World Government

Kawatas is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

This world's culture is also overseen by the Grand Council of Crèches, or Atapas-atta-wapawab. Most Imperial authorities view the Atapas-atta-wapawab more as an administrative department within Bwap culture than an actual political entity, and so haven't acted against its influence. Some Imperial political scientists feel that the Grand Council's influence makes Government Code D: Religious Dictatorship more appropriate. If so, it's a dictatorship with full public support.

World Culture

Bwaps organise themselves into crèches. The crèche is where Bwaps will select a mate, where the eggs will be guarded and tended to, and where the young will be educated by the Satha-a-atta-wapawab (Elders of the Creche). The crèche is also the center of Bwap spirituality, and the focus point of study of the Wapawab (Tree of Life).
