Dude, I love world building. It occassionally distracts me from actually writing the story. By the time I get the world as I like it, I'm sick of the idea. ;P
One question you might want to address is why they have companions in the first place. I mean, why not create some other kind of birth control program? Women go in for their shot every couple months, and if one should accidently get pregnant, they're forced to abort? Why is this the system they developed? Is there some moral grounding? Does BC not work for some reason? Are they afaid of side effects from the hormones?
Curiosity, you know. This makes sense as an absolute method, but why so extreme?
Did they perhaps enforce BC in the past, and found that it wasn't effective enough?
