Economy
The planet has benefited from this reputation. Even though Ningxia has large diamond deposits worth millions, many highly placed politicos, including the present Coordinator, want the planet to retain its pristine, pastoral beauty. Many rich politicians and business leaders have houses along the shore of the ocean.
Ningxia supports a large spaceport on an island near New Zephyus. Because this ancient facility's machinery chronically breaks down, there have been several major disasters in recent years. The machinery needed to repair the facility is better used elsewhere, and so the planet is having trouble shipping its foodstuffs out to needy worlds.
Ningxia Foods, a major food producing
company on the planet, has resorted to having its freighters land directly on
its farms to load up cargo. This has angered many people, who worry that other
companies will copy the practice, eventually marring the world with scorched
earth, noxious fumes, and toxic wastes.
Geography
A small agricultural planet, Ningxia has only one large city - New Zephyus, the Prefecture capital. Located on a large rocky, forest covered island in the planet's only ocean, New Zephyus is well known throughout the Combine for the beauty of its ukiyo. The saying is that on Ningxia, one can satisfy one's hunger, and in New Zephyus, one can satisfy all one's aesthetic and sensual desires
