Doya is a relatively small planet placed in a goldilocks zone owned by CV Entertainment, allowing its upcoming to be original and not from colonization. However, it was originally devoid of people before it came into contact with a corporation that quickly took moves to colonize it- it’s very far from most large star systems so it took many years to locate it.

For the most part, Doya is very flat in terms of terrain, having only one mountain range in the entire world. There were only a few thousand dense forests before cities were built over the flat fields and vegetation. Though most of the forests are gone, many areas are dedicated for preservation and there are hundreds of green areas within city boundaries, thanks to the ruling pair of the planet.

After colonization, Doya became focused on entertainment and mining as the organic life was not useful enough for any proper products other than for local use. Being at such a distance, it was rather expensive to keep direct maintenance running, so recently two women, Herschel and Toria Rhei, were appointed to govern the planet. Officials were stationed around them at all times, and both women were required to give a report of their days every week so that they don’t turn in a wrong direction.

Herschel and Toria are two sisters, both masters in performance arts. Their status and kind temperament quickly made them become extremely popular throughout all of Doya, even eventually drawing in thousands people from outside for their performances. The two of them draw such large crowds that stages were eventually constructed to hold huge masses of people just for them, and their wide range of talents are a massive source of profit for the planet. Additionally, the planet’s low gravity allow for a completely unique amount of creativity for the two. It’s because of their popularity that ruling is much easier for the two, and so they were chosen to help govern Doya.

Since the two of them can’t completely rule a planet by themselves, the sisters have governmental officials placed throughout Doya’s territories who carry out orders based on their command. As Doya is a very valuable planet for entertainment and mining profits, the owning corporation keeps a close eye on these officials as well so that they don’t turn corrupt and potentially ruin the flow of income. However, Herschel and Toria have both easily won over the support of their coworkers, even some of the ones who check in on them, so many of their actions go under the radar- though most of these actions are just so Doya can have more project freedoms without the strict rules of the owners. Even if they were caught, their popularity would create extreme unrest if anything were to happen to them, which could completely destroy the planet’s utility.

The two sisters are very focused on making their people happy. Though making happiness a first priority would ordinarily be a hindrance to income, their popularity and the better atmosphere makes even more people flock to the planet. Tales of the sisters spending days creating movements and donations to those in need are very well-known, and they also are very focused on ensuring that the planet’s future and health is in good terms. Their actions are widely supported by massive populations, making each of their feats accomplishable and quickly completed.

However, despite the Rhei sisters' influences, Doya is not a completely innocent planet. Although the two of them have worked to ease the manual labor, CV Entertainment requires a large quota of production from the planet, and this quota is always inspected during the weekly check-in. Mining is often a common job for many Doyans outside of entertainment because the sisters are forced to meet CV Entertainment's standards. The standards set are not negotiable as CV Entertainment has the planet set on a route to maximum income, so not much can be done. However, plenty of supplies are given to the mining population as a sort of apology from the sisters. Additionally, CV Entertainment has implemented a system where labor replaces jail time, and often CVE officials bend the rules so people can be sent to the mines for potentially multiple years with no pay and only meals. Because this ultimately creates a profit, CVE actually endorses certain corruptions in the system regarding mining. Herschel and Toria are currently in progress of some reformations, but they cannot get the support of their fans because they're contracted to never speak of anything wrong with the planet.

Many regions are actually not dedicated completely or mostly to entertainment, making up about three quarters of the population. Many cities sustain more ordinary lives, most commonly with only a handful of entertainers setting up shows once in a while or performing in the streets. It's from these cities that Doya creates its other exports and functions properly as a somewhat independent planet. There is a common misconception that Doya is completely entertainment based as people almost only travel to the entertainment districts in vacations, which created the stereotype that all Doyans are bards and celebrities who all love performing.

Doya is broken up into multiple districts that each take up regional styles and nationalities. There are many different blends of styles that make up a very wide range of entertainment possibilities. Those in these areas who don’t participate in doing entertainment live alongside everyone else and produce common items and merchandise to be sold, many benefitting from the large tourist crowds. Doya often trades with multiple foreign traders as their large distance sets them slightly behind on new technology and news if they don't do so. Werche hydrophobic woods are often very common, but Doya does not have any relationships with Werche due to the distance between them preventing any direct trade.
