Hope

Hope was the first of the dome settlements, and its main purpose is agricultural production. Vast fields of gratta (a crop similar to sorghum that is grown in nearly every settlement) are grown here and provide the majority of the excess food stocks that are redistributed among the dome settlements as needed. It is also the most populous of all the settlements.

The government is ran by a council of elected officials who come from the common folk. They decide everything with lengthy debate and votes. Some of the wealthier farmers of Hope bend the ears of the councilors a little too much for the liking of the common folk, but most find their rulings fair.
