History & Background (Dossier)
Nora'a is a rich, non-industrial, agricultural world located in the Nora'a Subsector of the Trojan Reach.
- The system is a member of the Florian League and contains both naval and military bases.

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 Government
Nora'a is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referendum, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.
As a part of the Florian League, councilors are chosen from among the Barnai populace by lottery.
Law
The government is supported by a standard bureaucracy, which also administers the Floriani legal system. This legal system is similar to Imperial law, with a judge (from the bureaucracy) and a jury of five. However, there are no set crimes and punishments: unlike in the Imperium, where one attempts to discover whether a specific crime was committed, the Floriani system tries to determine if what was done constitutes a crime; depending on context it might not be.
Languages
Population
9,000,000
Demographics
Nora'a's population is approximately 90% Floriani, 5% Solomani-stock from the Sindalian Empire, and 5% Glorious Empire Aslan. The Aslan were stranded when the Floriani conquered Nora'a and are considered enemies of the League.
The surviving Aslan are hiding in the deep jungles of the mainworld, attempting to avoid Floriani extermination squads.
Economy
The Florian currency is the tlientir.
The League imposes a moderate income tax on all citizens and resident non-citizens. This tax is supplemented by various fees paid to the government for services.
World Culture
The diminutive Barnai are the leaders and intellectuals; the hulking Feskals the labour. Feskals are obedient to Barnai.
Barnai live a life of leisure for their first 16 years. Schooling consists of directed personal study, with each student pursuing individual interests. Once a Barnai reaches maturity at the age of 20, they are expected to perform some sort of public service for a few years.
