Government & Politics
The Yimin Jiti state is governed by the Yimi, a self-perpetuating order of psionic warriors and elders who protect and serve the citizens of the worlds they administer and ensure that age-old rulings, traditions, and wisdom are followed. Yimi is the Jitsathu word for Exile, and also the word for a wise elder.
The Yimi follow principles of tolerance, patience, understanding, and personal enlightenment. They are selected for their prowess whilst in childhood and are trained and educated in large Temple complexes by Elders. Those with physical prowess become warrior-savants charged with defending the worlds of Yimin Jiti, while those with intellectual aptitude administer the state and in turn become Elders.
Most member systems within Yimin Jiti have efficient civil service bureaucracies and the structure of the Yimin Jiti state is similarly bureaucratic. Leedos (2324 Halcyon) and Amoyang (2424 Halcyon) are exceptions to this; the former is is the domain of a self-perpetuating oligarchy, while the latter controlled by an impersonal buraucracy.
Capital:
Narit, a rich agricultural world.
The seat of government is the Onyx Citadel, located on the island continent of Jaralu, on Narit.
Head of State:
Sa Yimin (The One in Shadow)

Communities within the Yimin Jiti state are built around plazas and parks and are centered on Yimi Temples, sprawling complexes that also serve as markets, schools, courts of law, and hospitals.
