'''Culture:''' The colonists that settled on Nanaria originated from [[Vaedan]]. Frustrated in their terraforming attempts, the inhabitants have focused their efforts on developing underground cities. Their domed caverns are decked out with atriums, gardens, natural-looking brooks and ponds, plus "outdoor" malls and plazas. They have imported small animals and even low-light intensity plants to inhabit their artificial ecosystem. The ceilings are painted cheery blue and augmented with holography to simulate times of day and seasonal variations. | '''Culture:''' The colonists that settled on Nanaria originated from [[Vaedan]].

'''Government:''' Nanaria is ruled by the Nanaria Trade Cooperative (NTC), which is made up of prominent business leaders. Nominally, everyone on the NTC board has an equal say in how the world is to be governed, but in reality the representatives of [[Staffa Heavy Ores]] dominate proceedings, because it is the mining company which keeps the planetary economy healthy and stable. [[Staffa Heavy Ores|Staffa]] officials seldom throw their weight around - but put a definite stop to anything which might threaten their interests. Brutally, if necessary. | '''Government:''' Nanaria is ruled by the Nanaria Trade Cooperative (NTC), which is made up of prominent business leaders.

'''Economy:''' Nanaria's primary business is mining the ore-rich depths of the planet. In an effort to preserve their precious underground cities, all mining complexes and refineries are located on the surface. The ore is smelted into pure ingots and shipped out to the intergalactic markets. | '''Economy:''' Nanaria's primary business is mining the ore-rich depths of the planet.
