General Planet Climate: Hot and arid. This is very, very little water on the planet. It has to be imported for any life to be sustained. Also, there's no oxygen. Everyone lives undergroundin shelters.
Population Levels: Sparse.
Standard of Living: Moderate. It's cramped, but when you're surrounded by gold, you can't really say you're poor.
Main Export: Gold. There is are great quantities of gold under the surface of Duette. While gold isn't quite as valuable as we would consider it today, it still holds value as a luxury metal.
Relation to the Central Government: The central government takes a lot of the gold that gets mined on Duette, which causes minor to moderate unrest among the workers. However, the workers are still fairly well compensated for their dangerous and tiring work, and are regularly paid in gold rather than credits.
Religion: Any religion can be practiced, but it had better not have anything against the love of gold.
Planetary Culture: Everything revolves around the mines and the gold. After all, why else would anyone come to a planet with no water and no oxygen? Gold is made into all sorts of decorations and it is put to every use imaginable.
Other History: No one is quite sure how the shelters came about. All anyone knows is that when the government announced that it had discovered a planet that seemed to be full of gold, the shelters weren't there. Then, the next month, when the first settlers arrived, there were some shelters, which people have been expanding ever since.
