Planet Zuhurus

Zuhurus is a cold Terrestrial Planet located not far away from Y-Majoris, although the exact location is not publicly available.

Biological Composition
Although Zuhurus might appear as a cold wasteland resembling the arctic of Earth, Ocean life in Zuhurus is Thriving with many Amphiboid species on which the Inhabitants of Zuhurus rely on as the most effective food source.

There are plants on the surface of Zuhurus that provide oxygen, they look Identical to tree trunks similar to those on Earth and Arin, but they do not have leaves or branches. The Plants are spike-shaped tree trunks curved pointing down at the ground

No grass or moss is present on Zuhurus, only thick snow covering most of planet's surface. It's still debated whether there is similar plant-life in deep oceans of Zuhurus.

Human Population
Zuhurus is habitable if surroundings are used efficiently. Currently about 40m+ People live on Zuhurus, but roughly 500 years ago it was home to 120~ Million people

Natural resources
Zuhurus was used by the United States as an excess source of coal used to heat colonial settlements, however, they weren't aware of Vespine oil that is used to travel faster than the speed of light, which was hidden deep under the planet's surface. Only the separatists know of the Vespine oil in Zuhurus

History and Independence from United States
Zuhurus was first touched by humans in 3400s. The United states saw that Zuhurus could be used as good fuel source. Millions of people were repeatedly sent to the Icy planet as form of Exile due to their "Criminal" Activities, but in reality, many of those sent to Zuhurus were actually innocent. The United states sent this many people to avoid over-population with compensation of gathering resources using the people as slaves until they die. Roughly 70 million people perished on the Planet.

But few centuries later, United states was pressured to abandon Zuhurus due to the debt they were facing. Zuhurus was not that much of an Important planet to the US for they weren't aware of any other resources there other than large deposits of Coal.

Remaining survivors on Zuhurus managed to start a small society there, building settlements suitable for heating and artificial farming inside.

Zuhurus is still de jure a part of the US, although the only figures who know about the planet's whereabouts are the high ranks of the US and separatists, which leaves the planet very Isolated from the rest and in safety.

Society and Lifestyle
Ethically, the people are mostly of Asian-European mixed origin and use a distinct English dialect as their main language of communication with each-other. Very little speakers of their native languages remain.

Their ways of life are somewhat similar to Inuits who used to inhabit the Earth's arctic. They rely a lot on fish, but also use artificial farms indoors to maintain population and food.

There are many different cities/societies scattered along the super-continent's shores all are aware of their existence though do not have any contact and much knowledge of each-other. The terrain prevents efficiently reaching other settlements, so they all stick to theirs.

Many people on the planet use local radio and even television.
