The leaves are changing color in New Jersey, and some of them are falling off the trees. I've heard of this phenomenon, of course-- it happens in the northern Earth Kingdom, among other places-- but I've never actually seen it for myself until now. Is it common on Earth worlds ( Read more... )

It's common in places with warm summers and cold winters.

And yes, you'll get snow in New Jersey.

OOC: I have just realized I am not in adddictions which would explain why things aren't appearing on my f'list. brb fixing that

peoplesprincess October 1 2009, 18:24:40 UTC

Yes, I know. That's why we don't get it in the Fire Nation; it's hot (or at least warm) all year round.

And a lot of cold, I'm assuming?

adddictions is spammy and amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. 8)

It'll get below the freezing point of water most nights in the winter.

... Freezing?

I just checked the climate data for Trenton. In December, January, and February, the average low temperature is below freezing.

peoplesprincess October 1 2009, 18:40:38 UTC

... Where's Trenton?

honestcop October 1 2009, 18:43:31 UTC

It's the capital city of New Jersey.

peoplesprincess October 1 2009, 18:48:15 UTC

It has a capital? But it's not a country.

honestcop October 1 2009, 18:59:46 UTC

New Jersey is still part of the United States in that world, isn't it? The state capitals manage local affairs, like schools and state-level taxation.

I think that's how it used to work, anyway. It's been a few years since I took world history.

peoplesprincess October 1 2009, 19:01:30 UTC

... I see; so it's done to better delegate things. We have governors of cities and such, but regions don't have their own capitals.

You're from Japan?

honestcop October 1 2009, 19:09:17 UTC

The United States used to have a decentralized power system. Their federal government was intentionally weak and more power was given to the state governments. It worked for some things, but not others.

I'm from Japan, yes. It's 2032 in my world, and our history went differently than for most of the Earths here.

Right; and it's a democracy as well, correct? Both of the major countries on my world are monarchies.

How so?

honestcop October 1 2009, 19:23:53 UTC

Representative democracy, yes. We don't have many absolute monarchies left. They're mostly constitutional monarchies, where the ruler is symbolic and power is vested in a parliament.

Well, here, the US broke up into three separate countries in the 90s, and by 2009 we'd had World War III, which went nuclear.

peoplesprincess October 1 2009, 19:37:46 UTC

Yes, that certainly didn't happen here; it's 2009 now.

"Nuclear"?

honestcop October 1 2009, 19:43:27 UTC

It doesn't seem to have happened anywhere but here.

Extremely high-yield bombs that also have the effect of poisoning the area they explode in.

peoplesprincess October 1 2009, 19:45:34 UTC

What is their purpose, exactly?
