Surface

Stylised rendition of the most known inhabited areas of Surface.

Surface is the name given the planet most of the population of Mankind lives on.

Explorers and scientists have for long attempted to map out all of Surface, as well as the varying mechanics of it, with little success. While assumed we live on the surface of a large planet in space--as celestial bodies are observed to move around Surface, granting us both a stable day/night cycle as well as distinct seasons--geometric measurements often conflict with empiric observations and planetary calculations. No actual proof of the planet's shape or size has ever been made, even after the invention of satellites; some areas seem to render satellite communications, and telecommunications in general, unusable.
Areas that are rumoured to lie beyond observable terrain are named Far Lands.

Assumed to be directly underneath Surface is The Nether; a vast, sunless area completely isolated between layers of impenetrable rock. The only known nation in this area is Nozahi, but no reliable method of transportation to this area is available.

Rumoured, unconfirmed areas whose location is unknown include The End and The Godrealms.

Inhabitations

Surface holds many nations, each with distinct calling codes and country codes.

• Ihazon, capital: Langenthal
• Thoiria, capital: Landesgarten
• Sas, capital: Langenthal City (Tog SAS)
• Tekkea, capital: Langenthal City
• Radosis, capital: Capu Terram
• Lettusland, capital: Capitallettus
• Misthliþ, capital: Beácenstán
• Shaan Xiin, capital: Shàolín Zhii Xiin

Physical properties

Despite thorough investigation of the physical properties of Surface, few conclusions have been made, as some observations contradict each other. For example, the sun always moves across the sky from east to west, and due to the distinct lunar phases the moon goes through, mathematical equations indicate the most logical explanation being our planet revolving around the sun, and the moon revolving around our planet. However, while this would indicate our planet being spherical in shape, observations of this curvature has not been made. The best efforts at measuring the shape of our planet have resulted time and time again with an almost perfect grid-like shape. It is possible the surface of our planet is simply too large for our observed areas to indicate a curvature, but this brings up the question of just how large our planet really is.

The largest problem with physically observing the planet is what has been named The Border Effect. This is an unexplained phenomena that prohibits all forms of communications to Far Lands. It is observed to render electronics, including all forms of telecommunications, entirely unusable, as well as inflict a mysterious illness on those who have crossed The Border Effect and managed to return alive.
Throughout time, many have tried to venture towards Far Lands, yet very few have ever returned.

Trivia

• There are three Langenthal cities for some unknown reason. Whoever came up with these names must've been really lazy.
