Walmart is a planet in The Rim.
Walmart is primarily known for its iconic company, Walmart, which operates a chain of retail stores and real estate properties across the Core, The Rim and New Daonlathas.
History
Walmart was initially founded as a private planet of the Mart family, a noble and locally important lineage that still holds the ceremonial title of “Duke/Duchess of Walmart”. Their economy, in their beginnings, was primarily made of agriculture and mining. However, the Mart family invested on their now famous Walmart Company in order to increase their profits, setting business-friendly policies. Their investment worked, and the modern economy of Walmart is centred on this company, as well as finance, agriculture and mining.
During the Democratic Revolution, the Mart family actually refused to get its planet involved in the war, something which enraged the Imperial government. In retaliation, the autocrats nationalized the Walmart Company, causing the Mart family to defect to the rebellion. It was one of the main covert financial backers of the revolutionaries, and today this family is remembered as one of the “Financial Heroes of the Revolution” for their contributions. After the war, the company was returned to the Mart family, and it stills owns it today with a 51% controlling stake. However, the Walmart government proper controls a 30% stake in the company, as it has gradually bought parts of it in the “local interest” of the Walmartian people. Apart from local taxes, some of the profits from the company also go directly to funding the government as a result, giving the locals a luxurious lifestyle comparable to the Core.
Geography
Walmart is a temperate planet. It has a small tourism industry thanks to its lush forests and mountains in the frigid south, but nothing else of note. It looks a lot like Earth in terms of climate, except for the more southern areas, which is colder than the rest of the planet due to the planet’s tilt.
Planetary Behaviour and Characteristics
Walmart has a rotation of 56 hours, forcing locals to either rely on the Imperial standard, or use their planet’s hours instead.
Walmart’s orbit is 11,368 days, forcing locals to rely on the Imperial standard, usually. This is abnormally long for a planet, but the planet’s tilt saves most of it from ~7-8 years of winter. Instead, the more southern regions take the hit, suffering from winter more than the rest of planet.
Walmart’s atmosphere is also composed of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, xenon, helium, and trace amounts of methane and ammonia.
Walmart is 0.62x the size of Earth.
Satellites
Walmart has three satellites: Asda, Seiyu and Beprind. None of these are visible during the night.
