Venus in AELSS

Thousands of years ago, Venus was terraformed to Earth-like conditions. It is politically divided into two nations, Ishtar and Aphrodite. Ishtar in Earth politics favors the Eurasian Dominate while Aphrodite is aligned with the Pan-American Collective. The two nations occasionally have shooting wars with each other, but the ruling Senate on Mercury (see Mercury in AELSS) usually sends in diplomats to resolve the conflicts.
