Description
Your school, the Madison Voyager (a spaceship) has crashed on Miranda. Things have quickly degenerated into anarchy. The player is tasked with establishing a working government with the help of a robot side-kick.
This game takes place on Neptune's moon, Miranda. Uhm... Scholastic made an error here. Miranda is a moon of Uranus. Presumably Miranda is the most suitable place for humans because all the other moons (of Uranus) are named after fantasy creatures while Miranda is contrast named after a (fictional) human. On a more scientific note. The surface of Uranus is mostly water; that's something, kinda. Oh, and tidal friction and retained heat from it's initial formation is thought to warm the moon all the way up to -188.15 ℃ in places. Sarcasm not withstanding, Miranda is actually closer to 'livable' than most places in the solar system. And this game is about government, not scientific knowledge.
