Arcadia is a fairly lush world, by many measures better than Earth. It has no continents but large numbers of archipelagos mainly in the temperate and tropical zones. There is a slightly higher portion of land to water than Earth but nearly twice as much arable land. Many areas allow multiple harvests annually, like Southern India on Earth. There are subarctic areas as well and ice bound polar isles.
Between the crash of the colony ship and conflicts among the survivors, the population stayed low for a long time. The present population is about 11 to 12 million. It's only because of past records that such a small scattered population can hold on to TL3. The few cities that exist are beginning to move to TL4 as they become more organized.
Psionic powers were known before the crash. Some individuals retain these skills. Psions are rare, charge a 10 point
Unusual Background for psi. Increase that to 20 points if they have any psi powers other than Telepathy, ESP, Probability Alteration, Astral Projection, or Ergokinesis.
