Corulag

Corulag is a long-standing member-world of the Republic. The planet and its system are in the Corellian Sector. Its chief city and capital is the somewhat famous vertical city known as Weeshar.
==History==
The planet's origins extend back thousands of years along with its near neighbor Corellia. Long ago, Corulag was a client planet of Corellia, rich and powerful in its own way. The planet's leader was and remains known as the elector because he had a role in electing the Corellian viceroy due to Corulag's status.
But several thousand years ago a combination of stellar activity and a change in orbit left the planet's ecosystem radically changed. After several centuries, a semblance of order returned, leaving the planet largely a desert, which it remains to this day. Due to the changes that made it barely hospitable, Corulag became an insignificant backwater in the otherwise well-populated Core and its former glory largely forgotten.
==Government==
Corulag is an aristocratic republic. In this form of government, the people combine with the upper class to elect the planetary representatives and senator. However, the aristocrats have two advantages: first, their votes carry greater clout; second, only aristocrats may run for elector of Corulag or senator of Corulag; in all cases, an over-60% super-majority wins.
The aristocrats of Corulag make up a major council that advises the elector and drafts legislation for his approval. The current elector, Rylas D'hannen, has his seat in the capital of Weeshar.
