Basha

A basha is the primary place of residence for most people. Halfway between a very large household and a very small city, bashas are centred round a crackerbox over an He3 fusion reactor and are basically enormous radiation canopies several kilometers across. Inside these there are stacks of rooms where people live with a central Hub containing resources. Each basha is in charge of an area of forest calculated per capita. All bashindas must look after the forest as well as work at their occupations. Many bashindas tend plants within the basha, although these are not private. Bashas can be Half Circle, that is, suitable for people between the early twenties and the late fifties, or Full Circle, that is able to support the entire lifecycle from birth to death. To be rated Full Cricle is highly prestigious and bashas race to get tehre and then to entice childerias to live in them.

Origins
The bashas developed from the earliest human settlements after the Flowering. These were little more that a big pit in the ground for the fusion reactor and its water-cooling system, with a radiation tent anchored over the hole. From those rough beginnings the bashas have developed into places of art, light, pleasure and drama. Although people may move between many different bashas in various parts fo the world, people develop an intense loyalty to those bashas they like, and keep coming back to them and feeling nostalgic for them. The bashas compete to produce this feeling and to attract talented people to them.
