Freeman Act

The Freeman Act is a piece of legislation passed cooperatively by all governments on Earth (Sol III) in 2281 that created a lottery system to grant land and mineral rights to potential colonists of the Croshaw system. Revenue generated from the lottery was used to fund ongoing terraforming efforts. Winners of the lottery were granted one-way tickets to the system, eligible for use once the terraformation of Croshaw II was completed. The success of this program convinced the governments of Earth to form a new one-world government called the United Nations of Earth (UNE) in 2380.
