Planetary Info

Nirasaki's original government structure was nearly unique in the Inner Sphere. Based on the idealist's belief that everyone could live in harmony without a dedicated police force or government, the original colony grouped itself into a series of small communes that were originally going to trade with each other. The problems in this system became clear shortly thereafter, as settlers forced to use a barter system limited economic opportunities with other worlds and infighting among settlers undermined group efforts.

Eventually a modest planetary government formed from a coalition of communes on the two largest continents. One of their best achievements was the implementation of a basic economy for the world based on "work credits" and a consistent means of valuing goods and services. The coalition government enjoyed strong support from the population as its power was so limited. Based on democratic ideas, the planetary government required only a simple majority for issues that affected interplanetary trade or a large planetary region. It also contained an emergency powers clause for defense against external threats. Besides those efforts and responsibilities, the coalition government had absolutely no power of any sort.[1]

This lax form of government kept the power in the hands of the people, and even under the Terran Hegemony the world was left to its own devices. Several companies attempted to take advantage of the perceived lack of central authority, but the Nirasakians' insisten on using the work credits system made it nearly impossible for these corporations to succeed. The only notable exception was Nirasaki Computer Collective, a company organized as a part of the existing Blue Heron Collective. Being familiar with the existing work credit economy and based on the world, NCC quickly gained a reputation for its high-quality computer products. NCC's work was so highly regarded that their programmers created the software used in the Star League's Space Defense Systems. Though the NCC and its programmers were killed during the Amaris Civil War the factories are now owned by Blue Heron Computers.[1]

After the fall of the Star League, Nirasaki was claimed by the Draconis Combine. After centuries of being exposed to the Dragon's idea of planetary government and administration, Nirasaki's central government has expanded its power somewhat, overseeing a planetary police force and a militia.[1]
