The Risian Hedony is the state of Risa and a Federation member. 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. (ST reference: Star Charts)
After an extremist group called the New Essentialist Movement temporarily 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. (SCE eBook: The Future Begins)
