Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Government[edit]
Merro is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.
- This world practices a continuous direct democracy aided by electronic vote tallies. These votes aren't winner-takes-all but involve ranking several options, with successive rounds of voting narrowing the field to choices with the most support and smallest resistance. When objection to the most popular choice remains in any way significant, a new vote with a compromise solution is often conducted.
- Any action undertaken by the Altarean Confederation requires the unanimous consent of all nine members of its governing Council and ratification by governments of the nine represented worlds, of which Merro is one.
