just out on DRX's new adventure exploring various bits of the galaxy and wondered about the info on a system state. several times I have come to a system and its low security or anarchy and there is no system authorities so I wondered why do systems which are out in the black have low security or anarchy tags to them

It's because there's no outposts or stations - there's no security infrastructure, hence no law, hence they are technically anarchic.

Correct as far as the game is concerned, but still an improper use of the term. Anarchy indicates that the people in a given area are not governed. It implies that there are people. In an area where there are no people to (not) govern, the government type should be some variety of null such as blank or "none".

But if you are there then there are people in that system and if there is no government/legal system does it become anarchic? Or since you can make up the law do you become a dictator?:)

I guess what I am really saying is does the act of observing the system make it anarchic?

Cool to see what has been said but it's just a little confusing why they are bouncing between low security and anarchy when it's out in the middle of no where and I'm the first bit of civilisation that system will have seen

well.....in that case shouldn't it be 'none' until you arrive, at which time it becomes anarchy...until you depart again. Perhaps 'Lawless' would be a better description?

It seems that the user interface designers at Frontier are not explorers. We have the security level and our wanted status for the next jump showing up front and centre every time we engage the FSD, but the star class is relegated to the top right hand side of the screen where it can scroll by if you're not looking specifically at it.

So I guess Anarchy seems to be a legitimate state, as it seems not to require anyone to be affected by it accoding to 1a.
