Subject: ADMIN: The Nexus System (Size of Generica)

I would say that Generica has more than 200,000 citizens.  I would
be more willing to say 500,000.  It is a huge city in comparison to
the others of the Known Lands.  I'd say definately 500,000 permanent
residents with the city swelling to at least 800,000 during heavy
trading.

As a referent, didn't London of the 1700's have over a million people?
I think Generica is wealthy and peaceful enough to support these kinds
of numbers.

On the subject of Nexus, I would say that it's larger than Earth (to allow
for additions later).  It should probably be roughly spherical because
none of the travellers have said otherwise.  I do think that we have some
literary licence with the moons though since there are a great variety
of numbers, sizes, and orbits in our own solar system.

I suggest the following: Two moons, one large one, that orbits Nexus
and a small one that orbits the large moon.  To visualize this, equate
Nexus to our Sun.  The large moon is Earth, and the small moon is our
moon.  Earth goes around the Sun.  The Moon goes around Earth.
The large moon goes around Nexus.  The small moon goes around the large moon.

So, what about other planets in the system?  Are there any others that
are inhabited?  What about comets, rings, constellations, etc...

I see another weekly ADMIN post coming on here...

Or I could always add it to the FAQ.
