Polities

There are a number of different corporations and other government entities in the universe of Murderbot. These are referred to as “polities.” One of the most common forms of polity is a corporation, and the entire Corporation Rim is made up of these polities. Non-Corporation Rim polities are often referred to as “Freehold” worlds, and have a variety of different forms of government. Corporate polities tend to be dismissive of Freehold worlds, which generally have smaller populations and less political power.
