Sulawesi (1025 Canopus D6846A6-8): Originally
Indochinese, Sulawesi's inhabitants practice extensive agriculture on the
world's wide, fertile plains. Culturally isolated, its natives grouped
in small, rural villages, Sulawesi is ruled by a figurehead monarch, the
Grand Rajah. Traditionally, government has been the province of the village
headmen.
For decades, the world was content in its quiet prosperity,
but the Party has recently attempted to infiltrate itself into Sulawesian
life. A coup, arranged by SolSec
and various business interests, deposed the rightful Rajah and replaced
him with a Party lackey. Religious leaders and village headmen have denounced
the new Rajah, and the Confederation
has sent in pacification troops to bolster the new regime. -sta
