Nose is a world in Quadrant 1 in the Free Worlds Alliance.
Nose has a Xyonist-style bi-cameral and federal government with a 10 member High Council (Hakamim) and 50 member Parliament (Sanhedrin). The current Prime Minister is Moises Portie. Some politicians in the FWA regard Nose as a bit soft on pirates. Nose has a close relationship with the Union of Xyon.
Nose has an average economy, as far as a world can go as an independent world. Strongly commercialistic, the Nosers are very involved in interstellar trade, sometimes to the exclusion of other matters of common interest.
Nose maintains an Internal Security Division. The FWA has stationed a garrison destroyer at Nose.
