    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).

    No, it would be : 5 986 x 10^24 kg
    With an non-breaking space in between.

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