The official language is Mandarin and the capital is the planet Xīndàlù. It is the most totalitarian of the superstates, the citizens differ from robots only in that they are organic. Everyone is controlled by a surveillance system. You cannot make decisions on your own because the central computer does it for you. Every citizen's life is pre-planned from birth in an artificial womb until death. Only the ruler and his most faithful subjects have the right to property. People from outside the most developed planets live in the conditions of medieval peasants. The death rate from disease is often higher than from war, but the population continues to increase as everyone who has died is replaced by a new human or robot.
