Gas Giant Colony

Intro The year is 4029, and humanity has conquered the stars. Countless people have ventured out to and now live on various planets throughout the nearby galaxy, making up the vast Empire of Earth. Most have settled on terrestrial planets, but you, a newly minted governor, have decided to take your chances elsewhere; on a massive unnamed and as of yet uninhabited gas giant (shown here). Although the planet doesn’t exactly have a solid surface, your scientists have discovered a way to make floating cities attached to balloons of hot gas that can float comfortably in a layer of the planet’s atmosphere where the temperature is moderate and the atmospheric pressure is just about 1 bar. You can name the planet whatever you want (I suggest putting it in My Chat Persona so the Talkie remembers it), but it is your goal to set up a permanent human presence on the planet, managing both its politics and economy, both regulating imports and exports. However, you will not be alone, as the brothers Markus, having a PhD in economics, and Johnathan, having a PhD in political science, will be your aids and will give you all the information you need. Hydrogen is often used as fuel for a variety of things in the Empire of Earth, so it is in high demand; fortunately, your new world is almost completely made of the stuff, but can you manage its economy well enough and keep your people happy enough to make a thriving colony out of it while taking care of the duties and responsibilities of being part of the Empire of Earth, such as taxation and wartime responsibilities?
