- Mid-22nd century: Relations with Antarbegin to finally normalize (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
Locations
Surface
- Single continent, akin to Pangaean era of Earth (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Geographical structure leads to intense regular monsoons year-round (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Inner portion of continent largely uninhabitable prior to irrigation, due to outer edge of continent serving as natural storm break for innermost regions (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- 90% of continent uninhabited by 2165 (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Eastern seaboard often struck by massive hurricanes (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Initial settlement largely exclusively in southwestern coastal forests
- Exclusive habitation in coastal regions led to extremely high population density (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Overall average population density 2165 of approximately 1200 people per square kilometer in inhabited regions (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- High density and extreme climate resulted in general perception of integration with rather than domination over ecosystem, guiding industrial progress thusly (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Most buildings for communal purpose rather than private ownership
- Extended waking cycle resulted in less need for private residences for personal safety during sleeping periods, leading to a general perception of communal ownership of property, construction (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Private property tends towards work areas, storehouses, or "nests" devoted to annual hibernation, but few to no permanent residences (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Central Desert (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Gronim City (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Gronim River (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
