In the eighth of my short series of posts on Traveller World Tags, I'm focusing on the following remarks that are often tracked along with trade codes: Homeworld (Hw), Military Rule (Mr), Prison Camp (Pr).
My thoughts on world tags for these remarks can be found below.

Military Rule (Mr)

Prison Camp (Pr)
