Aotearoa

Aotearoa (pronounced Ow-uh-tee-ah-row-uh) is a planet of the Austronesian Vanguard.

Known within the Vanguard as the "land of ten thousand islands", Aotearoa does in fact have an abundance of islands over its surface. The actual total is significantly higher, as there aren't many that qualify as continents by other metrics, and most of the islands aren't very large.

One of the most unique features is the considerable number of atolls across the planet. These were used initially for breeding algae blooms before unleashing them into the ocean to better assist human life in creating a useful ecosystem. Since then, they have been converted into massive rice paddies for food production.
