World Starport[edit]

Zhdizant 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

Zhdizant has a population of 500,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

  • The population consists primarily of Zhodani.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

  • Zdetl, the common language of the Zhodani Consulate.

World Technology Level[edit]

Zhdizant possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government[edit]

Zhdizant is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

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'.
