The world is well developed and quite rich with several highports, shipyards, and orbital factories. Most industry is located in orbit and the surface is primarily reserved for residential habitation and tourism. The world's oceans are gorgeous with amazing maritime yachting and teem with delicious sealife foodstuffs. The undersea environment has been extensively inhabited with TL:10-12 and TL:13-15 undersea hab domes. The population is capped by law and it may be challenging to buy property or acquire a residency permit. [3]
