In addition to non-human lifeforms being banned from the planet, many luxury items such as liquor and cigarettes are also forbidden.  However, enforcement of these rules often depended on social status within the community.

===Social Status===
The church is an important part of life on Micovi and one's position in the church was important to forging both personal and business relationships.  Often, citizens go through confirmation and ritual tattooing simply to ensure upkeep of the best business relationships.
Other than religion, one's family ties were also of critical importance to social status on Micovi.  Citizens particularly looked down on orphans.  Orphans were treated as an untouchable caste with no chance at confirmation within the church.  With few avenues for improving their social status, orphans were frequently relegated to working in the mines.
