Jump map from Travellermap.com

Zuramid is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Rimward Federation in the Demon's Eye Subsector of Far Home Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

Mainworld Data

(IV) Zuramid

(IV) Zuramid is designated the mainworld. It orbits [primary] at a mean distance of 1.04 AU (155.6 million km), within the H– region of the inner system. It has an orbital period of 345 days 16 hours and a rotation period of 17.5 hours. The axial tilt is 25 degrees. Zuramid has a diameter of 13,244 km, a density of 6.16 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 1.16 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Dense, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 3.18 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen (N₂), 20% oxygen (O₂), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the extremely high atmospheric pressure, which can result in nitrogen narcosis and oxygen toxicity. Approximately 99.7% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.75m. Mean surface temperature: 4°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems driven by the star and the oceans surge across the globe. The climate is seasonal.

Satellite

Zuramid retains a single natural satellite, a hot very thin atmosphere worldlet called Darnation:

(IVa) Darnation (UWP H520000-0, orbiting at 25 Diameters/320,000 km)

Geography and Topography

Total surface area: 551 million km², Water surface area: 549.5 million km², Land surface area: 1.5 million km².

Native Lifeforms

Zuramid has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

Zuramid possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
  • Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
  • Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
  • Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.

World government

Zuramid 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.
