Story background
Oct. 8th, 2012 19:06Three intelligent, language-using species.
The first intelligent species had a Final War between competing nation-states. They left really, really permanent records.
Second intelligent species (which developed some millions of years later) learned from those records. Those who thought a universal state was the only safe alternative triumphed.
Their Final War was over control of the world state.
The three species which evolved after them decided the safest course was to try as many different types of government as possible.
Outside the human culture reservation, different branches of government occupy different areas.
Runagate's executive branch (which has only one permanent paid employee, known as "Gov") is centered in Runagate. The legislative branch is headquartered in Edge City. Judicial branch in Equitable Commerce. Philosophical and religious branch in Naglfahr Landing, aka Old Spaceport Museum.
