Lamster is a world in Quadrant 1 at the center of the Free Worlds Alliance. The Diet of Lamster is the main ruling body. Members of the Diet are selected by regional selection bodies, after a system of competition and opinion polls. Lamster has a loose system modelled a little after the Centauri. Government is small, and mainly operates the legal system and ensures that contract law is enforced. In 3207 the Chief Executive is Jackson Imig. Alliance naval headquarters and the Council of Defense Ministers are located there, which makes it a sort of impromptu 'capital' for the FWA. The Lamster confrence was held there, further cementing this status.
