New Lisutu

Contestant

Tech +1 Environment -1 Resources +1

“Patriotic fervor”
“Men’s work, women’s work”
“Wealthy xenophobes”

A lovely moon of a superjovian, with plenty of every other resource at hand except real estate. A local history of environmental genetic diseases left Lisutu collectivized and regimented. Now collectivization has become militarization in the face of the perceived dangers of Outsiders. Society is highly segregated by sex, with men in military and most off-world jobs, women in business and administration groundside, although how a given field is gendered can be surprising. The specific threat of New Terranova is pushing some Basutu toward relations with Rhodes-Tufts, but anti-Outsider sentiment and the difficulty of human communication with Rhodians are strong barriers.
