World Government (G)[edit]

Zzapiirniff is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

World Culture (Cx)[edit]

To the mainstream Ithklur culture, the highest goal of any individual is awareness of one's true nature. That nature, being truth, has inherent integrity and is incorruptible. The Ithklur belief in a supreme power, called "the ultimate concern", does not follow patterns of ritualized worship. To live in the present moment, for there may never be another, is a key virtue.

  • All Ithklur are considered to be a member of one of two groups: the elementary (Brunnen) or the enlightened (D*vakken). The latter have discovered their true nature and have taken on greater responsibility as a result.
