Hi All,
1) Some people have asked me about why I have a Bishop of Venus in my story when Venus clearly isn't part of England and someone noted that there 42 Dioceses and not 60. My answer is why does the Church of England have a Bishop of Europe? There's 60 Dioceses because, like Venus, they are extra-planetary. They didn't become part of the 'Anglican Communion' as separate entities, because the Church can't afford to let them go because of their income, trust funds and legacies. For example Venus has always had a tiny proportion of Anglicans relative to its population, about 1 million, but just as Venus is one of the richest states in the Earther Union, so those 1 million contribute billions to the Church's Treasury. A communicant in the English Dioceses gives on average about £10 a week, a Venusian communicant about £10,000 a week.
2) Why is the currency the pound and not the dollar? The currency is officially called PFY a combination of the Pound, Franc and Yen, the currencies of the founding members of the Earther Union after world war three in 1962, as America didn't join until 1974 (the Israeli currency was the Israeli pound, Lira is another word for pound and so did the commonwealth use pounds, New Zealand, Australia and not dollars except for Canada and the Caribbean) . It's shorthand that we say pounds or use the £ sign. As for understanding prices, divide anything I use by 25, so if your salary is £25,000 it would be £625,000 in 2120.
3) Why Birmingham as the Capital City? Why not.
