Zoners - why they do exist?

[Thyrzul]

Can somebody finally link me some RP or infocards about GC actually having a government and is not just a planet with a handful of small colonies scattered around the surface, inhabited by peaceful Zoners, Bretons, Sairs, Hessians, Mollies, whatever else living next to eachother, and just simply existing? I keep reading this left and right, stumbling upon this piece of info just recently, and I'm really curious from where it originates.
