World Government

The colonies on this world were founded by a group of Intendants in the 730s, who wanted to leave the stressful life of the subsector administrative capital on Shtia’ial (Ziafrplians 1504). They agreed that all colonists must come strictly from the Intendant class. As such there no Prole families on Tlanshelen, and those Intendants who become Nobles don't exercise their status while on world. There has been talk of forming a world government, but this would be the very thing the founders wanted to leave behind.

World Government

The Zhodani Consulate maintains itself through a variety of taxes on goods and services. Each council -- planetary or higher -- has the authority to levy a tax on gross income to support services like hospitals, emergency and transport services, or the Tavrchedl'.

World Law

Three broad categories of crime are recognized by the Zhodani Consulate: inadvertent, incited, and insane. The concept of premeditated crime for personal gain fits under the insane heading.

• Inadvertent crime is an unintentional violation or infraction of the law, resulting from inattention. For minor cases the usual punishment is a small fine.
• Incited crime is an infraction of a law brought about by another, often resulting from an overreaction to inadvertent crime or misfortune. The solution is re-education.
• Insane crime is a general heading for most major crimes against property or individuals.

World Economy

The currency of the Zhodani Consulate is the Abradlnad.
