** The entire planet only uses the metric system.
** Quadrants are integrated into relationships, though people don't have the same pressure at all like they did in Alternia. It's now just the same pressure that everyone needs a partner(s) and that you should stay with them.
** Marriage does not exist on Earth X; once the quadrant is filled, it's simply there as a promise until it becomes a bad situation.
** Schooling is essentially the same structure as humans do it, though none of the original Earth languages exist, instead having Xternian ( Earth X's dialect of Alternian ) and Caraparacian primarily taught. Other Earth languages are seen as dead and are no longer used unless people want to decipher things like they try to do with Latin due to the lack of practice.
** Primary Education Ages - First: 2 tsw = 6 yrs Second: 3 tsw = 9 yrs Third: 4 tsw = 12 yrs
** Secondary Education Ages - Fourth: 5 tsw = 15 yrs Fifth: 6 tsw = 18 yrs Sixth: 7 tsw = 21 yrs
** Furthered/Tertiary Education Ages - Seventh: 8 tsw = 24 yrs Eighth: 9 tsw = 27 yrs Ninth: 10 tsw = 30 yrs (education can continue from this point, but this much is encouraged; Primary-Secondary is required, not Tertiary)
** All lessons have stories and imagery integrated in order to keep the information into the children's heads, that way nothing is just spoon fed to copy down without thinking. Because of this, people advance more intellectually, as well as academically. Technology, history, economics, art, and math (THEAM) are held high and are the major subjects in school. Any sort of large testing is non-existent, as record show that students are pounded with copied and robotic information rather than an actual attempt to express intelligence. Special education programs are also available for students that have certain difficulties or are farther advanced mentally/academically. Students are asked what troubles they're having in their education, that way they can have the difficulties solved by a high professional in the subject(s) they have difficulties in.
** Troll average lifespan: 90-1,000,000,000 tsw (270-3,000,000,000 yrs; depends on blood) Human average lifespan: 90 tsw (270 yrs) Caraparacian average lifespan: 80 tsw (240 yrs)
** Lusii are able to be trained for service beasts if anyone that needs one if they have a disability that is severe enough to require one. They are given for free to the person's choosing, and are given free monthly appropriate food supplies for the lusus, avoiding stress for the person.
** Most diseases have been phased out. Vaccines are stronger and more available to those who were allergic to the ingredients before. Everything medical except for generic medical products (bandages, pain relief, cough medicine, etc) are free of charge.
