Mighty

Summary
Mighty is a small jungle world with numerous temperate beaches, making it an ideal vacation destination. It is the home planet of the Ch'tel Harook.

Joining the Federation
Mighty joined the federation in 2870 in hopes of finding new adventures to undertake and new achievements to conquer. The desire of Ch'tel Harook males to seek glory from internal conflict was shifted to a desire to find glory off world. Their labor has been invaluable to the expansion of the Federation, particularly as mercenaries, explorers, and construction workers.

Beyond providing cost effective labor, Mighty does not participate much in the Federation economy, preferring self-sufficiency. Interplanetary trade is mostly limited to the export of meats and the the occasional import of siege weapons, though Mighty has not been involved in large scale ground conflict in decades.

Climate
Mighty's cities are built on tropical coastlines. With three moons, the state of the nearby beaches is largely dependent on their relative positions. When the moons are in opposition, the beaches are calm resort locations. At other times, the dangerous waves are a regular occurrence. During these times, the beaches are abandoned and the locals retreat behind tide barriers.

Mountains separate dense jungles from the major population centers. Lesser gravity makes a hike or mountain climb a refreshing way to spend a visit. Visitors are discouraged from venturing deep into the jungles, however, as the local creatures are highly dangerous.

Politics
Mighty is under the authoritarian rule of their Arch-matron, who is selected by the lesser world leaders among their own ranks whenever the old Arch-matron dies or retires. Their is little policy change between administrations and no democratic system so the locals are not well acquainted with or interested in the affairs of the state. The primary responsibility of the state is to ensure all its citizens are fed and housed, which is accomplished with a universal basic income paid for with a progressive income tax.

Diplomatic relations with other planets are kept at arm's length. Neither cooperation nor conquest interest them. They are unthreatened by the idea of invasion, owed to the fact that they know they would be hellish to war with, even if the invader were winning. Whenever the state needs to trade with other planets, they do so using funds and materials donated by the males returning home from their journeys.
