==='''Politics'''=== 

The island is governed by a two-chamber Overseeing Council. The two Chambers are the Body Politic and the Body Populous. The Body Populous elects its representative by district, and the most populous districts have two, so as not to overwork the Consul charged with overseeing it. The Body Populous is the larger of the two Chambers. The Body Politic consists of Consuls who are elected separately from the Populous ones, and are representatives of “Established and Respectable Parties”, there only being limited number of seats for each political party to campaign for. Originally a method by which the Visionaries could double the number of Consuls they controlled, over the years several new parties have met the requirements. While none of them have quite unseated the most powerful Futurist party, the Liberal and Nostalgia parties have gained great territory in the Body Politic, and the number of seats has been expanded twice.
