==General Notes==
Yazirians from Yast favor capes.

==Terrain/Climate==
Some desert. Harsh environment. Most
ag on Exib, but 'new' plant in 'near desert' environs.

==Life==

==Native Species==
Sailsnail, Fire Dragons?

==History==
Discovered by Yazirians in 250 pf.

==Government==
Athenian Democracy. All permanent
residents of Yast vote in semi-annual elections. There are no
'politicians', instead every citizen serves a 2 year term depending
upon need of their skills, volunteering when convienent, and
random selection. Those who do well are paid well for their work.
Corruption in this system is balanced, as everyone plays a part in the
government eventually. Felons are of course removed from rotation
(or occasionally put where their skills are needed but they can do
little damage) and also pay a higher tax rate later.

==Law==
(CR 1-2) Most weapons are allowed because of the
harsh environment. Zamira dueling deaths and related injuries are
not uncommon, these honorable deaths are not pursued by the law
as long as they are registered properly. Weapons of mass
destruction are likely to cause attention of a somewhat autonomous
and not always trustworthy police force. Use of such in public
places is likely to be met with 'questions later'.

==Population==
Yazirian Moderate. Approximately 10% non-
Yazirian.

==Society/Culture==
The culture of Yast has been shaped
primarily by two things: the original break from the theocratic
government of Hentz and the harsh environment of Yast. Much of
the culture was constructed from 'heretical' beliefs from the past of
Hentz(and Waloo) and continues to react against Hentz. The
official language of the planet is Gnarsh. The enforced expression
of job and social rank on Hentz became a private matter on Yast. A
person's profession is intimate information, though not a matter of
shame. This has somewhat led to a double-life for those who work
in service and public relations industries and has led to a reliance on
robots or foreigners for many of these positions. The system of
government also serves to equalize the status of all individuals, as
opposed to an elitist hierarchy. This common ground is often the
topic of casual conversation. Despite these differences with the
society of Hentz, the Zamira and life-enemy are both held in high
regard.

The environment has also played a key role in the shaping of
the culture here. The harsh desert and little food led to Exib, and
now crop in near desert areas. refugees had a hard tough life dour
and grim folk even for Yaz

Eventually a Yazirian from Yast is going to push a high-
priest type from Hentz into a pool and cause a big stir.
