    Oh... Makes sense...
    We all wish to create, but do we really create?
    What we draw and what we write is part of us.
    No we do not create, we simply discover who we are.

    Wow, that is a truly impressive feat! I love how taking the map of the real world and just slightly shifting things can create something feeling entirely different and somehow well-known at the same time! I love your reasoning on how cultures might be changed by the way the land lies. I have made some maps myself based on stories I write and like to consider the lay of the land as well, when determining cultures.

    The text says 5,986 x 10^24 kg - is the comma intended there rather than a decimal? That would be 5.986 x 10^27 kg, more than the mass of Jupiter.

    That's actually a decimal comma, which many languages use instead of a decimal point. Naima is, presumably, a native speaker of one of those languages (namely Italian), so the intended reading is, in fact, 5.986 x 10^24 kg (as it would be written in English).

    That seems to be mixed then, as axial tilt uses a decimal (24.1º) rather than the expected (24,1º)?
