He was a foreign man, after all. An alien, technically.<br/><br/><span style="color: #40FF00"><span style="font-style: italic">“Tell me more about your place. How you live, how your society is build, what you folks do for a living? Are there kings or queens? Are there dangers? I guess there are, otherwise you wouldn't need military? I am curious and I want to understand you better. It is not easy to know how people look at things, look differently at them, when you have no idea what they see when they look at it,"</span></span>Gleywine request and Ernest gave a humorless laugh.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFBF00">"Our world has a rather turbulent history that would take years to go over--but at the moment we are a united world, without Kings or Queens. We have a government that the people choose to govern. The people who govern change every few years to ensure no one gains too much power. We have four sections of it, of course--as the world is far too big to operate as a single unit. Each section has its own military. The reason for this is because of the dangers we have in our world. Other than regular natural disasters such as severe weather and things of that nature, we have terrorists. People who desire to induce fear into others in order to get their way. The military combats that, protecting civilians the best they can and ensuring peace. Cities all have various types of production they focus on, and then we have jobs that every city has--such as educators, emergency forces, doctors, things like that...We have many people--far more than our world should probably support.,"</span>Ernest explained.<br/><br/>He took a moment to think, wondering what else he could tell Gleywine. It was probably odd to him that civilians and military were on the same plane.<span style="color: #FFBF00">"Transportation has become difficult due to the amount of people we have and the amount of products that have blocked road ways and such. So the sky has become the main way of travel, but even then it becomes difficult and there are too many people. The military has their own ways of travel that are not clustered as civilians are, and so the military will sell seats in their planes for civilians to take for a good bit of money. It's worth the amount you spend if you are in a rush, but if you have time--it's preferable to just take a civilian transport,"</span>by the end of Ernest's explanation, he sighed. If he hadn't been so impatient to see his children, perhaps he would not be in Getalia. But, maybe fate had brought him here for a reason, who knew?
