Hatty Planets: Post Your Planet of the Hats Here

OK, after looking over both of the wishlists, which now have entries for a revised Space Atlas line, it got me thinking about a possible Space campaign. One of the ideas I've had, while potentially very interesting is too short even for a Pyramid article, but I thought the form goers might get a laugh out of it. And that lead to the thought that a thread full of such planets might be interesting, something like the Reality Seeds thread.

Ever notice how when the concept of rebellion/revolution/independence is brought up in sci fi there's a good it will be linked to the American Independence in some way? Either by using that event to justify this one and/or using well known text from that, well Gliese 380 is my parody of that.

Gliese 380 was settled early on the second wave of human colonization and rushed the process to becoming a full member of the Human Confederation in hopes that it would boost the economy. While Gliese 380 now has a Representative in the Confederation Assembly, due to the world's low population she holds but a single vote and is not courted except in the closest of ballots. As a result of this a fringe fraction is calling for Gliese 380 to secede and is using the American Independence as it's justification, complete with re-issuing the propaganda, making them something of a laughing stock.
