My assumption is that the guy who made this planet was a huge fan of L. Frank
Baum, and his works. If you haven’t read the books, you really should. You can
see the movies, particularly the first one, but everything here is drawn from
the source material. Oz is only one dome, complete with the Emerald City in
the center, and the four countries around it. There’s a so-called Impassable
Desert along the perimeter, but there’s not much to it before you just hit the
wall. Which is fine. I mean, that qualifies as impassable, doesn’t it?
Unless you go through a door. I’m overthinking it. The point is that Oz is
only one dome, but the world of the Baum books includes many other regions on
the planet, and each of them has their own dome too. They’re all on my list,
because my father used to read me the books when I was a kid, multiple times.
And when I grew up, I read them myself. On my way here, I read them yet again
to refresh my memory. Yeah, I could have installed the data into my cybernetic
mind, but there’s nothing like reading the words in realtime, is there? The
bottom line is that this place is perfect for me. It’s as accurate as it can
be given the lack of specifications from the books (which no one could expect
from any writer). It exemplifies the spirit of the original story, I should
say. They had to make their own decisions, and take some liberties, but they
totally nailed it. This. Is. The Land of Oz. Are there some things that I
would change if I could? Sure. Do I wish that they would ask me to help them
make such changes? Yeah, I do. Could I offer my services? Yeah, I guess I
could. I might just do that. They have people work here, right? It’s not
all automated. I might wait just a little bit, though. I should take
notes, and go through the entire thing. I should also wait until I’ve had time
to do the same in the other Baum domes. I wouldn’t dream of telling you what
to do, but you really should check it out. It is great and good.
