World Population (P)[edit]
World Demographics[edit]
Although 90% of the population is Human, Karelian is one of the most cosmopolitan societies in the Vanguard Reaches Sector. Its colonists came from many worlds of the Third Imperium and included more than a dozen minor races, from Bwap to Virushi. There are also Aslan granted land in return for past military aid.
World Government (G)[edit]
Karelian is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
Karelain has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
