Mien is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Nakris Confederation in the Ghost Rift Subsector of Beyond Sector.

World Government (G)

Mien is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world. The typical corporate run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

The corporate-owned settlement of Mien has traded its seat on the Grand Council of the Nakris Confederation to the Permanent Chair of Nakris (who now holds 12 of 18 seats) in exchange for monopoly rights to the system.
