First, I need to mention that I'm not on Earth anymore. And I am on a completely different planet called Aurora.
Aurora has two suns shining on it during the day and three moons appearing at night, compared to the single sun and moon the Earth has.
Knowing this, I don't know if this place is still in the same galaxy as Earth. And honestly, it could even be in a completely different universe.
The planet only has one main continent, which is as big as the entirety of Asia, and some other small islands surrounding it. That one continent is also called Aurora, since back in the day when the inhabitants of this world named everything, they didn't know the existence of planets, and just called the plane they lived in as Aurora.
The world has a rather low population of both human beings and demi-humans; the term beings that are only part human are referred to as in this world, compared to Earth.
The entire population of the world consists of only a bit more than a billion people, and 99% of those people live on the main continent.
While the rest, treat the surrounding small islands as holiday homes or retirement facilities, like the Bahamas or Florida, and reside there.
Now, let's talk about one of the most abnormal aspects of this world.
The weather and climate.
Apparently, the continent is split into multiple small regions, which all have their own type of weather and ecosystem.
For example, there's a small region in the south that is always snowing like a tundra. But right beside and to the west of that place, is another region, which is as dry as a desert and has the same vegetation a desert would have.
I was confused about how two regions that were at the same latitude, and so close to one another, could have such extreme weather conditions while reading the novel. But the contents of the novel, never really mentioned the scientific reason behind that, and only said that certain demi-humans, prefer to live in certain areas due to preferable climate and environmental conditions.
So, each region is mostly populated by a certain species of demi-humans, or a group of them that have similar preferences for where they would like to live.
Most of the continent, is split into these regions where specific races reside, and is how the majority of the population is divided into two, based on landmass.
But there is a single place on the continent where all kinds of species come together and live in harmony, without grouping with their own species, which is the capital city of Eden, present near the Northern Shores.
It's a megacity in the North, that consists of ten percent of the entire population, even though its area of landmass, is only 5% of the entire continent.
From what I found out, it's basically the New York City or California of this world, where everyone in the world wants to move, since it's the cultural and technological hub of the world.
It is what they call the epitome of a modern society, possessing the peak of whatever is already present in this world. From being the place where cutting-edge technology that can save numerous lives of patients is made; to giving birth to all the newest fashion or food trends, that are prevalent throughout the Continent.
The Capital of Eden is the powerhouse state, that runs most of the continent's economic rise.
It's such a significant landmark that, even most celebrities of this world, like singers, actors, and politicians, live in the capital. And almost all major companies bases of operations are situated in Eden.
Because of that, all the people living on the continent who have massive dreams and aspirations of making it big in life, move to the capital to succeed in their goals, which makes the capital the ultimate central hub of the world.
The world itself is actually just like Earth and lives in the age of smartphones, AI, democracy, gender rights, etc.
I would actually even say that Earth is a bit behind compared to Aurora, as there are better systems implemented here that support the livelihood of the people, like free medical healthcare and education, and low rates of corruption and criminal activity.
It's like the ideal world the people back on Earth are still trying to achieve, with a steady population rate and little to no large-scale man-made disasters like pollution outbreaks and constant war.
The people of this world have somehow built a system, where all of those problems can be monitored and avoided.
And not to mention, that not only are they ahead of Earth in terms of paving the path for a better future, they are also more technologically advanced.
They don't have talking robots that cook your dishes or flying cars, like one would think about when they imagine a technically advanced civilization. And rather have, advanced technology that helps the numerous races that live here, have a better and more convenient life.
Like for example, there are long streches of canals that travel under the city for any race that prefer traveling in water then land, that work like underground subways. Or how there are specialized private vehicles that transport races like lamias and centaurs who struggle to get in normal cars and bikes.
There are even multiple brands and companies, that cater to the requirements of a specific race.
If you're from the ogre race, and have body that's bigger then the average human, then there's a chain of shops that sell clothing, specially tailored for the ogre race. Or if you're a centaur, and can't take a shit in a normal western toilet, then there's a company that sells toilets, specifically made for accommodating a centaur's body.
Just like that, the whole continent is full of measures and innovations that help all the races here, live a convenient life, that differs no less than the average human's.
It's quite fascinating to think that they've managed to make life easy for everyone and have a peaceful society, even though they've got over a hundred different races. While Earth is still trying to figure out how to stop hate crimes based on race, when they only have a few races in total.
It honestly makes me want to stay in this world where I feel more safe, rather than go back to that mess of a planet, that's going to self-implode on itself one day.
Sigh...That's enough sucking another world's dick, and shitting on my own planet for the day. I need to move on.
