Description
Isiria
Isiria. Home of the free and land of the financially fortunate. This nation is comprised of several populated star systems within the Aurora nebula - though equality is a word that failed toke root in their vision of unification and prosperity. Isiria suffers a large class division between the wealthier citizens that make their home on the central planets - and those frequently scraping a living of drudgery and labor on the outer planets.
The central planets of Isiria are characterized by sprawling cities, flickering lights, low crime rate, advanced medical care, and pristine lakes devoid of pollution. It all comes with a price though, and for those who can't pay it there is the Kreios system.
Largely frontier land, civilization on the outer planets is frequently hard and devoid of the proper medical care and law enforcement. Though that is not to say that life on the outer planets is unbearable for everyone. For many it is far more favorable to live without the comforts of the central planets so they can live free of the scrutiny and control of the government.
Further adding to the division of the Isirian people are heavy regulations on weaponry. With much of advanced Isirian technological developments restricted to the hands of the government and military, the outer planets are out-gunned and out-supplied. Potential uprisings are largely stemmed before they can even begin.
Since the Isirian Government surrendered to the Aschen Empire. It is now subject to the Aschen Domain, and enjoys the privileges of being a protectorate of the Aschen Empire. Aschen watchtowers have been established in each of the Isirian systems to ensure the continued 'peace and prosperity' of Isirian and Aschen relations, also known as exploitation and subjugation.

Commonly Encountered Laws
Language: English is the national language of Isiria, but many other languages are predominant across various regions and planets within Isiria.
Firearm Regulations: Regulations vary by planet. Most central planets require a permit to own or carry a gun, and firearms must be registered through a local law enforcement agency. Almost all central planets bar the carrying of firearms openly in public except when required by work - as with law enforcement agencies. Carrying of concealed handguns in public is permitted via a permit.
Possession of automatic weapons by civilians is illegal on all planets with the exception of ship mounted automatic weapons for defensive use. Plasma, laser, and other energy based weapons are also prohibited in the hands of civilians.
Outer planets frequently lack regulations on carrying or owning firearms and frequently fail to enforce federal regulations on firearm restrictions.
Non-firearm Weapons: Deadly weapons that don't fall under firearms are prohibited from being carried openly in public. This includes but is not limited to many archaic styles of weaponry sometimes purchased for collectors reasons such as swords. Non-lethal weapons such as pepper spray, tasers, and stun guns are legal to be carried in public.
Psionics/Metaphysics: As per agreement with the Aschen Empire, all psionics and mutants are to be arrested on sight and handed over to the nearest Aschen garrison.
Air/Space traffic: All ships going planet side on an Isirian planet are required to surrender administrative control of their vessels before landing. This allows for a remote shutdown of the ships systems, and to maintain a landlock in the event that the ship needs to be detained from departure. This policy is only loosely enforced on the outer planets.
Bounty Hunters: Legal, but must be licensed. Frowned upon in the central planets, but popular in the outer planets where there is less of a military or law enforcement presence to fall back on.
