   The asteroid "Stranglehold", in the [[Stranglehold|story of the same name]], is based on my idea of what FTZs are like - although Stranglehold itself is a very up-market version of the type. (Disembodied/Blaze O'Glory, 2016).

 Free Trade Zones exist because of the highly complex legal nature of Multi-Government planets, their collective paranoia over perceived sovereignty infringements by GalCop, and their general inability to make collective decisions. Although FTZs are recognised as nation states by the planetary authorities, GalCop currently regard those who visit these stations as (minor) Offenders, and will garnish your legal status accordingly. As part of the deal with GalCop, the FTZs are obliged to provide information on all who enter and leave. Despite persistent GalCop requests, however, they still refuse to give details of those ships' cargo manifests, citing "commercial confidentiality".
-New rules from GalCop have meant that FTZ's can, as an alternative to marking docking ships as offenders, pay GalCop a premium of 1000cr for each ship that visits the station. As the governing bodies of the FTZ's are in no position to subsidise this expenditure, they have instead given the captains the option. When a ship docks, they will be asked what their preferred option is: accept the bounty increase, or pay the 1000cr.

 Also, visitors to FTZ's will now need to request docking clearance, as a series of accidents in the docking tunnel have had a serious impact on prices.

 * There is now an automatic 5-point fine to your legal record for visiting an FTZ (v0.1 just added 5 to your record if you were clean: now bad people get fined too). Thanks to Commander McLane on the Oolite BBS for the coding.
