World Population (P)

- This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance.

- Other, population 5%
World Government (G)
Waverly has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
World Law Level (L)
This world has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

History-Era: Rebellion
A prime candidate for full depopulation within the next decade, Waverly is a planet in desperate straits. It is also known as Waxatha.
- Those few ships which do visit Waverly do not get swamped by desperate emigres as in other Doomed communities. Instead, the arrival of a ship is handled in a somber fashion. The local leaders politely request to purchase as many low passages as the ship can offer. They then conduct a lottery among the entire population to see who gets those berths. Any persons who attempt to stow away or otherwise attempt illegally to obtain passage are cast into Waverly’s lethal atmosphere, and the rest of the community is forced to watch, in order to teach adherence to the lottery.
- This grim approach is paying off. Those few captains who do pass through Waverly have come to respect its people and always try to come back for a few extra passengers, including a few whose tickets are "on the house."
