Earth

Full map of Earth

**Earth** is the name for the planet based in the *Skies Ablaze* novel series, an alternate-universe setting. It is nearly identical to our real world, asides from landmasses and historical events.

**Earth** has gone through many different variations throughout the years, from resembling much of our real worlds landmasses conjoined into different orientations into something that at least looks original at a glance. Much of the history present largely takes place in the early 1900s to the mid-2020s.

## Composition

Earths surrounding mirror our own universes own. The Solar System the Earth resides in mirrors our own, as well as the constellations, position in the galaxy, etc.

Earth in this universe, while similar, is different than our own. Cultures, climates, landmasses, and events in history are different than our own. Similarities are however present. Like our universe, humanity dominates this Earth, the concept of time is the same. Time's of peace exist like our own, but there is always conflict brewing somewhere.

Earth has eight continents spread across its surface, which have a variety of countries within.

### Brina

No nations exist on Anartica, and research stations from various nations exist on the continent.

The climate in the northernmost island, Caradia largely consists of wet and cold winters, hot summers, and a high amount of precipitation that dwarf the rest of the planet. The southernmost island, Baja, has hot and dry weather, and a large portion of it being a desert. A small portion of the island is a tropical paradise. The continent like Brina, is only home to a handful of nations, as well as an international Demilitarized Zone:
