===A Moresnet Gazetteer===

32 million people, breathable atmosphere, hybrid biosphere, temperate-to-warm climate, TL4. Relatively isolated from the wider sector due to metadimensional "bad weather."

*Picture humid air, three moons in the sky, rocky coastlines and volcanic islands, jungles dense with hybrid ecosystems and nonhuman others, pastel-colored settlements connected by silent maglev train, cloaked sages meeting with hard-hatted technicians in a rural factory courtyard, revelers holding fans and colorful glass cups to feel the bass-heavy music at a festival, teens in padded armor practicing stick fighting under their teacher's eye, and megalithic pretech installations looming on the horizon.
*The common language is Wika, which grew from Filipino Sign Language, and many other signed and oral languages are used at the community level. It is considered polite to sign or use text in public settings, out of consideration for language variation and widespread deafness. Filipino names are typical.
*Moresnet has no central government. Communes and convocations representing dozens to hundred-thousands of people are a vehicle for collective decision making, resource management, and mutual aid. Trade syndicates emerge from individual factories and workshops, regional communes from villages and settlements, city assemblies from neighborhoods, and so on into the night. Conflict between communes is usually resolved without serious violence. The communal system has been widely established on the planet for about two centuries, after several governments of varying levels of tyranny were dismantled.
*Magic and psionics are widely-known (with misconceptions: like ska musicians, or mayors), and it’s not difficult to find training by joining the appropriate commune-school. Like deafness, MES is generally seen as a different way of experiencing the world, not a mysterious gift or curse. Individuals have a right to their own magic, but like other valuable skills, there is a strong sense of community obligation. In bygone days, magicians were associated with martial rebels and tyrants, but the modern stereotype is of a performer or creative type. Psychics have consistently been seen as disciplined community workers: telepathy, healing, and disaster preparedness for example.
*Jungles, river caves, and the hidden corners of cities have hosted magical beings called Shadows (and sometimes their mortal followers) since the time of the Weave. Not all Shadows are malevolent, but they usually aren’t part of public life. Some communes and individuals have long-established patron or guardian Shadows, or other ritualized relationships. Others ask strong fighters and canny magicians to clear out the cruel spirits that bedevil them.
