Yeah, that’s cute and all but then it starts raining and the whole experience becomes miserable. I’ll happily take “public transit that’s nice to use in any weather” over “public transit that is aesthetically pleasing when it’s sunny out”.

There are islands out there. If you truly think you would prefer that life you can just… go do it.
You don’t even need an island. You could wander off into the jungle of Vietnam and never hear from society again.
There are actually 4 states that were independent countries at one point or another.
Hawai’i
Texas
California
Vermont
You’re correct that Jupiter is the brightest object in the night sky besides (obviously) the sun and the moon.
The brightest star is Sirius, near the constellation Orion.
Polaris is absolutely NOT the brightest star in the sky. Not even close.
How to actually find it: Find the big dipper (I know you know what it looks like). Take the two stars at the front end of the “cup” part. Draw a line through them “up” and out of the cup until you hit a star. That’s it.
Have you played Caesar 3 with the Augustus mod? Its like a whole new game. It adds a ton and there’s even a whole fan-made campaign.
