Aradiadash is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial, moderate population vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions, with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in population size.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Province of Jadlapriants, part of the Zhodani Consulate located in the Ordiapr Subsector of Tienspevnekr Sector.

• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• There is an associated Zhodani Base, combining functions of a Naval Base and a Military Base.

World Government

Aradiadash is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

The Zhodani Consulate maintains itself through a variety of taxes on goods and services. Each council -- planetary or higher -- has the authority to levy a tax on gross income to support services like hospitals, emergency and transport services, or the Tavrchedl'. In this case, the subsector council would be the relevant authority.

World Law (L)

Aradiadash has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Three broad categories of crime are recognized by the wider Zhodani Consulate: inadvertent, incited, and insane. The concept of premeditated crime for personal gain fits under the insane heading.

• Inadvertent crime is an unintentional violation or infraction of the law, resulting from inattention. For minor cases the usual punishment is a small fine.
• Incited crime is an infraction of a law brought about by another, often resulting from an overreaction to inadvertent crime or misfortune. The solution is re-education.
• Insane crime is a general heading for most major crimes against property or individuals.

World Economy

The currency of the Zhodani Consulate is the Abradlnad.
