The System

The System was a method of governance described as voluntary tyranny, emerging on an obscure planet during an obscure period of history. Only five percent of those who ever experienced it didn't loathe it, but those five percent ended up populating the Loftarn District in the City of the Saved. Since anyone is free to leave at any time, nobody actually ends up doing so, even though the form of governance is horribly oppressive. (PROSE: Of the City of the Saved...)
