Inner Colonies

With the ongoing frenzy to claim star systems for various powers has 
anyone given any thought to which of the powera are present on each 
of the inner colonies? 

The reason I ask is that my putative minor power has a history 
something like this:

At the end of the second solar war an ESU colony on an inner colony 
world rebelled and declared themselves the People's Republic of XXXXX 
(need inspiration with the name). They see themselves as true 
communists...

Appeals to the UN from the other colonies in that system and the 
general weakened state of the ESU at that time prevented a concerted 
effort to retake the colony. ESU pressure prevented the new state 
being represnted in the UN assembly (this continued until the xeno 
war in the 2180s when the UN brought everyone into the fold). 

The colony later grew when the FSE colony on the same world voted to 
join them (the FSE colonial administration had been corrupt and 
joining the communists seemed like a good idea. The FSE got favorable 
access to mining and refueling facilities in the system and got shot 
of a troublesome colony, so everyone came out of the deal more or 
less happy.)

So I need an inner colony. Any suggestions as to which one? Obviously 
the ESU and the FSE will lose any presence in that system. (And I 
prefer there to be no NAC or NSL presence, but could live with it if 
people feel that they should be there.) Indonesian and Scandinavian 
presence would be fit the rest of the background I have, and anyone 
else is welcome to a small colony there as well.

The Republic will have founded one or two colonies, but considering 
how recently the Republic came into existence these are likely to be 
on the outer fringe of human space. Again, any suggestions?
