History & Background (Dossier)

Depending on the nature of the world's government and culture, the infrastructure may be entirely state-controlled, it may be regulated and policed by the government but otherwise commercially operated, or it may be entirely market-driven with little governmental oversight.

  • It is common for the local government to retain control of certain key aspects of the local infrastructure.
