Planetary Data
Geographic Data
Daisy is slightly smaller than Earth, with an equatorial diameter of just over 12,200 km, and a surface gravity of 0.95g. The atmosphere, while close to Earth-standard pressure (1.2atm at sea level), is heavily polluted, so much so that a thick haze is visible from space above the horizon. Water covers approximately 72% of the surface.
Demographics
98 million people live in Daisy's sealed cities. The culture is closed to outsiders, leading many people to regard them as unpleasant.
Economics
Daisy puts out a large swath of industrial components, which earns the planet enough to afford what little outside assistance it needs. Almost all of Daisy's food is grown locally, in vats and tanks.
The citizens' mastery of indoor growing techniques has led to a hobby market for genetically-engineered organisms. Officially, Daisy is not authorized to export any of these creations, but they do disappear from time to time.
Politics
Daisy's citizens have been described in other travel documents as "insular". The people are open and honest with each other, but spiteful and distrusting of offworlders.
The people's monomania toward their own superiority has transformed their culture into a strange "me-first" society where the only laws are imposed by starport officials (who can call in outside intervention). This situation has stabilized itself only because Daisy's economic system automatically requires the people to work for the credits that fuel their hobbies. This includes the planetary governor, whose salary is the same as anyone else (since he does the same amount of work as any other citizen).
Travellers' Information
Advisories
Daisy's atmosphere is an noxious haze of poisoned air that is unbreathable without a filter, though any exposure is not recommended.
Discussing the environment outside of the domes, lack of knowledge concerning the latest local genetic tinkering, and wearing anything other than the most recent (local) fashions all mark travellers as suspect.
