	Established as an international city-state with the Treaty of New Venice, New Venice remains a bastion of Gaian politics and independence on the shores of Lake Cabot. With the mayor holding total executive powers held in check by an elected fifteen-seat city council, the independent city functions much more like a government in exile than a city government, continuing to maintain public services across the planet, notably the issuance of passports, all on-planet diplomacy, and infrastructure. Gaians cannot be prosecuted for public statements within the city, and this loophole has been used to a great extent by many across both hemispheres to decry the situation many Gaians have found themselves in in the years following the conflict.

			== Economy ==
			The Gaian economy, much like most other human worlds, sits atop four main pillars: Military, Industry, Agriculture, and Services.

			=== Military ===
			Gaia had not possessed an official Military Force since the beginning of the Gaia Conflict, where prior to the dissolution of Parliament, the Gaian Planetary Militia was stood down, with its members returning home or being absorbed into SCG Forces. However the New Venice Constabulary, as the legal arm of the Independent City of New Venice, having morphed into a Gendarmerie following the Conflict, remains for duties left to New Venice following the conflict, most visibly in Customs.

			=== Industry ===
			Gaia's industrial sector is much less expansive as other planets since the Gaian economy is quite easily kept afloat by Agricultural exports, this relegates industry to a supporting role. Mining on Gaia is legally obligated to be as non-invasive as possible, and while some open pit mines exist, most operations are conducted via shaft mines. Refining operations on the planet are primarily in the industrial city of Vulcan, located in the northern Napoleon Mountains, focusing on the transformation of raw ore into usable materials.

			=== Agriculture ===
			The gross majority of the Gaian economy, agriculture is an innate part of the Economy. Gaian agriculture is overwhelmingly comprised of family-ran businesses, with larger families traditionally holding larger swathes of the Gaian agricultural sector. Notably Gaian agriculture runs on some of the smallest recorded margins in human space, with the production capacity of the planet permitting more to be sold for less, and while the Gaian economy has been rocked and battered through the Gaia Conflict, it has been steadily re-approaching it's pre-war level and projections show that it will recover within the next decade.

			=== Services ===
			Steadily growing in recent years, Tourism has been increasing marginally over recent years, with the draw of New Madrid's casino's and resorts having been muted by the overall sour public mood towards the galaxy at large since the conflict. Gaia's financial sector similarly to it's agricultural sector was rocked by the Conflict, with the Gaian National Reserve having disappeared during the conflict (with both the SCG and GCC blaming each other, and the truth yet to be determined), Gaia's banks have begun to recover as New Venice has established itself as a neutral and safe investment location, out of reach of the tax men on Mars and Terra.

Gaia is about one-tenth smaller than [[Earth]], and its nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere is slightly thicker. This makes Gaia marginally warmer and more favorable to farming during all seasons.

			On it's discovery and inital colonization, Gaia lacked any native plant life other then the planet's 'grass'. This prompted a massive forestation and biodiversity campaign in the early decades of the planet's colonies. This campaign saw the planet's orignal grass lost as it was overcome by the invasive nature of brought plant life. Today the campaign is most visible in the planets forests, that while planted in areas to make it look natural, the straight rows of trees still commonly found give away their origin.

	Geographically, the planet has no oceans; however, several areas of the planet possess 'shot lakes,' large groupings of smaller lakes interconnected by streams and rivers. The planet’s largest body of water is Lake Cabot, a large round lake on the planet's equator.
