	The colonial bureaucracy of Novi Jadran is de jure entirely under the control of the Department of Colonial Affairs, as it is an Imperial Mandate of the broader Empire. De facto, the Department has a hands-off approach where Novi Jadran is left to manage its own internal affairs due to its proven loyalty, and Morozian Primary bureaucrats — with their Secondary colleagues — are treated lavishly on the planet when they arrive. The Imperial Mandate’s bureaucracy is itself divided between the rural and urban zones, with the rural areas dominated by the Jadranic nobility and the urban areas dominated by the more meritocratic bureaucracy of the urban patrician classes, who must ensure profits continue to flow into their urban holdings. In the countryside, graft and corruption by rural nobles — with Morozian Primaries of the Department of Colonial Affairs often receiving kickbacks — ensures the administration is inefficient and benefits nobles first, with commoners second.

	Non-Tribunalist criminal enforcement on Novi Jadran is handled by the local branch of His Imperial Majesty’s Constabulary Service: the Imperial Jadranic Colonial Constabulary (IJCC), which is further divided into rural and urban sections. The IJCC has a reputation for excellence in the broader Empire and across Novi Jadran, with low rates of corruption and high rates of solving cases — particularly in urban areas. Urban constables are common sights in most city districts, with their peaked caps and uniform intentionally designed to evoke the appearance of an Imperial Army officer. Rural constables are less frequent, with many villages only having a single constable for their region. Despite their low numbers, rural constables have a reputation for doggedly tracking fugitives for dozens — sometimes — hundreds of kilometers, often with the assistance of Imperial Lyodii seconded to the ~~IJCX~~ from the Lyodic Rifles, until they bring their suspect to justice.

	Novi Jadran is a tundra world similar to Moroz in terms of its climate. Summers, and the growing season, are short and relatively warm while winters are long and harsh. The planet’s spring and early summer is a time of flooding in many rural areas as snowmelt and spring rains combine to create muddy, treacherous conditions which render travel on the unpaved roads which are common throughout rural areas difficult and potentially hazardous. This condition is repeated in the early autumn, which is a season of intense rains as the growing season draws to a close. During winter most regions of the planet have several months of consecutive below freezing average temperatures, and much of Novi Jadran’s surface outside of its equatorial region is covered in permafrost. During the peak of winter, some blizzards can last for over a week and deposit meters of snow on the ground.		Novi Jadran is a tundra world similar to Moroz in terms of its climate.

During the peak of winter, some blizzards can last for over a week and deposit meters of snow on the ground.

	The planet's surface is mostly water, with a large ocean, known as Pontean Ocean, surrounding its only continent: Patria, which is covered in multiple lakes and crisscrossed by several major rivers. One of these, the Iri River, is home to the four major cities of Novi Jadran and stretches from the equatorial west to the equatorial east of Patria. The Iri River is deep and wide, supporting much of the piscine diet which dominates the planet and serving as an important economic vein for the planet. In recent years it has become increasingly polluted by industrial runoff, ~~hfueling~~ more dissent against Governor-Marchioness Anastazija Glavan due to her refusal to halt industrial development or confront the great houses for their impact on Jadranic fishing. Smaller rivers, such as the Iri’s tributaries, suffer from pollution to a lesser extent. The majority of Patria is dominated by thick forests and tundras, with every region of the supercontinent seeing snow during the winter.

	The Pontean Ocean, which covers the majority of Novi Jadran’s surface, is a freshwater ocean home to large icebergs which threaten shipping and have kept explorations — and exploitations — of it limited. Coastal Jadranic communities acquire much of their food from its icy waters and the ocean produces devastating storms during winter which can wreck even steel-hulled vessels — often designed to endure conditions of the wide Iri River, inland lakes, or the coastal ocean — if they are caught far from land. On the coast, Pontean “Sea-Storms” are frequent events during winter which can leave communities trapped in meters of snow and wash away poorly-prepared residences and piers, taking them out into its waters — never to be seen again. Oceanographers hired by House Caladius and brought to the Empire from planets as distant as Silversun and Europa claim the Pontean Ocean’s deeper regions are home to extensive natural gas reserves, but exploitation of these deposits has been limited due to the ocean’s harsh conditions and the unwillingness of many Jadranic sailors to venture beyond the sight of land.

	Known by modern Jadraners as the “'''Decades of Deprivation''',” the near-century Novi Jadran spent between Solarian and Dominian rule is regarded by most contemporary residents of the planet as a time of darkness and suffering, where advanced equipment failed and less effective solutions were developed to replace them and prevent worse failures. While the planet’s four major cities maintained some of their equipment, smaller settlements often had all of their infrastructure fail over the decades. Some of these villages and small towns were reduced to pre-space era standards of living, and the relative prosperity of the Solarian hegemonic era became a distant memory for the planet. Fusion reactors were replaced by coal plants and rail lines became the primary source of transportation and commerce for much of the world. Those who had control over the limited advanced equipment in rural areas of the planet quickly established themselves as the rulers of their areas and would, by 2389, become the noble families which now rule over much of the planet. In the urban areas where advanced technology was more easily available, patrician families with control over significant amounts of this equipment began to emerge. While no noble or patrician families ever declared outright war on one another, competition for limited technological resources led to shadow conflicts between them and rivalries which — in some cases — have lasted into the 25th century.
