Central Colonised Planets

The Central Colonised Planets are a line of extremely wealthy and highly populated planets running in an apparent line over a distance of four galaxies. People Inhabiting these planets tend to be of high universal importance

Origin and Function
The idea of a continuous line over which to concentrate human wealth was proposed when division began to spread across different wealthy planets all proposing they be considered the centre of human politics. Measures were drawn up to ensure that these planets did not declare themselves financially or militarily independent, possibly igniting civil war and impoverishing human finance.

Examining the typical trade routes employed by merchants transporting wealth across the galaxy a Silk Road was proposed along which vast resources of wealth, culture and information would be traded freely with few legislative sanctions. Mercury, the centre of much activity within the Zoogle Universe is a member of the CCP.

Gamilion Controversy
Many planets wish to be included in the CCP as it adds instant prestige and also significantly increases its GDP by the increased flow of trade.

Gamilion was one of a few planets up for nomination to become one of the CCP, however, it was eventually decided that its considerable distance from more than one wealthy planet prevented it from being any use to the Central Trade Organisation. The Planetary Presidents running Gamilion at the time predicted that the loss of such prestige was likely to ensure the end of their presidential term and so declared independantly that it was a member of the CCP immediately bolstering its dwindling trade income for several years.

Upon investigation into the matter the CTO declared that all wealth recieved during this period was rightfully the property of the CTO and confiscated it. The sudden loss of such a considerable amount of wealth made Gamilion go bankrupt in less than one day. The planet is now destitute and a valued refuge for smugglers and criminals.
