Native Lifeform: Lowalaa Bird

The Lowalaa bird, a species native to Ituxi -- also known as Barneby -- was transported to Anaxias during the First Imperium to control the local equivalent of insects.

• Its ability to adapt to the new environment was underestimated, however, and the population rapidly exceeded that of its original homeworld.
• It is now the most common aviform on Anaxias, where it is popularly known as the Flying Grace.

History & Background (Dossier)

The high-population Anaxian society has several different political factions. Divisions include issues such as the world's gravitic cities and whether they are the cause of the steady decline in quality of life within the overpopulated city structures on the surface. A prevalent anti-cyborg movement also causes strife for the large population of citizens with artificial replacements.

Imperial High & Landed Nobility

Anaxias, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdoms of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial subsector duke, who also conducts affairs regarding the entire subsector at the Interstellar and Imperial level.

World Government

World Government (G)

Anaxias is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes 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. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

• Anaxian government is broken into two branches -- the powerful Republican Congress of the People, which is a collection of several councils, and the less powerful Executive Office of the Marquis of Anaxias. The two have operated with relative harmony for several generations.

Anaxias has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction.
