Geography

Consisting mostly of landmasses dotted with lakes, also sometimes dubbed "inner seas". A large mountain range is following the planets equator, while both poles are large round bodies of water, several kilometers deep

Fauna & Flora

Flora is diverse on both sea and land, with a huge number of species of grasses and fungi, there are only a few original tree-like plants left, and even these remains are being pushed out by the more profitable, genetically altered earth trees such as pines. While in the water, the fauna is extremely diverse ranging from small almost microscopic plankton to mid-sized water creatures. while the land is inhabited by only a few species of herbivores no larger than a rabbit and 2 species of carnivores around wolf or fox sized.

Natural Resources

The planet is exporting a lot of its original water creatures to serve as food or entertainment, the market for the fish is quite high and multiple projects for mass breeding are underway. Ore deposits are mostly consisting of nickel, silica, and cobalt, despite this seemingly low ore concentrations, localized mining in order to sustain the planet with local recourses is funded by the government. The second biggest industry on the planet is the forestry industry, because of the enormous wet landmasses mass growing of earth trees as well as local hardwoods on some isolated cases.
