Okay, since you asked for it, here's a bit of info on Risu's worlds!

For starters, there's three of them and a major outpost/mining centre over the Maelstrom. Risu's people are hyper advanced technologically, and long ago learned how to artificially create a material that can be used to punch through the barriers between worlds. While it can be made completely artificially, it can also be mined from the Maelstrom, hence the outpost there. When this discovery was first made the population of the initial world was close to unacceptable, and they saw no reason not to expand into several nearby worlds. This happened so long ago that the exact details of who the original inhabitants were and what happened to them are completely lost. No one even remembers which world was the original one.  They are now referred to as Glory, Harmony and Reason.

Considering their current state, the names are somewhat ironic. Long after the two extra world were colonized, Risu's people went through some violent civil wars. The end result was the institution of a special AI system, backed by nanites. The nanites had existed for some time and had given Risu's people long lives, greater strength, agility and the ability to heal extremely quickly. But now they were put to a more sinister purpose. They were used to prohibit violence. The rational behind this was that since we do not have a right to harm someone else, prohibiting anti-social acts could only be a good thing. Also, many other acts were prohibited, such as stealing from a citizen, etc. Also, a caste system was implimented. Each level has slightly different limits to their actions, and different access to the nanite/AI systems.

Theoretically, there should have been a 'ruling' class who determined all the limits of the AI functions. But there is not. No one currently alive has the authority to change the AI systems at their most fundamental levels.

For our purposes, Risu's worlds are most unpleasant. People are being constantly monitored everyone outside of their private quarters. Fiction that is not based on fact is illegal, and all entertainments must be approved. Poor attitudes towards social roles can result in penalization or, at the worst, reorientation. Risu has been close to that a time or two, but managed to skate by. The cities themselves are beautiful, often built high above the ground with flowing walkways and amazing technologies, but they conceal a deep rot within. While the technology is amazing, it has been a long time since there were any great advances, and the population continues to decrease. When the AI system was first implimented, the average lifespan was almost 500 years. Now it is down to 200, because while the AI prohibits suicide it cannot prevent a kind of passive suicide. While the population is still in the billions, it is half what it was when the AI's were first introduced.

If we wanted to visit these worlds, a lot of magic would have to be involved. Risu's people don't believe in or use magic, so their systems are curiously open to it. False backgrounds would be necessary... visitors from other worlds are only permitted at the outpost otherwise.
