The plains and valleys are populated by the nobles' indentured servants. There are no cities ''per se.'' The population is spread among thousands of agricultural plantations that serve as mini-cities. These plantations consist of living areas, work areas, and support services for the workers. The exceptions are the starports, one strategically located on each continent. The immediate areas surrounding these have grown with cantinas, hotels, and restaurants, but little else. | The plains and valleys are populated by the nobles' indentured servants.

At the top resides [[House Lanaxa]] nobles, followed by minor nobles and affluent citizens, and lastly the indentured servants. To symbolize this system, the nobles live in the highest peaks - or in floating cities - while minor nobles have less impressive residences on the slopes. Affluent citizens live at the base of the mountains and the indentured servants live on the plains and in the valleys. Although technically workers employed by the nobles, most of the servants are little more than slaves, due to the tremendous debts they owe the nobles. | ||

Lanaxa's economy is diversified enough so that when one source lags, the other can make up for it. The fertile valleys and plains toiled by indentured servants produce enough agricultural products to feed all of Lanaxa and then some. The excess is exported to the Par'tha sector markets, mostly to [[Kumauri]], for a slight profit. | ||
Lanaxa has a unique product fast becoming the latest fad in the region. An enterprising company has developed an apparatus to extract water from Lanaxa's copious cloud cover. The resulting water is ultra-pure. The water is bottled and sold under the label "Mistwater" and commands a high price. The process has very little end product, so the company is having trouble supplying the demand as Par'tha's elite craves more of the water. | Lanaxa has a unique product fast becoming the latest fad in the region.
