We made an ideal world book with Peg Gignoux in Language Arts class after reading The Last Cuentista, mine is called Frontier.

Our books also contained stories about what are worlds are, how they function, etc.

My story 👇

My planet, Frontier, is orbiting around the black hole TON 618. My planet is part of a binary planet system, so there are actually two planets orbiting each other, and also, two moons are orbiting the planets. The moons are called Frontier-C-3 and Frontier-D-4. The other planet is Frontier-B-2. No one bothered to give it a cool name because nobody lives on it. Frontier is just above ⅓ bigger than Frontier-B-2. Every once in a while, the moons pass in between the two planets, creating a beautiful image from the ground of the planets. Don’t forget about Maurice.

The terrain on the planet is very mountainous, with mountains stretching for thousands of miles in ridges and valleys worldwide. In the valleys and small openings from the mountains, there are lush green forests with gigantic trees and little animals roaming around the forest floor. Gigantic oceans that cover any part of the world are not forests or mountains.

The forests stretch for hundreds of miles of lush green shrubs, bushes, and leaves on towering trees higher than any skyscraper ever built. The plants are a mix of beautiful flora and fauna, and tiny mouse-like creatures scuttle around on the forest floor in seemingly random directions for no particular reason. Birds come in many sizes, from the size of your pinky finger to the size of an apartment. These birds take on many vibrant colors, such as green, yellow, red, and blue. The birds cause no harm to any world’s inhabitants as they fly peacefully and rest on the canopies of the mega-trees. In these forests, the air is crisp and soothing, and it is accompanied by the slight breeze and rustling of leaves any animals move through them.

Mountain ranges cover thousands of miles of land in mountains higher than any mountain on Earth. In the mountains, it is very cold, along with a strong breeze and thick snow. Almost no animals live up here because the conditions are so harsh on the mountains, but there will be another one of those small mouse creatures every so often. They are different than the ones in the forest because they have adapted to survive the cold and harsh conditions of the mountains. On average, these mountains can be as tall as 15,000 feet to almost 40,000 feet at the absolute maximum. For context, that’s about 480,000 gum-balls. The tallest mountain is called Mount Maurice, the mountain reaches over 39,000 feet tall.

Two major oceans cover almost 60% of the world combined. At the deepest point, they can get to almost 20 miles deep (that’s a lot). The oceans support massive ecosystems of diverse ocean animals, from small schools of fish that inhabit the surface and coral reefs to large spider-like crabs living in trenches at the bottom of the oceans. Along with the mountain ranges above land, some continue underwater into the oceans, creating scenic spots at the top of the mountains where coral reefs are found, and small fish to giant whales inhabit.

On my planet, there are two main sources of energy. The first source is solar energy, which can operate at hundreds of times the efficiency because of the black hole’s accretion disc, which can outshine a galaxy at its brightest. On an average day, solar panels can create upwards of 25,000 tWh of electricity. For context, that’s enough to power the whole earth for a year. The other option is wind turbines, a secondary energy source for when solar panels aren’t producing energy. The wind turbines are only located in mountainous areas about 10,000 feet up, with more powerful winds creating more energy. On a day when all of the turbines are turned on, they can generate upwards of 12,000 tWh of electricity, but on any given day, only about half of the turbines are turned on, producing power that would limit it to 6,000 tWh.

The governmental system is a republic where people elect officials to run the country. Also, at the #1 position in the government, a president represents a political party who got voted in the position by the people. They can serve a 2-year term. When the term is up, there will be a vote on who will be the next president. The vote only happens for one day, and on that day, there is a worldwide off day where everything is closed, except for necessities like hospitals. Many different parties have different goals, so there will always be someone who represents what you want.
