World Government

Baotchij is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of 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'.

World Law

Three broad categories of crime are recognized by the 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 Culture

The Zhodani Consulate promotes the belief system of Tavrziansh, Morality's Path.

Later Eras

Virus Era: 1130s

The estranged people of Baotchij suffered minimally since their computing power was minimal and easily destroyed by the populace. PADs were immediately erected to defend the aerospace above the mainworld, though repeated orbital bombings from Virus-taken Chiadrshedepr (Knoellighz 0228) tested their defenses.

Empress Wave: 1144

Baotchij Government was replaced by a Prole Charismatic Dictator when the psionic Nobles and Intendants were either driven mad by the Empress Wave or made their escape in exodus before the oncoming phenomenon.
