Okay so I've been here a few weeks now and I have some questions I REALLY want answers to.

1. How many people are from a place called Earth?
2. If you are does it have Gundams?
3. If it does what do you use your Gundams for?

So far it seems like there's at least THREE Earths with all different things and they're obviously real to the people who are from there. With the same continents and all but everything else is DIFFERENT and I don't get it at all! So I'm trying to get answers to make it seem less crazy.

ALSO: Is there any way to make Stacy pop someone out of the pods that you know is there or does she just decide that on her own?

So peace is maintained, and governments decided not through ideals, policies, or even the will of the people, but by brute force and beating your opposition into submission?

That is what you use your Gundams for?

What?? No it isn't like that! Nations elect the president or however they do it. The Gundam Fight is there to keep them from fighting each other over dumb stuff like what used to happen all the time.

I mean MAYBE you could say it's by brute force but the only Fighters who win are the ones who REALLY understand what fighting is all about!

How does that even work? Either the nations of the ESF elect their own president and your Gundam Fight is pointless symbolism, or the nation that wins your tournament is in charge of the ESF and any election is simply to install a figurehead.

Which is it?

No listen. Here's how it works.

[...Man if she knew she'd have to defend the way her world works to some Gundam snob stranger from a different Earth, she'd have paid more attention in history class.]

Each nations's got its own government that has a president or a king or whatever and does all the governing stuff with trade and all. But back in the old days nations would always fight over stupid things like land or religion. So to stop that from happening again they came up with the Gundam Fight Treaty.

Instead of always struggling for power each nation has a chance to rule the Federation every four years. So it changes hands fair and square PLUS you don't have millions of people dying everywhere all the time.

That's absurd.

To be frank? So's trying to end conflict by beating the crap out of the combatants, but that's basically what you've been explaining you're whole organization as.

No it isn't! It makes perfect sense!!

I mean it's not PERFECT but it's better than full-blown war!

You were just delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later, someone wasn't going to bother to play by your rules.

That's happened before and we fixed it. It didn't break the Fight system.

[a_mere_human]

But it exposed its flaws, which I'm guessing were never addressed.

I just said it wasn't perfect!! And if Earth was still there we would be fixing it! So it'll GET fixed when we bring Earth back!

What's YOUR system?
