History and Background

Mukirans are fierce democrats, with a wide variety of opinions and attitudes. As a result, every level of government is directly elected, consequently ineffective, and often corrupt. One common attitude amongst the electorate is the dislike of violence, to the point of inaction. Although the frequent elections make 'campaign fever' an everyday occurrence, political violence is unheard of.

Unscrupulous off-worlders have been known to use violence in taking advantage of Murkians, with the result that the average citizen is highly fearful of any direct dealings. The myriad of elected officials often see their duty as protecting voters, and any off-worlder will have to deal with numerous petty regulations.

World Starport (St)

Mukira has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

• A lack of consensus within the government has so far prevented the establishment of the extrality zone around the surface port. This discourages landings unless absolutely necessary. The orbital port has a large contingent of 'enabling agents' who deal with the locals on behalf of visitors, for a fee. Although not a legal requirement, falling foul of regulations can be time-consuming and expensive, so the agents are popular.
• The starport manager has managed to gain a consensus between several agencies and has managed construction of a high-capacity loading dock on the surface installation. Unfortunately, the vested interests of the enabling agents and the surface-to-orbit transport companies prevent too much cooperation for the use of the ground port.
