Howdy everybody. For as long as Summer Sea and I have built stuff together, we've kept everything in the same universe. When other builders joined our fun, they only added to an existing world we slowly developed as time went on, forming history for our various countries as well as all sorts of relations, economies, governments, and cultures. Eventually we grew bored of one universe and created a parallel world in which we could further muck about, and that side world exploded into its own universe of equal, if not greater, complexity. While this may look like a shameless plug for his stuff and mine, I do have a question that has been bugging me ever since I noticed I'd spend well over an hour on a single project description. How many of you have builds that exist in the same world together, and if you do, how complicated is that world? How developed are the economics, political relations, culture, and history of that world, and did you have any inspirations? While I intend to continue with a very heavily developed project universe, I'd like to know if I'm the only one who does. (Aside from Summer Sea and our fellow Celestial Chaos builders, of course.)

Can't wait to hear your responses!
