Risian Hedony

The Risian Hedony is the government of Risa and a Federation Member State. Based on one of the most famous pleasure planets in the Federation, the Hedony worked to encourage the tourism industry that developed from its status by maintaining weather-control grids.

After an extremist group called the New Essentialist Movement temporarilly hijacked the grid in 2373, the Hedony government had a new weather modification network installed; unfortunately, the grid was often malfunctioning by 2375, when Montgomery Scott discovered how to repair the network. The Risian Hedony offered him honorary citizenship in gratitude. (The Future Begins.)
