Urbanization

Syrna is famous for its garden cities, each built on the surface of a lake and consisting of thousands of beautiful houses, pyramids, and towers covered in frescoes, flowers, and vines growing from the many tiers and balconies. Each settlement is surrounded by water and floating gardens. Thousands of species of flowering plants have been bio-modified to thrive in the local climate.

• The greatest of the cities is Nahltenochtitlan, considered the cultural capital of both Syrna and of the Amec Trade Protectorate. Once a decade the city hosts the Chapultepec Arts Festival, attracting people from across the subsector.

World Government (G)

Syrna is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will have better rules of succession and may last longer or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.

World Law (L)

Syrna has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A world with this law level may be an Amber Zone or a Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. Travel documents are frequently checked. There is no legal concept of privacy (save for those who can claim necessity for official government business). The police are free to inspect anyone and anything at any time.

• Public drunkenness, except on festival days, is punishable by death.
• The wise men known as Tlamatinime act as both lawyer (there are no actual lawyers in Amec Protectorate space) and judge.

World Economy

Currency is the Quetzal.

Each planet within the Amec Protectorate must pay the Tlatoani a tribute (originally it was a proper tithe of 10% of overall production but over the years it increased to 12%).

• The local bureaucracy retains 6% while the other 6% is sold under the AzTec label to help maintain the court and pay for the Amec Navy.
