Joy Heaven
On Islas, people wear simple clothes, live to be productive, and follow rules. Joy Heaven is Islas’s alter ego.
It is also the only one of the Five Worlds that was made from scratch. Some people suggest that it is more a space station than a planet, or that it is Islas’s dog since it follows the larger planet around in its orbit. Others say it is way too large to be a station, and that its atmosphere makes it a planet. In our opinion, it is a planet because it has the political influence of a planet. It has a military force, rules and laws, and citizens who are clearly not crew.
Joy Heaven is the smallest of the Five Worlds, and has the fewest people who live there all the time. But at any given moment, it may be behind only Islas and Silver’s Home in current population. After all, while Islas was dreamed up for safety and productivity, its people birthed Joy Heaven for happiness and pleasure. One of the dictates of Joy Heaven is that what happens there stays there. A crime committed on Joy Heaven can be prosecuted there, but nowhere else. A dalliance between two heads of state will go un-reported, as will a dalliance between a ship’s captain and a serving wench from his bar.
