The Al-Leyans are a somewhat conservative race, and have deliberately slowed the rate of technical progression on their world to ensure maximum safety. In the approach to their current technology level, they did not go through a stage of burning fossil fuels, as studies showed the level of damage that it would do to their ecology to be unacceptable. Instead they worked on developing hydroelectric, tidal and solar power plants, which they fine-tuned to peak efficiency. This meant that they were able to depend solely on these forms of eco-friendly, emission-free energies to power their planet for centuries. However, the demands of modern technology have necessitated further development of power-sources, and a slight pollution of the planet's atmosphere was unavoidable. Scientists continually research ways to maximise power-production efficiency, and this has become a major branch of Al-Leyan science. | The Al-Leyans are a somewhat conservative race, and have deliberately slowed the rate of technical progression on their world to ensure maximum safety.

One of the reasons for this cautious approach could be explained by the fact that for many generations, areas of the Al-Leyan landmasses were uninhabitable as a result of toxic, gaseous emissions from volcanic strata beneath the surface. While plant-life and some insects were able to evolve in these locations, some of which are exotic in appearance, it was not possible for [[MA:humanoid|humanoids]] to colonise the areas concerned until the gases naturally dissipated. | One of the reasons for this cautious approach could be explained by the fact that for many generations, areas of the Al-Leyan landmasses were uninhabitable as a result of toxic, gaseous emissions from volcanic strata beneath the surface.

===Raising Children=== | |||
When an Al-Leyan is born, the mother does not look after her child until the child is 10 years of age. The children are taken into care by an organisation named Haemachuo, which looks after the people's children for 10 years, bringing them up in a secure, peaceful environment. | |||
Haemachuo was founded in 1728 when the Yul'shan party came into power in one of Luraul's more prominent provinces. The institution was set up to mould the future of all Al-Leyans, beginning by moulding infants into model members of society. The public agreed and voted for the idea, due to the Haemachuo manifesto, which offered “a better and brighter future” and equality for all infants, whether rich or poor. In 1973 Haemachuo was adopted by both ruling Al-Leyan demi-global governments and took its place planetwide. | |||
Workers of the institution are trained to notice any certain developmental difficulties a child may have, and act upon it, before the it can reach a stage where it may cause problems in adult life. At the present time, there is customarily one Haemachuo carer to 4 children. | |||
Haemachuo have certain requisites that workers have to meet. One such requirement is that they may not have children of their own. The pay at the instituion is one of the highest salaries available on the planet, and is generally popular among young female Al-Leyans that are studying at university. A Haemachuo carer is trained for a full Al-Leyan year before they are ready to care for a group of children. | |||
