The citizens of the Underlanker Empire are nearly all more conservative than modern-day American conservatives. We have a monarchial world government that has had only one change of dynasty in 10,016 years. Our leader, Arnold Vinick I of the Vinick dynasty, has replaced the older Underlan rulers who gave the Empire it's name. The Emperor serves as head over (some say illegitimate) nations such as the Algastronic Empire, the Kingdom of Lavterion, and the semi-sovereign Superhuman Crew. There is no Earthworld empire that accurately matches our world's way of ruling itself, and the closest I can think of is a cross between Hohenzollern Germany, Habsburg Austria under Franz Josef, and the old Roman Empire. Having lived under a mostly stable world government that has been uniformly antagonistic to change and ideals of democracy, the more Underlanker members of the Crew find themselves uniformly amazed at how the USA has been able to function as any kind of democracy. The most liberal members of the Crew are constantly harassed by the people who spend more time in classic Bizjarra (the name of the planet on which the Empire is based). Sorry if this is too long.

We've had correspondence from people who spent some time in WeRMany and a few other places, who were banned or got warnings for saying "we" about themselves, for speaking of other people in the system as persons -- you were supposed to present yourself as a single person with parts or alters -- a host-alters setup, whether that was true to your experience or not. Somebody talked about a couple in their group getting married and were told "That can't happen, dear. It's just a fantasy." Was the place you went like that?
