Neubayern is a high-population, pre-rich world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.
- It lacks adequate resources to expand its economy to a rich status.
- Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Old Islands Subsector of Reft Sector.
- This world has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
- This world has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.
Astrography and Planetology[edit]

Mainworld Data[edit]
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Neubayern is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Neubayern has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Neubayern has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History and Background[edit]
One of the original three worlds settled in the Islands Cluster, Neubayern remained on the fringes of development until jump drives became available. Thereafter, it has joined in the competition for its share of the Cluster. Neubayern is governed by a charismatic oligarchy, and has one colony at Schlesien Belt (Reft 1923). [2]
World Starport[edit]
Neubayern has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
- There is an associated Naval Base.
Urbanization[edit]
The settlement pattern on Neubayern is fairly typical, with several very large cities forming a central region around the site of the original landings, and smaller cities scattered across the globe. Cities are subdivided into communities with their own leaders, who answer to the city government -- which in turn sends representatives to the world government at the capital.
World Languages[edit]
World Technology Level[edit]
Neubayern possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
- Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-3.
World Government[edit]
Neubayern is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.
World Law Level[edit]
Neubayern has a large body of law, and enforcement is surprisingly harsh. Those that reject the society which upholds their legal rights -- for example by becoming a career criminal -- are considered to have also rejected most of their rights. The state is not deliberately cruel to criminals, but arrest procedures are vigorous.
World Military[edit]
Neubayern has a small standing military, primarily equipped for orbital and aerospace defence. Its forces deploy a large number of ground-based interceptors and strike aircraft, backed up by dual-role aerospace fighters carried aboard orbital forts. Cities on Neubayern each have a small military garrison which operates under the same command structure as the paramilitary police, fire, and ambulance services. Army units are trained to carry out auxiliary civil-defence and rescue work in peacetime, and at need the other services become part of the military defences.
World Economy[edit]
No information yet available.
Trade Data[edit]
Neubayern's main trading partners are Sansterre and New Home. Accusations have been made in various quarters that Neubayern's trade ships spend more time on intelligence-gathering operations than commercial activity.
There has been some talk of setting up a chain of deep-space refuelling points to link Neubayern to R'Bak, but thus far this has come to nothing.
World Culture[edit]
One major cultural facet is a deep mistrust -- almost a collective phobia -- of any form of extremism. Ironically, this has led to strict laws against extremism. Other laws, equally strict, enforce a number of social freedoms and punish those that deny them to others. Outsiders are puzzled by this apparent contradiction, but the citizens of Neubayern simply take this as proof that they have achieved a high degree of social development.
