== Setting ==
Maltese, as a State, is set perpetually at night. In addition, rain often falls, but the natural weather is never more intense than a drizzle.{{book ref|ps|2}} The exception to this is when someone hacks the programming and makes use of something that does not belong in the State, at which point the weather increases in intensity.{{book ref|ps|7}} The State is described as being based on western cultures of early twentieth-century Earth.
== Technology ==
Much of the technology is from the early twentieth-century. Maltese has trains, cars, handguns, and skyscrapers. The State does allow some technology from other time periods, with [[Liveborn]] capable of keeping any of their personal [[Boosts]], as well as wrist phones.{{book ref|ps|2}}
== Politics ==
Maltese, being a Communal State, has no native Liveborn. As such, Liveborn can compete with one another for the local [[Machineborn|Machineborns']] favor, elections being held once every two years. The Liveborn have turned this into somewhat of a game, taking advantage of the non-lethal nature of the handguns as well so that anytime a Liveborn is hit by one of the pellets that the handguns fire, the Machineborn in Maltese cannot see them for two weeks. This "penalty" is detrimental when campaigning for Machineborn favor.{{book ref|ps|2}}
