World Government

Weston has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

This situation came about because former governors led the world to stagnation. The populace were once subject to strict laws, with enforcement personnel, merchants, and civil servants forming elite cliques that enjoyed the benefits of imported technology. These ended up workinga cross-purposes and the system largely fell apart.
