	*If you are in Vorhusith, be aware that the suites for visiting dignitaries in the '''Boxrhanili House of Champions''' can be hired by outsiders during the parliamentary recesses. Not only do such rooms enable unparalleled access to the tea-houses ensconced within the walls, but one can also ramble through the outer corridors and chambers of the building, admiring the stonework, the filigree dividing panels and the corsucating crystal chandeliers. Whilst the service is not all that it could be (one is not a local dignitary, after all!), the proximity to the River Tree district with its magnificent array of luxury shops and gambling halls is not to be sneered at.		*If you are in Vorhusith, be aware that the suites for visiting dignitaries in the '''Boxrhanili House of Champions''' can be hired by outsiders during the parliamentary recesses.

-Unusually, the different governments of Icense are not differentiated geographically, but by the genes of the peoples they represent. So while the Djerbitians form the majority in the city of '''Ondaluse''', the Dharinist Dynarchs represent only them, and not the other inhabitants. They also command the Djerbitians on the continent of '''Syreni''', despite their being so heavily outnumbered by the Murasidi and Vangoruthi peoples. Needless to say, when a humanoid of Djerbiti engages another of the Murasidi in a marital contest, the loyalty of their progeny becomes a matter of dispute. Quite ridiculous. Very messy. And a wonderful source of Icensean jokes. This is only enhanced by the different customary methods of joining the group - with the Djerbitians, a Djerbiti father means that the child is Djerbiti. But with the Vangoruthi, the mother's status is the determinant. As for the Murasidi, one becomes a member at the age of sixteen during the ceremony of allegiance - however murky one's parentage. ''Et cetera, et cetera''.

The Loquavirthi insist on a genetic sampling performed during gestation. ''Et cetera, et cetera''.
 There do seem to be marked differences of character between the various genetic groupings (which of course only increases the humour generated at their expense). The largest group (in number and size) would be the '''Vangoruthi'''. Renowned for their bulk, their equanimity and their enjoyment of Zero-gravity hockey, their political leaders, the Vangorian Senate, try to take the initiative when it comes to dealing with the other peoples. Sadly, their entrenched suspicions of the Vangoruthi render most such discussions moot. Next in significance are the '''Djerbitians'''. Whilst slightly fewer in number than the '''Murasidi''', their control of the coasts and rivers of the Eastern continent (the water is in great demands for the factories), gives them greater sway in determining systemic decisions (on the rare occasions that such are reached). The Djerbitians are esteemed for their practicality, their thrift, and their preference for canine pets. Some of the most significant composers were Djerbitian. The Dynarchs thus seem to have more influence than their Vangoruthi rivals. ''Et cetera''.

 *Shopping district
-The shopping district of '''River Tree''' is justly famed. Named after a large Borthug-tree which had extended for 2 vershts along the southern side of the river Strengon, the promenades along the riverside are backed by the facades of a display of shops which equals those to be found anywhere in the Eight. Luxuries are imported from all over the Galaxy and sold here. Do not fail to visit the '''Elite Emporium of Garstang'''. The clothing section is renowned for its ability to cater to most species with off-the-peg appurtenances which are ready to wear. And the food halls have been justly acclaimed as possessed of a richesse of choice unmatched within many light years.

The results of the inhibitions of travel caused by the Isenceian infection can be seen in the display of foreign goods for the home-bound peoples.

The clothing section has become renowned for its ability to cater to most species with off-the-peg appurtenances which are ready to wear (the rumour is that it is sponsored by Garstang's government (the Murasidi) to tempt space-faring species down to the planet's surface).
