Proxima Sol Economic Zone

The Proxima Sol Economic Zone (PSEZ) is a colonial possession of the Principality consisting of a spheroidal volume of space bounded on its outer edge halfway between the orbits of Mercury and Venus and on its inner edge by the surface of the sun. It is an economic zone, that is, a territory not intended for long term or permanent habitation and settlement, but rather its economic potential. In the case of the PSEZ, this is as a resource depot, with the planet Mercury being of particular interest to the future development of the Pillow Fortress's space exploration programs.
