New Miami

Capital of the planet After Earth, the New Galaxy

Established in 2057, New Miami is the capital of After Earth, the first planet out of the galaxy humans were first familiar with where humans started a new colony. It is also referred to as the capital of the New Galaxy. New Miami is the largest and most developed of the cities formed on any planet of the New Galaxy. It has the second largest spaceport in the New Galaxy and Old Galaxy.

Geography

New Miami has a tropical climate, as does all of After Earth. The global temperature average year round is 95 degrees fahrenheit. The spring has a lot of rain, but tropical storms are uncommon.

New Miami is famous for its beaches and beautiful views from the tops of the energy-efficient buildings that stretch up to 66 stories high. The Serenity Mountains, named after the Serenity Fleet, (also known as the Founding Fleet that first landed in New Miami 352 years ago) makes a horseshoe shape around New Miami, with the Jade Morton Ocean at the opening to the horseshoe. The Jade Ocean is named after the first boat to travel into that ocean, The Lady Jade.

Political and Economic Systems

New Miami is also known as the first planet to use the political system where anyone that has a proposition for a law or something like that can call a meeting for whoever has something to say about it or is interested in it, then everyone that that law would apply to can vote on it. There is no currency in the New Galaxy, and food, medical services, and other things are distributed equitably. Things that aren’t free are paid for mostly by trade and favors.

History

The name of the city comes from a city of the Original Earth called Miami, a city in a country called the United States of America. Miami was the last city to be subjected to hundreds of nuclear bombs that destroyed most of the original Earth. The people of the ship fleet, called the Serenity Fleet, that first landed on After Earth were mostly people originally from the slums of Miami, so they named their landing place in honor of the old city, because they landed on After Earth the very day of the bombing of Miami. Earth then resolved its political issues before transporting the remaining population to After Earth.
