World

Curuoskar

Notes, wip
pop < 500k (check w/ white)
nexus world stuff
anything inside Mes orbit comes with; anything outside stays behind
portals easy to form (magic or tech)
people easier to portal than cargo; small amounts easier to portal than large amounts (exponential power drain scale)
this is why ships even matter; can portals even lift bro?
planet tends to kidnap people for some reason
guardian spirits
more active the closer you are to Cloud Castle
some shit doesn't fly anywhere though:
war bad
orbital bombardment bad
WMDs bad
plagues (inc. STDs) bad
trying to be god of everything bad
basically don't change the world via ego/violence/stupid
not subtle; if spirits get involved, usually it's obvious
not nice; if spirits get involved, usually people stop existing

Chehon

Stats
west coast of largest continent north of equator
land mostly unpopulated; capitol is only major city
total pop < 200k
Government
aristocratic republic (oligarchy)
most law & regulation is contract law
regulations are expensive because they mean buying out existing contracts and redrafting them
true ownership of land (rather than stewardship) means you're basically a feudal lord as long as you pay taxes
your word is your bond
no, literally: if you violate a contract, you're unlikely to be able to get someone to sign another one without putting up money to a third party to be handed over if you break it (bonding authority)
no one cares if you lie, but if you sign something, not following through is going to cause you huge problems. think like a bad credit score, but with consequences like "literally must pay in physical cash" and "must pre-pay for power and heating"
contract penalty clauses can involve stuff like ass-beatings and enslavement
people don't bother with fine print because everybody reads it
