This included, but was not limited too: Clones, genetically modified humans, genetically altered sentient animals, genetically created creatures, and "War-Genetweaks" from the Digital Rebellion and the Biological Rebellion.This may seem at odds with the Confederacy's official line of: "Toe the line or die" when it comes to poltical discussion, but it actually solved the problem of citizens attempting to circumvent the Eugenics Laws by placing thier mental patterns in a clone and claiming that the engrams had been altered enough to make a new person who now had 400 years to live. They put all clones of people who hit 400 years old in the Biological Sentient Systems, where they were not considered citizens for 20 years, and were expected to work.The Biological Artificial Sentient Sytems operates on a singularily unique government. A combination of feudalism, socialism, capitalism, and democracy, Elected officials oversee regions of planets, while appointees by these officials oversee the planet, and each system is overseen by a representative elected by "Sector Lords" who are emplaced by "Service to the System" in various jobs. Above the System Lords is the Artificial Council, all chosen from the System Lords, who must have served for at least 50 years. Over it all is the Artificial Commisar, who is in position for 50 years, or if his onboard cybernetics and linkup to the vast computer database and artificial cybernetic intelligences detect massive abberancy in his/her mental patterns.All industry is owned by the System, with profits going right back into local "Districts" and these are taxed, rather than the citizens. Each citizen recieves a Basic Living Stipend, which gaurentees that each is paid according to ability and need. Employment does not affect the BLS, but the type of job does.The BASS does not maintain a military, instead insisting that the Terran Confederacy protect him, but also requiring all citizens of the BASS serve at least 25 years in the TCN, with the knowledge that citizens of the BASS will recieve weekly Soulchip updates, as well as have a clone ready to be implanted with Soulchip memories should the original be destroyed.In the BASS, personal appearance, sex, and race, are all mutable. A simple 20 minute nanite operation can change a person at the cellular level, and since mitochondrial DNA is what is used for identification, many younger citizens of the BASS often experiment with different bodies, different races, and even different genders.Plantary Defense Forces within the BASS are all volunteer, with a simple prerequisite of having served thier tour of duty within the TCN. As the BASS provides appoximately 15% of the TCN's military hardware, BASS PDF's are some of the best armed in the known galaxy.</blockquote>
