History & Background (Dossier)

Shululsish is an important high-population world with one large moon, located in Alderamin Subsector of the Solomani Rim.

• The system is a member of the Imperium and contains a Way Station.
• Shululsish is the subsector capital.

Shululsish has a large ethnic Vilani and mixed Vilani-Solomani population but has abandoned all but the more superficial aspects of traditional Vilani society. The government is notable as a participatory democracy on a high population world.

• The government of Shululsish is a rarity: a participatory democracy on a high population world, made possible by high technology. Each of the world's 30 billion carries a terminal connected to the planetary computer; all eligible voters are polled regularly and important laws are enacted in this fashion. All executive officials are elected for one-month terms. This form of government places a heavy burden on the individual, and the average citizen spends an hour a day in government related activity, both voting and consulting computer net information services for the information needed to make a decision. This governmental system is made possible only because of the leisure time available to workers at this world's tech level; many citizens become government buffs, devoting most of their time to voting on issues and proposing new topics for discussion.
