Zhang is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.

World Government
Zhang is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.
The current planetary governor is Catherine Zhang, 3rd of her line from the founder, Jonathan Zhang. Though part of a family dynasty, Catherine Zhang nonetheless is widely revered for her intelligence, education, and general good judgement; attributes that are a hallmark of her family line.
The governor rules primarily by choosing who to appoint to important positions. The Zhangs are respected for their ability to accurately assess potential candidates for positions. As a result, the government runs very efficiently and agilely.
World Law Level
Zhang has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
World Military
A professional military force of 10,000 soldiers is available for handling emergencies of all stripes.

Large and small scale agriculture is the basis for the economy, with much of the bioengineered crops being imported from Ivraie.
