[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8352368, member: 87792"] I think the biggest point of disconnect is when you say "infinite" my immediate understanding is "empty to the point of sterility". The planes themselves can be infinite, but the number of people is always going to be countable. Which means that there's an infinite amount of space per person in any of these planes - and it's either going to be more or less empty or in a best case scenario what's there will be procedurally generated. Space may be infinite and if so there may be an infinite number of things in it. But so far as we know all the interesting stuff is in the miniscule amount that's stars or orbiting stars. The rest's just a void. And at a bare minimum? Three. If I was detailing a country I'd want at minimum a capital city and what makes it both distinct and part of the country, a rural community, and probably a small town. These infinite planes are supposedly much much bigger. Which makes just three far more egregious than using just three settlements to represent the whole of Earth. [/QUOTE]
