	Earth’s only natural satellite, Luna was the first extraterrestrial body ever visited and colonized by humanity, with the first humans landing in 1969 and the first permanent colonists arriving as 21st century climate refugees. It is the oldest, richest, and grandest of the Alliance’s colonies, and is the location of many government and corporate headquarters. Lunarian cities are known as dome cities due to their domed structure, and are surrounded by rings of subordinate cities known as satellite cities. While the richest here have wealth beyond measure, the Lunarian working class has historically suffered as the moon’s industries have moved abroad and cheaper synthetic labor has replaced them. Above them the middle class toils away at the endless task of maintaining the Alliance’s huge bureaucracy, and worries about losing their livelihoods and being forced into the working poor. The official name of Luna is the '''Sovereign Solarian Federal Republic of Luna'''.

	The Lunarian government is dominated by the richest of its population, with political dynasties having always influenced the moon’s politics. The amount of wealth one needs to enter into the moon’s political scene is prohibitively expensive, and acts as a barrier against non-dynastic political actors entering into politics. Without a significant wealth reserve or a powerful backer, a prospective candidate will simply not have enough cash on hand to get their name out to be heard, and thus voted in. Some seemingly independent actors do enter into its politics, but a savvy Lunarian will easily uncover these seeming independents often have connections to the political dynasties and are only pretending to be free of their influence — a trick often used to subvert a dynasty’s rivals through subterfuge.

	Lunarians are a tightly-knit and somewhat insular people wracked by stark class divisions between the rich, middle, and working class. The rich here are more wealthy than perhaps anywhere else in the modern Spur, but the working poor are just as poor as anywhere else. The richest Lunarians are part of families which have lived on Earth’s only moon since the 21st century and originally arrived as climate refugees, and upper-class families are known to spend extravagant sums of money to have their entire family trees charted out and known. Members of the middle and working class lack the obsession with pedigree, having neither the desire nor the resources to carry out these projects.

	While humanity has been obsessed with Earth’s moon for untold millennia before the invention of the most primitive spacecraft, historians generally regard the modern era of Luna as beginning on July 16th, 1969 - when American Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first humans to ever land upon another celestial body. These pioneers were quickly followed in late 1970 by the Soviet N1/L3 Soyuz 7K-LOK “Pervoprohodets” mission, which landed the third group of humans on the Moon. The “Moon Race” would continue for the rest of the 20th century and result in the first permanent settlement on Luna by the early 1980s - the Soviet “Zvezda” moonbase. The Moon Race ended in an arguable draw in the early 21st century, due to increasing economic instability on Earth.

	The only natural satellite of [[Earth]], '''Luna''' is humanity’s oldest colony and one of its richest. The moon was originally settled by many wealthy climate refugees during the 21st century, and its influence continues with significant corporate presence even in the aftermath of the nationalisation of megacorporations withiin the [[Sol Alliance]]. Cities on Luna are often partially underground due to the planet’s lack of an atmosphere, but many great domed cities exist on Luna as well. The primary language of Luna is either Sol Common or Tradeband, depending on which Lunarian one asks.

	Hangzhou's architecture is quite modernist, though takes influences from Chinese architecture and styles. Some buildings, such as Zeng-Hu offices, possess traditional courtyards known as siheyuan which are always oriented symmetrically and facing south. Overhanging tiered roofs of glass and steel adorn skyscrapers, which are designed on the interior according to the principles of fengshui (though some question the applicability of fengshui principles given there are few mountains, bodies of water, or weather to orient buildings around).

	Gagaringrad, on the other hand, is a perfect example of Soviet brutalism. Concrete, squarish structures dot most of the city, and while many non-Gagariners see the structures as oppressive, some city-dwellers claim brutalism in the maintained climate of a dome is perfect for the longevity of the buildings. The closer one gets to the centre of Gagaringrad, or the more important the purpose of the building, the more classical elements a building may have to it, such as decorative lines and more variety in construction material. In front of the city hall of Gagaringrad sits the Wall of the Heroes; a bas-relief depicting Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, Ivan Pesyk, the first Soviet on the moon, and Melina Kiselyova, the first female ~~Soviet astronaut~~.
