History and background[edit]
Considering Argo's government and law level it has a very content populace. Every adult is expected to leave the world at least once in their lifetime, to "see how the other half live."
Although not all return the vast majority do. Those that return are considered to be enlightened civilians, a position that brings certain benefits such as tax breaks and preferential treatment. This system usually assures that any troublesome elements are given every chance to get out of the government's way. It is not unknown for people to emigrate to Argo from the nearby lawless worlds, attracted by the idea of being taken care of and not having to think on one's feet.
