	Following the Cardassian withdrawal from Bajor, the interim [[Bajoran Provisional Government]] was set up to administer the planet and its various colonies. Bajoran politics is balanced between the secular [[Chamber of Ministers]], led by the First Minister, and the religious [[Vedek Assembly]], led by the [[Kai]]. It is possible for one individual to be both the Kai and the first minister simultaneously, as Winn Adami almost was in 2371. In 2374, the Bajorans applied for ~~memebership~~ in the [[Federation]], and were admitted in 2380. However, they have since seceded since the start of the [[Federation Civil War]].

	Bajorans resemble [[Human]]s in appearance, and are distinguished by a series of four to seven creases across their noses. The Bajoran heart is mirrored along a horizontal axis, unlike the human heart, which is mirrored along a vertical axis. A puncture in the lower ventricle of the heart will cause instantaneous death.

	The [[Bajoran Religion]] is a major unifying force on the planet; the spiritual leader, or [[Kai]], wields a great deal of moral and political authority, advising and influencing the planet's political leader, the First Minister. The Kai is chosen from a council of [[Vedek]]s, the title given to Bajoran religious leaders. Other religious titles are [[Ranjen]]s and [[Prylar]]s. The Bajoran religion is based upon the revelations of the [[Prophets]], who come to be known as the timeless beings residing in the [[Bajoran Wormhole]], or as it is called by the Bajorans, the [[Bajoran Wormhole\|Celestial Temple]]. Since [[Starfleet]] officer Benjamin Sisko was the first to make contact with them, he is acclaimed by the Bajoran spiritual leadership as the [[Emissary]] of the Prophets. Part of the Bajoran religion involves the use of the [[Tears of the Prophets]], reality-distorting energy orbs produced by the Prophets. Several of these were stolen by the Cardassians during the Occupation, though most have been recovered.
