Batlpat is a high-population, pre-rich garden world with a billion or more sophonts, and a near-ideal utopian environment conducive to most sophont life, but still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Zhodani Consulate in the Province of Iadr Nsobl, in the Dlazdiaz Shtiaklbo Subsector of Ziafrplians Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

This is an Unabsorbed World (equivalent to Amber Zone); claimed and governed by the Zhodani Consulate but not absorbed into the mainstream of Zhodani culture.

This world has introduced its own moral teaching distinct from the mainstream Consulate, the Fevranzhvlastavr or 'book of superior morality', based on revisions to the Fevranzhtavr. Its leaders proclaim the world to be following the Vlastiansh -- the superior path -- and the class distinctions between Noble, Intendant and Prole have been discarded.

World Starport

Batlpat has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

Batlpat has a population of 3,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Languages

• Zdetl

World Technology Level

Batlpat possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-2.

World Government

Batlpat is governed by a Religious Dictatorship. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy). There is a powerful independent organization, the state religion, which has influence or direct control of the government. Like the bureaucratic governments this may simply be a strong influence with a secular government, be direct influence by virtue of controlling who may be in the leadership, or be a direct theocracy where the church leadership and bureaucracy is 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'.

World Military

An Unabsorbed World is not usually permitted to maintain armed forces (other than police).

World Law (L)

Batlpat has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.

The world's brutal law level is used against its own; corrupt Guardians are publicly executed after being forced to confess their failings.

World Economy

The currency of the Zhodani Consulate is the Abradlnad.
