The Andromeda Galaxy and Beyond
The people who have colonized Earth-II have determined the form of government they want. It is definitely democratic with a parliamentary form of government. Even though there are individuals who want their economic system to be capitalistic, the vast majority of the people want a more socialistic economic system. The six original crew members—Wil, Jen, Jon, Betty, Fred, and George—decide to further explore the universe, including the Andromeda Galaxy. Because their spaceship can accommodate a total of 106 individuals, they ask an additional one hundred individuals to join them. While they are exploring the universe, the people on Earth-II start exploring not only the middle continent on which they are living but also the northern and southern continents. They are surprised by what they find on these two continents.
