Abzu

Abzu is the moon of Tiamat , located in the Alpha Centauri system around Rigil Kentaurus (Alpha Centauri A). It is a small desert world, with a thin atmosphere steadily being syphoned away by Tiamat. Abzu has several colonies, similar to how Mars was initially settled. It remains in close connection with its parent planet, both being heavily colonised.
Much of Abzu's development and infrastructure lies under the surface, built in valleys and cracks across the landscape. Abzu is not united, instead the planet is divided up between four independent states, the Abzu Democratic Republic, the Democratic Republic of Abzu, the People's Republic of Abzu, and the People's Democratic Republic of Abzu. This confusing, impractical, and downright ridiculous approach to naming their nations has caused significant frustration to the United Nations of Sol, as each state is granted representation. For most of Sol, this situation is rectified by addressing each state as Abzu A, Abzu B, Abzu C, and Abzu D. The people of Abzu do not like being reduced to simply a letter, but they also refuse to change their confusing names.
