) in partnership with New Jakarta, Bismalia, Puertovalez and Tirane.
Ramadan frequently attempts to influence affairs on Hadj (Alpha Crucis 3038) through economic aid, cultural missions and arms sales.
