Background
Rma Today
Genre: Troubled Vacation Spot
The Rman civil war was approximately two months of fighting, at the end of which the 'Spaceborn' faction and their offworld mercenaries (see document RMA-1006-1749L and attached files) achieved essentially complete victory over the forces of the preceding government. The popular term for the new government is 'Biotech Masters'; this is in fact a serial mistranslation of the appropriate Rman term which, in Imperial, means more properly 'Masters of the direction of human events', instead of 'Masters of human life' or 'Masters of artificial living things'.

Advantages
Mystical Society
It would be gratifying if the Interstellar Organization for Etheric Conservation could report that the Rmans have a low-impact, sustainable lifestyle that places minimal demands on the resources of their inhabited world. Unfortunately, this is not the case as Rmans are (in)famous galaxywide for their hedonism and rampant consumerism, with much of the planetary fuel resources coming from local taxation.
Biotech Nation
Rma's mastery of biotechnology is second only to that of the Zanzibaran Starholds. That said, Rman lifecrafters generally work with organically-deposited crystal instead of living polyp.
Disadvantages
Nuke Free Zone
Rma has long had a social aversion to the usage of weapons of mass destruction and the new government has not shown any indication that it will change course on this topic.
Dissatisfied Population
The short Rman civil war exposed a number of faultines in planetary society and while the use of offworlder mercenaries has allowed the Masters to redirect some of the anger outwards - sufficient to provide a facade of stability for tourists - it will take some time to put this bloody expoch properly into history.
Climate
Always beach episode weather.
