The Outside World - TrinianGames/Sapphory GitHub Wiki

This article is a stub. It will be expanded in the future.

"The outside world" refers to everything on planet Earth that is not part of the Sapphorian Archipelago and its territorial waters. It is sometimes also referred to as the World of Men, despite being a roughly 50/50 mix of men and women. It is described as a largely lawless wasteland, in which men and women live among post-apocalyptic ruins. Sapphory has little official formal contact with it, though the port-city of Fivaviana does a significant amount of trade with several ports on the outside. Immigration is low-level and a largely one-way process, with a few hundred women a year seeking to enter Sapphory and only a handful trying to leave.

Relations with Sapphory

As there are few functioning nation-states in the outside world, there is little with which the Sapphorian state can attempt to have diplomatic relations. Over the centuries, a few of the fragile nations that have risen (and in most cases subsequently fallen,) have established embassies and consulates in Sapphory City. The Sapphorians allow this, but do not encourage it, and of course all ambassadors and other diplomatic staff must be female. The Sapphorians do not extend diplomatic immunity to them and rarely establish reciprocal facilities abroad.

Many of the pacific trade ports operate routes to Fivaviana, and outsider women can often be spotted in the town.
