[[Exobiology]] (...also called astrobiology or xenobiology) is the study of non-Terran [[lifeform]]s. <br />
* Any nonhuman sophont species and the other lifeforms that share their [[homeworld]]s<br />
* Also includes all other lifeforms from [[environment]]s that did not yet produce [[sophont]]s <br />
* The study of Terran lifeforms is known as Terro-biology (...the study of [[Terragen]]s) or often simply biology although that term also applies to all life.<br />

<div>A [[Trade Station]] is an establishment for the promotion of interstellar commerce by serving as clearing houses for merchant dealings. <br />
* It is a kind of [[Space Station]].<br />
<br />
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==<br />
There is no single controlling agency for [[Trade Station]]s; some are established by private companies, on their own or under contract to the {{Imperium}}, some are run by the [[Scout Service]], and others are operated by different branches of the Imperial government. Almost all [[Trade Station]]s are run by governments ([[polities]]) since the expense of running a Trade Station is so high. However, it is not unknown for [[Megacorporation]]s or other private entities to fund one.<br />
<br />
'''Trade Stations''' are typically built upon heavily-traveled, high-profit [[Trade Routes]]. <br />
* Smaller trade stations most often consist of surface installations attached to [[starport]]s. <br />
* Larger ones often involve '''[[Highport]]s''' that work with '''[[Downport]]s''' or planetary surface [[starport]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Vargr Stations (Interstellar Relations) ===<br />
In the {{Sm}} the Imperial government has established several trading stations along the border of the [[Vargr Extents]] to encourage commerce, with the ultimate aim of economically tying the nearby Vargr to the Imperium, lessening the chance of their joining the [[Zhodani Consulate]] in a new war.<br />
<br />
=== Representative Selection ===<br />
For example, there are five trade stations in [[Aramis Subsector]] operated by the Scout Service to promote trade with the [[Vargr]]: <br />

A [[Space Station|WO-class Space Station]] are large [[artificial satellite]]s, capable of sustaining [[life]].<br />
* It is a technological sophont-made orbital device made to support [[life]] and the expansion of orbital existence from the near [[atmosphere]] or orbital pathway of a [[planet]].<br />
* They are known by a wide variety of names and terms and come in as wide a set of shapes, forms, and technological formats.<br />
* The [[Supraclass]] designation is also known as [[Ship Mission]], [[Ship Mission Code]], Mission, or [[Ship Hull Designation]]. <br />
* It is a [[starship]] [[supraclass]].<br />

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==<br />
Orbital complexes range in size from single stations up to large, sprawling cities. Complexes can be joined in a daisy-chain arrangement, or simply a group of closely proximate individual complexes in the same orbit. Three general size categories exist: orbital stations, orbital settlements, and orbital cities.<br />
<br />
Space stations go by an incredible variety of names and serve an equally diverse set of missions from highports to orbital factories to shipyards and more. When technology advances adequately, they can be a viable residential option especially around small worlds.<br />

=== Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine) ===<br />
''Space Station''s are an important part of TL:10-15 technological life, linking to beanstalks, decreasing mass [[fuel]] needs of [[system craft]], allowing better [[mainworld]] access to [[FTL]] [[merchant vessel]]s, and, in general, making intra-planetary and inter-stellar life possible.<br />
<br />
While space stations can be weaponized as [[battle station]]s, most are cost-efficient civilian structures and are vulnerable to [[raider vessel]]s unless protected by [[COACC]] forces or other defensive craft.<br />
<br />
=== Supraclass Roles ===<br />
''System Craft'' typically serve the following roles:<br />

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==<br />
Orbital complexes range in size from single stations up to large, sprawling cities. Complexes can be joined in a daisy-chain arrangement, or simply a group of closely proximate individual complexes in the same orbit. Three general size categories exist: orbital stations, orbital settlements, and orbital cities.<br />
<br />
Space stations go by an incredible variety of names and serve an equally diverse set of missions from highports to orbital factories to shipyards and more. When technology advances adequately, they can be a viable residential option especially around small worlds.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine) ===<br />
''Space Station''s are an important part of TL:10-15 technological life, linking to beanstalks, decreasing mass [[fuel]] needs of [[system craft]], allowing better [[mainworld]] access to [[FTL]] [[merchant vessel]]s, and, in general, making intra-planetary and inter-stellar life possible.<br />
<br />
While space stations can be weaponized as [[battle station]]s, most are cost-efficient civilian structures and are vulnerable to [[raider vessel]]s unless protected by [[COACC]] forces or other defensive craft.<br />
<br />
=== Supraclass Roles ===<br />
''System Craft'' typically serve the following roles:<br />
<br />

# [[Barge]] (WB)<br />
# [[Cargo Barge]]<br />
# [[Passenger Barge]]<br />

== [[Trade Route]]s ([[Physical Astrography|Physical]] & [[Socioeconomic Astrography]]) ==<br />
[[File: Imperial Sunburst-Sun-IISS-Traveller.gif|right]]<br />
[[Astrography]] and travel in the Marches are dominated by the '''''[[Spinward Main]]''''', a chain of 223 systems meandering through fifteen of the Marches' sixteen subsectors. <br />
<br />
Each system on the [[Spinward Main]] is only jump-1 from its nearest neighbors, making interstellar travel along the Main accessible even to [[starship]]s with the least expensive jump drives.<br />

[[Regina Subsector]] is the hub of new development in the [[Spinward Marches Sector]]. Located at the very edge of the [[Third Imperium|Imperium]], it serves as a contact point with the [[Vargr]] to [[coreward]] and the [[Zhodani]] to [[spinward]]; the result is considerable trade activity through the [[Starport]]s of the region.<br />
<br />
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==<br />
''Regina'', subsector C of [[Spinward Marches Sector|Spinward Marches]] has 32 worlds, of which 23 have native gas giants. There is one Asteroid (As) belt, two Desert (De) worlds, two Garden (Ga) worlds, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, two Poor (Po) worlds, three Vacuum (Va) worlds, and two Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds. In Regina there are four race homeworlds. <br />
<br />
All worlds in the Regina subsector are members of the Imperium with the technical exception of [[Ruie (world)|Ruie]]; however several important nations on Ruie have recently become members in their own right.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# [[Province of Noncredo]]: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

<br />
==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The [[Llaravi Company]] was the only private enterprise that could afford its own [[patrol vessel]]s, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a [[Type T class Patrol Ship|400 T jump-1 patrol ship (world)|400 T jump-1 patrol ship]] named the ''Paladin''.<br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the [[Regina Cluster]]. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# [[Province of Noncredo]]: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

<br />
==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The [[Llaravi Company]] was the only private enterprise that could afford its own [[patrol vessel]]s, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a [[Type T class Patrol Ship|400 T jump-1 patrol ship (world)|400 T jump-1 patrol ship]] named the ''Paladin''.<br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# [[Province of Noncredo]]: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />
## Capital: Credo<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

<br />
==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The [[Llaravi Company]] was the only private enterprise that could afford its own [[patrol vessel]]s, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a [[400 T jump-1 patrol ship (world)|400 T jump-1 patrol ship]] named the ''Paladin''.<br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# [[Province of Noncredo]]: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

<br />
==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# [[Province of Noncredo]]: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

== Description ([[Astrography]] & [[Planetology]]) ==<br />
''Rhylanor'' is a smallish, normal [[climate]] planet with a very thin oxygen-nitrogen [[atmosphere]] located in a [[Rhylanor Cluster|cluster of three star systems]] just off the [[Spinward Main]]. As such it provides a useful short cut for high-Jump vessels and [[Xboat]]s but is inaccessible to most commercial ships. The majority of traffic into Rhylanor comes via the [[Celepina (world)|Celepina]]-[[Jae Tellona (world)|Jae Tellona]] link or from [[Fulacin (world)|Fulacin]] to [[Porozlo (world)|Porozlo]].<br />

''Rhylanor'' occupies the innermost orbit of its star system, at a distance of 0.21 AUs from its primary, with an orbital period of about 54.9 standard days. Rhylanor's axis is tilted to the plane of its orbit by approximately 15<sup>o</sup>. Its retrograde rotational period of 10.98 standard days causes Rhylanor to make exactly five rotations per revolution about its sun. From the vantage point of Rhylanor's surface, the sun rises in the west and travels eastward, completing one local day every 9.15 standard days, sunrise to sunrise. {{Page cite|name=First In|page=56, 61, 63, 75, 97, 104, 107|citeName=First In}} <br />

While the modern ''Rhylanor Highport'' is extensive and sees major traffic, the older Stanford-torus style highport that was built in the year [[606]] (known affectionately as "'''''Old Station'''''" to locals) still sees its fair share of visitors and through-traffic. <br />
<br />
The modern ''Rhylanor Highport'' is a self-sufficient sealed habitat sustained by more than 20 bio-domes which maintain its atmosphere and contain sufficient hydroponics bays to support the entire indigenous population as well as livestock. While the majority of the facility is maintained to accommodate human and human-like biological needs, the great diversity of travellers who pass through the station has resulted in the maintenance of a number of ''Alternate Atmosphere Districts'', collectively known as the "''Alien Quarter''". One of the most famous landmarks on '''Rhylanor Highport''' is the "''Admiral's Fountain''" - an enormous water-spout that issues from the Rhylanor Shipping Tower. The spray dissipates into a fine mist almost 2.0km wide which catch the rays of the rising sun over the planetary horizon below, creating an iridescent rainbow that locals refer to as "''the jewels of Rhylanor''". {{Page cite|name=Starports|page=66-71|citeName=MGS}}<br />
<br />
''Rhylanor "Old Station" Highport'', on the other hand, is of a dual-torus construction with an overall diameter for each "wheel" of 2100 meters, and a rim-diameter of 150 meters. One of the two tori is the main habitat (including the approximately 500 shops and businesses of ''Old Station's'' famous "Main Concourse" spanning four separate levels), while the other torus is given over to the agricultural needs of the station. {{Page cite|name=Cirque|page=68}}<br />
<br />
While the main ''Rhylanor Highport'' is an immense orbital city, ''Rhylanor Down'', is, by comparison, a meager affair occupying only several square kilometers, and its associated Startown is a somewhat "scruffy" place filled with those who were unsuccessful in their attempts to "strike it big". {{Page cite|citeName=MGS}}<br />

{{WorldGov|name=Rhylanor|Government=3}}<br />
<br />
''Rhylanor'' is nominally headed by a monarch (who is also usually an Imperial ceremonial noble), who acts as ceremonial head of state. The monarch is not an absolute ruler and operates within strict constitutional guidelines, consulting with his Privy Council whose members are drawn from the planet’s higher nobility. His power is limited by the authority of the other branches of Rhylanor's government. {{Page cite|name=First In|page=56, 61, 63, 75, 97, 104, 107|citeName=First In}} <br />
<br />
Rhylanor's government primarily consists of two groups, both of which are filled with Rhylanor's nobles. Membership in the government is either handed down to the oldest child in a noble family after the death of the parent, or granted by elevation due to meritorious service or achievement. {{Page cite|name=Grand Census|page=25|citeName=Grand Census}}<br />
<br />
One group is known as the "'''Three Councils'''"·, which make laws and determine the guilt or innocence of lawbreakers. Each council is in charge of one area of law. The '''Council of Rhylanor''' makes all local laws. The '''Council of Space''' makes all laws concerning visitors to the planet and relations of the planetary government to the Imperium and other worlds. The '''Council of Revenue''' sets taxes. {{Page cite|name=Grand Census|page=25|citeName=Grand Census}} The planet’s '''High Court''' is a small council (drawn from the membership of the Three Councils) whose members inherit their posts. It consists of seven of the highest planetary nobles. These seven ''Law Lords'' rule on the most important cases, and also oversee all lower courts for the planet. {{Page cite|name=First In|page=56, 61, 63, 75, 97, 104, 107|citeName=First In}} <br />
<br />
The second main group in Rhylanor's government, performing the executive function, is known as the ·"'''Little Council'''". Its fifteen members each oversee the activities of the government in one of fifteen administrative areas. Thus separate police and armed forces are organized differently in each area, although all must enforce the same laws set by the Three Councils. {{Page cite|name=Grand Census|page=25|citeName=Grand Census}}<br />
<br />
The current government is relatively new to Rhylanor, the result of a constitutional convention held in 1056. {{Page cite|name=Grand Census|page=25|citeName=Grand Census}} <br />

This world has a significant Imperial military presence and facilities.<br />
<br />
===== Point of Interest: Naval Base =====<br />
The subsector fleet has its headquarters at Rhylanor, and there is a very powerful system squadron. '''Rhylanor''' also boasts a large naval academy where young officers-to-be undergo their education and training.<br />
<br />
Prior to the [[Fifth Frontier War]], the naval base hosted the [[212th Fleet (SM)|212th Fleet]]. During the war, the fleet was used to defend the [[Jewell Subsector]] and subsequently moved there. After the war, the [[23rd Fleet]] was moved to Rhylanor from the [[Lanth Subsector]]. {{Page cite|name=The Spinward Marches Campaign|page=9}} {{Page cite|name=Rebellion Sourcebook|page=26}}<br />
<br />
===== Point of Interest: Scout Base =====<br />
''Rhylanor'' also has a large [[Scout Base]] that acts as a communications depot for the [[X-Boat|Xboat]] routes as well as a regional planning and command center. The facility is quite extensive and contains training facilities for some of the more specialized scout roles. <br />
<br />
===== Point of Interest: Warships' Graveyard =====<br />
During the [[Fifth Frontier War]] Rhylanor was the site of several critical naval battles between the Imperial and [[Zhodani Consulate|Zhodani]] fleets. The Rhylanor system still contains relics of the climactic battle, in the form of the [[Warships Graveyard]], where the shattered hulks of disabled vessels were gathered together by tugs in order to prevent their being a hazard to navigation. The whole graveyard is classified as a red zone, and patrolled to prevent any but licensed salvage operatives from entering. The area is designated as a war grave by both Zhodani and Imperial authorities.<br />
<br />
=== [[Economic Extension|World Economy]] ===<br />
Several [[Megacorporation]]s have their regional headquarters on Rhylanor, or at least a major installation. Some of Rhylanor's extensive shipyards are privately owned but most are either Megacorporate subsidiaries or at least partially funded by Megacorp money. Corporations with offices and facilities on Rhylanor include:<br />
* [[Blackhawk Enterprises]]<br />
* [[Cirque duh Sirka Foundation, LIC]]<br />
* [[Clan Severn]]<br />
* [[Daarnulud Design Bureau|Daarnulud Design Bureau LIC]]<br />
* [[Golden Pharma]]<br />

* [[Ling-Standard Products]]<br />
* [[MindGames]]<br />
* [[Oberlindes Lines]]<br />
* [[Rhylanor Shipping|Rhylanor Shipping LIC]]<br />
* [[Venturprise]]<br />
<br />
'''Rhylanor''' is also a center for industry, commerce and education. The [[Rhylanor Institute of Technology]] is one of the most prominent hard-science and technological-research institutions in the entire Imperium and is almost certainly the foremost such facility this side of [[Corridor Sector]]. The [[Rhylanor Polytechnic]] also provides advanced technical education in a number of technology-related fields. The [[University of Rhylanor]] also boasts a strong hard science and technical curriculum among its many varied and diverse degree programs, but is principally a planetary university serving the needs of the local citizenry of Rhylanor. <br />

<br />
==== Urbanization ====<br />
Most of Rhylanor's population live in [[pressure-dome cities]] and [[underground habitat]]s, though many of these are built into hills and mountainsides. In addition to [[Rhylanor Startown]], other major settlements on Rhylanor include Leba, Liduka, Hegra, Panish, and Kikhimaa City. {{Page cite|name= Megatraveller 2: Quest for the Ancients |pages= TBD}}<br />

This [[world]] possesses TBD infrastructure.<br />
<br />
=== [[Cultural Extension|World Culture]] ===<br />
''Rhylanor'' has a fairly moderate society with liberal laws; most citizens view their government as a meritocracy. Entry to the world's ruling elite is most commonly gained through power and achievement. Elevation for achievement is generally linked with service to the Imperium or to Rhylanor's armed forces, though accomplishments in other areas such as science or entertainment are also rewarded in this way. Rhylanor's economy is relatively free, and taxes are low. With a law level of 4, inhabitants of Rhylanor live peaceful lives. Police are occasionally visible, but citizens are not harassed and have nothing to fear from governmental excesses. <br />
<br />
==== World Arts ====<br />
Rhylanor has a thriving art community. Of particular preference and popularity are live theater and non-digitized performances. {{Page cite|name=Cirque|page= TBD}} The computerized strategy game called [[Dhage]] was originally developed on Rhylanor in the sixth century. {{Page cite|name=MegaTraveller Journal 1|page= TBD}}<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
''Rhylanor'' was the former home of [[Olav]] hault-[[Plankwell family|Plankwell]] -- the first of the [[Emperors of the Flag]]. As [[Grand Admiral of the Marches]], Olav had previously led the Marches Fleet against the [[Outworld Coalition]] in the [[First Frontier War]] before leading his forces to [[Capital (world)|Capital]] to seize the [[Third Imperium|Imperial]] throne. <br><br />
''Rhylanor'' is likewise the former seat of the [[Duke of Rhylanor/1st creation|1st creation of the Dukes of Rhylanor]], the [[Alkhalikoi family|House Alkhalikoi]], from whom came the [[Grand Admiral of the Marches]] and future Empress, [[Arbellatra|Arbellatra Khatami Alkhalikoi]], founder of the [[Alkhalikoi family|Alkhalikoi]] Dynasty of Emperors. <br />

Upon entering the system, the first thing a traveller will notice about Rhylanor is its bleak-looking slate and obsidian color and a scarcity of active weather patterns. Rhylanor's very thin atmosphere, rocky composition and mineral-rich oceans make it as gray as jump space. Scant meteorological activity can be accounted for by weak stellar emanations coming from Rhylanor's solitary red dwarf star, Icarus. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
As travellers approach close orbit, however, they will begin to notice immense amber and brown splotches of urban sprawl on the small world's surface. Rhylanor's linear and hard-edged coastlines stem from massive terraforming projects performed over generations since Rhylanor was settled in the frontier days of the Spinward Marches (ca. 150). Urban areas include scores of arcologies, gravitic cities and even undersea settlements whose main business is the distillation of valuable ore products that seep forth from Rhylanor's multitude of undersea vents. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Rhylanor's principal Highport, the '''Rhylanor Orbital Starport''' (''R.O.S.'' or "''Ross''", as it is affectionately known) is home to multiple millions of inhabitants. Ross is unique in that it is a modular orbital city, comprised of three separate units. Normally the three units are united into one cohesive orbital starport/city, but during major fleet maneuvers or wartime, the three modules divide into separate entities that are strategically placed at equidistant vertices in point defense of Rhylanor proper. Each module is equipped with a 2-G maneuver drive and dozens of PAWs, missile launchers and meson-gun mounts for such exercises. The three starport modules are called '''Vord''', '''Emberheim''', and '''Xao''', named for a famous scientist, entrepreneur, and military leader, respectively, drawn from Rhylanor's colorful history. ''Emberheim'', the largest of the three modules, contains Rhylanor's massive orbital shipbuilding yard. Administered by the system government, major portions of the yard are leased to Ling Standard Products and General Products LIC. Many smaller indigenous shipbuilding outfits also lease manufacturing space at the facility. Each of the three modules contains space leased to the Regency Navy (RN) and Regency Interstellar Scout Service (RISS) as well. The majority of Rhylanor's SDB squadrons are docked at ''Xao''. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Over 70 percent of Ross's permanent population is civilian. Most of the civilian population is employed in some capacity by Rhylanor-based subsidiaries of Imperial megacorporations. Numerous merchant lines including such notables as Oberlindes lease or own major lots in each of Ross's modules. Two arcologies are mounted on each module, housing approximately 85 percent of the civilian population. The remaining 15 percent live in settlements located in scattered areas of Ross's immense lattice-like structure. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Highly competitive trading blocs operate on each of Ross's modules, each with its own dominant bloc. The blocs are very turf-sensitive and will take quick and decisive action against any off-worlders who come into their territory and trade without paying an appropriate obeisance to the dominant bloc on the module. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
The powerful ''Rhylanor Ministry of Trade'' (RMT) keeps a watchful eye on all mercantile activity. The export of Rhylanori technology, especially cutting-edge Rhylanori computer and robotics technology (see below), is heavily policed by law enforcement agents assigned to the RMT. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Despite the clannish trading blocs and intrusive RMT on Ross, free trade manages to flourish, with off-world goods constantly flowing into Ross's ports from throughout the central portion of the Regency. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Rhylanor has a bicameral government which prefers a hands-off approach for the most part, allowing easy passage on and off-world. Liberal weapon possession and personal freedom laws are intended to encourage off-world trade and tourism. The RMT presence is every bit as intrusive as it is on Ross, but the trading blocs do not have a presence on Rhylanor proper. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
The ''Executive Proxy'' (EP) is the reigning government on Rhylanor, consisting of eight senators. The EP have historically been drawn from the ranks of retired flag rank Imperial or Regency naval officers, native Rhylanori corporate executives, Rhylanori nobility and senior legislative-branch politicos. Upon taking office, each member of the EP prepares a preferred list of three successors. The senator may optionally alter his preferred list at the end of each eight-year term. Most do not, however, as altering one's list is seen by the electorate as a sign of weakness. When a senator dies or willingly secedes, the general population of Rhylanor votes for one of the three successors to replace the senator. The EP, for the most part, tries to facilitate free trade and off-world tourism by maintaining a hands-off approach. Their primary function is directing the economy of Rhylanor, promoting industrial projects and public works, and generally touting Rhylanor to the rest of the subsector and the Regency in general. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}} <br />
<br />
Legal power and administration of the powerful RMT is administered by the ''Magistracy'', Rhylanor's lower governmental house and judicial branch. Magistrates are elected by popular vote in population bloc electoral districts. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
A division exists between the governmental approach and native Rhylanori sentiment concerning off-worlders. While the government encourages free trade and tourism, the citizens of the planet are known to be rather smug. In fact, "Rhylanori pride" is known throughout the Marches as the defining characteristic of this system's citizens. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Rhylanori pride stems from historical events. Rhylanor served as the pivotal system in the Fifth Frontier War. Advancing Zhodani forces were stopped and turned back at its borders. For a time, prominent local groups such as the Sisters of Rhylanorae, the local Brotherhood diocese, and the Olavopolis Patriot Guild even lobbied the Imperium to establish Rhylanor as the capital of the Spinward Marches. Though Mora was eventually selected for astrographic and historical reasons, most Rhylanori believe their world is more deserving of the honor. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}} <br />
<br />
The Rhylanori are a progressive people and look at defeat as part of an ongoing struggle. Any and all recognition is quickly magnified and extolled. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}} <br />
<br />
Off-worlders may be put off initially by Rhylanori pride. Attempts to make trading pacts or establish permanent residency on Rhylanor may well be rebuked in the courteous but decisive Rhylanori manner at first. Persistence, however, wins out on Rhylanor. Off-worlders will discover that the exclusive and conservative Rhylanori greatly admire mavericks, entrepreneurs and frontiersmen. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
In the colonial days of the planet, tough settlers had to brave Rhylanor's harsh and unforgiving environment to establish the foundation of what is, in their minds, the greatest jewel and example of technological might in the Marches. As a notable offworlder who made his way on Rhylanor as an oceanic wildcatter once said, "If you dig your way in like a tick on a kian's back, hold tight and weather the storm, you're a Rhylanori for life." {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
The capital city of Rhylanor and location of its main starport is Olavopolis, named for the First Frontier War hero, Admiral Olav hault-Plankwell. Olavopolis is an immense city, and a planetary nexus for commerce, education, and industry. The city is comprised of arcologies, floating gravitic residential and industrial centers, and subsurface oceanic domes that extend beyond the coastline of Olavopolis's terrestrial sprawl. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Arbellatracon, Rhylanor's largest city, is the planet's manufacturing center. Consisting mostly of massed arcologies, dismal industrial Arbellatracon is for the most part a rough and tumble blue-collar city. Eighty-eight percent of the population are members of the Brotherhood church. On their weekly day of rest, Wonday, Arbellatrans don bright ritual compressor apparatuses adorned with fetishes and ascend to the surface of the planet to pray in the dim light of Icarus. Under the moonless violet Rhylanori skies, they engage in two to three hours of prayer and then return to their apartments for ritual feasting and drinking. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Rhylanor boasts several smaller cities as well, the largest of which, Fuirmidh, is the home of the [[University of Rhylanor]]. A referendum to rename the city Norriscon, after the Fifth Frontier War hero and former Duke of Regina, was defeated in a landslide vote in 1110, after opponents of the referendum successfully reminded the citizens of Rhylanor that Norris too clearly represented Regina to be worthy of such an honor. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
As for Rhylanor's technological might, most of the planet's industries operate at {{TL|15}}, with Rhylanori specialties such as computers, robotics and many aspects of starship building in some cases achieving {{TL|16}}. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Members of Rhylanor's highly technical planetary navy, COACC, and 23rd fleet Regency naval personnel staff are drawn primarily from the population of Rhylanor proper and other planets in the system. Conversely, Rhylanor's army and marine regiments are only about 20 percent Rhylanori. The bulk of Rhylanor's soldiers are volunteers and conscripted troops from the nearby [[Porozlo (world)|Porozlo]] and [[Jae Tellona (world)|Jae Tellona]] systems. The highly disciplined Jae Tellonan units are known as the "[[Rashakhra|Rashakhras]]", named for a long-dead Vilani warrior caste that fought in the Interstellar Wars. The [[Rashakhra|Rashakhras]] are respected and feared throughout the Marches and are known to be some of the toughest soldiers of the Regency. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
The [[University of Rhylanor]] in Fuirmidh is a hotbed of ideas and liberalism, and the UR has long been a place where innovation and intellectual freedom flourish. The conservative population of Rhylanor often sneer at the mention of the university, but grudgingly accept it for its merits. Known during the Fifth Frontier War for pro-[[Ine Givar]] student protests, the university remains a place where dissenters can voice their opinions. UR is Rhylanor's bastion of liberalism. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
The very thin atmosphere of Rhylanor freely admits stellar radiation from Icarus, making the planet typically hot, averaging 21.3 degrees C. The atmosphere and extreme axial tilt of Rhylanor (48 degrees), however, result in large daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Because of these extremeties, nearly all Rhylanori own and frequently use compressors. Those who engage in prolonged exposure to the elements own vacc suits and PLSS systems. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
Rhylanor's weak natural gravity (0.28g) is augmented in urban areas by immense artificial gravity grids. Rhylanor's urban artificial gravity level is about 0.60g. Rhylanori technology also defies the planet's weak planetary electromagnetism for the purpose of maintaining its maglev public transportation network. EMP generators are maintained at intervals along the maglev public transportation web. The generators enable maglev to operate on the planet despite Rhylanor's weak natural electromagnetism. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />
<br />
The Rhylanori are essentially a proud and forward-thinking people whose world is just reaching maturity in the galactic scheme of things. Though commercial enterprise and legal bureaucracy have made their imprint on the system, native Rhylanori long for the days of colonial freedom and the wild frontier. Consequently, most Rhylanori greatly admire the adventurer's spirit though most are loathe to give up the golden handcuffs of their technologically advanced and liberated society. {{Unpublished cite|citeName=RICE2716}}<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

The [[4518th Lift Infantry Regiment]], the Duke of Regina's Own Huscarles- was founded with Imperial Marines. It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# [[Province of Noncredo]]: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />
# [[Province of Madzaki]]: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# [[Province of Feni]]: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# [[Province of Imsu]]: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# [[Province of Ishkis]]: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# [[Province of Ishimir]]: And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
## There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />

=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

<div>The chief administrator of the original settlement on [[Regina (world)|Regina]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
When the [[Sisters of St. Regina]] emigrated from their original world of [[Aiere (world)|Aiire]], they brought along a group of devout lay people to support them in their new home. The sisters left it to the colonists to figure out the details of how to organize themselves as long as they provided for the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title 'Mayor of Credo' and a board of advisors to help him govern. <br />
<br />
In [[119]], the third mayor, [[Adam Grant]], staged a bloodless coup that left the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] as the titular head of Regina, but took away her influence in secular affairs, leaving the mayor as the highest authority in all matters not directly rfelated to the [[Abbey of St. Matthews|Abbey]] and the [[Church of Regina|Church]]. <br />
<br />
The mayors ruled over Regina for another 131 years until it joined the Imperium as a member world in [[250]]. At that time it reorganized itself as the [[Kingdom of Regina]] and the 19th and last mayor, [[Raybon Iuda]], was made [[Marquis of Regina]] for his part in brokering the membership. The Mayor's office was taken over by a board of nine delegates (The Lord Delegates for the Performance of the Functions of the Mayor of<br />
Credo), three appointed by the Church, three appointed by major mercantile interests, and three elected by a conclave of citizens. At the same time the functions were reduced from ruling the world to running the city of Credo.<br />
<br />
In modern times four of the members of the board are appointed by the [[Regina Merchant's Association]], four are elected by the citizens of Credo, and one is appointed by the Church.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# [[Province of Noncredo]]: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />
# [[Province of Madzaki]]: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# [[Province of Feni]]: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# [[Province of Imsu]]: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# [[Province of Ishkis]]: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# [[Province of Ishimir]]: And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
## There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Province of Noncredo: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />
# Province of Madzaki: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# Province of Feni: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# Province of Imsu: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# Province of Ishimir: And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
## There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The [[House Menetry|Menetry family]] did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Province of Noncredo: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />
# Province of Madzaki: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# Province of Feni: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# Province of Imsu: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# Province of Ishimir: And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
## There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all [[Anglic]]-speaking humans of [[Solomani]] ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the [[New Catholic Church]] some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small [[freighter]]s were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby [[low-tech world]] of [[Llaravi (world)|Llaravi]] (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the [[Spinward Main]] developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company]], [[LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a [[starport]] with repair facilities and a [[fuel purification plant]] in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Province of Noncredo: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />
# Province of Madzaki: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# Province of Feni: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# Province of Imsu: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# Province of Ishimir: And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
## There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in [[75]] by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the [[Sisters of St. Regina]], which belonged to the [[New Catholic Faith]]. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging [[freighter]] was bought and named the ''Matthew.'' [[Low berth]]s were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small [[freighter]]s and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in [[73]] and reached Regina in [[75]].<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small [[starship]]s was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all Anglic-speaking humans of Solomani ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the New Catholic Church some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small freighters were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby low-tech world of Llaravi (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the Spinward Main developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company, LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a starport with repair facilities and a fuel purification plant in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

The [[4518th Lift Infantry Regiment]], the Duke of Regina's Own Huscarles- was founded with Imperial Marines. It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Province of Noncredo: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]].<br />
# Province of Madzaki: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# Province of Feni: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# Province of Imsu: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# Province of Ishimir: And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
## There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in 75 by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the Sisters of St. Regina, which belonged to the New Catholic Faith. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging freighter was bought and named the ''Matthew''. Low berths were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small freighters and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in 73 and reached Regina in 75.<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small starships was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all Anglic-speaking humans of Solomani ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the New Catholic Church some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small freighters were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby low-tech world of Llaravi (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the Spinward Main developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company, LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a starport with repair facilities and a fuel purification plant in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Province of Noncredo: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]]. # Province of Madzaki: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# Province of Feni: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# Province of Imsu: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# Province of Ishimir: And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
## There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in 75 by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the Sisters of St. Regina, which belonged to the New Catholic Faith. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging freighter was bought and named the ''Matthew''. Low berths were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small freighters and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in 73 and reached Regina in 75.<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small starships was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all Anglic-speaking humans of Solomani ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the New Catholic Church some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small freighters were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby low-tech world of Llaravi (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the Spinward Main developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company, LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a starport with repair facilities and a fuel purification plant in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Province of Noncredo: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]]. # Province of Madzaki: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# Province of Feni: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# Province of Imsu: 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
# There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in 75 by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the Sisters of St. Regina, which belonged to the New Catholic Faith. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging freighter was bought and named the ''Matthew''. Low berths were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small freighters and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in 73 and reached Regina in 75.<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small starships was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all Anglic-speaking humans of Solomani ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the New Catholic Church some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small freighters were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby low-tech world of Llaravi (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the Spinward Main developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company, LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a starport with repair facilities and a fuel purification plant in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Province of Noncredo: Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]]. # Province of Maddzaki: 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# Province of Feni: 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
# There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in 75 by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the Sisters of St. Regina, which belonged to the New Catholic Faith. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging freighter was bought and named the ''Matthew''. Low berths were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small freighters and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in 73 and reached Regina in 75.<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small starships was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all Anglic-speaking humans of Solomani ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the New Catholic Church some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small freighters were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby low-tech world of Llaravi (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the Spinward Main developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company, LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a starport with repair facilities and a fuel purification plant in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (...Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]]. # 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# Province of Ishkis: 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
# There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in 75 by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the Sisters of St. Regina, which belonged to the New Catholic Faith. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging freighter was bought and named the ''Matthew''. Low berths were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small freighters and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in 73 and reached Regina in 75.<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small starships was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all Anglic-speaking humans of Solomani ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the New Catholic Church some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small freighters were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby low-tech world of Llaravi (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the Spinward Main developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company, LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a starport with repair facilities and a fuel purification plant in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />

== History & Background / Dossier ==<br />
Settled in [[110]] by involuntary exiles from [[Jed (world)|Jed]] (2506 [[Corridor Sector|Corridor]]). The ill prepared settlers lost all technology and reverted to a primitive hunter-gatherer existence. Around the end of the 2nd Century, settlers from [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] moved into the empty south-eastern peninsula, and towards the end of the 3rd Century, settlers from [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]] began to move into the south-western part of the continent. These farmers eventually spread to cover the rest of the continent, except for the [[Imsan Autonomous Territory]], an area around the original Imsan settlement that was granted to the natives.<br />

==== World Government Dossier ====<br />
Homeworld of Archduke [[Norris]] and subsector capital, it is one of the most significant frontier worlds.<br />
<br />
Situated relatively near the border of the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and the [[Federation of Arden]], Regina has been the site chosen for an ongoing series of diplomatic talks aimed at improving the Domain's foreign relations.<br />
<br />
This subsector capital is an impersonal bureaucracy. The government has three branches of government of which the judicial branch is most prominent. The judiciary is several councils, the executive is an elite council, and the legislative branch is demos.<br />
<br />
With its law level of 9, and an impersonal bureaucratic court system, being arrested on Regina is unpleasant to say the least. Suspects are rounded up ''en masse'' when a crime has been committed, and it may be weeks after a trial has convicted one of them before the rest are finally cleared. Meanwhile, those arrested must report their whereabouts and activities to the police every two hours. Notwithstanding this inconvenience, trials are usually fair.<br />
<br />
The executive branch consists of four persons chosen by lot. Each year, four citizens are chosen at random to share the over-sight of the government's administration. Each has veto power over the other, providing a check against tyranny at the cost of inefficiency and no small degree of confusion. Once a citizen has served in this capacity, he is ineligible to serve again.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of Regina as a whole make the laws for the world. Specific laws are proposed by the judicial and executive branches, and weekly elections are held to confirm or reject these laws. A complicated computer network is used to conduct these elections, and while in theory every law on the books or newly proposed is voted on, in fact citizens vote only on those laws most important to them. Unfortunately, it is easier to pass a new law than to repeal one. All native-born Reginans are eligible to vote in these plebiscites, with no other restrictions. This means that immigrants never have any voice in the government, but newborn babes, criminals, and the insane do, as long as they have Regina birth certificates.<br />

The [[4518th Lift Infantry Regiment]], the Duke of Regina's Own Huscarles- was founded with Imperial Marines. It is still possible for personnel on active Imperial military duty to be temporarily detached for service with this regiment. This is usually a mechanism to provide the regiment with instructors that have current combat experience and training. The regiment has served the Imperium on various planets, in each of the Frontier Wars since its establishment.<br />

==== Social Data ====<br />
Administratively Regina is divided into six provinces, each governed by a [[hexarch]], that in turn are divided into districts called ''nomes'', each governed by a [[nomarch]] (Some of the nomes still retain the words 'district' or 'county' in their names, leftovers from earlier administrative schemes). Each of the continents plus surrounding islands constitute a province, except for [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]] and [[Queensland]] which together with various islands constitute the Province of Ishkis.<br />
<br />
Regina has six primary cities, [[Credo]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Princeps]], [[Corona]], [[Regni]], and [[Atora]]. It has 52 secondary cities with populations between 1.0 and 9.9 million. <br />
# Of these, 17 are located in [[Noncredo (Continent)|Noncredo]], among them [[Imarsh]], [[Marburg]], [[Walker Heights]], [[Shawhill]], and [[Gooston]]. # 7 are located in [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]], among them [[Ankukhur]], [[Pomona City]], [[Sopi]], [[Harum]], [[Khale]], [[Gigish]], and [[Bimbam]].<br />
# 9 are located in [[Feni]] in addition to the provincial capital of Kingsbury.<br />
# 7 are located in [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], including [[Craben]], [[St. Tirza]], [[Dorcaster]], [[Nah Zhal]], [[Coverley]], and [[Charlestown]]. <br />
# 4 are located in Queensland, including the provincial capital of [[Chesara]].<br />
# And 7 are located on smaller continents and islands, including [[Ashrumar]] and [[Inkhar]] in Ishkis and [[Khakhurak]] in [[Ishimir]]. <br />
# There are 85 tertiary cities with populations between 100,000 and 999,999.<br />
<br />
=== Historical Data ===<br />
[[Second Frontier War]]- Baron Caranda was left in control of Regina to cement its ties to the Imperium. Because of his services in the war, he was elevated to the rank of Marquis. In [[629]] he was also made duke of the newly created [[Duchy of Regina]].<br />
<br />
[[Fifth Frontier War]]- The declaration of war by the Zhodanis on the Imperium was simultaneously announced on Regina and Jewell. During that war the [[193rd Fleet (SM)|193rd Fleet]] defended Regina for the Imperium against the Zhodani 40th Fleet. Duke Norris, who had a prior background in naval intelligence, believed that the Imperial strategy was being badly managed and appealed to the emperor for command of the Spinward Marches forces. Although Strephon issued a communiqué appointing Norris commander in chief of those forces, the order was initially lost on an interdicted world. Norris succeeded in recovering the orders, and having taken charge of the Imperial forces, engineered the Zhodani defeat.<br />

==== The First Settlers ====<br />
Regina was first settled in 75 by an expedition from [[Aiere (world)|Aiere]] (1108 [[Core Sector|Core]]) financed by a religious order called the Sisters of St. Regina, which belonged to the New Catholic Faith. A wave of religious intolerance was sweeping Aiere at the time, and the order was one of the richest on the planet. Rather than wait for the government to strip them of their assets, the sisters elected to emigrate, taking with them a sizable number of devout lay people to support them in their new home. A large, aging freighter was bought and named the ''Matthew''. Low berths were installed, equipment was purchased and loaded. When it became clear that there were more volunteers than there was room for, the richest colonists clubbed together to buy three small freighters and named them ''Mark, Luke'', and ''John''. The expedition left Aiere in 73 and reached Regina in 75.<br />
<br />
The colonization of Regina followed the pattern typical of utopian settlements in the early days of the [[Third Imperium]] times in some ways, but not in others. Like other such groups, they sought a sanctuary far from outside interference and thus beyond outside succor in the event of problems, but thanks to the order's wealth, the expedition was exceptionally well equipped. The possession of three small starships was particularly unusual and eventually proved to be of pivotal importance.<br />
<br />
The first colonists numbered around 9,000. They were all Anglic-speaking humans of Solomani ancestry. They established a community around the ''Matthew'', which was turned into an [[Abbey of St. Matthews|abbey]] for the sisters, several kilometers upstream from the mouth of the [[New Tiber]], a major river on the largest continent. The colony itself was named [[Credo]].<br />
<br />
The colony originally had no constitution. The community was free to conduct its own affairs as long as it provided the upkeep of the abbey. The colonists elected a chief administrator with the title [[Mayor of Credo]] and a board of advisors to help him govern. The first mayor was Veron Choald Menetry, the younger daughter of a minor noble family on Aiere and part owner of the Luke. The Menetries had converted to the New Catholic Church some generations before. Veron Menetry established a practice of close consultation with the Abbey and other community leaders in her decision-making. Nevertheless, the pragmatic concerns of day-to-day living kept coming into conflict with the rigid code of conduct insisted on by the Abbess. <br />
<br />
The three small freighters were kept in repair and used for occasional trading ventures, first with the nearby low-tech world of Llaravi (Spinward Marches 1711, later called [[Extolay (world)|Extolay]]), then, as the surrounding worlds were settled, with [[Efate (world)|Efate]], [[Forboldn (world)|Forboldn]], [[Knorbes (world)|Knorbes]], and others. Each ship became the foundation of a business consortium named after it. As commerce along the Spinward Main developed, Regina's possession of repair and maintenance facilities for jump vessels led to increased contact with traders from the [[Mora Subsector|Mora]], [[Lunion Subsector|Lunion]], [[Sword Worlds Subsector|Sword Worlds]], and [[Darrian Subsector|Darrian]] subsectors to rimward, the [[Zhodani Consulate]] to spinward, and remote [[Vargr Extents|Vargr]] worlds to coreward. <br />
<br />
The well-equipped colony prospered. The agricultural output was enough to permit a large section of the population to concentrate on secondary and even tertiary occupations. In 98 the three business consortiums joined with a group of Moran businessmen to form the [[Llaravi Company, LIC]] and began exporting manufactured goods to Llaravi and getting fine textiles, exotic spices, delicate perfumes, and rare liqueurs in return. These were in turn sold to [[Mora (world)|Mora]] and high-tech goods and replacement parts bought with the proceeds. The company set up factors and warehouses in many of the princedoms and a starport with repair facilities and a fuel purification plant in the Kingdom<br />
of Ekhsthollae. With the aid of company troops and arms the king of Ekhsthollae began expanding his kingdom. Regina also colonized the adjacent [[Jenghe (world)|Jenghe]] system, but only to the extent of setting up mining outposts. As time went by, more people grew rich enough to buy second-hand starships from Imperial worlds in the [[Deneb Sector|Deneb]] sector and begin trading on their own.<br />
<br />
As is always the case, some people prospered more than others. The Menetry family did exceedingly well, and by the time Veron Menetry stepped down as Mayor, she was the head of the wealthiest and most admired family on Regina. The Menetries were to maintain their position as the "First Family of Regina" for many centuries. A disproportionately large number of mayors and high ecclesiastical figures were to come from the Menetry family.<br />
<br />
==== The Irreverence ====<br />
During the second half of the Imperial [[Pacification Campaigns]], Regina learned the problem with being successful and populous (and thus known by name to far-off Imperial officials) when, on four separate occasions -- in [[110]], in [[113]], in [[115]], and in [[118]] -- the Imperial Navy showed up with a load of involuntary exiles from one pacification campaign or another. In each case the original colonists refused to accept the newcomers, whereupon the IN unceremoniously deposited them on one of the other continents. The continents of [[Ishimir (Continent)|Ishimir]], [[Imsu (Continent)|Imsu]], [[Ishkis (Continent)|Ishkis]], and [[Madzaki (Continent)|Madzaki]] were all settled in this manner. Regina was far from the only world in the Marches to get involuntary exiles dumped on it, but it was the only one to get four loads.<br />
<br />
The newcomers sparked a heated controversy in Credo. Some wanted to conquer them, some wanted to convert them, some wanted to trade with them, and some wanted to ignore them. The debate brought to a head a smoldering resentment towards abbatial rule among the new generation that had taken over the<br />
running of the colony, and after a small "palace revolution" in [[119]], the [[Abbess of Regina|Abbess]] no longer had any say in the secular affairs of the colony, although she remained the leader of the Church on Regina as well as titular head of Regina. The original bone of contention, the settlements on the other continents, was forgotten and ignored for a while.<br />
<br />
One consequence of the government change was the creation of a constitutional committee charged with writing a constitution for Regina. The resulting [[Great Charter]], as it was called, drew heavily on the original constitution of the [[Sylean Federation]] and was adopted by popular vote in [[123]]. Among other things, the charter regularized the position of those settlers who had carved out landholds away from Credo and the people of the four new settlements (the latter groups without bothering to consult them or allowing them to vote). Resentment against the Church ran high and although the Great Charter recognized New Catholicism as the official state religion, ecclesiastical law, which had governed the Church's operations and relations with its members with full force of law since the establishment of the colony, was reduced under the charter to an option for the parties in any case involving the Church and its members, or between Church members ''inter se''. Moreover, a number of features of the ecclesiastical law, notably prohibitions against divorce, contraception, and abortion, were explicitly removed from Regina's secular law.<br />
<br />
The period from 119 to [[168]] is known as The Irreverent Era or just the [[Irreverence]]. The resentment against the Church was slow to abate, and when the continents were named by a government committee, the continent on which Credo was located was named [[Noncredo]] in deliberate mockery of the Church. However, with the Church's interference in secular matters removed, or at least greatly reduced, it gradually reasserted its spiritual hold on the population. In 168, Ezekiel Gordon, the newly-elected 12th Mayor of Credo, inaugurated a "Back to Piety" campaign to restore the power of the Church. Gordon was ousted from office in [[174]] over his establishment of the [[Pomona Cove]] Exile Colony, and the struggle see-sawed back and forth for the next four decades until an acceptable balance was struck and the population united in the face of a serious agricultural disaster called the [[Great Blight]] which devastated crops from [[205]] to [[210]].<br />
<br />
==== The Regina Defense League ====<br />
During the next hundred years, the worlds in the [[Regina Cluster]] grew and built up their industries. As they did, they became increasingly tempting targets for Vargr raids. Fortunately the closest Vargr worlds that could support corsairs were so far away that the cluster's worlds mostly remained less attractive targets than a number of Vargr worlds closer to the corsairs. Nevertheless, optimistic corsairs from time to time tried their luck. Consequently, the cluster's worlds banded together in [[189]] under the auspices of its most powerful world, Regina, to form a defense league.<br />
<br />
The wealth gained from trade and from the protectorate world of Llaravi allowed Regina to hire mercenaries to protect it and its trade planets from Vargr raids. League funds and ships were controlled by the Reginan government rather than the powerful Reginan merchant princes. The Llaravi Company was the only private enterprise that could afford its own patrol vessels, although all commercial traffic in the region at the time was heavily armed. Ties to Moran business interests that were developing at the time ensured occasional visits from Imperial patrols. In [[199]], Regina built its first jump-capable ship, a 400 T jump-1 patrol ship named the ''Paladin''. <br />
<br />
==== Church of Regina ====<br />
In [[208]] a group of die-hard religious fanatics sent a deputation to the Vice-pope of Aiere to ask him for help in reversing the increasing secularization of Regina's government. The Vice-pope sent a legate who arrived in [[212]] and tried to impose his authority over the Abbess, much to the general resentment of population and leadership alike. The result was that Regina broke with the New Catholic Faith in [[218]] and established a [[Church of Regina]] instead. Church tenets remained substantially unaltered but were now referred to as Corinian. <br />
<br />
==== The Kingdom of Regina ====<br />
In [[235]], the Imperium offered membership to all the settled worlds of the Regina Cluster. Ruie declined immediately, but the rest expressed interest and negotiations about details followed. The [[Duchy of Iilidu|Duke of Iilidu]] began extensive study of the worlds in advance of making a recommendation to the Emperor. Much lobbying and negotiation took place on all sides.<br />
<br />
A significant number of Reginans, mostly descendants of original families, favored remaining outside the Imperium, which would have resulted in continued complete independence, but no support in terms of defense and economic cooperation from the Imperium. This group formed a political party called Libertas, which was a minor player in the negotiations. All other parties involved felt that there was no real possibility that the Imperium would leave Regina alone in the long run. The question was really only how favorable membership conditions Regina could obtain.<br />
<br />
One difficulty was that the Imperium wanted Regina to give up its de facto rulership of Llaravi. The Imperium had a policy of discouraging multi-world member polities, though sometimes other considerations forced it to accept them. Such considerations did not apply here, so Regina had to agree to this. Eventually, Regina and the six other members of the Reginan Defense League all became full members of the Third Imperium in [[250]]. <br />
<br />
Regina's membership treaty followed the standard for such treaties. As with all member states, Regina was required to contribute to the upkeep of the Imperium and allow its citizens to serve in Imperial organizations, exempting all Imperial salaries and pensions from income tax. The contribution was based on the system's gross domestic product, and was made subject to review every 30 years.<br />
<br />
The Imperium received the normal rights to conduct foreign affairs and maintain military forces in the system. Regina retained local autonomy and jurisdiction over the entire triple star system. Regina was added to the local and Imperial defense networks. The Reginan Defense League's fleet was broken up. Some vessels were transferred to the Imperial Navy and the rest distributed to the former members in proportion to their erstwhile contribution to the league budget.<br />
<br />
Regina also agreed to sell a large island to Empress Porfiria who gave it in fief to the marquis she created for the world, the former Mayor of Credo, Raybon Iuda. <br />
<br />
Regina moreover relinquished control of its colony of Llaravi. That world, which had by then been united under the kings of Ekhstholae, became an Imperial member world in its own right under the name Extolay.<br />
<br />
Regina established a constitutional monarchy under the Menetry dynasty, with a subordinate level of local nobility, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. <br />
<br />
The first king was Isaac Menetry, family patriarch and CEO of the [[Luke Consortium]], who turned over control of the company to his son Branj when he assumed the crown. The Menetries solved the classic problem of long-lived kings and bored, idle crown princes by alternating positions. The most suitable child of the king would be CEO of Luke; his or her most suitable child would be the next monarch; his or her most suitable child would be the next CEO of Luke; and so on.<br />
<br />
The major landholders became nobles, either ''duci'' or ''baroni'' depending on the size of their estates. The baroni themselves were unofficial divided in two. Those who had acquired land under the Great Charter were called ''altibaroni'', and those who had acquired their lands between 123 and 250 were the ''novibaroni''. The families of the duci and baroni are often called the 'Old Colonials'. <br />
<br />
Civil liberties of citizens were protected. Private ownership of personal property, land, and means of production was expressly established, but ownership of the latter two was limited to citizens of Regina and corporations owned and controlled by citizens. Citizenship was based on being able to trace lineage to any colonist who had arrived prior to 001-0110, a provision that disenfranchised a large section of the population and caused a lingering resentment, especially among the provincial population. The undeveloped regions were placed into a trust administered by a quasi-autonomous agency subject to the orders and oversight of the Crown.<br />
<br />
The ground forces consisted of three infantry and one armored regiment in addition to the small, elite two-battalion Mayor's Guard. The forces were renamed the Royal Reginan Army and placed under the direct control of the king. Marquis Raybon called for volunteers from the Mayor's Guard to form his huscarles and the remainder became the new Royal Guard.<br />
<br />
==== The Golden Age ====<br />
The next 300 years are often looked upon as a golden age of Reginan Corinian culture. Regina grew in wealth and power in the cluster, art and literature flourished, the kings were just, the Church remained nearly universal, Imperial taxation was not onerous, and the Emperor was far away. Things were less tranquil in the provinces (as the other continents were known), but they didn't count.<br />
<br />
The Iuda family became rich beyond its expectations during this period, and came to exert considerable influence on the royal family. The Iudas also dominated the space defense sector of the economy, particularly after they built a shipyard capable of building and repairing large vessels. They also managed to acquire full title to a large, as yet sparsely populated, island west of Noncredo.<br />
<br />
The Iudas were zealously loyal to the Emperor and to the idea of the Imperium, and the marquesses appeared at the Moot more often than could be expected, given the great distance.<br />
<br />
==== Internal Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
Church and state meshed more or less seamlessly for the next several hundred years. The growing numbers of immigrants meant an increase in their influence, and Reginan society had long allowed the practice of different faiths, particularly in the major cities. The role of the Iudas in assuring the security of non-Corinians should not be underestimated. The Iuda family maintained close association with the Menetries, and often provided assistance and connections in interstellar affairs.<br />
<br />
The government at Credo had always claimed sovereignty of the entire world (as well as the rest of the system), but in practice it had mostly left the settlements on the other continents to their own devices. During the 4th Century, the government asserted its claim and sent governors out to administer all the settled continents. It took a number of limited military campaigns to get everyone to accept the idea, but by [[393]] Regina was truly a unified world.<br />
<br />
==== External Politics during the Golden Age ====<br />
In [[424]], following the publication of the First Survey, Emperor [[Martin III]] reorganized the Spinward Marches -- hitherto only one duchy ([[Duchy of Mora|Mora]]) plus a hodgepodge of counties and marquisates answering to different dukes in the Deneb sector -- and created two more duchies, Lunion, and Trin (in that order of seniority). The Regina Cluster was made a county answering to the Duke of Mora. Knorbes and Efate both became marquisates under the Count of Regina and Alell a barony under Efate. Uakye, Forboldn, and Hefry were not assigned any nobles (nor, of course, were the interdicted worlds of Whanga and Ruie).<br />
<br />
Emperor [[Jerome]] reorganized the Marches again in [[552]], creating three more duchies, [[Duchy of Rhylanor|Rhylanor]], [[Duchy of Glisten|Bellion]] (later Glisten), and [[Duchy of Vilis|Arden]] (later Vilis). Regina County became part of the Duchy of Rhylanor. Among the many lesser changes Jerome made was separating out the Regina system from the honors of the Count of Regina Cluster and assigning it to a minor follower of his, a certain Estelle [[Aledon family|hault-Aledon]], who became Baroness of Regina.<br />
