This is Gaverex. Here you'll find there is no privacy whatsoever. Your daily thoughts are monitored and logged by the Gaverex Control Team, or as the statistics call them,the Leaders. Every dream you dream is also charted in your status record. And most importantly, your location is available for all to see, at all times.
The population limit is 500,000. In this era, the new age, we have been experiencing a reproduction problem. It seems that the birth of new statistics are rising. This means more work for us, the leaders. Once a new baby is born, the GSS processes the current statistics and by random selection, chooses one statistic to delete. The leaders are notified of this nomination, and their job is to inform the individual of their upcoming deletion from the planet.
Another important system is the Reproduction Control System. This allows the birth of one female and one male per relationship. If that rule is broken, we have no choice but to kill off the couple that are attempting to reproduce a third time. This is helpful with population control, too.
We look highly upon homosexuality, unlike other planets. Our best leaders were homosexual, and we appreciate it when we don't have to worry about them breeding like rabbits. These individuals are also respected more than heterosexuals due to their admirable divergence from the typical statistics.
You might notice that each individual is branded with a unique statistic code (USC), which is not much different from a barcode. The statistic codes are installed immediately upon birth by our team of statistic surgeons. Every individual has this USC installed on the outside of their throat. USC's contain a heavy metal with our genious invention, the GPS platelets. The microsopic GPS platelets allow for easy location searching. These are permanent, but if one attempts removal, the leaders will know. They won't be too happy with you, so I wouldn't recommend you jeopardize your statusism in Gaverex.
The USC's also contain our SmartLens device, which snaps a picture of your surroundings, including a sky-view, ground-view, front-view, and peripheral-view. We have yet to developed the technology to record motion pictures, unfortunately.
These are the main things you need to know about your statusism here in Gavarex. Please follow all rules, which are listed in your life manual. Failure to comply will result in possible deletion or community service.
