Greymere is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich world with a growing agro-economy, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This world has promising economic future although it needs to recruit a larger labor force in order to achieve the desired prosperity.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Rhamsteppe Subsector of Zarushagar Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• It is a part of The Link region of the Rimward Link.

The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership.
