History of Venus
Venus is the designated oasis of the Sol System. Its ability to foster and preserve life is unprecedented, with five native sophonts and millions of other identified lifeforms.
The tropical climates draw in hundreds of millions of tourists yearly. Venus is often in people's bucket list; most visit the planet to seek out foreign cuisines and cultures.
With just over fifteen billion people on the planet, Venus is the third most populated planet in the Sol System, behind Jupiter with seventy billion, and Saturn, with sixty-two billion
