:::a Iotians proverb. | |||
:The Iotians are a species who suffered from the meddling of outsiders, humans who contaminated their culture and society. They remain as one of the major examples of why the '''Prime Directive''' is such a vital and important part of the Federations policies. Since then they have managed to adjust, to recover and develop, eventually gaining membership into the Federation. | |||

By the mid-2360s, Iotia had become a Federation Protectorate, though it remained an independent or neutral world, with a cultural rating of E plus. It was not quarantined, but all visitors were first cleared to enter in a recently constructed orbital customs facility. It later became a Federation member world in 2366. | By the mid-2360s, Iotia had become a Federation Protectorate, though it remained an independent or neutral world, with a cultural rating of E plus.

===The Living Museums=== | |||
Starting in the 2250s, isolated from the Federation, certain zealous followers of the "teachings" of the Book began to live in anachronistic communities that shunned the newer ways. They became increasingly isolated as the Iotians took their first steps into space and began to meet and steal from other cultures. As the Iotians entered into negotiations with the Federation to become a Protectorate and then a full member, the communities drew the attention of sociologists, xenolinguists, and cultural archaeologists. Over time, the communities were gathered and provided with cities of their own where they were free to follow the old ways. Followers of the Book lived in Okmyx Chicago, a remastered version of the magnificent recreation of the Terran city of Chicago that Boss Bela Okmyx had led back when Captain James T. Kirk encountered him. Followers of the Communicator lived in the opulent style of the 22nd century Starfleet, with velour uniforms and yeomen in short skirts, at Port McCoy, which also serves as one of Sigma Iotia's largest spaceports. Okmyx Chicago is carefully regulated by guards who work to keep the environment safe for the tens of thousands of tourists who come through it each year, and who also insure that the "culture" of the Living Museum stays up to standards, keeping out alien influences and preventing the pinstriped gangster citizens from leaving. | |||
