In terms of environments? My people lived on a desert planet, thus I find the heat and sandy environments to be the closest to home. Otherwise, I have no preference.
I am unfamiliar with that place. It does not sound like the Earth I am familiar with. How is it possible that the districts are different climates? Is the district designation of importance?
It is far. If one were to travel at the speed of light, it would take sixteen years to traverse the distance. We have developed technology that enables us to travel much faster than that.
People live on many different planets in our galaxy. Humans have spread out from Earth, and many of the planets we encountered were already inhabited.
My planet was destroyed by a madman bent on revenge.
Before Panem was formed, there were droughts and disasters and war and the ocean rose and swallowed most of the old nations. Some of the country is warm, some is cold, part of it is forest, my part is desert. They made the best of what was left.
I think they named us as we joined the country? They don't teach that part.
[ unfortunately, a lot of the specific details are lost to time and in the interest of keeping the people in the dark. Cash only knows what she learned in school, which is missing some significant chunks.
the light years and space travel is, quite honestly, kind of over her head. how fast does light travel? how are people able to travel that fast? how can people travel faster than that?? she'd ask but the last thing he says derails that train of thought. ]
[ While Vulcans might be a mystery to most of the rest of the galaxy, to their people their history is well-known, carefully documented and remembered. But he is not unaware of worlds that exist with little information and worse: secrets they keep from their citizens. ]
That is unfortunate, that they do not teach such facts. But lack of access to pertinent details often helps keep people repressed.
Not too often, as the Federation does not trade or seek alliances with people who endorse slavery or other such forms of repression. But there are some planets out there where it is common, mostly among our enemies.

Where is home for you?

District One, Panem, on Earth. The other districts are different climates.
Is 16 light years far? Do people travel to different planets? Did something happen to your home?

I'm sorry about your home.
apologies for the lateness of this reply! ;;

Your sympathies are appreciated.
