Devi is an agricultural, nonindustrial, garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts.

- Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to moderately rise in the near future.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Hesperia Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.
- This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.

The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

Devi has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas.
