We are a series of 12 monarchies united under one hereditary emperor. The tribal council is just tradition and generosity

The most common greeting here is a handshake. Because we don't act like barbarians just because the states doesn't tell us not to.

Strict gun control laws usually work here, due to the lack of unmarked firearms in the SuperCities (in places like the old-world USA, it would have been too late). Unfortunately, the black market has led to some illegal distribution within the underground sectors. SecuraBot sales are pretty high down there.

As opposed to magic users, we have psykers. Basically, leftover radiation causes some lucky bugger to develop psychic abilities, as opposed to radiation poisoning.
