The Overall Vibe
Alell is a beautiful world with a moderate temperature¸ rich blue sky and lush vegetation especially around the equator. It is widely settled with high tech hamlets clustered around low rise central business districts. The economy moved to hydrogen many years ago and most transport is automated with only the military and essential services plus the occasional enthusiast being able to self-drive.
There is very little evident poverty however it does exist with an underclass of working poor. Laws are enforced by remote surveillance¸ identity chips and policing drones with unrestrained access to citizens data and property. The result is an almost non-existent level of crime. Travellers will need to be wary of transgressing local laws and must always attend a briefing before heading to the surface as well as carry an identity chip with them.
Generally¸ the society seems cohesive and harmonious with industries exporting a variety of tech level ten goods including a range of autonomous vehicles. It is an industrious society and the people take pride in their manufacturing and technology to the point where tardiness and shoddy workmanship are not socially acceptable.
Alell is all about conforming to societies expectation and working for the group rather than the individual¸ that's not to say they don't know how to have a good time its just that they are acutely aware that the group is and was integral to the survival of the planet.
Religion
The major religion on Alell is Gardening. The natural environment is seen as critical and sacred. The Church of the Inspired Gardener is the official state religion with the worshipping of nature and all it contains an important part of Alell society. Every house will have a garden of some variety which has a temple at its centre. The spirit of the planet is said to dwell in these temples and can be contacted by ensuring time is spent tending the gardens around it or the wider planet. The Groundskeeper is the high priest of the religion and is based in the mountain bastion of Calloway near the city of Agadip. Every year at the start of the local spring avid Gardeners make the pilgrimage to Calloway for the "Spreading Of The Seeds" ceremony which involves the distribution millions of seeds to the faithful to be planted when they return home.
