'''Emigration''' from Illuminatia is not yet considered to be practical largely due to a lack of existing extraterrestrial human-settled worlds available for Illuminatian persons to out-migrate to. This is compounded by a lack of communication with or capacity for return travel to Earth, where the Illuminatian branch of humanity originated.

Notwithstanding these practicalities, the desire to leave Illuminatia for greener pastures is generally not easily conceivable to those who live in Illuminatia due to a general societal perception of the Illuminatian branch of human civilization as representing a sort of utopia that exists on an improved and elevated conceptual plane relative to what is remembered from [[Archaeomodern historical era|Earthly]] civilization. This makes outward migration from Illuminatia to Earth a highly unlikely choice for residents there.

Meanwhile, all land masses on the [[Neonisi]] planet are considered to exist under the umbrella of Illuminatia and its governmental and cultural structures, so as such, [[Human migration in Illuminatia|migration]] of populations from one part of Illuminatia or Neonisi as a whole to another location on this world is not considered to constitute immigration, as such migration results in a net-zero increase for the Illuminatian branch of humanity.

Despite this, policy relating to [[Population regulation in Illuminatia|population management]] in Illuminatia—as informed by the Lucidus mission [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|guidelines]] for extraterrestrial habitation—allows for people to freely emigrate from Illuminatia if they choose to, once practical means for doing so are established. Governmental policy is in development to allow for this out-migration in an organized, humane fashion, with structures planned to allow any emigration to occur sustainably and without any detrimental impacts on Illuminatia’s culture or economy.

'''Immigration''' to Illuminatia is presently not thought to be possible due to a lack of communication with Earth or any other human-settled worlds, an understanding that there is likely no other known human-inhabited worlds other than Earth and [[Neonisi]], and a current understanding that all [[Lucidus mission]] landings on the Neonisi planet have been accounted for.

In-migration to Illuminatia and the Neonisi planet has not occurred since the original [[Lucidus termination event|landings]] of the Lucidus mission and subsequent [[Settlement of Illuminatia|settlement]] of Illuminatia. [[Human migration in Illuminatia|Migration]] of populations from one part of Illuminatia to another is not considered to constitute immigration, as such migration results in a net-zero increase in population in Illuminatia as well as the Neonisi planet as a whole.

While it is currently theorized that inward migration into Illuminatia is not immediately possible due to an apparent lack of capacity for outside human civilizations—whether they exist or not—to communicate with much less detect and find the Illuminatian civilization, Illuminatian [[Government of Illuminatia|government]] has nonetheless established a set of protocols and guidelines for welcoming new human populations to Illuminatia in an orderly and humane fashion, which is very much contrary to immigration policies of most governments of Earth’s [[archaeomodern historical era]]. Policy relating to [[Population regulation in Illuminatia|population management]] in Illuminatia—as informed by the Lucidus mission [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|guidelines]] for extraterrestrial habitation—expressly encourages the incorporation of subsequent human space-bound voyages into the Illuminatian branch of humanity if they express interest and consent in such joining of populations, if and when such exploration takes place, and the [[Bureau of Reproduction and Copulation]] (BRC), with its mandate to oversee demographics management in Illuminatia, maintains policy readiness and actively advances policy discernment regarding theorized potential immigration in the future.

Criticism of the government in Illuminatia

[[File:Thumbs_Up_Illustration.png|225px|frameless|thumb|right|]]
'''Criticism''' and other forms of reproving assessment and critique of the [[Government of Illuminatia|government]] and its policies is strongly accepted, encouraged, enjoyed, and appreciated in culture and public dialogue in Illuminatia, with ample outlets available for citizens of various stripes to express dissatisfaction of and contempt for elements of public policy.

[[Freedom of speech in Illuminatia|Freedom of speech]] is integral to Illuminatia civilization and protected by assertions of human rights within the Illuminatian system of governance, and criticism of the government is frequently utilized as a convenient way to exercise the muscle of communicating about matters of public importance. Those who regularly criticize elements of the government are considered better-prepared to engage in productive discussion about issues of sociocultural significance in general.

[[Mass media of Illuminatia|Publications]] and [[Broadcasting in Illuminatia|broadcasts]] devoted to lampooning the government and its decision-makers exist and find broad popularity among Illuminatian audiences. There are [[Wireless broadcasting in Illuminatia|wireless]] and [[Telekinephotocasting in Illuminatia|telekinephotocast]] broadcast networks dedicated exclusively to the viewpoint of the opposition to the majority coalition in government, and people on all sides of the political divisions listen to the viewpoints of these outlets to monitor the winds of public opinion. All broadcasters in Illuminatia as a condition of licensure are required to set aside at least a minimum of space for public access contributions from citizens for the purpose of expressing their opinions about public policy and governance. Any given geographical market is served by more than one [[Newspaper publishing in Illuminatia|newspaper]] which allows a breadth of viewpoints to be available for Illuminatians to hear.

The Illumination government maintains robust organizational infrastructure for allowing for effective communication of dissent and opposition from the citizenry, and this framework is not limited to the direct media work of the [[Department of Public Service Media Investment]] (DPSMI). The [[Department of Ombudspersonship]] (DOO) is a governmental unit in part committed to hearing feedback from citizens of the type that might be likely to convey criticism directly to the government, which the government takes up as its duty to hear and respond to. The [[Department of Public Information]] (DPI) as part of its public communications remit is also tasked with responding to citizen complaints and issuing apologies via the [[Office of Confidential Apologies]] (OCA) as necessary.

'''Population density''' is highly encouraged in Illuminatia. Policy-makers and planners overseeing Illuminatia's settlement patterns understand that development of the built populated environment will be much more successful and sustainable if is maintained at a target density and is regulated in an intentional, structured, and strictly-regulated process. Illuminatian city and urban [[Civic and urban planning in Illuminatia|planning]] policy encourages highly-standardized, intentional, efficient, well-regulated development promoting community integrity and sociocultural strength.

Inefficient diffusion of population is kept at a minimum in Illuminatia to avoid problems that can arise from the inadequate or overly-costly investment that would be likely for rural communities. All new development must be established above a threshold at which social cohesion is high enough and economic friction is low enough for successful urban development.

Illuminatia is largely a civilization of cities as the urban style of development is considered to be more environmentally-responsible and less resource-intensive than the rural and sprawling semi-suburban and rural development. Housing construction is generally dense and urban development is primarily multi-use to ensure residents inhabit places that are near to their needs.

While Illuminatian [[Government of Illuminatia|government]] maintains centralized control over general population density and development patterns, policy specific to individual cities is the purview of local [[tertiary assemblies]], which have well-defined jurisdictional boundaries that correspond precisely to the physical boundaries of their cities. Urban development is prohibited outside these boundaries, reducing issues of sprawl and uneven taxation and governance. Private [[Land ownership in Illuminatia|land ownership]] is not allowed under Illuminatian law, allowing an ideal level of control over the land as a public resource, resulting in efficient and responsible management of that land and the development that takes place on it.

As Illuminatia was [[Settlement of Illuminatia|settled]] and as Illuminatia's [[Primary settlement cities|first cities]] were planned, the expansion of the land area consumed by urban development was kept to a minimum while the density of that growth was increased to premeditated levels before outward growth was allowed. Meanwhile the establishment of [[Secondary settlement cities|new cities]] was reserved until the population to support these cities existed and the loss of that population from primary settlement cities would not cause those original cities to lose social cohesion and economic viability. The [[Human migration in Illuminatia|migration]] necessary to population newly-established cities is regulated through fully-voluntary incentive-based systems, allowing the mutual benefit of migrants contributing to the establishment of new cities as well as of the general public interest.

[[File:Population_Illustration.png|225px|frameless|thumb|left|]]
Illuminatia's cities were intentionally established within [[Conurbations of Illuminatia|conurbations]] that place population centers nearby to one another in clusters, allowing for efficient transportation between population centers. These conurbations result in well-organized markets for commercial purposes, distinct delineated markets for [[Mass media of Illuminatia|mass media]] and mass communication, and well-defined regional social identities.

Per Lucidus [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|guidelines]] for habitation and development of the [[Neonisi]] planet, it was imperative that human development on this new planet be as minimally impactful as possible to the existing natural environment, which is highly contrary to the development practices of historical [[Archaeomodern historical era|archaeomodern]] Western civilization upon Earth which encouraged urban sprawl, gratuitous destruction of natural resources, and sparse, isolated inadequately-developed communities, resulting in the multitudinal environment and economic catastrophes experienced by that civilization. These guidelines were developed knowing that the successful human habitation of Neonisi and in turn the success of the Illuminatian branch of humanity would be much more likely if the population is kept above a certain density and settlement of low-density habitation is discouraged or strictly limited. It was understood that communities with populations below a certain threshold would likely exhibit a tendency toward insular societal structures that might enforce unnecessary narrow cultural norms and otherwise might be non-accepting of inward migration, which would be hazardous to the healthy survival of humanity in Illuminatia.

Illuminatian city and urban planning policy stipulates that new settlements are not allowed to be established until a population threshold is reached that will socially and economically support that community. These policies avoid the social isolation and economic torpor that would result from a community that is not sustainable. Rural communities are generally discouraged in Illuminatia because it would be impractical to maintain the public and social infrastructure necessary to support populations at the same robust level as is expected in Illuminatian urban centers. Illuminatian government understands that it would be inequitable to provide a poorer level of public infrastructure for these populations and that this would result in discriminatory development patterns in particular for rural areas. As a result, new cities may not be established without plans for a threshold of population to relocate to a planned city and without commitment from public and commercial entities for an adequate nucleus of development.

'''The partition of VB''' refers to an event early in the history of [[Broadcasting in Illuminatia|broadcasting]] in Illuminatia which resulted in the reorganization of Illuminatia's at-the-time dominant [[Wireless broadcasting in Illuminatia|wireless]] network into two separate independently-run networks. The original entity—a [[Public-private partnerships in Illuminatia|public-private partnership]] known as [[Vos Broadcasting]] (abbreviated VB) was split into two discrete entities—a non-profit public network known as the [[Trans-Illuminatia Network]] (abbreviated TI), and a for-profit enterprise under the surviving name Vos Broadcasting (VB).

This strategic split was instigated by the administrators of Illuminatia’s broadcasting infrastructure at a point during the history of the continent's broadcasting at which the programming output, the infrastructure broadcasting itself, the economy of broadcasting, and the audience population reached a level that could support a larger sustained body of broadcast offerings.

As the original VB wireless network gradually differentiated into two distinct program streams largely served by different sets of transmitters and produced largely by different production houses, it became clear that the broadly mainstream and cultural orientation of VB's smaller second network could be best-served by operating as a commercial enterprise; meanwhile it became apparent that the original network's public-service orientation would find its best fit being completely separated from the public-private partnership and operated entirely on a non-profit basis by public entities. Coincidentally, there was a general distinction between the character of the operators of the individual local LIS and RCS stations that repeated programming of these two networks, with local stations rebroadcasting the first VB network generally identifying as [[Local Information Station|LIS]] stations operated by public entities, and local stations rebroadcasting the second VB network generally identifying as [[Registered Civilian Station|RCS]] stations most-often operated by commercial entities. This tendency made the separation of the networks a natural decision once the robustness of the programming output and the continent-wide penetration of the networks' wireless reception and coverage became adequate.

The split of the two networks was accomplished by way of differentiating the network affiliation of the large regional [[ULW broadcasting|ULW stations]] serving programming to the smaller local LIS and RCS stations. Most of the largest and oldest ULW stations operating the first VB network and carrying generally public service programming were rebranded to the TI network and were transitioned to operation on a purely non-profit basis if they were not already operated this way, connected to a network based out of [[Voston]], Illuminatia's capital. Conversely, the remaining stations operating the second VB network and carrying programming that trended toward the mainstream, popular, and cultural fare maintained the VB branding and transitioned to commercial operation, connected to a network headquartered in [[Adamopolis]], Illuminatia's largest city and commercial center.

This partition of broadcast networks was capable of being organized as efficiently as it was thanks to the centralized nature of the original public-private partnership that was granted access to develop a broadcast infrastructure by the Illuminatian [[Government of Illuminatia|government]].

The legacy of the partition of VB survives with the TI network and the VB network subsequently engineering their own divisions into separate networks under each parent network as program output and audience numbers justified these transitions.

TI has maintained its public-service mission and the non-profit operation of its stations, with one network providing news and public information, a second network oriented toward educational programming, a third network catering to cultural literacy and the traditional performing arts, and plans for a fourth network focusing on popular musical forms, a fifth network focused on emerging undercurrents in the arts, and concepts of a sixth network dedicated to documentaries, poetry and literature.

Meanwhile VB has survived as a highly-competitive commercial operation with one network providing mainstream full-service pop-culture oriented programming, a second network focusing on non-mainstream cultural assets as well as sports, a third network broadcasting primarily news and conversation programming, and a proposed fourth network that may split off all sports programming onto a dedicated network.

While VB developed itself as an independent commercial enterprise, competing commercial networks gained footholds, including [[Galaxy Wide Broadcasting|GWB]] based in [[Overture]] and [[Adamant Broadcasting Network|ABN]] based in [[Rhapsody]].

'''Public-private partnerships''' are a form of economic arrangement that is occasionally utilized in Illuminatian public policy in certain highly-regulated situations in which development of infrastructure or a resource is thought to be best served if integral elements of either its initial investment, ongoing operations, or both require some components to act as public services while other components act best as commercial business enterprises. A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public%E2%80%93private_partnership public-private partnership] is the only condition in which the Illuminatian [[Government of Illuminatia|government]] allows some level of monopoly.

Commercial enterprises are invited to, bid on the opportunity to, or are incorporated by the government to take part in a strictly controlled arrangement that limits profit-taking for the commercial entities involved while limiting exposure of the public to investment risk. The partnership will balance these motives to maximally protect the public first and expose the commercial entity to the level of risk appropriate at the stipulated profit level. All public-private partnerships are approved and managed by the [[Bureau of Commerce and Trade]] (BCT). The process of regulating public-private partnerships internally within the government is scrutinized by the [[Department of Malfeasance and Corruption]] (DMC).

Public-private partnerships were suggested by the Lucidus mission [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|guidelines]] for settlement and habitation of the [[Neonisi]] planet because it was understood that especially at early stages of the Illuminatian civilization's development, the governmental structure and economy available at the time would likely not be well-enough equipped to effectively regulate or develop certain infrastructures and resources. The suggested structure for public-private partnerships was intended to avoid pitfalls of certain commercial phenomena such as monopoly, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture regulatory capture], collusion, price-fixing, market cornering and misuse, and other types of economic or governmental corruption, which is very much contrary to most forms of governance experienced [[Archaeomodern historical era|historically]] on Earth.

Public-private partnerships are pursued sparingly, and only in cases in which fully public or fully private arrangements of an industry, economic sector, or infrastructural system would not be practical. Public-private partnerships are only established in cases in which the resulting infrastructure would benefit the greater public as a whole and be available to all members of the public equitably. The public-private arrangement is only considered when the development would not be possible under normal public or private circumstances or involves a limited resource that could not be adequately managed without some level of monopoly.

Public-private partnership, according to an agreed-upon cadence, are regularly reviewed to assess their continued necessity and efficacy. The BCT has a history of dissolving certain public-private partnerships after long-term periods when either the industry in question has matured to a point at which it can support competitive multi-entity commerce, the infrastructure in question outgrows limits that required the monopoly or partnership, or the infrastructure, resource, or service is judged to be most-adequately served as being managed by the government.

One highly-visible example of a successful public-private partnership in Illuminatia included the original [[Vos Broadcasting|VB]] broadcasting network, which was established to kick-start the broadcasting sector when the economics of the balance between content generation costs and audience numbers would not support broadcasting as a purely commercial enterprise. This partnership also was found necessary due to the physically limited availability of [[Electromagnetic spectrum in Illuminatia|spectrum]]. Additionally, the sensitivity of the public to the concepts of information freedom and [[Freedom of speech in Illuminatia|freedom of speech]] necessitated an avoidance of solely government-controlled broadcasting. This partnership was dissolved after the partition event in which VB was split into two independently-operating networks—the publicly-operated non-profit [[Trans-Illuminatia Network]] (TI), and the surviving commercially-operated VB.

Other examples of public-private partnerships have included: development of Illuminatia's energy generation and transmission grid along with some natural resource extraction efforts; operation of Illuminatia's [[Monetary Network]] alongside the [[Polling and Balloting Network]] which both originally functioned using the same physical network; as well as operation of the [[Automated Terrestrial Traffic Instruction and Control System]] (ATTICS) in conjunction with the buildout of Illuminatia's ground transportation networks.

[[File:Settlement_of_Illuminatia_Illustration.png|225px|frameless|thumb|right|]]
'''Migration''' of members of the human population in Illuminatia is a natural and feely-occurring phenomenon that is gracefully managed without active governmental, systemic, or cultural inhibitions, although [[Population regulation in Illuminatia|population management]] needs commonly benefit from the highly-effective use of fully-voluntary incentive-based public policy methods for managing and encouraging certain patterns of migration in efforts to promote the greater public interest and ensure adequate resource distribution. The practice of seasonal migration and part-time residency is enjoyed by a sizeable minority of Illuminatians and is practical for many thanks to generally supportive economic conditions.

Migration of residents to and from cities to other cities and between regions is wholly welcomed and accepted as a part of the conventional human freedom of mobility, both on the individual level as well as migration as considered through trends on the macro scale. Cultural systems in Illuminatia discourage the formation of exclusive in-groups and other social behaviors that might ostracize those who might otherwise be considered to be outsiders to a given region. [[Language in Illuminatia|Linguistic]] boundaries exist in Illuminatia due to the adoption of any one of four [[Protolucidian languages]] as a home language by a strong minority of the population, however due to the universal usage of [[Glossa Communi]] as a public language, differences in language are not a source of division or access restriction for migrants.

Migration between parts of Illuminatia is in no way limited or checked by [[Government of Illuminatia|government]] regulations or limits. There are no borders or partitioning of [[Nationalism in Illuminatia|nations]] on the [[Neonisi]] planet, and so any concerns similar to those upon which those in power fixated during Earth's [[archaeomodern historical era]] in regards to immigration across arbitrarily-drawn borders are moot in Illuminatia. While culturally-identified regions and administrative subdivisions exist in Illuminatia, these lines do not suggest or impart any semblance of a hard or soft border between parts of the continent which are otherwise all united under one civilization democratically administered at the top level by one unified government.

Despite the Illuminatian civilization's aversion to limiting freedom of movement, government agencies such as the [[Office of Demography]] (OOD) maintain an interest in documenting changes in population numbers and densities purely for descriptive and informational purposes, and offices within the [[Bureau of Reproduction and Copulation]] (BRC) as well as other departments make use of incentives to encourage and discourage migration patterns. These incentives merely provide useful information to potential migrants so that they may make decisions with fully-informed consent as they balance their concerns for societal needs with any personal motivations. This incentivization has proven successful at encouraging population patterns in-line with [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|guidelines]] from the [[Lucidus mission]] intended to provide for the highest probability of the success of human civilization upon the Neonisi planet. These guidelines, which remain codified into regulation, ensure the equitable distribution of economic power and other resources among a changing and rapidly growing Illuminatian population.

Migration patterns orchestrated by the government have been responsible for sustainable growth of the human population in Illuminatia. These patterns encouraged raw growth during Illuminatia's early history and transitioned to logical distribution of the population to newly-settled lands later. For instance, early in Illuminatia's [[Settlement of Illuminatia|settlement]] history, raw population growth was a necessity as a mechanism to secure the establishment of the Illuminatian branch of humanity. As [[secondary settlement cities]] were established, there arose a need to encourage populations of certain demographics of working-age individuals and their families to populate these cities and this was accomplished through incentives. Later in settlement history, the population of [[tertiary settlement cities]] was accomplished through similar methods, targeting individuals based upon vocation as well as [[Education in Illuminatia|educational]] specifications. Population migration goals have also strongly considered the familial and relational background of individuals in respect to [[Multiverse|multiversal duplication]] heritage aspects in order to maintain diversity and redundancy in the human gene pool.

While Illuminatians maintain levels of regional social identity based on city of residence, ancestral origin upon one of the three ships of the Lucidus mission, and dominant foreparental multiversal duplication origin, these factors of social cohesion in no way prevent the welcoming of migrants from other geographical regions or from other ancestral backgrounds. In fact, these identity constructs and social paradigms allow for a cultural texture that encourages a sense of place and shared humanity among newcomers and natives alike. Regional social identity has proven effective as a contextual cultural nucleus that nonetheless discourages “othering” of those who might be considered outsiders.

[[File:Illuminatia_Outline_Bolded_Black.png|225px|frameless|thumb|right|]]
'''Natural disasters''' are uncommon but possible in Illuminatian as a result of the native climatic conditions of [[Neonisi]]. Natural disaster incidents occasionally result in reparable property loss, temporary destruction of infrastructure, or momentary inconvenience and disruption to commercial and recreational activities, but very rarely result in casualties in the form of personal injury or termination of human life.

Residents of Illuminatia accept a reasonable occurrence of natural disasters, but respond to these incidents by making systemic changes to human settlement conditions and infrastructural support mechanisms as these mishaps and misfortunes risk exceeding an unacceptable thresholds for severity of impact or frequency of incidence. As a result of [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|guidelines]] for human habitation upon Neonisi which strongly forbade intentional development of human infrastructure and habitation in disaster-prone regions, human settlement in Illuminatia strongly avoids development in areas in which residential, commercial, or infrastructural development is subject to the effects of natural disasters, which is very much contrary to common historical urban planning development procedures on Earth which often encouraged development that was subject to unsustainable and unmanageable natural risks. As such, impacts to human-developed settlement and infrastructure by way of problematic natural occurrences in Illuminatia are exceedingly uncommon.

While the mechanisms of the [[Lucidus mission]] automatically selected the Neonisi planet for human habitation based in part on its merits of possessing a climate highly compatible with human habitation, it would have been excessively improbable for the mission to have found a planet exhibiting all desirable qualities for supporting a new human civilization separate from Earth without balancing those attributes with the always-present dynamic climatic conditions that would invariably result in some occurrence of energetic and forceful weather events within the parts of the atmosphere occupied by human life. Additionally, almost any habitable planet would be subject to tectonic forces and other dynamics of the natural environment that might result in surface conditions of a potentially changing nature, and so a certain acceptance of some level of risk was deemed acceptable and necessary.

The uncommon albeit present threat of natural disasters discovered upon settlement of Illuminatia was a primary motivation for establishing the [[Department of Calamity and Catastrophe]] (DCC) upon the original organization of the Illuminatian [[Government of Illuminatia|government]]. The [[Office of Natural Disasters]] (OND) within the DCC is the primary governmental agency responsible for planning and preparations for, predictions of, and response to and recovery from naturally-occurring destructive and misfortunate events. The OND provides resources to communities affected by destructive and disruptive acts of nature as part of the government’s general acceptance of responsibility for ensuring civilization-wide compatibility between humans and their interstellar home.

Commercially-available insurance provides very affordable coverage for acts of nature, as a result of the population’s generally low exposure to the risk. This makes mechanisms to mitigate personal risk highly accessible for residents. Additionally, the DCC guarantees recompense for those who are negatively impacted by a naturally-occurring event so long as they maintain appropriate protections against known hazards.

[[Broadcasting in Illuminatia|Broadcast]] outlets managed by the [[Office of Climate Information]] (OCI) within the [[Department of Climate and Meteorology]] (DCM) are responsible for some functions of natural disaster readiness and prevention through dissemination of warning alerts to the general public. The OCI has deployed a continent-wide network of [[Wireless broadcasting in Illuminatia|wireless]] transmitters capable of reaching nearly the entire Illuminatian population to supply forecasting and alerting. The OCI also maintains a similarly-omnipresent [[Telekinephotocasting in Illuminatia|telekinephotocast]] network capable of providing advanced visual communication for forecasting, alerting, and other weather and climate information.

Similar to Earth, Illuminatia’s coastal regions are home to a significant density of human habitation. However unlike historical Earthly civilization, Illuminatia’s coastal regions are not subject to an existential threat related to sea level change, as Neonisi is not undergoing any dramatic climate change hazard capable of causing changes to sea level. Additionally, coastal cities and settlements located along rivers and other bodies of water are intentionally built with significant infrastructure and construction at some elevation above the water level to prevent any transient water level events from impacting human habitation. Some interior regions of Illuminatia are prone to dramatic and dynamic atmospheric pressure changes, isolated and concentrated cyclonic strong winds, forceful precipitation, electrostatic storms, and other occasional violent weather conditions, however conditions leading to these types of storm events are predictable and trackable once they form and broadcast media are heavily utilized to alert the general public in these regions to take shelter an prepare protections for property and infrastructure. Some of Illuminatia’s colder regions are subject to intense frozen precipitation, however infrastructure can be constructed in such a way as to withstand potential issues that collection of frozen precipitation might cause. Seismic events have been documented and construction practice take into account the potential for sudden and dramatic movements of the planet surface.

 The tradition of quasi-voluntary population regulation instituted using a means that preserves autonomy in family planning decisions dates to the days of the [[Lucidus mission]], during which tight controls were necessary, per the mission's [[Lucidus mission protocols|protocols]], in order to maintain an optimal population aboard a long-term multi-generational inter-galactic voyage within the confined space and finite resources of a space ship. Concerns for control of the total population were compounded by concerns over maintaining optimal demographics and cultural, ethnic, and genetic diversity to encourage the maximum probability of the long-term quality survival of the Lucidus branch of the human race.

 The telecommunications sector in Illuminatia avoided a monopoly situation as a result of the relative strength of regional telephone companies in western, northern, and eastern Illuminatia, providing quality competition to IT&T on a continental scale for long-distance connectivity. Meanwhile, the refusal on principle by the Illuminatian government and local [[tertiary assemblies]] to grant local monopolies on consumer telecommunications services meant that there was always adequate consumer choice and competition among telecom providers within the [[Adamopolitan River|Adamopolitan]] river valley of interior central Illuminatia where IT&T was founded.

 Public-private partnerships were suggested by the Lucidus mission [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|guidelines]] for settlement and habitation of the [[Neonisi]] planet because it was understood that especially at early stages of the Illuminatian civilization's development, the governmental structure and economy available at the time would likely not be well-enough equipped to effectively regulate or develop certain infrastructures and resources. The suggested structure for public-private partnerships was intended to avoid pitfalls of certain commercial phenomena such as monopoly, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture regulatory capture], collusion, price-fixing, market cornering and misuse, and other types of economic or governmental corruption, which is very much contrary to most forms of governance experienced [[Archaeomodern historical era|historically]] on Earth.
-Public-private partnerships are pursued sparingly, and only in cases in which fully public or fully private arrangements of an industry, economic sector, or infrastructural system would not be practical. Public-private partnerships are only established in cases in which the resulting infrastructure would benefit the greater public as a whole and be available to all members of the public equitably. The public-private arrangement is only considered when the development would not be possible under normal public or private circumstances or involves a limited resource that could not be adequately managed without some level of monopoly.

 Public-private partnership, according to an agreed-upon cadence, are regularly reviewed to assess their continued necessity and efficacy. The BCT has a history of dissolving certain public-private partnerships after long-term periods when either the industry in question has matured to a point at which it can support competitive multi-entity commerce, the infrastructure in question outgrows limits that required the monopoly or partnership, or the infrastructure, resource, or service is judged to be most-adequately served as being managed by the government.

 All motor vehicles operating on a road or rail route that is controlled by the ATTICS must be equipped with the capacity to be fully controlled by the system, the ability to concurrently lock-out any manual human control of or input into the vehicle's movements, and communicate to the system various information about the vehicle's destination, movements, status, and cargo.

ATTICS was originally developed as a [[Public-private partnerships in Illuminatia|public-private partnership]] between the government, local [[tertiary assemblies]] assemblies, and commercial construction, infrastructure, and communications entities.
 The ATTICS exclusively controls all vehicle-accessible streets in urban centers, all urban auto thoroughfares, a complete network of inter-city highways, and all rail lines. Manually operated vehicles and locomotives are not allowed on these facilities—all traffic in these areas is controlled by ATTICS. Physical access to ATTICS-controlled routes by manually-operated motor vehicles, human-powered transport, and pedestrians is generally inconvenient or physically impossible, with access controlled by permanent barriers or other access-restriction devices. In locations where a non-controlled street intersects an ATTICS-controlled route at an at-grade intersection, automatically movable gates are used to enforce right-of-way and stop manually-operated traffic, in addition to the automatic braking all manual vehicles are required to have.

 The ATTICS has also allowed Illuminatian transportation to function efficiently with a minimum of infrastructure. Most highways consist of at most two lanes primarily to allow frequent oncoming traffic to pass without stopping the opposing traffic. Overtaking is not common for same-direction traffic, as traffic levels are controlled before entry into the road and all traffic is instructed to travel at the same speed. The oncoming lane is safely used for rare instances in which high-priority traffic must overtake standard-speed traffic or vehicles operating in energy conservation mode; this is possible as the ATTICS is in full control of oncoming traffic. Most moderately-trafficked routes are single-lane, with periodic side-lanes for passing of oncoming traffic; this is possible thanks to the strict traffic regulation which restricts opposing-direction traffic to intervals that make passing within these side-lanes possible.

 Compote has been noted for their adeptly inaccurate accounts of real-life events. Compote exercises an ability to begin with non-fiction and bend the events and fabricate an entire scaffolding of details in a way that invents a quasi-non-fiction genre of storytelling that was, before Compote's time, not much imagined as a legitimate form of storytelling in a society that values clear lines between fact and fiction. The writing of Compote was a primary impetus for the creation of the [[Plausible Reality Rating]] (PRR). Compote literature generally scores very low on the PRR—lower than bona fide fiction—due to the easy confusion with actual facts encountered with Compote's works.

 Primary settlement cities are almost exclusively clustered along coasts in regions where the Lucidus ships directed their [[Lucidus termination event|evacuation modules]] to land. However, a small number of original settlements survive in outlying land-locked locations where some Lucidus modules made [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute parachute]-assisted landings on dry land in the middle of the continent.
-By contrast, [[secondary settlement cities]] are cities that were subsequently settled by voyagers drawn from a population base originating from a primary settlement city. Secondary settlement cities tend to be located in the interior of the continent away from the coasts. And [[tertiary settlement cities]] are cities that were settled significantly later with a population that was generally born after Illuminatia's original settlement efforts and recruited largely from secondary settlement cities.

 Additionally, the settlers here also experienced the advantage of being the nearest to a second multiversal instance of survivors—those of the eastern and northern region who landed in [[Brookeview Bay]] just north of here. This led to an early discovery of other multiversal Lucidus survivors and a quicker establishment of knowledge regarding the multiversal nature of the anomaly and likelihood of other multiversal survivors on the Illuminatian continent. This discovery and collaboration resulted in more rapid industrial and scientific development, expedited exploration, and swifter development.

 Many secondary settlement cities were originally settled as outposts and grew from this, while other secondary settlement cities were purposely planned as a place for an excess population from another city to settle and seed a new development. Secondary settlement cities are newer than primary settlement cities and are, on average, smaller. Most secondary settlement cities also enjoy better [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planning civic planning] than some hastily-established primary settlement cities. The population of a secondary settlement city will tend to be fairly unified in having an ancestry largely derived from a specific [[Multiverse|multiversal duplication]] and from a specific Lucidus ship.
