Re: Unofficial Civilizations

Alarishi Empire: star system with no habitable planets.  Asteroid
habitats
around a bright (B or A) star.	You may start your own culture by
claiming
a rock and defining your rules; the Imperium doesn't care (and will not
bail you out if your rules don't work.	Social Darwinism at its finest).

Imperial Citizens can be tried by Imperial law instead of local law, if
they wish; and there can be no barriers to emigration. Aside from that,
anything goes.	Cultures include the Knights Templar, the Commune, the
Physics Lab, Lesbos, Mike's Harem, and others.	The Emperor is in charge
of
a) international affairs including defense; and b) protecting those who
pay
for Imperial citizenship instead of just local citizenship.
