==General Notes==<br />
Yazirians from Yast favor capes.<br />
<br />
==Terrain/Climate==<br />
Some desert. Harsh environment. Most<br />
ag on Exib, but 'new' plant in 'near desert' environs.<br />
<br />
==Life==<br />

==Native Species==<br />
Sailsnail, Fire Dragons?<br />

==History==<br />
Discovered by Yazirians in 250 pf.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
Athenian Democracy. All permanent<br />
residents of Yast vote in semi-annual elections. There are no<br />
'politicians', instead every citizen serves a 2 year term depending<br />
upon need of their skills, volunteering when convienent, and<br />
random selection. Those who do well are paid well for their work.<br />
Corruption in this system is balanced, as everyone plays a part in the<br />
government eventually. Felons are of course removed from rotation<br />
(or occasionally put where their skills are needed but they can do<br />
little damage) and also pay a higher tax rate later.<br />
<br />
==Law==<br />
(CR 1-2) Most weapons are allowed because of the<br />
harsh environment. Zamira dueling deaths and related injuries are<br />
not uncommon, these honorable deaths are not pursued by the law<br />
as long as they are registered properly. Weapons of mass<br />
destruction are likely to cause attention of a somewhat autonomous<br />
and not always trustworthy police force. Use of such in public<br />
places is likely to be met with 'questions later'.<br />
<br />
==Population==<br />
Yazirian Moderate. Approximately 10% non-<br />
Yazirian.<br />
<br />
==Society/Culture==<br />
The culture of Yast has been shaped<br />
primarily by two things: the original break from the theocratic<br />
government of Hentz and the harsh environment of Yast. Much of<br />
the culture was constructed from 'heretical' beliefs from the past of<br />
Hentz(and Waloo) and continues to react against Hentz. The<br />
official language of the planet is Gnarsh. The enforced expression<br />
of job and social rank on Hentz became a private matter on Yast. A<br />
person's profession is intimate information, though not a matter of<br />
shame. This has somewhat led to a double-life for those who work<br />
in service and public relations industries and has led to a reliance on<br />
robots or foreigners for many of these positions. The system of<br />
government also serves to equalize the status of all individuals, as<br />
opposed to an elitist hierarchy. This common ground is often the<br />
topic of casual conversation. Despite these differences with the<br />
society of Hentz, the Zamira and life-enemy are both held in high<br />
regard.<br />
<br />
The environment has also played a key role in the shaping of<br />
the culture here. The harsh desert and little food led to Exib, and<br />
now crop in near desert areas. refugees had a hard tough life dour<br />
and grim folk even for Yaz <br />
<br />
Eventually a Yazirian from Yast is going to push a high-<br />
priest type from Hentz into a pool and cause a big stir.</div>Terl obar
